Just want to make a comment. I recently purchased this netbook model. It works very well, it is light weight and you can install any software as if it were a desktop PC. After using for some time, I think this is an ideal model for travelling because it is small and handy. However, the main observation I can make is that it heats over a reasonable temperature. With a cooler fan the problem can be avoided but at the end when you want to use it for travelling you have to carry the cooler fan too.

I'm sorry about this.. Warning do NOT CONTINUE reading.A few years ago a couple went out to dinner. later that night the babysitter called and asked if she could put a sheet over the clown statue in the kids bedroom. the father said "get the kids out of the house and I'll call the police. we don't own a clown statue." it turned out that the clown was a murderer escaped from jail. if you don't repost this message on 10 videos the clown will be in your bedroom tonight at 3am with a chainsaw

I really enjoyed ur video. Most sincere review of a product I've seen in a while. Very, very nice job. Nice is an understatement, but, u get the point. I feel proud, because of unique & honest reviews like urs to live in this Internet/technology age. Thank u so much. Even though I wouldn't buy this umpc, u deserve much thanks for making this video.

Yea, this won't be a problem!

It /probably/ isn't as good as netbooks with Intel CPUs und GPUs, but I saw it work with XP really, really good.

Flame: not a umpc. its a netbook, you cant test performance by running tons of apps, you have to utilize them all at the same time. but in contrast to most netbooks (eeepc, and etc) yes it is nice.

Praise: Nice demonstrations. Nice and clear voice. Non moving camera.

unfortunately he keeps looking to the side of the camera - it seems that he is being cued on by someone...

u talk too slow and say the same stuff over and over again.... kevin does it much better and covers more throughly!

If only this was a 1.6ghz cpu across the range. Here in the UK we get a slower via chip, the 1.2GHz and its slow as hell with suse or xp. If you are in the UK stay clear of this model. It's a shame as it is the best constructed one we have tested yet at work.

Agreed, only other issues is the slightly upped price in comparison to other netbooks and the glossy display (which is a disaster for a mobile device but, hey noone's perfect).

Hopefully this little fellow will come with atom or nano cpu's within a couple of months. That'd make it THE notebook replacement to get.
