The only media center PC we knew of that could pass itself off as a limpet mine or hat box, Sony’s TP3 is anything but a beige slab. Though virtually button-free, it’s easy to set up; simply attach it to the highest-def TV you can find and you’re off. Despite its size and shape, the TP3 packs in the features; Blu-ray, HDMI, twin-tv tuners and, of course, Wi-Fi to name but a few. The only disappointment is the now so relatively claustrophobic 500 GB hard disk.

So I was just checking out some specifications of my soon to be new laptop on Sony’s website and I came across something small and powerful. Look at this device; it’s the size of a sidekick. The display that you see in the picture is only a 4.5 inches wide but equipped with XBRITE LCD technology and is in 1024×600 resolution. It’s called a Sony VAIO UX Micro PC, and as the name suggests, it is an actual PC. Just like any other PC it has a processor, it has an Intel Core Solo Ultra Low Voltage CPU. It comes with Microsoft Windows XP installed. This PC defeats any portability advantage any other computer might have. It is a size of a calculator for God’s sake. The following are some of its modest specifications: 512 MB RAM, built-in speakers, Ethernet card, two cameras, Biometric fingerprint sensor (yes we are not playing), USB port, DVD writer, wireless card, magic gate port, and it comes with 1 year Sony warranty.
