Nice Notebook PC but High Price
I have had my UX280 for about two weeks now and I've had no major disappointments with it. Being a previous owner of numerous palmtops and PDA, I have to keep reminding myself this is a REAL computer, in spite of its small size. It comes preloaded with tons of demo/trial software (Norton Internet Suit, Roxio, Microsoft Contact Manager, Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006, a few generic titles...) I elected to remove most of it and I used my own personal registration info for the Office 2003 whic...

Upgrading to Vista through Sony
This is a chore. I rated the unit as a 5 because it is fantastic for what I wanted and is truly very portable. As a 61 year old geek this is just what I was waiting for. The 40 hard drive comes with the first 10 gigs used by the manufacturer to store the install software and is apparently not deleted after the install. Shame on Sony for this.
Sony's upgrade DVD to Vista Business is a chore to install if you don't delete the partition first with XP installed the problems get to be ...

Excellent device for both work and play
It is very tiny, by far the smallest fully functional computer I've ever had. It much larger than a PDA though so users used to putting a PDA in their pocket will not be happy with this. It would fit in really baggy pants pockets I suppose, but not in any pockets for anything I wear. It does fit nicely in my winter coat pocket. It really doesn't matter to me though as I have a small backpack-like case that I carry it in, along with keyboard, mouse, AC adapter, extra batteries for all, dongle for...

The replacement of your laptop, PDA and iPod
I got a week using the 280P intensively as I am very satisfied. This is the model to pick, you do not want to go through the learning curve of MS Vista with this little screen and keyboard. Starting with the obvious, this is a real PC, not a PDA, so expect to expend hours getting your base software a communications activated, updated and registered. This by itself becomes a crash course on using the little screen, keyboard and mouse. The screen is very usable, especially with the zoom feature. T...

a fully functioning computer in the palm of my hand
The sony vaio vgn-ux280p is probably the last mobile pc ill ever need. It runs exceptionally well considering the size and even has the hardware to run command and conquer generals fairly well. If you are familiar with windows xp (who isn't) than this mobile pc wont be any thing new in terms of software however, if you are looking for something new, the vgn-ux280p is compatible with windows vista. So, if you are`looking for a computer that performs like the one on your desk but fits in the palm ...

One of the best computers I've every used!
I am thoroughly impressed with this incredible machine. It does absolutely everything a "regular" laptop can do, except it is tiny and ULTRA-PORTABLE.
I teach and I wanted a machine that would allow me to access the internet, connect to a TV, use my usual word processing applications, and listen to and view movies, and most importantly something that could fit in my bag without being cumbersome. Now I can share all the wonderful things that the internet has to offer without needing a...

Mobile Powerhouse for Professionals
This thing does it all. It allows you to go from home den/work space to office seamlessly, never having to turn it off. It has completely replaced my more powerful PC. Five stars.
Here's some advice, though:
- Get the extended battery. Battery life is arguably the greatest downfall for this mini-titan. With the screen on full brightness (you can choose to dim the screen while on battery) you'll only get about an hour of life before you have to recharge. DESPITE what Sony te...

Recommended? Yes and no
It works good for me at glance. However, there are many things that you need to consider before making your decision. The first thing is it does not come with a program that we could use along with the stylus instead of using keyboard like other devices such as tablet PC or Pocket PC, so it is very inconvenient when you take it to a conference room or something, you always have to put your attention on typing on the very small keyboard. The next thing is the battery just lasts arount two hours, ...

Road Warrior's Delight
This little FULL PC is a traveler's delight especially those that do much of their travel by air. Its size makes it a breeze getting through those long security lines and its ideal for the tray table inflight.
Screen is awesome - pc funtions are fast - keyboard takes a bit of time getting ue to.
Battery time is a bit shorter than expected.
While in dock an external mouse makes chores easier.
So many functions built in - haven't had time to even use the...
