  Sony Recommends Windows Vista® Business

VAIO® UX Micro PC

The VAIO® UX Micro PC delivers full-sized performance in a pocket-size PC. >> View the Interactive Flash Tour.
 
   
Ultra-portable performance
About the width and height of a postcard and at only 1.1 lbs.1 with standard battery, this remarkably compact hand-held computer is designed for true PC performance on-the-go. A 4.5" widescreen display2 with XBRITE™ LCD technology delivers clean, crisp picture quality while an Intel® Core™ 2 Solo Ultra Low Voltage processor and Microsoft Vista® Business operating system3 provide full-sized PC performance.
 
 
Cutting-edge Solid State Drive
The VAIO® UX490 takes PC modernization to a new level by utilizing a Solid State Drive (SSD). Faster and more durable, the SSD provides quicker access to select applications and enhanced durability while conserving power.

Faster: Enjoy quicker access to your applications. The VAIO UX Premium's SSD launches select applications up to 37% faster than equivalent hard drive models4.

More durable: Without the moving parts of a standard hard drive, the VAIO UX Premium's SSD is less prone to hardware damage when you're on the move.

Conserves power: In business, minutes count. And the VAIO UX Premium's SSD increases battery life by up to 30 minutes10.

Mobile communications
True mobility is about broad access, just as much as it is about slim, lightweight design. And the VAIO® UX Micro PC takes that access farther than ever before. With integrated wireless Wide Area Network (WAN)5 technology, you can access the AT&T national wireless EDGE network5 to extend your wireless coverage virtually anywhere you go. And to complement this wireless access, the UX Micro PC also comes with 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN6 for convenient wireless access to LAN networks and public hotspots, as well as Bluetooth® technology7 for cable-free connectivity to Bluetooth-enabled peripherals, such as mice, headsets and more. In addition, the VAIO UX features two built-in cameras - one for video conferencing9 and the other for shooting photos.
 
 
Bundled with essential extras
When you buy a VAIO® UX490 Premium, you get more than just a sleek, cutting-edge Micro PC. You also get essential tools that enhance its power and functionality. We've bundled the UX490 Micro PC with a large capacity battery and a Bluetooth® GPS receiver7. With these two items, you'll enjoy extended battery life of 3 to 7 hours8, plus you'll be able to use your VAIO UX as a fully functional GPS device5.
