by Sze | Filed under UMPC
A guy, called “anh”, over at mictopctalk.com has modded the Sony VAIO UX490N UMPC into a device that does almost everything. The original Core 2 Solo U220 1.2GHz processor has been replaced by a more powerful Intel Core 2 Duo U7700 1.33GHz processor overclocked to 1.438GHz; a 128GB RunCore Pro IV SSD replaced the original 48GB SSD, and the Intel 3945ABG WiFi card has been swapped for the wireless-N capable Intel 4965AGN card.
The modder also added Huawei’s E169 3G module, which supports 900/2100MHz HSDPA/UMTS 3G and quad-band GSM network for data, voice and text. The modded VAIO UX490N is loaded with four OSes, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, Windows XP Pro and Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.7.
