The unique and sophisticated design of VAIO TX57GN/B is ideal for ultra light and stylish mobility with high performance. Here is a refined machine built for speed and endurance that match the pace of modern lifestyles with power to spare. From any angle, the ultra portable VAIO TX57GN/B looks innovatively stylish. Right off you'll notice the unique sapphire black exterior shaped in a razor-sharp profile. Carbon material and white LED are among the sophisticated technologies creating an ultra slim and light design especially prominent in the display cabinet. When the VAIO TX57GN/B is fully opened, the ultra-slim display and thin body cabinet converge at the unique hinge, which becomes the centre of gravity. This is the "gravity-joint" design. Smoothly integrating these varied elements, VAIO TX57GN/B communicates exceptional luxury as seen in trendy sports cars. Enjoy a smooth, smart ride with the trim and sleek VAIO TX57GN/B.         An outer shell composed of the multi-carbon fibre used in racecars is finished in sapphire black for a sophisticated, eye-catching look. Simple, smooth elegance is enhanced by the VAIO mirror logo in black. A special coating is applied to this unique VAIO mirror logo in black to create another unmistakable accent by which VAIO is known.   Neatly placed at the upper right corner of the keyboard and masked in light-green lettering, AV Mode and AV control buttons maintain VAIO's attention to stylish detail. These buttons are easily reached for instant mobile access, even when the lid is closed.           VAIO TX57GN/B's keyboard is coloured metallic grey to match palm rest and speaker panel, all in dramatic contrast to the top, bottom, and sides set in sapphire black. Function follows appealing form as key surfaces have been expanded from previous VAIO T models for easier typing. Offering stylishness as well as high functionality, VAIO TX57GN/B satisfies your different mobile needs.   The touchpad and right/left buttons set below the keyboard also have a high design priority. Flawlessly matching the metallic grey of the palm rest and interior panels, the touchpad and right/left buttons blend naturally into VAIO TX57GN/B's overall design.           Two VAIO TX57GN/B speakers, located on the upper right and left of the keyboard, are protected by a simple mesh cover fully extending across the width in a pattern coloured dark grey that perfectly harmonises with VAIO TX57GN/B's interior design.   The base of the VAIO TX57GN/B has cutaway edges that look and feel sharp. This unique design not only reduces weight but adds yet another graceful accent overall. Form and function again are made one in the sleek curve at the back, balanced to comfortably fit the hand.   © 2006 Sony Corporation
