Hands-on with ASUS and Founder UMPCs

Mar 9th 2006 6:34PM on Engadget

#61 - The 10gb drive isn't a fair comparison. The U70 and "UMPCs" have the same form factor.

VAIO U70 had the price handicap (but cheaper than OQO!), 'cause it wasn't backed by Wintel... and the ULV Pentium-M was a pricey novelty back then.

The question is, these devices don't deserve all this hype.

Oh, for the record, VAIO U50/70 failed because 2.5h of battery life is **it. And the extended battery (4h) was bulky & heavy.

Bah, those are total rip-offs of Sony VAIO U50/U70...

They had a 1 GHz Pentium M, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB HD, 800x600 touchscreen, Wireless 802.11b and battery life of 2.5h / 4h with extended battery.

So this is 3-year old tech.

The new VAIO SZ ultraportable also has a dual graphics card (Intel GMA900 & GeForce7400Go, remember, it's a 13.3", 0.9in thick, 4lbs laptop) and claims 7 hrs of battery life. It has a "stamina" switch to change between cards.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
