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""

    Apparently no one here has ever heard of the IBM T221. Maximum resolution was 3840 x 2400, 32 bit color @ 13 hz.... it was only a 21" screen... Let's just say you haven't ever written a line of code until you can readably fit more than 100 lines onto the same editor view.

    I wish Apple would make tiny machines like this. The smallest laptop they have is too big for me.

    Well it looks like the Micro PC blew the QOQ away.

    KG: N...no, that's, that'd be impossible. Your QOQ can support your whole weight?
    JB: Well not at first...
    KG: Yeah?
    JB: But over time.
    KG: Hmm...how many pushups can you do?
    JB: ...QOQ pushups?
    KG: Yeah...I guess, you could only do one really.
    JB: Yeah, well one is all ya need.
