UMID M1 first impressions from MID Moves

Click here to see more


As Steve is back from MID Moves tour at SXSW, it's time for UMID M1 MBook first impressions.

I must agree most of his thoughts about it, but I have to say I just can't like the curved design... or build quality.. or white color .. or white keyboard on black housing...

Hmm... building new cooler looking housing for it would be a good/fun hack..

It looks like UMID is not using PCI-E 3G modem but either Siemens or some other modem with btob connector... so 3G upgrade is not that easy...

If power and USB lines are found on bigger pads, you could always solder a modem like I did here.

RAM and SSD soldered ...

Overall the internal design looks better than external.. Happy hacking Joe!

Thanks UMPCFever!
