Sony's Updated UX280 Micro PC
Well, it certainly looks like Sony is on a product release rampage. Looks like they have just updated the old UX180 that I was soooo lusting over, and now it's the UX280. Major improvements have been made in memory (bumped up to 1GB) and storage (doubled to 40GB). The UX280 UX280P is "Windows Vista™ Premium Ready, Edge, WiFi and Bluetooth are built right in, and expansion is a breeze with the included port replicator. The processor is still a Core Solo U1200, shame they didn't go the Duo-Core route, but it's still an impressive little machine. Now for the typical Sony blow to the gut...the price is a whopping $1999. Now what on God's earth is Sony thinking here? Have they any clue what kind of a Mac Notebook you can buy for that kind of money? I mean the form factor is great, but it isn't THAT great that I am willing to blow $2k on it. So once again, Sony comes out the door guns blazin, only to get nuked by their own "friendly fire." Nice try Sony, let me know when you come back to planet Earth and I'll consider buying one at that time.
