Best UMPC for the price

Jun 1, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Bigger screen and performance than the 701
Cons: Hard drive could be larger, quality of material looks cheap
Opinion:
For the price, this is a better choice than the HP mini note 2133 since the Celeron M is more responsive than the VIA. After uninstalling a few programs i.e. works etc. it is perfect for checking email or web surfing on the go. I connect to the internet through my N95 with US 3G via bluetooth (bluetooth dongle connected to my 900) and I get broadband speed anywhere with no cable. It's quick enough to handle MS Office 2003 especially for powerpoint presentations, just plug in a USB flash drive and thanks for having 3 USB ports you have plenty of connectivity options. The battery usually last me 2.5 hours and that is plenty for me. With the built in webcam and mic, it's easy move around the house while using YM or AOL on making calls overseas. Speakers are ok but not as loud as my 701. All in all it's a great UMPC and it does what I need it to do.
