I got the unit before the launch in korea, I have been using it for about 2 weeks and the functions are great, The speed of the unit was almost like my regular notebook PC, I travel alot around the world and was looking for a fast PC. I ran across this unit in korea, and found that the user interface like the keyboard and the dual touchpad and touchscreen was one of the greatest ideas seen so far. I didn’t have to lay it down to use it. i could do everything while holding it. The unit had great power. I think this one is a keeper.

Woops, that should have been directed at Benz145, my bad!

The VX700 is the integrated northbridge & southbridge chipset. It’s the same chipset in the OQO model 02 and the Samsung Q1B.

The original Aving.net story has the UMPC listed as running a VIA C7M ULV CPU/VX700 GPU. Does the VX700GPU mean that this device has its own dedicated video card? I suppose that could explain its large size.

Why don’t we keep making UMPCs bigger and keep adding things like optical drives? Oh, I guess then they’d be laptops.
