Sorry dug this up... Just wondering if this will run things like centrafuse decently.

I found this http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/umpc/howitworks.mspx

Just wondering if anyone has one of these UMPC's.

For more functionality at roughly the same price, you can get a tablet PC like I have. Sure the UMPC is compact but it leaves a lot to be desired... A tablet is larger but is capable of much more... Click on the link in my sig to see my tablet setup in my scion xb...

Nice features. Another collection for gadget lovers would be great to have that has been release this 2012. Aside from that interesting features, VAIO UX ran on Windows XP, which means that there it is a distinct possibility that the VAIO U, provided it doesn’t get canceled, is going to run on Windows 8. It has a front-facing camera, a detachable stylus on the bottom edge of the keyboard and a side USB port. The concept model also, had an 11-inch screen, which makes it larger than many other tablets, including the iPad. Of course, the hitch is going to be whether or not it’s priced to compete with other tablets or whether the keyboard will give it the advantage. The device was a bit expensive, at $1,800 for North America, but it did just about everything the modern tablet does, isn't just right? I just read it here: Sony may be releasing VAIO hybrid tablet.
