One big problem for me; the drive bay has a big front, i.e. cannot fit into stealthed bays.

That's gonna make it impossible for my computer - I was waiting for a Sony BD burner!

I'll be getting one, just going to the US to pick it up instead of importing because it's cheaper! The dynamism cost to import to the UK after VAT and shipping is about $1000 than the shop price, and for that I can go to the US and have a holiday as well!

OMG I'm ordering now :) :) :) :) (I wish!)

ShMeE

I want one!

Except it is presumably going to weigh a ton having a hewawge 17.8" screen, and the border around that as well.

Wow....

I really wanted a U... what seems like a very very very long time ago but could never justify buying it because it just wasn't quite useful enough... But I only have a laptop (a TX) for using at hot spots and on the go, not for proper work. I'm guessing any mobile internet features on it aren't going to work in Europe and probably going to mean it's never going to be released but I'm going stateside in August, so hopefully it's out by then!

Another thing I've been trying to work out is what on earth the stick thing behind the finger print reader is? Is that an aerial because it's up in all of the pictures and that would just be annoying!

Please Sony a UX1 UMPC!

With some semi-decent spec like at least a centrino.

ShMeE

How on earth can I dog smell a DVD???

ShMeE

I'll have one.

If you want a high spec computer, you'll get one!

If ur making a budget computer... then don't get one!!!

ShMeE

I may have missed it but in the post it says "dual DVD burners", are both drives writers as well as readers?

I think that the point is that it's a little bit more portable than a whole computer if needs be, and as mentioned above, you pay for size.
