Sony unveils new Micro PC

Sony has just expanded its Micro PC line to include the VGN-UX490N/C. This tiny wonder ain’t cheap though, retailing for $2,499 but it does improve upon the UX390 in many aspects. Improvements include a Core 2 Solo processor, a 48GB SSD flash drive, an extended battery in addition to the standard battery, and a Bluetooth GPS receiver to help you find your way round unfamiliar territory. Other features that stand include a couple of cameras, EDGE support, 1GB RAM, and a 4.5″ touchscreen display. All in all, this is a pretty good deal since a standalone GPS receiver and extended battery will set you back by half a grand, but this new system throws both in and costs just $150 more than the UX390.
