First Look at Sony's Tiny Vaio UX180p

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the weentsy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MobileTechReview has posted a first look at the Sony Vaio UX180P Micro PC and comparison of it with UMPC and OQO. "When I first heard about the Sony UX series, I nearly dismissed it because I just couldn't imagine that 1024 x 600 on a 4.5" screen could ever be readable. Yes, the price is certainly another issue-- consumers don't flock to spend twice as much on a "notebook" that's less than half the size of a standard ultralight. At least not in the SUV-lovin' US. Well, happily I was wrong. That tiny XBRITE display is easily readable, despite the number of pixels squeezed into close company""

    This is Slashdot. You're supposed to stick this into your utility belt, along with the batarang and ninja smoke pellets. The handcuffs don't really belong in there. But you never know.
