  • Small, Windows XP
  • Poor battery life, bulky design

  • Abstract:  A promising debut for umpcs, but the controls are tricky to master Samsung wasnt only one of the first to announce a UMPC, but also the first to get us a fully working unit. Amazingly, it survived our torturous benchmark tests without overheating, bu...
