Sony VAIO UX Series VGN-UX490N/C Premium Micro PC (UMPC) with Intro Kit
- No Longer Available
The VAIO UX Series VGN-UX490N/C Premium Micro PC from Sony is a tiny, ultra-portable computer designed for the mobile professional. This exclusive B&H kit adds an extended warranty, leather carrying case, spare styli, and an extended battery to the UMPC.
The computer features a widescreen, touchscreen LCD that can be viewed in either landscape or portrait mode. The computer can rest in the palm of your hand, allowing you to use the included stylus to input information via the touchscreen interface, or you can slide the screen up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard that allows you to hold the PC in both hands as you type.
Wireless connectivity is a must with a truly mobile PC. The VAIO UX features 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi to connect to all standard wireless networks and hotspots. Bluetooth support is also integrated into the device, allowing you to interface with your wireless Bluetooth devices. Users of the AT&T Wireless EDGE Network will also appreciate the integrated support for that service.
The VAIO comes with software such as Microsoft Streets & Trips and Microsoft Works for productivity. Also included is a biometric fingerprint reader and corresponding software to store your passwords. This allows you to enter a password simply by placing your finger on the reader.
The system is powered by a 1.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Solo U2200 CPU and boasts 1 GB of RAM, a 48 GB NAND hard drive, wireless Ethernet, Bluetooth, and an 4.5" Widescreen/Touchscreen display powered by Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics. Windows Vista Business is the platform that ties all this hardware and software together, providing a great ultra-portable computer for the mobile professional. And it's backed by the Sony name.
- Intro Kit
- The UMPC comes bundled with a leather carrying case, two extra styli, an extended-life battery, and a 3-Year International Warranty from Mack.

- Intel Core 2 Solo Processor U2200 CPU

The computer weighs less than 1.5 pounds, letting you easily take it with you wherever you go. The computer features a flash-memory based NAND hard drive. This storage device is similar to a digital camera memory card; it has no moving parts, allowing it to use much less energy than a traditional hard disk without any sacrifice in performance.
- Widescreen and Touchscreen Display
- The UMPC has a 4.5" widescreen display that features a 1024 x 600 resolution that lets you work with comfort. The display can operate in landscape or portrait mode, adapting to your preferences. A stylus is included to allow you to take advantage of the touchscreen capability.
- Integrated Digital Cameras and Microphone
- The VAIO UX features two integrated digital cameras. The front camera, which features a 0.3 MP resolution, is perfect for video conferencing when used in conjunction with the integrated microphone. The back camera features a 1.3 MP resolution and can be used to take snapshots.
- GPS Receiver

- You'll be able to connect to wireless hotspots and networks using the integrated 802.11a/b/g technology. Additionally, an AT&T SIM card is included, allowing you to use the computer on the AT&T Wireless National EDGE network. A paid subscription to this network is required to obtain this functionality.
- Port Replicator
- The included port replicator lets you "dock" your VAIO UX and use it as normal computer. The port replicator features USB, FireWire, Ethernet, VGA and A/V outputs, allowing you to easily convert your ultra portable Micro PC into a fully-functional desktop computer.
- Virus Protection
- The included Norton 360 All-In-One Security software comes with a 60-day subscription to help you protect your computer from malicious software such as viruses and spyware. This helps to protect your computer when you are browsing the web or reading e-mail.
