The [[Sony]] '''Vaio UX Micro PC''' is an  Ultra-Mobile Portable Computer ([[UMPC]]) first marketed in 2006. It weighs around 490–544 g (1.20–1.27 [[pound (mass)|lb]]), and has a slide-out [[QWERTY]] keyboard, touchscreen, [[Intel Core 2|Intel Core 2 Solo processor]], [[Bluetooth]], [[Wi-Fi]], and [[Wireless Wide Area Network|WWAN]]. Though not officially stated as such, and even to a point implied by Sony that the UX is a move in a new direction and not a specific continuation of such, the Sony UX is speculated by some{{Who|date=April 2011}} to be the newest model in the popular [[Sony U-series]].
