Sonys UX series has been around in Japan for some time, only available on these shores via unofficial import. The UX1XN - UX1 for short - is the first model to be officially supported over here and its fully kitted out with Windows Vista Business t...
Theres no denying the UX1 is an impressive feat of engineering, packing a full Vista PC into such a small space. However, its main limitation is its physical size, restricting its usability. Its great to use on the go, but youll probably want somet...

Speedy and adequately functional for light use, the UX1 - though not perfect - is the best UMPC yet. Despite years of development, the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) concept is still far from perfect. Essentially, there are two problems: Windows needs extensi...

Since the concept was introduced a year ago, Ultra mobile PCs (UMPCs) have been gradually grabbing more and more headlines. Thanks to the UMPC initiative - championed by Microsoft, Intel and Samsung among others - the idea that a fully functioning laptop...
The UX1XN is certainly a highly desirable thing. Getting Vista to run in an acceptable fashion on a device this small is a feat in itself, but its impressive, notebook-like specification and decent battery life, coupled with very compact dimensions and li...

Thus far the UMPC concept has been just that, a concept. The hardware has been less than compelling, as manufacturers worry more about price point than producing something people want. To be fair, I enjoyed the Samsung Q1 at times and think it has a fu...
