Jurong Girl asks Jun 05, 2008 08:44AM there are so many UMPC's around now. Which one do you think is good? EEE PC, Kohjinsha, Evernote, Cloudbook, HP Mini ... etc?
King Paladin thinks Jun 05, 2008 06:47AM I wld prefer the HP mini coz of the keyboard size and it is the best looking one.
Jurong Girl likes Jun 05, 2008 06:52AM the EEE pc, but is starting to like HP Mini and Kohjinsha. Want simple blogger pc
upstart Jun 05, 2008 06:53AM just wants something he can fit a nice leather satchel. dun want to look like a backpacker.
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 06:54AM daniel, I think all of those can fit in your nice leather satches just fine
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 06:55AM 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
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 06:56AM VERY difficult to update the flash player, VERY difficult to install programs and there are issues in doing video streaming too
King Paladin thinks Jun 05, 2008 06:58AM 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.
Jurong Girl is Jun 05, 2008 06:58AM not daring enough to change os to win xp ... hehehe (not mine to mod with)
King Paladin thinks Jun 05, 2008 07:00AM 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
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 07:02AM wonders why there is no review units being put up for bloggers (the launch not counted)
King Paladin says Jun 05, 2008 07:04AM coz it does not need it, there is a shortage! Kenny Sia just bought one for himself.
King Paladin feels Jun 05, 2008 07:08AM embarrassed. Oops! I misunderstood uniquefrequency 's plurk. Tot he meant rinaz has one review unit. Sorry.
Jurong Girl thinks Jun 05, 2008 07:10AM she should get a UMPC with a webcam since surfing is what she does primarily. And a separate CPU for video editing
Jurong Girl is Jun 05, 2008 07:13AM looking at this forum thread : forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?p=5378995
King Paladin asks Jun 05, 2008 07:19AM Isn't the Acer Aspire an inspired version of HP mini? Hey! I'll take a look at the Aspire version too!
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 07:21AM but seeing as how the specs is similar to the HP Mini but is cheaper, I'm leaning more towards the Acer
King Paladin feels Jun 05, 2008 07:27AM the same. But must see the physical unit to compare the finishings.
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 07:30AM according to engadget, its supposed to be out in September in USA. Would really love to get my hands on a unit to try
Jurong Girl says Jun 05, 2008 07:45AM wait! The Aspire One will ship in July! Not september! Yay! I can really get this for my bday!
upstart thinks Jun 05, 2008 07:46AM he will buy one for his wife for our anniversary to replace her dying ibook.
RicRoll says Jun 05, 2008 07:48AM danielgoh Great choice my friend. What model though? and why not a MB in keeping with the apple tradition
upstart says Jun 05, 2008 07:58AM she wants something small. plus we also have a MBPro and another ibook liao.
Mintea Jun 05, 2008 08:08AM oh, that's still more than the eee pc. I saw that they have the 8GB or the 80GB HDD.
Jurong Girl Jun 05, 2008 08:12AM xp is not *that* large but they have their own customized linux and i'm worried about not being able to install programs
Mintea says Jun 05, 2008 08:13AM 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*
RicRoll feels Jun 05, 2008 08:28AM 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!
melvinyuan says Jun 05, 2008 08:38AM will be Live blogging at HP event next week on a HP Mini (provided by client)... let's see how good it is for folks like us...
