Sony VAIO UX390 - CNET

A review of the Sony VAIO UX390 ultra-portable PC has been posted on CNET. 'It would be easy to describe the Sony VAIO UX390, with its two-hand design and slide-out keyboard, as a $2,500 Sidekick. The UX390 is actually slightly larger, thicker, and heavier than the T-Mobile phone--measuring 5.9 inches wide by 3.7 inches deep by 1.5 inches thick. Slide the 4.5-inch screen up, exposing the keyboard, and the system is 5.25 inches deep. The VAIO UX390 is only 1.1 pounds (1.6 with the AC adapter), which is lighter than the smallest ultraportable laptop, but for such a tiny device, it feels somewhat heavy.

The 4.5-inch display's 1,024x600 native resolution is clear and bright, but Web sites and onscreen icons can be hard to read at arm's length. Two zoom keys are located on the right side of the device, but they're slow and the zoomed-in image is blocky and hard to see. You'd be better off just changing to a lower resolution if visibility is a problem.'
