Last night, Phaw went to Park Sqaure Makati to check out 4 different mini laptops that have hit the Philippine market both officially and unofficially. Here are the 4 mini-laptops he checked out:
- Asus EEE PC
- Neo Explore X1
- Astone UMPC
- Deep Blue H1
Here is a 4-way spec comparison of the 4:
| Product | Asus EEE PC | Neo Explore X1 | Astone UMPC | Deep Blue H1 |
| Price | P19800 | P16999 | P19500 | P16900 |
| RAM | 512 MB | 512 MB | 1 GB | 1 GB |
| CPU | Celeron 900 Mhz | Celeron 900 Mhz | 1.2GHz Via | 1.0 GHz |
| Storage | 4 GB | 512 MB | 30 GB | 40 GB |
| Battery | 4-cell 5200mAh | 3-4 hrs | 4-cell 2200mAh | 4.5 hours |
| OS | Xandros | Windows XP Starter | Linpus | |
| Wifi | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Card Reader | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Display | 7″ (800×480) | 7″ (800×480) | 7″ (800×400) | 7″ (800×480) |
| LAN | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| USB | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Webcam | 0.3 MP | No | 0.3 MP | 0.3 MP |
| Weight | 0.89 kg | 1.4 kg | 0.97 kg | 1.2 kg |
Looking at the specs above, Deep Blue H1 is the clear winner. However, Phaw was able to try it and was mightily dissatisfied. Why? Because everything went slow, from opening a spreadsheet to browsing the internet to playing a game! Phaw asked the salesman why it was slow and he mentioned it might be because of the OS being Linpus. Phaw is not so sure about that but as of now, he won’t recommend it to anyone. It even looked fragile and was not at all attractive to the eye.
Right now, if Phaw were to buy a mini-laptop, he would buy the Asus EEE PC because of its durability and professional looks.
