Damn there are some real fucktards on this site. I'm not talking about weight Zorg...duh...maybe you should lay off the reefer. Same goes for you prosthetichead, think more and talk less. Not trying to imply they had 800mhz processors in 1991. What I'm trying to imply is that these UMPCs are very immature. If you were living in 1991 and I made an identical analogy comparing a 91 laptop to a 1980's PC both you idiots would have made the same stupid comments. For the educated here I'm sure the majority will wait another 5 years when they are instant on, have 3ghz processors, a boatload of memory, run a good 8 hours on a single charge and cost less than $500. Right now its nothing more than an overpriced toy. Enough said.

He may be being a prick, but his point is still valid: Until battery life actually reaches at least 8 hours, and preferably more like 12 to 16, there's nothing "ultra-mobile" about these PCs. Just what am I supposed to do with one of these? Be out of the office, working, and then say, "Whoops! Looks like I'll need to go recharge for a couple of hours!" Or, alternatively, carry around three or four spare batteries?

Until I can get through a working day (10 hours at minimum) on a single charge, I'm going to have to agree with Rick Person. The UMPC is immature and unworkable as a business solution.

Wow, you are clueless. UMPC's are NOT desktop replacements. Hell, they're not even laptop replacements. If you want power then go get a laptop/desktop. UMPC's are about mobility. Why would you need so much power in device thats you would only want to be running a few apps at the same time?

CapnVan:
As far as I'm aware.. the normal battery for the Ultra is ...4 hours? And the extended battery is about 7. Theres also the Everun which is like 6 hours and 12 on the extended (but it pulls it off by being such a small device).

Jeff:
Not sure if your going to see this but... the finger print reader is only about $15, so the extra price on the Q1U-V is just for Vista.

Why did you buy the Q1U-V when it seems you actually want the Q1U-XP?
