Jurong Girl asks there are so many UMPC's around now. Which one do you think is good? EEE PC, Kohjinsha, Evernote, Cl

thinks

I wld prefer the HP mini coz of the keyboard size and it is the best looking one.

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:50AM

agrees on the Mini-Note.

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:52AM

likes

the EEE pc, but is starting to like HP Mini and Kohjinsha. Want simple blogger pc

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:53AM

just wants something he can fit a nice leather satchel. dun want to look like a backpacker.

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:54AM

daniel, I think all of those can fit in your nice leather satches just fine

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:54AM

says

exactly!

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:55AM

but nothing beats the eee pc for being the most affordable though. The big negative thing about it is its linux is very hard to customize

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:56AM

VERY difficult to update the flash player, VERY difficult to install programs and there are issues in doing video streaming too

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:57AM

says

change the OS to Win XP?

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:58AM

thinks

the HP mini is not perfect either. Running Vista on a slow cpu... but if u want something nice and light... guess HP mini is still it.

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:58AM

not daring enough to change os to win xp ... hehehe (not mine to mod with)

Jun 05, 2008 - 08:59AM

prefers xp to vista

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:00AM

thinks

if only the next gen of via CPU is released. then can betta support Vista. HP mini got support for bluetooth. Good 4 transferring images

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:02AM

wonders why there is no review units being put up for bloggers (the launch not counted)

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:04AM

says

coz it does not need it, there is a shortage! Kenny Sia just bought one for himself.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:05AM

asks

rinaz got a free mini?!!!

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:06AM

cobalt : he did? oh I didnt know that

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:07AM

UF : You got a review unit? What did you think of it?

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:08AM

feels

embarrassed. Oops! I misunderstood uniquefrequency 's plurk. Tot he meant rinaz has one review unit. Sorry.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:10AM

thinks

she should get a UMPC with a webcam since surfing is what she does primarily. And a separate CPU for video editing

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:11AM

says

then u shld get HP mini. It has a very unobtrusive webcam

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:13AM

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:16AM

starting to like the Acer Aspire One

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:19AM

asks

Isn't the Acer Aspire an inspired version of HP mini? Hey! I'll take a look at the Aspire version too!

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:21AM

but seeing as how the specs is similar to the HP Mini but is cheaper, I'm leaning more towards the Acer

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:27AM

feels

the same. But must see the physical unit to compare the finishings.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:29AM

says

yeah now i'm tempted too ><.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:30AM

according to engadget, its supposed to be out in September in USA. Would really love to get my hands on a unit to try

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:34AM

feels

that the hawtest mini-pc thingy is the MSI one though.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:40AM

thinks

she will buy the Acer Aspire One for her birthday

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:41AM

says

rinaz GOOD choice, it looks FINE

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:42AM

but the MSI minipc is kiut too *confuzzled*

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:43AM

UF is the new W2k

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:44AM

hugs UF

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:45AM

says

wait! The Aspire One will ship in July! Not september! Yay! I can really get this for my bday!

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:46AM

says

rinaz Agreed.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:46AM

thinks

he will buy one for his wife for our anniversary to replace her dying ibook.

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:48AM

says

danielgoh Great choice my friend. What model though? and why not a MB in keeping with the apple tradition

Jun 05, 2008 - 09:58AM

says

she wants something small. plus we also have a MBPro and another ibook liao.

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:05AM

asks

what would be the RRP of the Acer Aspire One?

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:06AM

RRP?

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:07AM

recommended retail price?

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:07AM

Oh, its listed to cost about $750 sing dollars before GST

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:08AM

heck, its even cheaper than the Asus EEE PC most recent line

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:08AM

oh, that's still more than the eee pc. I saw that they have the 8GB or the 80GB HDD.

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:09AM

you can choose for linux which is 8gb or the win xp at 80gb

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:10AM

says

oh. I guess since the xp is a larger programme than linux.

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:12AM

xp is not *that* large

but they have their own customized linux and i'm worried about not being able to install programs

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:13AM

says

i've never used linux before so I wouldn't know. I don't even use my mac to it's fullest potential. *is a computer noob*

Jun 05, 2008 - 10:28AM

feels

that the Acer Aspire one may Rock so hard. but hey we'll all just have to see no? mintea don't worry we all learn!
