Sony Vaio UX1XN - 500 pounds cheaper

Compuman

Blind Ambition I would rather visit other review sites and forums before I make my final decision as these items are not bought on a daily basis

Personally I do not mind paying a bit more when I am assured that I will have proper service by sales while with customer servicesin case I have a problem

I'm guessing these are coming down in price as the HTC Shift is due to start shipping within the next fortnight. Sony want to ship as many as possible before the Shift is avaliable, as once people see the shift, they'll never buy the sony ux!!

They actually are two different animals mate, as this is an ultraportable laptop and HTC are more into smart phones and pocket PCs, besides I was under the impression discontinued making this model and that is why some resellers are able to offer such price discounts as in most cases they have been offered exclusive rights to its resale. The fact that Sony style still insists on selling it at twice the price as some other resellers is a fact that never fails to make me roll my eyes.

laptopsdirect seem to have a high reputation. the 2% discount via quidco makes them a few pounds cheaper

i have tried laptopsdirect + pc world but there is not a big difference in price the thing am looking for is better aftersales service and keep in mind price do matter. Thanks for your reply Alan

STRANGE, how this thread is being kept alive by folks with very low post counts, you can almost taste the processed meat

Amalea, well for starters The Sony UX1XN is quite possibly one of the smallest laptops ever. it's barely bigger than a thick-ish paperback book, yet it packs a full Vista-touting PC inside its diddy dimension.
The Intel Core Solo U1500 processor, running at 1.33GHz, is nothing special and 1GB of DDR 2 memory is fairly standard. Where Sony has pulled out the stops, however, is with the hard drive. At first glance 32GB seems a bit measly, but this isn't any old 32GB model - it's a Flash drive. This has two advantages: it's faster than a standard drive and it's also more durable since there are no moving parts. While you should still treat UX1 carefully, it's going to be more resilient to the odd bump or two than a device with a traditional spinning hard drive.

Fair enough then. I jumped to conclusions a bit before reading fully-mainly cos I don't like Sony!
