Very good

7.5

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.5 out of 10
Reviewed by Dan Ackerman
Review date: 2/8/07
Release date: 2/5/07

The good: Improved battery life; solid-state hard drive; multiple interface options.

The bad: Nontactile keyboard; some navigation keys are hard to use; expensive.

The bottom line: The pocket-size Sony VAIO UX390 makes solid improvements over the first generation of UMPCs, but its target audience is unclear.
