When You Really, Really Want to Upgrade a Tiny Notebook

Benz145 writes "The famous Sony VAIO UX UMPC may have been cancelled a few years back by Sony, but the community at Micro PC Talk won't let it die. Modder Anh has carefully removed the relatively slow 1.33Ghz Core Solo CPU and installed a much faster Intel Core 2 Duo U7700 (a process which involves reballing the entire CPU). On top of this, he managed to install an incredibly small 4-port USB hub into the unit which allowed for the further instillation of a Huawei E172 modem for 3G data/voice/SMS, a GPS receiver, and a Pinnacle HD TV receiver. All of this was done without modifying the device's tiny external case. Great high-res pictures of the motherboard with the modded hardware can be seen through the link."

Re:full size? where?

I used 'your' correctly.

so funny to see the correctors needing correction, themselves.

as for capitalization, its VERY common here and elsewhere on tech forums for engineers not to bother with capping sentence starts. old style thing that is not needed. you can read my text just fine and know where the start and end is. typing caps is painful (for older guys like me, yes, shift keys are a pita).

lets see what you'll find in this reply to criticize. but to call someone out for not using caps is just absurd. so many tech people follow this style, its fully validated these days and actually quite common.

for *formal text* I will take the effort; but not for informal chatter. not worth the pain (literally). ...and there's actually more explanation than (note proper use of word) you deserve.
