vaio ux was the peak of portable computing. it sucks none of the major brands make them anymore especially sony they made so many cool compact computers
It's a toy computer in a screen resolution and form factor that doesn't make it particularly useful for anything.
These things always sucked, the hardware just wasn't there yet.
I liked the HP 200LX, sure the screen was lower-rez and black and white and wasn't backlit, but it ran for WEEKS on standard AA batteries.

>>109606003>looks cool is it a pda?Kinda, but the real neat thing is that it's a full IBM compatible PC.
>>109605659it was a fragile larputer with an unusable keyboard, umpc's died out because they suck ass compared to a laptop or a tablet or a phone
>>109605659Phones and tablets cover every usecase of portable shit.You couldn't even find a gif of someone actually using what you think you want.
>>109605844It's a great alternative to being a phonefag. Desktop os, proper keyboard, no spyware bullshit, still small enough to walk around with. It's a great little remote desktop machine or music player.
>>109605659literally a glorified oversized dumbphone from 2008
>>109606486dust that shit nigga
>>109607456Believe it or not, portable devices often get used outside.
>>109607531Soon
>>109606062Pretty sure the prices are what killed umpcs.
>>109606486Clockwork is so slow shipping their stuff.
>>109608395>TV show>All they can think about is *MOAR SCREEN*>No keyboard, no overlapping windows, just wider screenI fucking hate people.
I got one of those vaios but the screen just shows pixel noise now. I guess I need to open it up and fix a ribbon cable?
I got a gpd pocket 4 it's basically a very portable normal laptop however I've been able to work for the sake of Mr Goldbergs shekels more efficiently while commuting and the hx 370 is nothing to scoff at in terms of performance 8/10 once the mini PC 3 gets the same in terms of battery life and performance umpcs will make sense as umpcsBtw kill all maid faggots
>>109608731Why is it only Asian companies that make UMPCs now? Why did the US give up on them after the 90s?
>>109608737They can afford to pay slaves for pennys to shave off on production cost for what is literally the most niche market outside of porn fetishes
