FS: Sony Vaio UX50 large capacity battery, new in box

2006-12-26T19:55:56-08:00

For sale a large capacity battery for the UX series subnotebooks. I bought this from Japan but by the time it arrived I’d sold my UX50 :(

I think it’ll fit any of the UX’s whether USA or Japan or Australia.

They sell for $500+ but i’m only looking for maybe $300AU.

[Review/Pictorial]: VAIOÃ‚Â® BluetoothÃ‚Â® GPS Receiver VGP-BGU1

2006-11-13T13:02:58-08:00

Hey guys,
It seems like it has been a while since I posted a review or pictorial, so I thought I would throw in one. I thought I would post it in U Gear as this product is advertised with UX series. And of course it will work with any other VAIO or non-Sony Bluetooth equipped notebooks. I guess since UX is so tiny, GPS unit would be a great addition to it.
I jumped into GPS world a little bit late as I thought Mapquest is all I need for my directions, but I realized that it is not available to me all the time (especially when I am offline) and if I need to get to a place in the unknown area or I am simply lost - GPS is the way to go. And believe me I love it now!
Anyways, I thought I would give it a go with a VAIO GPS unit recently released in the US. I paired it via Bluetooth with my trusty TR5AP and it worked flawlessly.
All you get is the unit itself, AC adapter, a Belt Strap and the manual of course. No software is provided and Sony recommends using Microsoft’s Streets and Maps software that comes bundled with UX series. I picked up the latest 2007 version of that app from a local BestBuy and paired it up with the unit.
The bottom of the unit as you will see in the pics below has a rubbery surface and it stays put in your car dashboard. Little LED lights let you know about the status of the unit. I was very amazed by the battery life of the GPS unit, as I thought the Bluetooth function would drain it quickly. I cannot tell you the total battery life cycle as I used it for 3 hours straight and than left it on in the car for a long period of time, and I still did not have to charge it. It should last up to 10 hours per Sony.
I found the MS app pretty good for starters but I wish it was more simplified. The night mode is pretty cool too as I can dim the LCD of the notebook to the lowest level and get more juice out of it and still see and hear the directions. I know Sony also has some GPS units for sale specifically for cars, but I do not find them appealing in design at all. The Japanese GPS units made by Sony are so much better and slicker.
Anyways, enjoy the pics and post questions if you have any.

SONY VAIO U MEMORY

2006-05-05T08:44:13-08:00

HI. whats the max memory that can be installed on the sony vaio U8G and what is the type of memory does it take and where can i get it…. Any replies would be appreciated. thanks.

Hi would all of the U equipment fit in the 2 cases?

2006-04-21T05:41:53-08:00

Hi would all of the U equipment fit in the 2 cases it comes with for the U750P or U71(same thing just 30G)? I need to know before I make my descision because If its more then 2 cases i may reconsider and this includes the dock, power cord, U itself, and the keyboard. And if it fits those is there enough room to throw in the VGA dongle or a mouse? Thanks!
