Some interesting articles following the announcement of the Sony VAIO UX, that you should read if you are interested in this.
Sony has come out with a spectacular little Micro Portable device. It’s not really an Ultra Mobile PC (Origami), and it’s not really a notebook – it’s similar to the OQO Model 01+. It is powered by an Intel Core Solo U1400 processor (1.2GHz), with 512MB memory, 30GB harddrive, and has a 4.5-inch widescreen 800×600 or 1024×600 or touchscreen display.

Yesterday saw the announcement from Sony Europe, concerning their new VAIO VGN-SZ2 series of ultraportable notebooks. These notebooks have a 13.3-inch display, and weigh just 3.5 pounds, due to the carbon fiber chassis/casing.

Two models have been announced, the VGN-SZ2XP/C and the VGN-SZ2VP/C, with the VP/C having a T2600 Intel Core Duo (2.16GHz) and being considered the top-end model.
The SZ2 series has a very unique feature – being able to switch from Intel’s 945GM vidoe chipset to an NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7400 video chipset for gaming and multimedia. The 945GM can be used to save battery life when needed.

Trustedâ„¢ Platform Module (TPM) hardware and fingerprint recognition combine to make the VP/C and XP/C as tough to crack digitally as … Read more
