July is going to be a very busy month for me here at home. We’ve got guests from England for the whole of July and although I’ll be slowing down on daily work, I’ll need to be keeping on top of news and staying in touch with Ben so that we can co-ordinate articles. To that end I’ve put together a UMPC set-up that I’ll keep as my main mobile set-up for the whole month.
It’s based on the Fujitsu Loox U/50 which is 
one of the most ‘professional’ of the UMPCs available at the moment. It’s a true all-rounder with lots of storage, good battery life and has a very small and light build. I have the docking station too so it always finds its way back to a charger. It doesn’t come with built-in 3G so I’ve added the MiFi which charges via a USB cable connected to the Fujitsu docking station. At 666gm (really!) it’s small and light enough to carry with me in a small shoulder bag. Hopefully no-one will notice!

I also have this incredible PC, equipped with 3G internal modem for my Vodafone connection. Nothing short of amazing! Maybe the best pro level UMPC.
