I guess the OQO should be called a laptop too since it's a Mobile PC.

There is a difference between a laptop and UMPC.
I'd like to see you slip your Macbook Pro into the front pocket of a binder, or school folder without stretching it or breaking the paper/plastic flap.

Wait, I know this one. The humiliation of dropping over $2k (and/or a testicle/ovary) only to find out you bought a machine that runs slower than most other CHEAPER machines already on the market.

You're a jackass. The MacBook Air is an ultraportable laptop. And not a very good one at that, considering how big it is in areas other than "thin." UMPCs are things like the Flipstart, the OQO, or the Vaio UX.

Stop preaching nonsense.]]>Jan 29th 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/Jan 29th 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/
Get a clue.

A UMPC has to have a screen from 5" to 7" - MacBook Air is 13.3".
A UMPC has to have a touch screen - MacBook Air does not.
A UMPC must be 2lbs or less - MacBook Air is 3lbs.
A UMPC has to be able to run Windows XP Tablet PC edition or later. MBA can - but can't use the Tablet PC features without adding on a Wacom Tablet.

It's NOT a UMPC. It's NOT a MID either.

Let it go, you're completely OTL on this one.

UMPCs are lightweight, compact devices that run Windows and use handwriting as the main way to enter data. The OQO IS a UMPC (although on the edge of the definition). The Samsung Q1U is one also. The MacBook Air is NOT.]]>Jan 29th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/
Oh.. and while we're on it - most (if not all) real UMPCs are $1500 or less all the way down to $750. If you insist on calling the MBA a UMPC, then you're wrong about it being the 'cheapest' one out there. It's actually the most expensive one by far.]]>Jan 29th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/Man, now I feel depressed.

...wha?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO_Model_02

Google results yield about a million instances of the word "UMPC" too. Why, does OQO call it a Micro-PC? That'd be pretty lame...

On a totally unrelated note - because I need to whine about this - OQO is a damn mess. I got THREE different OQO 02s (kept returning them - defective batteries). I didn't get a working one until the fourth - and the HDD in it is making clicking noises.

Geez... they need to get it together.]]>Jan 29th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/Jan 29th 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/29/macbook-air-shipments-beginning-for-the-earliest-adopters/
