[...] this review that the keyboard on the Aspire One is absolutely superb. This is a big change from the Vye S41 that I looked at last time, which had a cramped keyboard on par with the first batch of 7″ Eee PCs. Acer did a great job [...]

Great review, Ben! Well-organized, well-written, and very clear (even for an old dog like me!)

If the Vye S41 same as Kohjinsha SR8, I don’t think it has a built-in GPS

Thanks for the review Ben. I was considering this machine as I thought possibly due to the larger size it might have a larger battery, but if the DVD takes up all that space then it becomes a bit pointless.
It also seems on all the reviews of UMPCs that no-one makes a good enough keyboard for typing on unless it is virtually full size. So does this mean we shouldn’t be looking for such a keyboard and stop comparing them with full size and look at how good they are for general use such as posting to UMPCPortal or limited to simple ID’s and texting.

This review is from Ben, not me!

The SX3 is the next-gen version of this.
The SC3 is much smaller and has no DVD drive.

yes, indeed Fujitsu’s U2010 will be better in almost every aspect yet with a similar price tag.

Chippy,

please can you confirm if the sc3 is the next generation of this laptop or if that honor falls to the Kohjinsha SX3, which may also soon be available from importers and is ATOM based.
