Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I don't plan to install all that kinda stuff on it! You can supplement the internal drive with a SD card too... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Lee Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I wonder how this would work as a photo viewer and downloader. I can see potential for using it to transfer photos from an SD card to an external USB hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hmm, still think it's a waste of money unless you're a gadget lover. Like someone pointed out, pay a little more, you get a "proper" laptop with bigger HDD, memory and faster CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Yes, but I have a "proper" laptop. I want something small, light, longish batt life that I can have with me for web browsing etc. without needing my full (expensive) laptop. There are often times when I don't want to take a laptop with me, but a small machine I can chuck in a bag would be useful. Those times when a Kaiser just isn't big enough ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 That's true... but then that's what MDA Vario III is for? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 C'mon, sometimes 2.8" QVGA just doesn't cut it ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 C'mon, sometimes 2.8" QVGA just doesn't cut it ;) I think I'm going to win this one... use Opera Mini and its zooming feature. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I can still list a good few websites that don't render correctly and are not very usable on Opera ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Subliminal Aura Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think I'm going to win this one... use Opera Mini and its zooming feature. :( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ W!NN0R :D BUT Here's the come back.... ' Opera mini can't access sites on a private LAN ' ;) Think I'm with Paul on this one 2.8"@320x240 pixels just doesn't cut it. Mind you - looking into it in detail last night I came up with these 2 cons : 800×480 screen resolution might be a problem (note the 480 y-axis) I Might wait for it to be released with the meron cpu and hopefully no fans at all.

Guest leonxki Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 The full manual doesnt extract for me either. Paul, could you be so kind to host it somewhere accessible? Also, looking through the quick guide, I feel gutted that Im gonna miss the voice command feature that Xandros has with my favoured XP install. Damn. Thoughts?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well, I installed XP, and now i'm back on Xandros! I'm super impressed with their standard out of the box config... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J273 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well aint even switched mine on yet...Still undcided on which OS to go for. So you guys who have used Xp / Xandros + other os's which do you prefer now youve used them for a few days? Is Xp ok on 512 / 1gig ? Does it run sluggish at all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Running xp fine here! 1GB RAM but i've not seen usage about 400mb yet. General usage in XP is absolutely fine, any slow downs i've seen so far have been when the SSD is being really hammered, eg when installing everything from Windows Update! Office 2007 is fine, Outlook panics a bit though but i think thats more due to my 6560mb ost, my (modern) PC has similar issues. So far, no complaints whatsoever!

Guest J273 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ahh thats good to know....thanks ill get Xp on it tomoz then once ive put the 1gig RAM in. Do you have it installed on the internal drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
