Umpc

Postby Kenshin17 » Thu Jan 10, 2008 10:56 am

Ok, for those who do not know a UMPC is an Ultra Mobile PC.

Now I am wanting to buy one to use at work. A specific one, the Fujitsu Lifebook U810. I have looked around and it's the only one that appeals to me.

I like it's looks and feature set.

There is the link to the Fujitsu page.

Now note that I will NOT get it with Vista. I refuse.

Now I am posting this to see if anyone has had experience here, or has any suggestions about accessories I may not think I need.

I plan to get it with a full sized stylus so it is easier to write on it.

My reasons for chosing this one:

1) Form factor, small and it is more like a traditional laptop. I do not like the slate type UMPCs

2) Tablet. I can use it either as a mini-notebook or a tablet.

3) Good specs, it may seem low but I have run XP on 266 and 300 mhz systems and it runs fine. These systems had less then 512 RAM as well.

4) Price is good, and Fujitsu makes good systems

So anyone have any thoughts that maybe I should consider? This will be my first UMPC purchase.

That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby

I know it would, I was asking if anyone knew anything I maybe missed.
