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.

well done!

May 19, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: cheap, fast startup and shutdown
Cons: 4400mAh battery life sucks
Opinion:
amazing device, cheap and lots of functionality. not the fastest around but good enough for internet, word, excel, web programming and maybe some 2D games.

One major spoiler, battery life is bad and power management is not good.

touchpad buttons are a little bit sticky, but touchpad control is quite good

got windows to startup in 25s-30s and shutdown in 10-15s, installed portableapps on the SD and work mostly from there.

ASUS company is dreaming again!

May 18, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Neil
Cons: Low memory, slow processor, no touch screen it is a waste of money...
Opinion:
ASUS is in the never never land of Michael Jackson. The company is dreaming again..A motherboard company turn to building notebook. Nice try but its a totally waste of money. Keep dreaming, I'm not fascinated with this model..Please, calling all motherboard companies that are made in china/taiwan let this technology to the hands of Japanese experts.
