Vgn ux50 windows8

The differences between the different models are as follows… The UX50 has a 1. Our friends at Dynamism were kind enough to let us borrow a UX50 for a brief period to review. When I say brief, I really mean brief. I received the package around 6pm on a Thursday evening and had to ship it back the following Monday. As you can imagine, this review will not be our standard 2 week usage review. It will be more of a first impressions type of article. My first impressions of this device were that the pictures that I had seen on the web, did not accurately convey just how thick and heavy this little guy was.

The UX50 is designed so that you can hold it between your hands while you use it. The back side has hand grips similar to those of the Sony Play Station Portable handheld gaming system. One of the grips actually houses the rechargeable battery pack. Anyone else thinking of the OQO? It appears that Sony borrowed that design for this feature. Sliding the display upwards will bring the computer out of standby. It will also allow you access to one of the built-in cameras.

A k pixel camera is located on the face in the top middle of the display frame. The other camera is 1. You can see it in the top left corner of the picture above. Click thumbnails to see unaltered snaps.

The digital picture quality of this device leaves a lot to be desired though. The 1. Because the viewfinder is the computer display, and it totally blacks out in direct sun. The stylus silo is also located on the back of the device. It is built into the top right corner of the battery compartment grip. The stylus is your typical telescoping PDA style stylus. Nothing fancy. Along the top edge of the UX50 is a set of heat dissipation slots, a Memory Stick Duo slot and a camera capture button.

The shiny black tubular looking appendage running along the bottom edge is the WiFi antenna. On the opposite end, you will find the AC adapter port, docking connector, earphone jack and microphone jack, along with more heat dissipation slots. The bottom edge of the display has several status LEDs that show battery charging status, hard drive access, Bluetooth and WiFi radio status.

The left side of the UX50 has a Compact Flash memory slot. Instead, it will have a Cingular Edge wireless modem built into it. There is also a full sized USB port located on this side of the device.

On either side of the display there are several thumb accessible buttons. Slide this spring loaded switch upwards to power on the device or put it in standby mode if it is already powered on. Slide it down to put it in hold mode. When powered on, the status LED will glow Green, and while in standby mode, it will slowly flash Amber. Above the Power switch are the zoom buttons.

These change the magnification of the display. At the very top is the thumb mouse stick. This is a hard rubber pad with a rough surface.

This surface allows you to easy move the onscreen cursor around the screen without your thumb slipping off. An easier way to select and launch applications is to use the two buttons located on the other side of the display. The top button reacts like a left mouse button, and the button directly below it acts like the right mouse button. Using these buttons with the mouse stick makes navigating screens, web-pages, etc. But the keys are quite small and almost completely flush with the case.

This makes it very difficult to thumb type without looking at the keys to make sure your thumbs are pressing the correct letters. The keyboard has 64 keys with a 0. The keys do have good tactile feedback and are backlit in blue.

When connected, the UX50 is at a perfect viewing angle and using the built in USB ports there are 3 on the port replicator, and 1 on the UX50 , you can connect a keyboard and mouse for added working comfort. It is also possible to use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with this computer.

There is an iLink connector aka FireWire , video out and Ethernet ports on the back of the replicator. With this setup, you can use the UX50 like a regular desktop computer and then when you want to go on the road, you can just unplug the computer and go. Leaving all the cables connected and undisturbed. For added convenience, a smaller video out, Ethernet jack dongle is also included. Bring this with you when you travel. The scanner is located in the top left corner of the display.

It look me quite a while to figure out how to activate it. I finally realized that there was an application icon in the task tray that controlled it.

First you have to password protect your user ID with a regular text password. Then the software will guide you through the process of swiping and enrolling your fingerprints as passwords. Following the steps is a simple procedure. I had no problems recording my fingerprints or completing the enrollment process. I actually just scanned my 2 index fingers and that was all.

Instead of typing a password, you can just swipe your finger. Mainly the screen is brighter, not so horribly spongy, and is accurately calibrated for touch screen usage. Again, in hand, this device feels heavy and thick. But at 1. So you have to take the good with the bad. Battery life for this little guy is supposed to approach 4.
