The UX1XN is certainly a highly desirable thing. Getting Vista to run in an acceptable fashion on a device this small is a feat in itself, but its impressive, notebook-like specification and decent battery life, coupled with very compact dimensions and light weight make it a much less intrusive companion than most full-blown laptops.
It can also comfortably be used as a desktop machine hooked up to a keyboard mouse and monitor via the cradle. But it isn't perfect: further thought needs to go into the resolution of the screen and how to manage those tall dialog boxes, the keyboard needs a complete redesign before it becomes anywhere near usable and the solid state disk is just a bit too small.
At such a high price the UX1XN isn't intended to appeal to appeal to the mass market. But even as an executive toy and a technological showcase for solid state disk technology I can't help but be a touch disappointed.Read full review
