Today, the ultimate goal seems to be appearing slim but without seeming fragile.
With people, this means building supple but strong muscles. For VAIO, strands of carbon fibre have been adopted to achieve its goal of being stylishly tough.
Carbon fibres have long given aircraft and racecars their rigid, lightweight strength. An outgrowth of space-flight technology, carbon fibre was once called “chemical thread.” Despite being so thin, it’s stronger than steel. This makes it ideal for making portable products like the VAIO TX robust enough for use anywhere.
Sony jointly developed with Toray, the high-tech textile and chemical producer, a practical thread as strong and elastic as that used to protect drivers from crashes on the track. These threads are tightly positioned with one another to create multi-layered carbon fibre sheets, which are then layered together into a plate to form the VAIO TX’s body. Despite being as thin as 21mm in places, it is stronger and lighter than the magnesium-alloy used for most notebooks of the past.
The VAIO Notebook 505 Extreme introduced in Japan was the first to use such carbon-based materials. Now this newest VAIO TX introduced worldwide uses the same evolving Sony technology and ideas to make the most solid and durable notebook ever.
For even more solidness, the VAIO TX’s LCD screen has been refined to give a flat backing structure to better protect against breakage caused by surface pressure.
Today, notebook PCs have become the mainstream for both business and pleasure. So they must be as slim as possible—and even tougher than ever for use everywhere. Not only is the VAIO TX stylishly slim but also its special sinews make it more muscular than you can imagine.
