Intel Menlow and VIA Mobile ITX, Size vs Size


VIA's Mobile ITX is 75 mm x 45 mm, powering UMPCs next year and Intels Menlow motherbords will outline the sizes for MIDs at 143 mm x 74 mm...

Is there something confusing about Intel's board being 3 times bigger?

Look at this video too see how tiny that VIA's board is

Perfect example of performance CPU on UMPC


I have heard people complaining that Intel doesn't do faster CPUs for umpcs...

.. core 2 solo u2200 running at 1.2 GHz is pretty fast for a small mobile computer?

Sony put that on a package under 500g and with 3 hour battery life! If other oems would have balls, we could see these cpus on other umpcs too.... yep, they are expensive.. and sports cars cost more than wagons.

So stop wining about Intel and call your favorite oem to start making ultra mobile performance computers.

Asus R3 UMPC and Raon Digital Everun, Size vs Size


Same screen size and almost the same size housings... So is Everun a MID if you install Linux on it? And why Asus says "R3 UMPC" if it's a MID like Intel is telling us?
