Even with Vista, this unit performs exceptionally well. I had recently upgraded to Windows 7 and its even better.

Simply put, this device changes the way I practice medicine. I was looking for a device to review electronic medical records while seeing my patients. A notebook screen would have presented a barrier between me and my patients, and a desktop screen would have required me to turn my back. This little 2 lb handheld full windows vista touch screen device allows me to unobtrusively review all of my records with my patients both sitting and standing. Mouse, who needs a mouse, just point on the screen with your index finger! It has a nice bright screen, great battery life, full integrated microphone, webcam, camera. One touch internet connect button. Can't wait to install Skype. Two USB ports including one one the top, very convenient for plugging in a wireless 3G modem. I'll be able to review my records anywhere. Very handy fingerprint security sensor. Keyboard on sides is small for my fingers and not backlit. Still I'll be able to install my voice recognition program and input data mainly by voice soon. There is a handy voice recognition program included that controls the device fairly well and do learn your speech as well. It's just that my Dragon medical 10 program recognizes voice so much better. Windows Vista supports a touch screen which is helpful, but I can't scroll do with two fingers as I could do on an apple touch pad that would be very helpful. I find windows business Vista quite complex to set up, I used an IT guy, but once configured it can do remarkable things. Play netflix streaming movies without a hitch. I barely feel it's weight when I throw it in the bag. I'm just amazed that the Ultra mobile PC hasn't caught on. I'm just not sure it's been marketed properly. All my IT guys didn't even know it existed and were amazed! Samsung really needs to market this to doctors and anyone else that need a full computer in the field.
Nice product.

I really wanted a smaller PC that I could travel with and would be fairly reliable. I mainly do things like use Word or play games.
This is slow out of the box. Tweak it, get the model with XP; do everything you can to get the speed to a point you can work with. With a little work (in my case using vLite to kill some of Vista can do to a system) and some smart software choices, this can be an awesome miniature system.
The major issues I've noticed with this comes from the hard drive and the processor.
The hard drive is just small. 80GB can be enough for some people. I was able to get what I wanted on the system with about 30GB to spare to cycle out games and videos from time to time later on when I start running out of room. Definitely figure out what your storage needs are.
The processor? It's Intel. And yes you can go back and forth about AMD and Intel and this or that, but when it comes down to it I've had better experiences with AMD when it comes to my needs over Intel. So why not choose a UMPC with AMD? I love this pc's design over anything else I saw out there.
Other things to note:
- The battery life (generally 6 hours) is more than adequate for my needs away from a plugin.
- If you're into it, there are some additional items for the UMPC. (Car charger, protective cases, etc.)
- The QWERTY keyboard layout is odd for me to use. It uses a different split on the keyboard than I'm used to (I'm used to the split being where the normal hand placement for the keys should be) so typing is an issue at times (use a usb keyboard for anything more than a sentence or two).
I haven't run into an issue yet with this system and it can really pack a punch if you treat it right.
Incredible device, a little pricey though

I am a scientist and due to my work I need a great deal of mobility. I got this device with an extra AC adapter (one for home and one for my lab), because are the main areas where I work and with the 6-cell battery I can get more than 6 hours without wifi. I bought a cheap usb keyboard for paper writing and I can say that I dont need any more. Vista runs smoothly with the 2gb and it handles all what I need in a very satisfying way. The screen is really good, very bright, and although everyone tells me about how small is the 7inch screen, I find it totally aceptable for my work. I already took it to a congress outside my city and to a trip into the US (i'm from Chile) and for the first time I did not miss anything, because I had it all within this device. I had to prepare a results discussion and I did the powerpoint presentation in the plane without any difficulty. I find this device almost perfect. I use foldershare in order to sync both computers, mozy for some cloud computing and the google pack for everything else. For the first time I can consider myself a road warrior. My next purchase will be an extra 6-cell battery, but for now I can say that my expectations are completely fulfilled. I recommend it a 100%.
