First Take

By Darius Chang


The first generation of UMPCs were more technological showcases than consumer-ready products. High prices and poor battery life simply did not justify replacing a full-sized ultraportable with a pint-sized device, regardless of the fact that the latter could run a full-fledged operating system. This changed when the Kohjisha SA1F00 was introduced at a very attractive price point of just over S$1,000 (US$669.21) with 5-hour battery life to boot. ...

Excellent portable!



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Compact, Lots of Features
Cons: Vista, No Firewire
Opinion:
I just bought this in Hong Kong a week ago. I was very impressed the moment I saw it in the store. It had exactly what I was looking for in a portable computer. It was small, light, and it ran Windows. Whatever software I had on my desktop, I could run on this, as well. The U1010 is nicely equipped. It has an SD/CF reader, USB2.0, headphone/mic, wireless/lan, and a vga adapter. It's missing an IEEE1394 port, and this version doesn't have 3G (the current U1010 does).

Vista is a horrible OS for this unit. Even when I switched to the Windows Classic theme, and disabled most of the services and startup items, it still performed sluggishly. I now have Windows XP Tablet Edition, and the U1010 now performs beautifully. Windows takes less than 3 minutes to boot to the desktop versus the ~10 min crawl for Vista. With XP, video and audio play smoothly without any ... Read more

 

Picked up U1010 in HK and disappointed with performance



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: great feature set, reasonably priced for feature set and form factor
Cons: Performance, battery life, start up time and fan noise
Opinion:
Perhaps I was being unreasonable, but I had high expectations for this generation of UMPCs. The device's feature set is great and it operates as advertised. I held high hopes that this would be the device to consolidate my many gadgets. Unfortunately the performance of the device leaves much to be desired. Start up time from a cold boot or hibernation is extremely slow. Performance while multi tasking is sluggish and you find yourself staring at the Windows Vista rotation "wait" circle much of the time. I was especially frustrated by the device's inability to consistently stream video over WiFi. The video freezes often and there are sync issues between audio and video streams. My Archos 604Wifi is able to accomplish a steady video stream and video/audio sync.

The battery life is about 3 hours. I haven't been able to find any shops that stock the extended life battery, but ... Read more
