: The new VAIO Type U

Sony keeps surprising us... They still did not deliver last month's UX90, and here they are with another model. This one does not have a HDD and will be released at the beginning of July. The HDd will be replaced by 16GB of flash memory. Thanks to this system, the VAIO U will be faster according to the manufacturer. An application that requires 62 seconds on a UX90 will require between 17 and 5.6 seconds on this new model. RAM quantities remain unchanged at 512MB though. Next up a model with a hybrid HDD?
