Introduction
It’s a habit of large manufacturers that when they release a bit more special product, they brand it with a name that sounds very cool, pack it in a decorative box and sell it at a high price as exclusive stuff. I’m not really fond of such tactics, I find that great difference of price, characteristic of such devices, unjustified. The subject of our current review, the James Bond branded Sony VAIO UX Micro PC is different. Not because it’s not expensive, ‘cause it has a laaaarge price tag. But it is really special.
The device itself is nearly two years old; the manufacturer launched the exclusive pack at the end of 2006 at a price of 3200 USD. Thanks to XXL PC we now had the opportunity of taking a closet look, what turns James Bond on. This is what the base of our review is, we won’t be putting out an article full of benchmark results.
So it’s a James Bond kit. I didn’t expect much before getting the pack in my hands, just a few engraved 007 logos and a package full of Casino Royale pictures. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the metal briefcase you can see on the picture. This is the package, it’s unique, it’s cool, but I think the manufacturer got hold of the suitcase at the Chinese market. The lock on it is of very low quality, no matter if we input the correct 3 digit code (which can be deciphered in max. two hours if going on the trial and error path, and in two minutes if we keep listening to the lock’s sounds), the case opens only after we strike on it hard. When transporting the pack home, I felt the “exclusivity” of it, as the not-so-cheap thing weighs around 10 kgs, so if I would be the super agent, I would surely smack a few bad guys on the face with it.
