SONY VAIO UX 92 Special

Sony’s illustrious history of tiny handhelds dates back to the original GT- and U-series. Industry watchers long expected innovative Sony to posit an impressive entry to this season’s spate of ultra-mobile PCs. But, the new UX-series goes beyond those elevated expectations.The Vaio UX-series is a 1.08 pound Windows Vista machine featuring an Intel Core 2 Solo 1.2ghz processor, every imaginable I/O port (including a port replicator), and a 4.5″ 1024×600 glossy TFT with remarkably high pixel density. In addition to its touchscreen, controls include a slide-out backlit keyboard, mouse controls, magnification, screen capture, and fingerprint reader. Connectivity includes wifi, Bluetooth, and a CF card slot for wireless. (The UX380 and UX390 have no slot but include a Cingular EDGE connection module.) The standard HDD options are 40gb or 100gb. Another impressive feat is that Sony has replaced the standard hard drive with 32GB or 64GB of solid state memory. (If you need more storage, the CF slot is available.) This is an expensive option, but has myriad advantages: it is lighter, extends the battery life, meaningfully improves boot time and system speed, and is much less prone to data loss due to physical damage. This is a great solution for organizations that need durable portability. Once you have used this, it is obvious that someday soon (once price goes down and size goes up) we will all be using solid state on all our HDDs. The UX-series is Skype- and videoconference-ready, with a 360k pixel camera facing the user. And, it is ideal for blogging and video capture, thanks to its second (1.3-megapixel) camera facing outward.
