Sony has released an update to its ultra-portable VAIO TX2 series notebooks. The new VAIO TX3 series forgoes the previous model's ULV Pentium-M processors and replaces them with new Core Solo (1.06GHz, 1.2GHz) and Celeron-M processors (1.06GHz).
Not much else has changed physically and the new TX3 shares the same 11.1" LED backlight display. 512MB of memory is standard (up to 1.5GB supported) along with a Super-Multi DVD burner, 40/60/80GB hard drive options, two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire port, 802.11a/b/g wireless, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, fingerprint scanner and a 3-in-1 media reader. Interestingly enough, the new TX3 series sports a standard PCMCIA Type-II slot for expansion instead of the newer ExpressCard/54 interface. The VGN-TX72B/B model even comes with an OneSeg digital TV tuner complete with iEPG programming guide.
