Sony was making teeny weeny laptops long before Asus found it had a surplus of vowels in the storeroom at the back. As titchy as its Vaio UX is, though, it does have an annoying design flaw - the oversize plug prevents it sitting straight when it’s running on mains power. Unless, that is, you’ve got a low profile adapter.
Hand fashioned by a Vaio UX fan Shane and available to buy for a low, low price of just $25 it’ll straighten out your lopsided UMPC in no time at all.
Just couple the slim plug up to the UX and then hook up the original power supply to the other end and hey presto - a UMPC that you can use while it’s charging. If only Sony had thought this all through to start with.
