| Surprisingly quick for a 500Mhz PC and with very good battery life (over 5 hours normal use.) The VEGA will make a great high-end entertainment and navigation UMPC for car and home. Touch screen, mouse button and extensive button array improve usability. Is shipped in Korea with Windows XP Home so don't expect a full touch-enabled experience. Lack of built-in Wifi and Bluetooth means using USB sticks which is a disadvantage. Screen is very good quality at native resolution but too small at the highest 1024x768 setting. This is not a high-end gaming machine due to the limited 3D graphics support. |
