Time To Say Goodbye To My Tz

I had my Sony TZ150N/B for about 9 months it was a joy to use and one of the best notebooks I ever owned. But with the new refresh of the TZ coming out I decided to sell my TZ and wait till the new refresh comes in. I was cautious at first about selling it and even had second thought when the guy handed me the money after he looked it over. But I guess like all good things my journey with the TZ had come to an end. I have now owned every T series from sony T-350, TXN15P, TX150N except the TR series. Till now I am going to hold my notebook anxiety over by purchasing a Netbook till the refresh comes out hopefully sometime this September. This was not a goodbye to the Sony forum just a temporary leave of absence.

 

I was thinking of doing the same with my TZ130N (I wanted one without the Sprint WWAN) My question is how hard would it be to upgrade the HD to and SSD drive - I am going to try to search on how to do that.

 

I will also sell my TZ by early next year latest for a new laptop, maybe a Vaio Z series. Its only slightly bigger, but far more powerful with the TZ's great style and screen qualities.

Though I would like to buy a notebook that hasn't been reviewed to review for the NBR community, I've been here almost four years and still have not reviewed a notebook.

I'm excited about ATI's upcoming XGP solution, have a 12 or 13" laptop for college and at home, a powerful gaming computer. Sadly will only be for AMD Puma notebooks for now and Intel makes far better mobile processors. If I can get this on a Z refresh........

so your leaving the utraportable world rahulmirmal I don't find myself gaming as much since I have a 360, wii, and PS2, PS3, and a PSP.

 

I would like to have an all-in-one solution, ideally a portable laptop not much bigger than the TZ (eg. Z) and be able to connect an external graphics card to it for gaming at home on my HDTV.

ATI is already trying this and I hope it will be a reality in the near future. I'd much prefer a 12-13" laptop with external graphics over having a 15 or 17" huge gaming laptop. With external graphics, I don't have to worry about my laptop heating up while gaming, I can overclock the videocard without heat worries in the small laptop case, hook up more than one videocard in CrossFire/SLI and maybe even upgrade the card later on because its modular. I'd also have greater battery life on the go with the integrated graphics.

The problem is if my laptop is gone, then I lose my work and play machine.

 

I dont really care about gaming that much I have a desktop for that. I need something portable, has long battery life, and sexy

 

I see you changed your sig, but you say you have no notebook, didn't you just buy an Acer Aspire One?

 

I did but I got a offer I couldnt refuse so I sold it

 

This is such a void of content thread. So you sold your notebook. Let's all commiserate. Anything else you would like to update us on? Did you have a regular bowel movement yesterday morning or was it a bit hard?

Jeez...

 

mark larson calm down lets be civilized if you don't like the thread don't read it. I've been here for almost four years how long have you been here for?

 

Pretty brave move..since "new" TZ models have not yet been announced. I am afraid they wont hit the stores for at least month or two.

How can you be without notebook that long...

 

really sony usually refreshes their notebooks around sept-oct.

 

Yeah I think that a new T series is coming. Everything else has been replaced...SZ-Z,SR AR-AW, CR-CS, NR-NZ, FZ-FW. They remain the ultraportables TZ,G and UX. I am pretty sure that we can say hello to the TZ and welcome a hole new model. Why? First of all, because as we see above Sony not only refreshed the hole Vaio line but replaced them totally. Afterwards, there is also the issue of the recall...

 

my brother sent his TZ90 in to get inspected I don't know when its coming back

 

Daym I wish I knew that the TZ would be replaced before.. I wouldn't have baught it ( what difference will it have?

I remember seeing images of a new tz model called type r or somthing which just had patters on it's front?

 

Dude if you don't like this topic why don't you just go out of it? or maybe just click here

 

what do you guys think about the Asus N10 its $699.00 at portable one right now only thing thats a deal breaker is the screen at 1024x600 and its 1.6 atom cpu. It has HDMI, Geforce 9300 and Intel 950 Graphics, and fingerprint reader

 

It looks nice with its ability to switch between the GMA 950 and Nvidia graphics like the Vaio SZ/Z.

But I think the screen resolution and CPU are holding it back, it should have at least a 1280x768 resolution like the HP 2133 netbook and dual-core Atom, even though its not released yet.
I like the HDMI out and thats why the Nvidia graphics were put there, the GMA 950 doesn't support it.

Its a high end netbook but feels pretty out of place.


EDIT: I noticed on PortableOne they are saying that new Vaio UX models are coming....hmmm......

 

yah but the atom is not that bad I mean i would encode any videos with it or anything. But when I had it on my acer aspire one i was able to watch HD 720p Movies on it using core codec
