Sony VAIO UX line upgraded with new CPU, 64 GB SSD option
Recent Intel processor announcements all but guaranteed that this would happen: Sony is giving the UX-series an update in the form of new Core 2 Solo-driven models. Also available for those seeking to save some battery while gaining faster disk access speeds is a 64 GB SSD option. According to Akihabara News the new UX- models are -72, -92 and -92NS. Look for availability next month in Asia although I’d expect that the typical importing options will be available as well. No word on pricing, which I’m curious to see: how much does that 64 GB SSD drive add to the cost?
Given the going prices of SSD I would say between $800-$1000. Currently you can pick up a 32GB SSD from NewEgg for around $477…hmm another upgrade project?
The 32GB SSD models were around $2500, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see it go close to $3000. I love my UX, but for the love of god, Sony would you please put a decent keyboard on the thing?
I dont see how upgrading the chip makes it more usable when its got such a poor keyboard and screen size
