Customer Reviews

Love it
I bought mine several months ago. I still like it very much.

Vista Home is just too slow during start-up and program launch. Wished I spent a little more to get Vista Business so that I can downgrade it to Win XP tablet. It doesn't matter anymore anyways, I switched to Ubuntu 8.10 and have been quite happy with it.

The screen is crisp, but probably not too small for long use.

Love At First Byte
I love my mini laptop. I can pull over to the side of the road and receive emails in an instant (with my wi-fi card). It is easier to type on than my Blackberry but not big enough to use as my sole computer. This is a great buy, reliable and quick. I'd buy one for each member of my family, if I could afford it.

After some time to adapt to its control, it is a marvellous PDA / UMPC
This is never a general purpose notebook and every interested potential owner should know clear his/her own usage with this machine and judge whether this is suitable. For me, it fits my usage in excellent ways, as a portable ebook reader of any common format for English + Asian languages, a video players for all available formats, and for running some simple special purpose applications that only have the Windows version.

A lot of people claimed that they were dis-satisfied with the boot up time and responsiveness of Windows Vista with this machine. I personally find it not an issue. I only reboot the machine once per a few weeks and most of the time I just put it into either sleep / hibernate. Besides, unlike my full-size notebook, I seldom open more than 3 applications in the same time.

This is my first tablet PC and I took more than 1 week to get used to the controls and interfaces. After that I find it pretty convenient to use. In terms of convenience, it should never be directly compared to full-size notebook nor desktop PC. However, with the thumb-pointer + stylus + finger control + virtual keyboard, I could do almost all operations on this machine without using the highly trimmed down keyboard. With the additional 3 Fn + navigational keys, 3 customizable application keys, the dedicated Ctrl+Alt+Del key and the Fujitsu software function menu, control is easy.

The finger-print reader is very accurate and is a perfect device used in a UMPC for which typing is a heavy duty operation. It accuracy is very promising - the error rate is lower than 5% as I experienced.

The extended battery is a must. I swap between standard and extended ones for different usage. Also the hardware Wifi+BT on/off button is a good design as I could immediately turn them off in 1 sec to save battery life.

I would give it a score of 95/100. Very finely made machine with solid built that fit my purpose very well.
