Vaio UX90PS (16GB Flash) Reviewed
The Vaio UX90PS is identical to the UX50 in every respect with the addition of a TV tuner and the replacement of the 30GB HDD for a 16GB flash RAM HDD. Verdict: the TV tuner and software doesn't work outside of Japan, but no big loss since there's only one TV station in Japan anyways. The additional cost for RAM HDD versus a physical HDD is worth it.
At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself if it's really worth spending over $2K on a device with only a 4.5-inch LCD screen, 16GB of flash RAM, 512MB of RAM and a nearly unusable keyboard. For me, it's not worth it – yet. I'll stick with my Nokia E61 smartphone for much of the activities that I'd do on the UMPC and pull out my Macbook Pro as needed.
