Digital Trends reviews the new Sony Vaio UX50 device here on their website. Don’t confuse the UX50 as being a part of the Ultra-Mobile PC initiative though - this machine has different specs than a typical UMPC. The UX50 features:

  • 1.06 GHz Intel Core Solo U1300 processor
  • 512MB of memory
  • 30GB HDD
  • Intel 950 graphics
  • 69 key keyboard
  • 4.5 inch widescreen touchscreen display
  • Screen resolution of 1024 x 600
  • Bluetooth support
  • 802.11 a/b/g support
  • Built in camera

If you take a look at the pictures in the Digital Trends review, you’ll realize that the UX50 is one small beast - it strikes a form factor that’s larger than a PDA but smaller than a ultra portable notebook. I love the notion of an integrated keyboard - let’s face it, despite Microsoft’s push for the Tablet PC OS, a keyboard is still a must. So here’s the verdict from Digital Trends:

The UX50 may not be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a highly portable device that can handle tasks usually requiring a full featured PC, take a serious look at the UX50. Sony has outdone themselves with the combination of software, hardware and aesthetics, resulting in a device unmatched by any ultraportable PC on the market. Forget the UMPC hype. This is what the UMPC was meant to be.
