 
Those crazies over at Sony have busted out another line of TX laptops, the TX2 series. Weighing in at 2.7 pounds and packing Double Layer DVD recording, there is a lot here to love in a quite a tiny package. What really gets our hearts all aflutter is the 11.1-inch widescreen LCD sporting an LED backlight, which manages to save battery life and brighten our lives at the same time. They claim a 7.5-hour batter life for this thing, which sounds great, though we’d love to see what this thing could do battery and performance-wise once moved beyond the Pentium M processor into Core Duo land.

Need a bigger drive in your laptop? Seagate’s 160GB notebook drive is just the thing for those of you ready to scrap your desktop PC. Being touted as the first 2.5-inch notebook PC disc drive to use perpendicular recording technology, the aptly-named Momentus 5400.3 drive is a 5,400-rpm drive that operates with 4,200-rpm power efficiency and the perpendicular recording makes the drive density larger by standing data bits on end on the disc, rather than flat to the surface. And all this promises not to drain your battery life. Weighing less than a pound, it’s powered through a USB port and transfers data at 480Mbps.
