VAIO

VAIO UX is the perfect PC for people on the go. The secret behind its speed and mobility is its built-in flash memory. Since accessing data on flash memory is much quicker than hard disk, your applications will run faster. Lighter weight makes it easier to carry. And lower power consumption means you'll be able to use it longer. No matter where you are, count on VAIO UX to get it done in a flash.

Unlike a hard disk drive, the built-in 32 GB flash memory has no moving parts so access to data is instantaneous. Booting up the computer now takes only 43 seconds* compared to 63 seconds* for hard disk. Launching applications and file searches are also handled much faster* than hard disk. This added speed and stability may make the crucial difference when you're on the road, since websites and other important information can be accessed much quicker* in a mobile environment.


*	Actual access speed will differ depending on the application and usage conditions.


Notes: Startup times and other variables differ according to usage conditions.

This model is equipped with a flash memory, making the PC itself the world's lightest* at only approximately 486 g**. That's a 34 g reduction compared to the hard disk drive equipped model, which shares the title of world's smallest*. Count on space-saving carrying and fatigue-free usage even when you're nowhere near a desk.


*	For PC with Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology and Windows Vista™ as of April 2007.
**	Including the supplied battery.

No hard disk means no motor to rotate the disk and no magnetic head to read data from the disk. This translates into a dramatic reduction in power consumption, thus providing approx. 40 more minutes* or 13% longer operation* per charge. Enjoy about 3.5 hours* of operation using the standard battery pack, or up to 7.5 hours* with the optionally available VGP-BPL6.


*	Maximum figures based on laboratory conditions. May be less depending on the actual usage conditions.

Since there is no disk and no head, there is absolutely no possibility of a head crash even if the PC is bumped or dropped. In fact, you'll never have to worry about any problems that are unique to hard disk drives such as the motor, disk or head. Even when the going gets rough, the diskless VAIO UX is ready to get going.

If you ever find yourself short on storage space, don't worry. This VAIO UX model has a slot for MemoryStick PRO Duo so you can have extra storage capacity and easy data transfer using commonly available MemoryStick media. Naturally, you can also connect an external optical disc drive to the USB port and burn data CDs and DVDs for an archive that can keep on growing with you.
