Full-Function Pocket-Sized PCSony

Professional.
New VAIO UX Model
Combines Micro-Portable Design with Smooth
FunctionalitySony
Electronics today introduced the VAIO® UX Micro PC, placing full-size
computer performance in a pocket-sized
package.Weighing just over
a pound, the new PC has a Microsoft® XP Professional operating system and
an Intel® Core™ Solo Ultra Low Voltage CPU for fast processing and
long battery life.The UX
model also features a 4.5-inch wide SVGA screen with XBRITE™ technology
for viewing that slides up to expose an integrated keyboard. This allows you to
access familiar applications easily in the same way you would on a full-sized
computer.The pocket-sized
PC also 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.“This model is
an achievement in ingenious design,” said Mike Abary, vice president of
VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics in the U.S. “With this pocket
PC, you can have the same functionality as your office or home PC in a device
that fits in the palm of your
hand.”Keeping
travelers connected, the new computer incorporates Sony’s SmartWi™
technology, so you can toggle between wireless WWAN, LAN and Bluetooth®
technology for convenient access to the Internet and
e-mail.WLAN is also
available for Wi-Fi connections at home, office or hotspots; Bluetooth ®
technology for peripherals; or WWAN for access to Cingular’s nationwide
EDGE network, which allows you to connect to the Internet virtually anywhere
there is cellular
coverage.The UX model also
incorporates two built-in cameras -- one in front for VoIP communication for
on-the-go video conferencing and another located on the back for taking photos.
A VGA adapter is included to connect the PC to a projector, making it easy to
share presentations and spreadsheets with a
group.Security is also a
top priority. The VAIO UX PC comes equipped with an integrated biometrics
fingerprint sensor, so you do not have to remember passwords. Incorporated
G-Sensor™ shock protection has been added to protect the unit’s hard
drive and reduces the risk of data loss should it be
dropped.For added
convenience, a docking station with three 2.0 USB ports, Ethernet, VGA,
iLink® 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.
The VAIO UX Micro PC will
be available in July for about $1,800 and can be purchased online at
www.sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® stores or at select retailers around the
country.More
