Greetings !

Let’s say I’m in serious dillema. 

I’m leaning toward TX651 but sometimes I end up thinking about S560.  :?

I want small and light notebook with good battery life but on the other hand I don’t know if TX will suffice with his 1.2 GHz ULV and GMA 900 for general purpose. I’m also afraid that 11.1” screen will be to small.
But then again, S doesn’t have Bluetooth built in, it’s bigger and heavier than TX, and battery life is way shorter.

You guys that have tried both T(X) and S, can you drop comment or two ?

Thank you in advance !

hehe…I’ve got the same dilemma…neither gives me everything…

it’s too bad the battery life seems to have gone downhill on the newer S models…some of the earlier units (1 and 2 series) claimed to have 2.5-4 hours w/ the standard battery…that would work for me, but 1.5-3 isn’t going to cut it, if that’s accurate on the newer units…otherwise, this unit provides everything else I need…but I’m also concerned about the heat generated by all of these units…my old R505 gets a bit hot, but the FAN never comes on and when it does, it’s pretty quiet…I don’t want to be carrying around a noise-maker…

on the TX, i love the design and size, could probably live w/ the 11” screen as well, battery life would be awesome…but recent posts about it indicate it’s hot and noisy as well…so again, not sounding good for this unit too…

so i’d be interested to hear from folks that have used both too…to correct my impressions from reading posts (if i’ve gotten the wrong impression).

These two are uncomparable.

I have a S3xx at work and a personal T3xx

If you are concerned about browsing, email, mp3, video and dvd’s the T/TX will do just fine. You can get a T, not a TX or wait until Sony comes up with the next TX model, and hope that they might fix all the stupid bugs.

I just bought a S46TP in Taiwan.  I have been using TR1T for about 2 years now.  let me tell you, S46TP is a very powerful notebook compare to TR1T, I can play CS on it. But the battery life is a little short.

I kind of miss the convinient & compact size of TR1T.  I will probably get the new TX when they are available in Taiwan.

By the way,  does anyone know how can I upgrade the type S to 2G RAM.  I think I will have to take out screw behind the keyboard in order to change the bank 0 RAM to 1G.  Any picture on how to do that ?

thank you.
