That means, you can do almost anything with it which you do with your Windows desktop computer as well, and you can even do most of it the same way as you do it with your desktop PC.įor me, it took some time to realize this for myself, having struggled with the various limitations of ultramobile platforms such as the 200LX the Zaurus etc.Īnd even now I sometimes forget about it and begin to think much too complicated about "how to do XY with the M1". The UMID mbook M1 is a normal Intel ATOM based netbook, running a normal version of Windows XP. Adapt your thinking! Before reading on, please consider the following: Photos for comparison For an optical comparison between the HP 200LX and the UMID mbook M1, I have taken some photos and uploaded them to my homepage, as part of a project of making the HP Connectivity Pack work well on the M1. Headphones and USB are not connected using standard connectors. This is one of the weaker points of the M1: Nevertheless, I am considering a hardware modification, taking out the DMB antenna and replacing it with a standard 3,5mm or maybe 2,5mm headphone plug. However, the DMB antenna is so small that it's virtually no waste of space to have it inside the M1. It is some sort of digital TV, an enhancement of the DAB digital audio broadcast standard.

There is a DMB TV tuner built into most or all M1 models, which is quite useless for usage outside of Korea (or Asia). With a few optimization steps, it is possible to make the M1 a good substitute for a "large" PC, even at home, using some external accessories. My M1 has an Intel Atom 1.1 GHz processor (there are models with up to 1.33GHz), 512MB RAM (some models have 1GB) and 16GB SSD memory built-in (some models have 8 GB, some 32 GB). It is little bit larger in footprint, but not as thick, making it fit most of the old HP 200LX carrying cases nicely. It has approximately the size of the HP 200LX. it has mostly the technical specifications of a modern low-cost netbook, but is much smaller. The UMID mbook M1 is a "mini netbook", i.e. I got it second hand with Windows XP preloaded, but I installed my own systems: Dual-boot Windows XP SP3 and Linux. This is a model which came with Linux installed. I have the UMID mbook M1, model M1-114KWA.Īccording to the overview of available M1 models here: Here is a BZ review which also mentions differences between the M1 and the BZ: These problems will be described later on in this document. However, the really annoying wakeup problems and WiFi / BT deactivation on sleep are NOT solved in the BZ. So some of the tweaks described in this review may not be needed for the BZ. It has different case design and some internal improvements which solve some of the "teething troubles" of the M1. Introduction / What is the mbook M1 and mbook BZ?

on member fixup summarized a series of fixes and tricks how to overcome some of the remaining problems. The central place to look for solutions is the pockables forum.Į.g. In the meantime, some problems which are described as unresolved here, may have been resolved. Please be aware that this review, which contains tipps and tricks for optimizing the system, is not maintained anymore as of beginning of the year 2011. Since the UMID M1 and the Viliv N5 share some identical or similar hardware and software components, my Viliv N5 setup guide may be worthwhile for you to read, too. In the meantime I have switched to a Viliv N5 UMPC, which suits my needs better. This review is written from the point of view of a former HP 200LX power user, who has found a successor for the 200LX in the UMID M1.
