    Just before the UX was released, I thought I was sure that the UX will include an integrated optical disc drive, and thought have be 7" screen. It lead me to think that I will cancel my plans to buy a Vaio TX. In the end, the plan remains as it was. Then again, I still drool over the Vaio TX. Here's my vision for the next Micro PC:

    Centrino 1.3 GHz Processor
    4.5" screen (non-sliding) with keyboard
    integrated DL DVD-writer (maybe with Blu-Ray)
    1 GB SDRAM
    80 GB SATA Hard Drive
    1.3 inch thick
    PC Card Slot instead of CF Card Slot
    5-hour battery life
    Bluetooth
    VGA out (no VGA adapters)

    Designwise: to look like the present UX, only deeper to accomodate the ODD.
