    I already owned a Viao V505AX which is quite good for the purpose, but I now would like to change to a lighter one. The Viao TR Series which is smaller and lighter.
    Can anyone tell me what are the difference between the model numbers: TR3AP1 and TR3AP2?
    Can anyone knows which vendor offers the best deal?
    Perhaps someone has a better alternatives?

    Thank you for your expertise.
    You seem to know a lot about this notebook.
    Do you think it is worth the money?

    Yeah, look at the Fujitsu P5020D, it's a much better value for the dollar. In the Fujitsu forum I just replied to a similar question, so take a look there.
