Hi,

So here's my update. Reading forums last night, fell upon a newly released Intel Atom driver (which received much praise from other P owners). Ended up installing Vista last night on the P using the new Intel Atom driver and WOW, much more responsive, i'd have to say works much smoother than XP even. I can say that I am very content with this lil-"this is not a netbook" portable :)

So, had a blast with the Samsung NC10, still sitting here, picked up an HP DV2 (4gig/512meg ati version) freaking beast but not "netbook", but far better than my MacAir (don't ask, i'm a tech whore like half of you). So, walked into Sony two days ago and held the Sony P, holy crap, alright, this has got to be the smallest and lighest for sure with sick RES---bought it.

Day 0, didn't bother turning it on with Vista, out of box, Bios to CD boot, XP in (googled drivers on DV2 hehe while install). Install straightforward (didn't bother with all that GPS/HSPDA stuff yet)...wow resolution is sick 1600x768 on 8.9 (still amazed)...processor, well it's not horrible, avi clear and smooth, tried pumping a few apps and Winamp started to chop even mp3 playback....Went to bed.

Went to work, oh shit, forgot my DV2 plug had enough battery to backup files and then started loading work into the P. No bad, for office apps and webbased work, through in Avast to see how it'll "lag" and dual screen to a 20 inch ws (using the included adapter). Note, can't use my Matrix or "Fishtank" screensaver, MS Starfield it is. So day 1, had a surprise force workload on it, btw, battery for me, 1 1/2hr (time to ebay a 6 cell).

So so far, compact/lightweight and style is TIGHT, keyboard size great i can type but miss that right lil-shift button a lot (only bitch about this keyboard really). Software, so far nothing hardcore, machine paddled along through can say NC10 felt "more solid" (guess that 1.6 processor and 5400 rpm drive helps right?). Battery life sucks, 3 cell, 6 cell coming soon will re-post.

Day 2 at work, again battery died after 1 1/2 hours. Something else to note, the power AC adapter is small so not a pain as other "netbook" i've tried. Machine again handled my day, no super fast but got me through. Now, screen, 8.9 badass high res, but eyes are killing me.

Decision: Gonna sell the NC10 (i know, i know, hey i did use it as a main work machine for almost 2 months straight, the EEE, HP mini 1000, were more like backup toys). DV2 will run as my main machine (yes over MacAir..i'm windows based, bootcamp has "issues" over time). I'll keep the P as my "travel" backup/toy. Definitely can't use this daily basis for 10+ hours. Great to keep around for sure for those quick in an outs, travel, airports, cafes, imdb those "what's her name in what's that movie again?". As a sole pc, not totally recommended, but to compliment your "heftier" laptop, totally recommended if you got some bucks to throw around.

Just thought to share my experience...

So Chippy, what do you think? Looks very compelling. If Linux had readily available Wimax drivers, would probably push me over the edge. Curious to hear your thoughts...

Re: Asus Eee PC 1000HD reviews, specifications and news.

Stefan Schreier — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:05:14 -0000

I just bought an Asus Eee PC 1000HD and looking at the reviews I don't see anything that corresponds to it. The one I got has a 160 GB hard drive and I don't believe the processor is only 900 MH because it plays video, especially streaming video, too well for it to be only 900 MH. All it says is Intel, but which Intel is not specified. Also, it only weighs around 2.2 pounds, which is much lighter than the 3.2 lbs specified in the reviews. This is an excellent computer. About the only fault I can find with it is that the speakers are underneath, which is not really good, and the touch pad is a little tricky. The built in camera works fine but is not very flattering. It makes me look even worse than I actually look. The battery is four cell lithium which gives me almost 4 hours on a charge (more than the 3.5 hrs they claim). I paid $250 for it at Target.

Anyone have this computer? how does it compare to the OQO Model 2 / Fujitsu U820 / Viliv S5?

Re: Fujitsu P1620 reviews, specifications and news.

grr — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:22:58 -0000

Very similar to the gigabyte M912X - same size, resolution, chipset. Way better processor but weaker battery and identical graphic card, which is actually the most limiting aspect of such devices.
Way too expensive.

Very slow, very short battery time, worst of all too small hard disk. Service people not helpful at all, just saying it can not be upgraded. Had been purchasing several HTC phones and UMPC but now completely lost confidence about HTC. Won't buy or recommend another HTC product.

This is definetely my dream device... it's a pity it's still so expensive. I've still got my P1610, which is still my little workhorse... would need more processor power, though.

There will be a Multi touch version that ships with Windows 7 when it releases in October. It will most likely still be the same price as the version bieng released over the summer. Hopefully Asus will upgrade or offer the abilty to upgrade the SSD to 32-64gb of space. because 16Gb is not enough just for software with another 16gb dedicated to media in a disk expander slot. That is probably the only major flaw this sytem has going for it.
