up ko lang guys...wala ba talagang nakasubok nito?

[russpogi]

Parang the screen is too small because of the large borders on the side. Check mo din yung Aspire One and MSI Wind.

MSI Wind as advertized at rsun online, 7.5k more expensive than their Blue H1 UMPC:

pwede na ito if you are a light user who values mobility.
locally made naman ata ang Blue so you don't have to worry on the parts and services.

agree with sir russpogi, sayang ang space sa may screen nya.. hmmmmm if i were to choose, i'd buy an HP mininote at 25k or msi wind (wala pa naman akong nabasang nega feedbacks abt dito) kasi mas malakas pa kesa sa blue. pero mas mura nga naman ang blue kesa sa hp

Blue just reduced the H1's price down to P9,995. (It seems they are phasing it out.)

At that price, it is a temptation. Any users here who can provide feedback?

at 9995, i'll take it anytime than the Eee PC. may 40 GB na ito, with the same mobility.

I would rather buy Acer's Aspire One UMPC with it's Atom Processor and 9 inch screen with better screen resolution than suffer using the older UMPC generation with their 7 inch screen size and lower screen resolution.

A bargain is a bargain until you try using it yourself.

the asus eee 900 is also worth looking at too. It's priced at P14K+. it's a celeron but has an SSD so ok pa din battery life. 2.5 hours with 4-cell.

celeron is faster than atom most reviews say.

but I just bought the asus 1000H. 7 hours battery life, i dont bring my charger anymore. it's like a cellphone.

Well perfect for Powerpoint presentations in classroom lectures.
Tempting indeed. Withheld the purchase before because I already had a 12" screen Compaq.

PC Corner is now selling the original Asus Eee PC 701 4G at P9,995 also. Personally, between the two, I feel the 701 is a better choice.

As to whether the original 701 is underpowered or has an undersized keyboard or has too small a screen, it is very subjective. It also depends on your usage.

My kids bring their 701s instead of their regular notebooks whenever they go on a trip and find it very convenient. No hassle in terms of weight and space in their backpacks. They are able to do the things they usually do - surf and IM. For downloading, they just pack an external HD.

But as GH inferred, the best thing is to try the unit first. If the ergonomics fit and the specs suffice, why not? If not, then other models at higher prices might represent a better fit (or even a better bargain).

Another good review for Blue H1:

Among other things, my worry is the screen resolution. Mukhang hindi tatakbo ang newer versions ng Microsoft Office.

Well, as long as you have't bought one... you can always go for the UMPCs with the 9inch screen with higher resolution.

As for MS Office, there is OpenOffice. Free over the internet and just as capable as MS Office. Our office computers are all using OpenOffice. Saved us a bundle of money if I was going the legal route with MS Office.
