Has anyone tried the Sony Vaio TX850 with Vista yet? Any Photos please?

Looking to buy the UK version of the TX850 and wondered if any one had set up Vista on theirs yet. Also how well does Aero work? and general speed is ok or not.

Looking at this laptop for a travel pc with usage for photos (photoshop CS2), Internet, wireless Internet, microsoft office, no gaming. And how well will it perform with these items. With Vista and with Windows XP Pro

Feedback would be much appreciated with photos (of the Vista Aero stuff!) if possible, have to make my mind up soon, because will be travelling aboard soon for the Xmas & New Year Period. (aircraft & cruising travel)

Thank you

Yes - I have. I am running 5744 RC2 and it runs fine, additionally aero runs great! No real time or means to take pictures right now.

 

Thank you for your reply.

One more question, please!!!

Today I have seen that you can up-grade the ram of the TX850 (TX3XP UK Version which is the same) up to 2GB with the single slot and also still having the on-board ram of 512Mb

Is that correct can you can get a single slot of 2GB below info from web site below (it is expensive £250.00)

Product Description memory - 2 GB x 1 - SO DIMM 200-pin - DDR
Storage Capacity 2 GB MB x 1
Technology DDR SDRAM
Form Factor SO DIMM 200-pin

General
Storage Capacity 2 GB MB x 1
Memory
Type DRAM
Technology DDR SDRAM
Form Factor SO DIMM 200-pin
Expansion / Connectivity
Compatible Slots 1 x memory - SO DIMM 200-pin


Therefore the total would 2.5GB which I guess would help with it when upgrading to Vista next year.


Thank You, would appreciate any info

 

I am not sure how much RAM the machine will suport - I got a 1GB stick for $100US and upgrade that for a total of 1.5GB of RAM. Not sure on the max, also remember the ready boost technology included in windows which can use a USB drive or SD card.

 

I am also confused on this issue. Sony says that every TX except the TXNs can
be upgraded up to 1.5 gigs of ram and that theres 512 megs soldered unto the motherboard whereas on the TXNs, there's 1 gig of ram soldered on, so you can put another gig and get two versus the 1.5 in the previous models.

I'm not sure if you can expand the memory further, let me know.

 

I can tell you this - I have an TX850P and it had 512MB stick in it - I removed that and put in a 1GB stick - the computer shows 1.5GB of RAM. I wonder if it would support a 2GB stick? Interesting....
