| Sony introduces a new level of WOW! The Vaio PCG-U3 is palm-top ultra small subnotebook. Powered by a TM5800 Crusoe processor running at 933MHz this little unit has power to spare. With up to four hours of battery life, it measures less than 185mm ( 7.3 inches) wide. The XGA screen on this little guy is 6.4" in size and supports a resolution of 1024×768 pixels. The ultra subnotebook weighs just 820 grams. Is that small or what? Equipped with 256MB of SDRAM, and expandable to 512MB, the PCG-U3 also comes with a 20GB ATA100 harddrive. All other media drives are external, connecting via USB, or port replicators, except for a Sony memory stick port. With Windows XP home edition loaded on to the small 20GB hard drive, and room for proprietory Sony Memory sticks on the side, the PCG-U3 features an RJ45 network adaptor, twin USB ports, and Firewire jack for large data transfers. One Type II PCMCIA port is integrated with in the ultra sub notebook, and larger batteries can be clipped on to the bottom to boost the 4 hour lifespan to 7-12 hours. Almost impossible to believe so much is packed in this little unit. Perfect for the traveler that wants the ultimate in functionality and small size!!
