Sony Vaio UX180P

- Hard Drive: The 30 GB Ultra ATA hard drive (4200 RPM) is on the small side when compared to full-size notebooks, but it is understandable in such a small package. Sony’s G-Sensor shock protection offers an advantage over traditional hard drives by safeguarding the notebook’s internal mechanisms to protect against impact and help prevent a loss of data.
- Processor: The Ultra Low Voltage Intel Core Solo U1400 processor is new to Intel as of June, 2006, and it offers a 1.2 GHz speed paired with a fast 533 MHz front-side bus and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The Core Solo processor delivers enhanced performance for today’s demanding applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming. And Intel’s Smart Cache technology enables smarter, more efficient cache and bus design for enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings.
- Memory: It’s loaded with 512 MB of 400 MHz, PC-3200 DDR2 RAM. On the downside, that’s the maximum that the UX180P will accept, so you won’t be able to upgrade.
- D/DVD Drive: The UX180P does not come with an integrated optical drive, but Sony offers an optional, external multi-format DVD burner (VGP-DDRW4).
- Keyboard & Mouse: The hidden keyboard has 64 keys with a 0.15mm stroke and 8.6mm pitch.

It comes with the standard VGP-BPS6 standard capacity lithium ion battery, which provides between 2.5 and 4.5 hours of power (depending on usage). The optional large capacity VGP-BPL6 battery can power the UX180P for up to 9 hours.
