Amazon.com Product Description

With the arrival of the Sony Vaio VGN-UX280P Micro PC, you'll soon think that laptops are too bulky. Placing full-size computer performance into a pocket-sized package, the UX280P weighs just over a pound and measures 5.9 by 3.75 inches to easily fit in the palm of your hand. It features a 4.5-inch widescreen SVGA screen that ingeniously slides up to expose an integrated keyboard. The pocket-sized UX280P comes equipped with a stylus and Sony's VAIO touch launcher for quick access to functions frequently used such as Internet access, e-mail, various computer applications, games, and music. Just push the launcher button located on the side of the unit.

It's powered by Windows XP Professional and Intel's groundbreaking Core Solo processor with ultra-low voltage for extended battery life. Advanced wireless capabilities are built right in--including tri-mode Wi-Fi, WWAN, WLAN, and Bluetooth--and expansion is a breeze with the included port replicator. It even includes two built-in cameras--one on the front (0.3 megapixels) for VoIP tele/videoconferencing and the other (1.3 megapixels) on the back for taking snapshots. Other technical features include a 40 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, a Memory Stick slot, and a full complement of pre-installed software (from Internet security to Sony digital media titles). For added convenience, a docking station with three 2.0 USB ports, Ethernet, VGA, iLink (FireWire/IEEE-1394) interface and an AV output comes with the unit, making it easy to connect to peripherals like a full-sized keyboard, display and speakers when back in the office or at home.

Advanced Wireless Mobility
The UX280P features Sony's SmartWi technology, which seamlessly integrates wireless Wide Area Network (WAN), 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth technologies, enabling you to toggle among your wireless connectivity options depending on your surroundings. The tri-mode wireless LAN is compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). The integrated wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) technology lets you access the Cingular Wireless EDGE network to extend your wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots (a Cingular SIM card is included; see more about WWANs below). And with the Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can synchronize and transfer files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 40 GB Ultra ATA hard drive (4200 RPM) is on the small side when compared to full-size notebooks, but it is understandable in such a small package. Sony's G-Sensor shock protection offers an advantage over traditional hard drives by safeguarding the notebook's internal mechanisms to protect against impact and help prevent a loss of data.
Processor: The Ultra Low Voltage Intel CoreSolo U1400 processor is new to Intel as of June, 2006, and it offers a 1.2 GHz speed paired with a fast 533 MHz front-side bus and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The Core Solo processor delivers enhanced performance for today's demanding applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming. And Intel's Smart Cache technology enables smarter, more efficient cache and bus design for enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings.
Memory: It's loaded with 1 GB of 400 MHz, PC-3200 DDR2 RAM. On the downside, that's the maximum that the UX280P will accept, so you won't be able to upgrade. But on the upside, it's double the 512 MB that its predecessor (the UX180P) held.
CD/DVD Drive: The UX280P does not come with an integrated optical drive, but Sony offers an optional, external multi-format DVD burner (VGP-DDRW4).
Keyboard & Mouse: The hidden keyboard has 64 keys with a 0.15mm stroke and 8.6mm pitch.

Screen, Graphics and Sound
The UX280P's wide, touchscreen 4.5-inch XBRITE LCD has a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (SVGA) and includes control buttons for zooming, scrolling, and a stick pointer, as well as the ability to view in either landscape or portrait orientations. The high brightness level of an XBRITE display means that black tones appear richer and deeper while white tones remain brighter. Graphics and text display clearly and colors appear more lifelike. This Micro PC includes a built-in monaural speaker and is compatible with the Windows sound system. Video and graphics are powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 128 MB of shared video memory.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The UX280P has a single USB 2.0 port, headphone and microphone jacks, Memory Stick slot (compatible with Memory Stick DUO and MagicGate functionality), and a port replicator connection. The included port replicator offers three USB 2.0, FireWire, VGA out, composite A/V out, and Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX) connections.

Preloaded System and Software
This system comes with the Windows XP Professional Edition (which adds Microsoft's IIS Web server, back-up and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features) with Service Pack 2 featuring Advanced Security Technologies, which helps to reduce unwanted downloads and pop-ups while surfing the Web. Other preloaded software includes Norton Internet Security (60-day trial), Microsoft Streets and Trips, Intervideo WinDVD, Quicken 2006 New User Edition, Microsoft Works 8.5, Microsoft Office 2003 (60-day trial), and Roxio DigitalMedia SE. It also comes loaded with a bevy of Sony multimedia software: SonicStage (digital music), Vaio Media (network file sharing), and Image Converter (for PSP transfer).

Dimensions and Weight
Amazingly small, the UX280P measures 5.9 x 3.75 x 1.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs just 1.2 pounds with the included standard battery.

Power
It comes with the standard VGP-BPS6 standard capacity lithium ion battery, which provides between 2.5 and 4.5 hours of power (depending on usage). The optional large capacity VGP-BPL6 battery can power the UX280P for up to 9 hours.

What's in the Box
This package contains the VGN-UX280P, stylus, lithium-ion rechargeable battery, AC adapter and power cord, port replicator, Cingular SIM card, soft carrying case, and VGA/LAN adapter. It's backed by a 1-year limited warranty with 1 year of toll-free technical telephone assistance.

Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
If you're the ultimate road warrior, you need to access the Internet and check e-mail without having to plug in your Sony Vaio notebook PC, and without cables to boot. Welcome to the world of WWANs (wireless wide area networks). With WWANs, you can access critical network resources and home office files from the front seat of your car, the airport, the local coffee shop, or your recliner at home. Sony Vaio computers use SmartWi technology to access the Cingular Wireless national EDGE (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) network.

A WWAN uses long-range wireless connections -- the same networks as cellular phones -- to provide access across a large geographic area. In comparison, a WLAN (wireless LAN) covers only one or more buildings located close together. The use of wireless connectivity on a WLAN is simply an alternative to the PSTN (public switched telephone network), which you may have used -- or still use -- to dial into your ISP (Internet service provider) or reach your company's network. On a WWAN, however, you use wireless connectivity to reach your carrier's data network instead of plugging into a phone jack and dialing into your ISP. Each mobile device communicates with the public carrier's base station, providing coverage across entire states, regions, and countries via cell phone towers.

Security & Safety Features
Sony's line of Vaio UX micro-PCs take security seriously, employing a biometric fingerprint sensor and proprietary hard disk drive protection software to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized use as well as accidental damage. Fingerprint biometrics is a convenient and secure way to protect your computer and the information on it with a simple swipe of your finger. It also stores passwords to secure web sites you visit, so authentication and access are quick and easy--you only need your fingerprint.

The G-Sensor shock protection feature makes your data even less vulnerable to loss or damage. When the built-in 3-D acceleration sensor detects a risky movement like being dropped, the HDD-head will lock up to secure its position and protect the disc from scratching. An intelligent algorithm, unique to VAIO PCs, judges whether or not a movement is risky, activating disk drive protection only when your hardware is at risk.

Customer Reviews:

Sony VAIO VGN-UX280 for the mobile user.......2007-12-24

The Sony VAIO VGN-UX280N is not the best choice for conventional laptop computer use. It is, however, a superior computer for someone who travels a great deal and needs a computer suited for mobile use. I'm a field archaeologist and I have used this computer while traveling and it has increased my productivity. While I'm in the field I make use of many of the features to produce reports simply, easily and I'm able to transmit these reports directly to a user at a great distance. It also allows me to keep notes and provide detailed memos that I need for my work. Some of the applications that make the best use the computer are:
* Book Reader: The computer can be used as an excellent electronic book reader. I have three book readers installed on my computer, including Adobe reader, Microsoft reader and Adobe Digital editions. Whenever I have this computer, I always have a book to read from the wide library of inexpensive or free books that I can download from the Internet.
* GPS: If you install a GPS program like DeLorme and use a simple GPS antenna attaches to the computer through your USB port, you will have an excellent GPS system for your car that has all the same features including voice directions that a dedicated car GPS has. If you've ever tried to use a larger laptop with a GPS antenna and GPS software you know how unwieldy that is. This computer is small enough that it can be easily mounted anywhere in your car and the screen showing your position and route will be visible. I have been able to use the GPS software to travel directly to remote destinations and also use it to create detailed maps that I used in reports.
* Voice Recognition Software: Software like Via Voice or Dragon Speak with a good quality microphone can turn this computer into effective machine that recognizes your dictation and turns it into text. This is another invaluable tool for someone on the go; you can dictate while you're driving, in an airport or when you are walking around. I have dictated long detailed sets of field notes while my memory was fresh when I was driving. I was able to use time to produce my notes that normally would have been lost. Your spoken word will be turned into a set of notes they can easily be referred to and shared with others at a later time.
* Tablet PC: The computers equipped with several utilities allow it to be used as a tablet PC. Sony provides a program entitled "Pen Plus" which allows the user to make drawings using the stylus on the touch screen and save them. I have used this feature to produce simple measure diagrams that I can then store and refer to at a later time. Microsoft Word also has utility that will convert script entered onto the touchpad with a stylus into text. At meetings I have used this feature to take detailed notes that did not need to be typed for the record.
* Communication: The computer can communicate through Bluetooth, WiFi, and cellular phone technology with other devices. A user can communicate through e-mail through an existing cellular phone with Bluetooth, through WiFi using the Intel Pro set wireless setup system and finally you can set up a wireless account through Cingular using cell phone technology. This means that you can communicate through e-mail and other forms using these three forms of communication almost anywhere.
* Keyboard: The existing keyboard that is provided with a computer is difficult to use. Replacing this keyboard with a simple portable keyboard that is connected through USB will allow the user to enter data quickly and easily.
* Camera: The existing camera that is provided with a computer can be used for various types of field documentation. As a field archaeologist, I can easily take photographs using the camera and insert them into reports. There are better cameras on the market than the one provided with this computer but the simplicity and functionality of having this camera combined with a computer provides me with a system that outweighs any weaknesses.

While I was doing fieldwork about 10 years ago I wished I had a device that combines GPS, a camera and a computer that would allow me to compose reports detailing the location, the appearance and a narrative description of problem areas such levee breaks that I hiked out to see. This computer gives me the ability to do all these things simply and easily and provides a method for transmitting my results quickly through cell phone technology to a user who may need the information right away.

Awesome!!.......2007-12-17

Small, ultra portable, awesome screen.
Hook it to your belt and go.
Like everybody else says, the extended battery is a must.
I use mine with Sprint's wireless usb card, just like broadband at home.

field service engineer must have!.......2007-12-12

as a field service engineer carrying a tool box, manuals, parts and that brick of a dell laptop every where. my little vaio saves the day. if your on the road 5 to 6 days a week it rocks.
true, it is a complete laptop in the palm of your hand. i can even take over the customer's tool thru the port replicator.
key board is small, but if you have been link to a crackberry for the past few years. then the key board is huge.
the cell internet that comes with it, sucks. get the sprint thumb drive wireless thingy. it works in every major city, europe, and the middle east. its almost as fast as your home connection.
the screen size is perfect for reading DOCs or PDFs. i had everything on a dell axim in the past. which you can't read any doc on. its just too small. i now carry all my tech manuals and procedures on the vaio.
no more dragging that gaint, heavy crappy dell laptop thru the airports. security is a non issue, the vaio hangs on my belt, making messing around with my shoes, belt, coins and cell easy. i don't even carry a bag any more.
you will need the large battery if you plan on working during your flights. the normal battery lasts about 3 hrs. the large about 7hrs, thats JFK to London right there. on one battery!

If you want to use it's GPRS, think twice... It may not work in your country operater!.......2007-11-24

I bought to use it in Turkiye. But I cannot access to internet. This product uses Sony Ericsson'un CG83 EDGE Modem (850Mhz, 1800Mhz, 1900Mhz). My GSM operator (Turkcell 900MHz) and others (Avea and Vodafone) doesn't work with it. I try to find a solution and reach a blog. I have to buy a GSM adaptor to access to internet! If you want to buy and use outside of USA, Think twice. Reach to your operator and ask that.

Interesting, but possibly fragile.......2007-11-16

I've owned one of these for about 6 months now. I have dropped it a few times. The case has developed micro-cracks at the sharp corners. More problematic is that it has a memory fault I discovered while installing Fedora 8. I would recommend obtaining a Fedora 8 i386 boot disk and performing a memtest upon receipt of the device.

It works somewhat with Linux/Fedora. The thumb-stick functions as a mouse, ethernet works, I have heard wireless works, and the touchscreen worked somewhat for me. It can be booted from many usb DVD drives (there is a BIOS option to select a USB CD/DVD drive as a boot device).

It is an interesting product, in that I could have a good use for it. It could be improved by making the case more durable.
