The Vaio VGN-TX2 stands out by its quiet operation, long battery life and low weight compared to similar models from other manufacturers.
The 700 series is similar, except it had a 1.3 GHz Pentium M processor and 80 gigabyte hard drive.
The TXN model was only available in North America and is similar to the TX800, except it had a built in Sprint EVDO modem and antenna whereas the TX800 series lacked either.
They also had an instant-on feature, which has become a common feature in notebooks since HP introduced it in their notebooks in late 2004 which lets one play DVD movies, view photos from a memory stick or SD card or play music CDs without booting up to Windows.
All models used the older PCMCIA card standard whereas some of its competitors at the time opted to use the newer Expresscard format.
