Modifications
Despite the Intel Core Solo U1x00 CPU, the Sony Vaio UX does not run completely smoothly with Windows Vista. The firmly soldered CPU can be exchanged for an Intel Core 2 Duo U7700 CPU by specialized workshops. The twice as high thermal design performance is offset by the better power management of the U7700.
