Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P Review
PC Mag reviewed the Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P UMPC and concluded the computer proved to be an "extremely useful device". 'Sony has made several attempts at a handheld PC before, including the Sony VAIO VGN-U750P which was eventually discontinued in the United States. The problem with the U750P: It was too bulky and lacked a built-in keyboard. The OQO model 01 did have a QWERTY thumb keyboard, but its performance could not satisfy my needs. And then there's the Toshiba Libretto, our Editors' Choice for mini PCs, which probably has the most proficient design for a miniature laptop PC.
This 1.2-pound UX180P was certainly easy to handle when I was confined to my bed with a bad back. Unlike a laptop, I can actually hold this device above my head when I'm on my back, or play with it like I would with a Sony PlayStation Portable while lying on my stomach. At 3.7 by 5.9 by 1.3 inches (HWD), the UX180P is significantly smaller than any laptop and slightly larger than the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 (which, mind you, is a cellular phone, not a computer). It's a little thick for the skinny-jeans crowd to slip into their back pocket, but it's a perfect fit for any coat pocket or purse. '
