Excellent portable!

Nov 23, 2007

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

Jul 24, 2007

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

 

Sold Out Everywhere....

Jul 23, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Almost everything (if you are looking for a UMPC)
Cons: Get the ext batt...you also have to intall the drivers yourself
Opinion:
It was sold out in Hong Kong. It is now sold out in Singapore with stocks only coming in Sept. I believe it is almost sold out in Malaysia too....

I hunted high and low and managed to find one unit...I own one now...it is awesome!

I thing I wasn't too happy about is the need to install ALL the drivers yourself from the CD in order to get full functionality. With my UX, most of it was already installed and could be recovered from the recovery disk and ready to go....with the U1010, if you recover from a format, you WILL need to reinstall ALL the Fujitsu drivers and unilities from their CD...keep it handy and make sure you already have a USD DVD/CD Rom handy when you get one of these....

SOLD OUT MAN!!!

Jul 18, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Everything good as UMPC except Cons described below
Cons: no 3G, not so long standard battery life, Vista (if installed with this junk OS)
Opinion:
Superior build quality, almost perfect design (for UMPC), Very reasonable price.

It's SOLD OUT in Hong Kong, and here you have to preorder as it is SOLD OUT!!!

Need I say more!!!

Looks like other UMPC manufacturers will have to wake up or lose market share.
