Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues visiting my site.
I’ve checked the drivers page, but on my side, it seems to look fine.

Can you check again, and if you still see layout issues, indicate which browser / operating system you’re using?

Greetings,
Arjan – VAIO UX Plaza

In reply to Jacques. It is! Msata to ZIF adapter is what you want. Easy enough to install :)

The Vaio UX, believe it or not, can run Doom 3! Granted all set to low settings, but I was blown away.
The biggest hurdle to a UX in 2026 is finding working batteries 🙁

I’m not fully sure. The original hard disk is very small – it was a 1.8″ PATA HDD, similar to those used in older iPods.

If you install a PATA-mSATA adapter, available space will be even less. So any mSATA-ssd has to be really small in order to properly fit inside the computer.

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade the disk….like with a PATA-mSATA adapter?
Thanks, Jacques

These characteristics make the VAIO UX a key competitor for true ultramobile PCs, such as the Samsung Q1. And with its intuitive user interface and actual built-in keyboard most UMPCs are slate tablets that require you to type on an onscreen keyboard or plug in a USB keyboard , the VAIO UX is the most practical of these new small tablets that we’ve seen to date.
