I'm thinking about getting one of these, has anyone had any experience with them? I'm not quite sure what the difference ids between the V800 and V801..just different memory size??
Any opinions...good or bad?
cheers |

| No, sorry i wasn't very clear. It's a Kohjinsha UMPC. In Korea it's the newest one the V800 and V801 has a dvd writer/gps/dmb etc. I think in other countries they have a different name maybe the SR series??? |

I have one that has runs XP. I tried to sell it here once, but decided to keep it. I like it. Runs the latest Word and not so laggy with other applications, but it's not a gaming rig (could probably handle low intensive games though but I haven't tried). The only thing I have some problems with is the screen size and keyboard size. I have a usb keyboard so that circumvents it and I could hook it up to another monitor but haven't ever. Another inch or two would be nice, but then it would start turning into an laptop. In summary, it won't disappoint but I haven't tried Vista on it (I hear it doesn't handle Vista very well), also mine is Korean XP, but I can handle it. Take a look at the other small ones though before deciding. |

I'm big time in the market for a little laptop(UMPC....whatever) from my research the MSI seems the best deal with EEEPC 901 pretty close behind. I would hold off, 'cos my opinion is that this category of PC is about to go bang in a big way.
I have briefly looked at the Kohjinshas and they seem nice. The built in GPS is killer. 7" screen wouldn't cut it in my opinion though.
Like I say heavily gravitating towards the MSI Wind.

I like those Kohjinshas but given the prices the Asus eeePC and similar ultra notebooks offer better value. The Kohjinsha has DVD, a swiveling screen and perhaps a higher performance spec but its not worth the price in my opinion.
I'm one of the opinion that UMPCs are fighting a different kind of market for the very few. |
