Thread: Anyone own a UMPC?

Hey Carrypad-chippy, did u get a chance to make a vid yet?

I was at BB the other day playing with the new Samsung UMPC and to be honest was quite disappointed in its performance with just windows. There was some serious lag with just dragging windows around the screen. Not sure what the deal was with that. It also took quite a while to launch media center, but not extremely long. On my computer it loads pretty much instantly.

Still on the fence though until i can actually see RR running on one of these or something other type of app that acually gives me a since of how fast the pc is or isnt.

In the mean time i got a ipod touch to hold me over for music while in the car.




test edit..

wich model of Q1 you test ?
I use a Q1P whit Intel® Pentium® M ULV Processor 723 (1GHz, 400MHz, 1MB)

I just happened to run into this thread and I do have the Q1 with the 1gig processor, 1 gig ram. After reading this, I went and installed RR with IG 4.0 via bluetooth for testing and had no problems. This was running off the battery running at normal peformance. I had vista installed when I bought it, but found it to be too laggy. i reinstalled XP tablet and runs smooth as a 1.5 via mini itx. Just my 2 cents.... I think I will test it on max peformance and plugged in to really see it perform. I can shoot a video..but honestly I won't have time until this upcoming weekend to do that.. let me know...

Anyway I can help??

Yeah, those things running vista are a definite no-go...

that sounds good to me, i can wait. Max performance would be closer to a real world setup.
Even though im kind of leaning towards a different type of setup, i still want to get a UMPC.

Thanks in advance for the video.

I've just complete the PC Nav review with the Raon Digital Everun and there's a short section on Road Runner.

That's pretty cool .. I liked that PC Nav thing (had never seen it), anyway, you can exclude the area of the GPS from accepting gestures (so only the GPS uses it). You can also clip the area of the GPS so it doesn't flash when you click on road runner itself..

Thanks for making the vids, it def gives me a point of reference to go by.
