Product DescriptionFeaturing cutting-edge flash memory, the black Sony
VAIO VGN-UX490N/C Micro PC is an ultra-portable, full-functioning PC
small enough to fit in your pocket. Taking the PC to the next level,
the UX490N/C stores data on 48 MB of solid state flash memory, instead
of a traditional spinning disc drive. Weighing just over a pound and
measuring 5.9 by 3.75 inches, it easily fits in the palm of your hand.
The UX490N/C features a 4.5-inch widescreen SVGA screen that
ingeniously slides up to expose an integrated keyboard. The pocket-
sized UX490N/C comes equipped with a stylus and Sony's VAIO touch
launcher for quick access to functions frequently used such as
Internet access, e-mail, various computer applications, games and
music. Just push the launcher button located on the side of the unit.
It's powered by Windows Vista Business and Intel's newest Core 2 Solo
U2200 processor with ultra-low voltage for extended battery life.
Advanced wireless capabilities are built right in--including tri-mode
Wi-Fi, WWAN, WLAN, and Bluetooth--and expansion is a breeze with the
included port replicator. It even includes two built-in cameras--one
on the front (0.3 megapixels) for VoIP tele/videoconferencing and the
other (1.3 megapixels) on the back for taking snapshots. Other
technical features include a 1 GB of RAM, a Memory Stick slot, and a
full complement of pre-installed software (from Internet security to
Microsoft Works). For added convenience, a docking station with three
2.0 USB ports, Ethernet, VGA, iLink (FireWire/IEEE-1394) interface and
an AV output comes with the unit, making it easy to connect to
peripherals like a full-sized keyboard, display and speakers when back
in the office or at home.
Advanced Wireless Mobility
The UX490N/C features Sony's SmartWi technology, which seamlessly
integrates wireless Wide Area Network (WAN), 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN
and Bluetooth technologies, enabling you to toggle among your wireless
connectivity options depending on your surroundings. The tri-mode
wireless LAN is compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in
home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which
has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed
office environments). The integrated wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
technology lets you access the AT&T Wireless EDGE network to extend
your wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots (an
AT&T SIM card is included; see more about WWANs below). And with the
Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can synchronize and transfer
files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs.
Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
If you're the ultimate road warrior, you need to access the Internet
and check e-mail without having to plug in your Sony Vaio notebook PC,
and without cables to boot. Welcome to the world of WWANs (wireless
wide area networks). With WWANs, you can access critical network
resources and home office files from the front seat of your car, the
airport, the local coffee shop, or your recliner at home. Sony Vaio
computers use SmartWi technology to access the AT&T Wireless national
EDGE (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) network.
A WWAN uses long-range wireless connections -- the same networks as
cellular phones -- to provide access across a large geographic area.
In comparison, a WLAN (wireless LAN) covers only one or more buildings
located close together. The use of wireless connectivity on a WLAN is
simply an alternative to the PSTN (public switched telephone network),
which you may have used -- or still use -- to dial into your ISP
(Internet service provider) or reach your company's network. On a
WWAN, however, you use wireless connectivity to reach your carrier's
data network instead of plugging into a phone jack and dialing into
your ISP. Each mobile device communicates with the public carrier's
base station, providing coverage across entire states, regions, and
countries via cell phone towers.
Security & Safety Features
Sony's line of Vaio UX micro-PCs take security seriously, employing a
biometric fingerprint sensor and proprietary hard disk drive
protection software to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized
use as well as accidental damage. Fingerprint biometrics is a
convenient and secure way to protect your computer and the information
on it with a simple swipe of your finger. It also stores passwords to
secure web sites you visit, so authentication and access are quick and
easy--you only need your fingerprint.
The Basics
* Processor: Offering the latest in ultra-low voltage processing
power, the single-core Intel Core 2 Solo U2200 processor has a has a
power consumption rating of just 5 watts and a 1.2 GHz speed that's
paired with a fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An
L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache
can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data
between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver
better overall performance.) The Core 2 Solo processor delivers
enhanced performance for today's demanding applications such as CAD
tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital
photography and gaming. And Intel's Smart Cache technology enables
smarter, more efficient cache and bus design for enhanced performance,
responsiveness and power savings.
* Hard Drive: The 48 GB of flash memory (NAND) storage is on the
small side when compared to traditional notebooks, but it is
understandable in such a small package. Faster and more reliable,
flash memory provides a rapid boot-up and quicker access to
applications while improving battery life. Flash memory is also more
reliable than hard disk memory, mainly because there are no moving
parts. Since data is written to stationary flash memory instead of a
spinning hard disk, you have less risk of hardware problems with the
hard disk when you're on the move.
* Memory: It's loaded with 1 GB of 400 MHz, PC-3200 DDR2 RAM. On
the downside, that's the maximum that the UX490N/C will accept, so you
won't be able to upgrade.
* CD/DVD Drive: This Micro PC does not come with an integrated
optical drive, but Sony offers an optional, external multi-format DVD
burner (VGP-DDRW4).
* Keyboard & Mouse: The hidden keyboard has 64 keys with a 0.15mm
stroke and 8.6mm pitch.
Screen, Video & Audio
The UX490N/C's wide, touchscreen 4.5-inch XBRITE LCD has a 1024 x 600-
pixel resolution (SVGA) and includes control buttons for zooming,
scrolling, and a stick pointer, as well as the ability to view in
either landscape or portrait orientations. The high brightness level
of an XBRITE display means that black tones appear richer and deeper
while white tones remain brighter. Graphics and text display clearly
and colors appear more lifelike. This Micro PC includes a built-in
monaural speaker and is compatible with the Windows sound system.
Video and graphics are powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator
950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and
provides up to 251 MB of shared video memory.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
The UX490N/C has a single USB 2.0 port, headphone and microphone
jacks, Memory Stick slot (compatible with Memory Stick DUO and
MagicGate functionality), and a port replicator connection. The
included port replicator offers three USB 2.0, one 4-pinFireWire, VGA
out, composite A/V out, and Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX)
connections.
Operating System
The Windows Vista Business operating system is designed to meet the
needs of business organizations of all sizes. For small businesses,
Windows Vista Business will help keep PCs running smoothly and more
securely so you will be less reliant on dedicated IT support. For
larger organizations, Windows Vista Business provides dramatic new
infrastructure improvements, enabling your IT staff to spend less time
focused on the day-to-day maintenance of PCs. An array of
sophisticated new backup technologies helps protect your information
even in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure. And Windows
Vista Business has a new user interface, named Windows Aero, which is
designed to deliver new levels of efficiency for any business user.
This new interface makes it easy to navigate through the operating
system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero
helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-
dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications
and documents.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and
technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the
Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail.
All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of
impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important
personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental
control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's
use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.
