You know it has to be a good deal since I just finished ordering one.

To give you and idea of what the charm of this Ultra Mobile PC is, here how the popular Engadget blog describes it:

” the new Vaio UX Micro PC, which seems more akin to an OQO device than a UMPC. For starters, this unit obviously has a hardware keyboard, which doesn’t seem that bad of decision given the difficulty of using current-gen UMPC keyboards. The UX is also powered by a full on Core Solo processor (don’t ask us how they got it in there), and runs Windows XP Professional. vgn-ux280p.jpgAs rumored, the device also includes Bluetooth, WiFi, WWAN (Cingular EDGE network connectivity) and a fingerprint reader. Along with the front camera for video conferencing, there is a camera in the rear for snapping pics, and the UX also can plug into a VGA adapter for powering an external monitor. The 4.5-inch screen is capable of a 800 x 600 resolution and accepts stylus input.”

Because the screen is WSVGA, you can take the resolution up a notch to a non-standard but useful 1024x600 resolution. It also amazingly has a 64-key QWERTY keyboard. plus two built in cameras, bluetooth, wireless lan, wan, Intel 945GMS Chipset with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, the list goes on …

    New Advanced Technology: HP Notebook ze2000z -- AMD Turion 64 512 MB RAM Integrated Wireless 15" LCD $719.00

    hp value wireless wizard

    For today’s deal of the day, I have my eye on this new HP Notebook ze2000z. This portable beauty features a AMD Turion 64 ML-28 Processor — the latest and greatest mobile version of the 64 byte Athlon processor AMD. HP calls their new notebook line Value Mobility and with good reason. The notebook I have in mind for you today costs only $719 when you visit HP from this link!

    With the launch of this new notebook, HP has taken on Dell head on— and finally bested them. Not only is this notebook hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything remotely equivalent from Dell -- but it also has advanced technology which Dell simply does not have.

    The Pavilion ze2000z has an integrated 54g 802.11b/g WLAN modem with 125HSM/SpeedBooster and BroadRange support, which lets you place it up to 50% further from the router/access point when connected to a wireless network. And it’s easy to go wireless: the ze2000z weighs only about 6.58 lb., and it’s as thin as 1.29”.

    when you get to the HP Shopping page through our special Save over $350 Instantly on select Customizable HP Notebook PCs ($100 - $300 Instant Rebates + Free Shipping + Upgrades) link you need to:

    1. Select HP Pavilion notebook PCs
    1. Select the ze2000z series
    1. Select Customize it
    1. Upgrade the processor to a AMD Sempron(TM) 3000+ (1.8GHz/128KB L2 Cache)
    1. Keep the box checked on 15.0” TFT XGA (1024x768); ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M
    1. Upgrade the memory to 512MB DDR SDRAM (2x256MB) — the minimum amount in my estimation that keeps Windows from crashing
    1. Keep the 40 MB Hard Drive and the 8X DVD checked
    1. Check the 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)
    There you have it. Final price is $719 and shipping is free!

    New: Sony Notebook T340P/L Features Wide Area Network Through Cingular Edge Network -- Access the Net from the Beach or Bay!

    Todya’s deal is this new Sony Notebook that hooks through a WAN card into Cingular Wireless’s new Edge Network. The model we are featuring is $ 2,049.99.

    Sony VAIO® T340P/L Notebook - VGN-T340P/L

    Sony VAIO

     Notebook

    VGN-T340P/L

    The VAIO® T340P/L notebook is ultra-portable, weighing less than 3.1 lbs. With integrated wireless Wide Area Network (WAN) technology, you can access the Cingular Wireless National EDGE Network to extend your wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots. An enhanced battery life and integrated 802.11 b/g wireless LAN means you have ample options to stay connected just about anywhere. *Visit www.sonystyle.com/cingular for further details on WAN technology and subscription details.



    Wireless Wide Area Network availability occupies the center of the Sony T340 experience. The new laptop from Sony will be able to access Cingular’s National EDGE network, without a cable.

    An Intel Pentium M with Centrino 1.20 GHz processor with a 2 MB L2 cache delivers the computing power. And the optical drive supports CD and DVD read/write functions.

    But it’s the EDGE capabilities that set the T350 apart from a typical wireless 802.11b/g experience. SmartWi™ technology seamlessly integrates wireless WAN - along with wireless LAN and Bluetooth technologies - into the new T Series VAIO notebooks to create a wireless experience you can’t get anywhere else. With wireless WAN and a Cingular Wireless Data Connect plan, you can access Cingular’s national EDGE network to extend your wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots. Stay online from places you’d never imagine - from the beach, in the car, or cruising the bay. (Click on the image below to learn more about this new technlogy.)
