Exterior
Even when unpacking we have to face the fact that we don’t exactly get what we would have expected, but we won’t be sorry after all. There should have been a UMPC inside the box and we have an eeePC clone. There would be no problem with this, as I’ve been thinking about buying such a netbook for a while, but I didn’t do it yet. It’s hard to decide what category does this device fall into. Based on its size and features I’d say that it’s evidently a netbook. But then we have the group of tablet PCs, and it fits there too, as the rotatable and touch-sensitive display is a requirement there. It could be a UMPC too, as based on its definition (A mobile device with diagonal screen size from 4"-10" running any OS and supporting more than one computing/communication function.) it fits there too, but I couldn’t judge it as one based on the exterior. So let’s consider it as a nowadays popular netbook that has a tablet PC crammed inside it. Why should we consider it this way? Because this is what it is.
The package I had wasn’t the retail edition, so I don’t have 100% accurate information about the accessories, but it still came with a carrying case (made of the kind of textile that is used for the notebook bags too), a charger, and that’s it. I could use an extra stylus, but there is no real need for anything else.
Let’s not mention that the keyboard fell in my hands upon opening the device for the first time and let’s try to have an objective opinion. The case, weighing 1.3 kilograms, can be comfortably carried on a shoulder or even in a larger folder, but this is really the max weight, as it has some competitors that are less than 1 kg. Its size (235 x 180 x 42 mm at the thickest point) makes it perfect for the task it has been made for: portable and can be used anywhere.
There aren’t many ports and connectors, but we have the usual set we can see on netbooks. The Kensington lock is on the left, along with a UTP port, a USB-, an expresscard connector and the SD card reader. On the right we can see the small power button, the charger’s connector, two USB port, the microphone and headset connectors and a VGA connector where we can connect an external display (projector, monitor). There is of course no optical drive.
