Magazine Review

Stuff Magazine shows its readers why you do not need to hang around with larger laptops when you can make do with ultramobile PCs (some of it are actually phones) that are not only small, travel-friendly and reliant. But since Stuff Magazine still doubts the reliant part, it sent some of its staff on the field and they were asked to report back using what else but the tiny machines.

On top of Stuff Magazine’s list is Nokia N810 which costs $480. This is a slider phone with a slide-out keyboard, compatible with Skype and GPS with a 2GB memory which you can expand to 8GB, 400MHz processor and a battery life of 4 hours. But like most of its tribe, the small keyboard is difficult for serious typists.

Next in Stuff Magazine’s list is the Fujitsu U810 which costs $999. This notebook has a swivel touchscreen with Vista OS. It boasts of a RAM of 1GB, Intel 800 MHz processor and a 5 hour battery life.

The Asus Eee PC which costs $400 is a common sight already even in thrid world countries. It’s so compact you can place it inside a lady’s bag. It has a Linux OS with Mobile Intel Celeron processor, 4GB storage and a battery life of 3.31 hours.

Now you can take your pick but thank Stuff Magazine first.
