madu Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Hey guys.., It seems the UMPCs and MIDs are in full motion recently. I have a iPod Touch and it is great for keeping me busy while I commute on the train 2 hours a day. But lately with all the nifty gadgets coming out, the Touch feels a little inadequate. So I want you guys opinion. So I basically would like to have the option of being able to browse with a WiFi, read PDF (occasionally Word) files, watch couple of movie clips. I was thinking about buying an eReader but for $400+ (Sony e-Reader) I think it will be a waste of time. So what would you guys go for? Keeping in mind that I will have to operate this thing while traveling standing up. Few options are: Eee PC: http://eeepc.asus.com/global/products.html?n=0 Sony Vaio P: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...552921644608896 Archos: http://www.archos.com/ If you guys have any alternative please let me know. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 People seem to be giving the Eee PC positive feedback. Can't say much about it though. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/asus_eee_1000/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 My friend has an Eee PC and he loves it. I've used it a bit and it's pretty nice. Handles things nice and quick, good sized screen, and the keyboard's pretty nice for how small it is and how big my hands are. I have no complaints against it. He gets like 5 hours of battery too. I'd throw my vote to the Eee PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I think Dell has some too: http://www.dell.com/content/products/featu...;l=en&s=dhs Their sales come and go, but, they're pretty cheap regardless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madu Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for the input guys. The Eee looks nice but I think it maybe a little difficult to handle. Do you guys know anything cheaper but like a tablet. Where I can swirl the screen and its touch sensitive? So I can real something easily... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverclockTheStock Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 EEE all the way. Also. the small keyboard just needs some getting used to. Btw, game wise this can run cs(1.6), WC3,and even WoW after some edits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
politbureau Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Love my 1000HE. Keyboard is great, multitasking is a snap, and it overclocks! I posted some comments one directory up if you're interested in taking a look. Plus the price will be way cheaper than the Dell Mini's and far less than a tablet of any kind. Cheerio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Get the MSI Wind. Its fully functional with OSx86 (Hacked version of OS X for windows computers) and it has like 8 hours of battery life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
