Bought my first Windows machine in years from Woot. 33 hours after power-on, still running "critical" updates. http://tinyurl.com/yl5l5d2

Quick update; still don’t have my U810 of course, but it’s now sitting at my in-laws waiting for me to be there over Christmas. Interestingly, according to the feedback at Woot from those who have received theirs too, it’s actually the 3G version with integrated UMTS; that wasn’t mentioned in the original listing. Considering Fujitsu were originally charging $200 more for WWAN, it’s looking even more like a bargain at $399 overall!

Kathy, thanks for the offer, I’ll certainly bear it in mind. I won’t have a chance to play (and thus decide whether I like) with the U810 until late December, so if you need one sooner it’s probably a better idea to keep watching ebay…

I do like U810 style (especially the white one) but end up with u820 because of processor power, screen res, and battery.

Saw u820 for $530 open box and $599 NIB.

the 800mhz in the U810 is about as powerful as the 1.6GHz atom. It’s more than powerful enough. It’s the 1GB ram that limits it to XP or minimal 7/Vista.

The graphics is actually more powerful than the GMA500 in the atom UMPCs as well, but it draws a lot more energy and can not handel full dx9 like the GMA500.

I have had one for a while now but still, it’s getting a bit old now and am considering replacing it, but never saw anything that tempted me. I’m using it now.

I was thinking the same thing 800mhz and vista sound like a disaster worse than preteen pregnancy…. if this thing is capable of screaming, then you would think that th x70 would blow it away, esp. after its overclocked ( i think you can get it to do 1.5ghz with oc’ing )

The only question I’ll through there…Can the 800 mhz really handle windows at an acceptable standard?

With UMID M2 around the corner, I don’t see the reason on jumping into this one.

Yes, I wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the computer today; a total coincidence that the one time I sneak a look, I see your article!

As for what I’m going to do with the U810, I’ve actually got no idea. There’s a Samsung Q1 sitting unused in its box in the cupboard, and a Nokia N800 unused on the shelf, so obviously I decided I needed something in-between to ignore too! Maybe the keyboard will make a difference this time.

If not, I could always stick it on ebay and probably make back what I paid for it. They’re a rarity in the UK still, and the only ones I see right now have the 40GB not 60GB HDD.

Glad I managed to wrangle you in to this one, now you can let us know what you do with it! Wasn’t this supposed to be your day off!? It’s a shame that you’ll have to wait until Christmas to actually use it : P

Damn you Ben. Having realised that you can pay internationally as long as you ship to a US address (i.e. my in-laws, thank goodness for them!) I’ve now gone and ordered one. This is all your fault.

Now just to wait until Christmas when I’m actually over there to pick it up…

I’ll let you know that I’m drooling right now.

I’ve actually been scouring eBay for some. I wanted to check out prices before I committed to one. Really, though, I don’t have the funds at the moment, even though it’s actually a good investment for me.
