One of the nice things about a clamshell design is the automatic screen protection. The clamshell doesn't have this problem and is also much easier to slip into a pocket or put into a bag without a case.
A convertible clamshell is probably the most versatile form factor since it can be used as a handheld, tablet, and mini laptop, but I think a non-convertible clamshell comes in second. The UMID doesn't have the best thumb or multi-finger keyboard around, but its 56 keys are very good for both purposes.
The unit is actually a hair too wide for my hands to have a perfectly comfortable thumb typing experience, but it's definitely more comfortable than other devices with a similar form factor. The keys have a good feel to them, press down easily with thumb or finger, and offer both tactile and audible quiet tapping feedback. Other things I like about the keyboard are the dedicated number row and Fn key shortcuts, which provide quick access to brightness settings, volume, the battery meter, webcam, and standby mode.
Some may not be pleased with the single shift key on the left, but StickyKeys makes that a non-issue for me. What I do have trouble with, however, are the keys that require the Fn and shift keys to be pressed at the same time. This key combination is required to access basic punctuation like the question mark and double quotes, which I use often, and StickyKeys doesn't recognize it.
Wondering about typing speeds? I'm thumb typing on the UMID mbook M1 at a net speed of about 45 wpm and multi-finger typing at about 47 wpm. You can see how these numbers compare to some other gadgets in my mobile device keyboard typing speeds chart.
Expansion card slots of any kind are always a plus in my book, and the super tiny microSD card is definitely one of my favorites. Even though the M1 doesn't have top-of-the-line specs, few can find fault with the pairing of Windows XP and the 1. It isn't the snappiest system ever made, mostly because it has only MB of RAM, but it's still enjoyably usable without any optimizations.
Of course, performance can be greatly improved by using applications that aren't resource hogs and trimmed down Windows installations like nLite , but for basic computing tasks like web browsing and word processing, the M1 runs fine out of the box. The mbook M1 has a nice bright screen that is viewable in direct sunlight max brightness and bright enough to make the keyboard visible in a dark room shown below. I don't know if the display actually has an anti-glare coating on it, but it certainly seems like it does.
Whereas some devices can double as mirrors at lower brightness settings, you won't see your reflection when using the M1. Most websites are pretty well optimized for this resolution, so horizontal scrolling which is a major nuisance is almost never an issue. Considering that the There's no question about whether it can comfortably fit into a pocket either. And I'm not talking about one of those large pockets you find on jackets or cargo pants; I mean a regular jeans or front shirt pocket.
I'm just too spoiled by the quick boot time, non-moving parts, and low maintenance to go back to a spinning hard drive. Particularly with a handheld device like the mbook, which is designed with mobility in mind, an SSD is really a must-have.
It definitely adds to the durability factor mentioned earlier as well. Like the Viliv S5 Premium , the mbook M1 also boasts such excellent standby battery time that there's no reason to ever hibernate the XP machine to conserve power when not in use. That's better than sleep mode in Vista! Having a dedicated place on a device to store its stylus may not seem important, but to me it's a case of not appreciating what you have until it's gone.
I like not having to carry the stylus separately or leave it dangling from a strap loop; it's just tidier and more convenient. The mbook's touchscreen is accurate and flawlessly responsive even to light touches. Windows XP may not be optimized for the finger, but with a few simple tweaks and the mbook M1's fantastic touchscreen, the OS is easy to navigate. Some of the smaller targets are still better suited for the stylus than the fingertip, but overall the touch experience is excellent.
When the device is used in laptop mode, the bottom half isn't really heavy enough to keep the unit from tipping over when the screen is tapped with too much force. Once you realize how lightly you can actually tap the screen to get things done, however, mbook tipping isn't a problem. One of the drawbacks to buying a device that hasn't been released worldwide is often the lack of support. Whether you need help troubleshooting a problem, are looking for advice from a more experienced user, or just want to connect with other owners, it can be difficult to get any of it if the device in question doesn't have a mainstream following.
Fortunately, mbook users don't need to wait for the MID to take off before they have a place to gather. It's still in its infancy, but the UMID mbook M1 forum is currently the most active English-speaking community you'll find on the net. See notes on Skype below. The screen is excellent. Resolution is high and the touch layer works really well. UMID have implemented drivers with cursor stabilisation which makes touching elements on the screen with the built-in stylus or even the finger easy.
Use on Windows XP will require the use of large icons and a boost of the font sizes and window elements but This can be done easily in Windows XP. There is another important note here though because of a real problem with the angle that the screen opens up to. This means you are constantly adjusting the device for the best thumbing comfort and then the best viewing angle.
This is the most annoying fault of the UMID and really seems like a major design error. This is noticeable when using the thumb typing method due to the screen angle problem mentioned above. The micro SD card slot cover is very poorly designed. In fact, we would advise to simply break it off! The XP-configurable power button sleep, standy or power-off sits next to the Wifi and Bluetooth control button.
Both Wifi and BT are enabled at the same time but you can disable the Bluetooth radio from the system try icon. Overall the UMID passes most performance tests with flying colors and on some areas, sets new standards. CPU based performance is good too. CrystalMark R3 [0. Stay tuned for more information on 3D performance as drivers are still in early-stage development. Audio performance from the supplied headphones is poor and the output stage itself seems to be poor too.
This is not a HiFi device! The built-in mic is excellent for general use and although the mono speaker is quiet, it has reasonable clarity. The UMID is fanless and it is possible to get the device warm. As the air input is on the base of the device, heat build-up is noticeable when the device is in use on a table-top.
As the device is fanless and has no rotating disk, the only thing you can hear is a tiny amount of noise from the power components if you hold it to your ear. A log-out and log-in is required to fix this. It was fixed automatically on booting.
We suspect this was to do with an ungraceful shutdown on battery-empty. Worst-case battery life Wifi on, web working is slightly under the 3. Best-case with Wifi-on is about 4. Playing back a medium bitrate film under CPU will return around 4 hours. If you can configure the device to decode video in hardware, expect another 30 minutes on top of that.
Using the LaptopMag web-page loading test that starts a browser, loads a page, pauses for 10 seconds, closes the browser and continually repeats with a cycle of different websites, we were able to get 4hrs and 10 minutes.
