If you are a person who always travel for business, you would probably be carrying a notebook and a PDA. The reason being the PDA screen is too small and a 14" notebook might just be fine yet clumsy to carry around. Imagine slinging a notebook carrying 2.5kg on the average while visiting exhibitions?

UMPC - Ultra mobile PC, is a new kind of computer. It combines the power of Windows XP with mobile-ready technologies that make it easy to access and use your software on the go. With small, lightweight, carry-everywhere hardware designs, you can connect and communicate, accomplish any task anywhere and at any time, and be entertained and informed wherever life takes you.

In terms of video playback, the image quality is acceptable for a 7" screen. If you don't like it, you can always plug it to a LCD or CRT. The playback of the multimedia clips did not hog the system at all. The sound level is also loud enough for your friends crowding you to enjoy the movie together. It might be good to incorporate a webcam on the unit so that users can see each other using MSN or SKYPE.
