Let's get a comfy shitposting device / UMPC thread going. I'll start with some OC: A sony Vaio PCG-C1 running Windows ME. Going to install Windows 98 soon (maybe test Lubuntu Minimal as well)

Not as good as on the EEE PC series but a million times better than the Vaio Z-Series, the OpenPandora (pic related) or any phone for that matter.
>>
>>55000068
The real question is, how well does it play SC:BW?
>>
>>55000068
Own this UMPC. The typing is actually not bad based on the size of it. If you get the later version which have a faster CPU with Window XP, it's workable. For now, it's actually not a bad Sony Vaio UMPC with quite a few interesting technology which you don't see later on on laptop at that time.
>>
>>55000111
Most certainly. I'm playing Star Wars Episode 1 Racer right now and it works flawlessly.
>>
>>54999996
>98/ME
God, why? Unless you want good games support at least put NT4 on it.
>>
>>55000156
I'm really just going to use it for games (Windows 98 / Directx7 games primarily). Lubuntu maybe just for the novelty of running a modern OS on it. But since it has neither Wifi, not (native) ethernet, it's probably not worth it.

Does that even run on that turd?
>>
>>54999996
That would be useful if it could run kali.
>>
>>55000225
Yes, without any issues whatsoever. I'm seriously amazed because the integrated GPU only has 4mb dedicated video memory (128mb ram in total)
>>
>>55000206
Makes sense. Now that I think about it, I don't even think that thing was offered with NT4 anyway, 98 is good for keeping the autism intact.

They may not be the best but they're better than typing on a feedbackless glass slate

You have 10 seconds to explain why you haven't rebuilt your laptop battery.

How common are UMPCs? I thought they were obsolete and out of circulation.

Is it possible for me to get one at a decent price? Because I'm thinking of getting to replace my smartphone once I move out of where I live.
>>
>>55000906
Is it difficult?
Or expensive?
I've kind of wanted to rebuild some really old batteries desu, but they're NiMH/NiCad
>>
>>55000906
Too much effort to do before I have to. I'm interested in how well >>55000293 will do once I do though, it already gets 4.5 hours which is much more than I was expecting
>>
>>55000928
The really nice ones like the VAIO UX and other meme varieties commonly posted are pretty expensive, but you can find ultraportables cheaply enough.

Pandora sat on this shit for 10 years and still can't make anything worthwhile.

>>55001696
Then get a 10" netbook, it's about as small as you can go while being able to type normally.

Pic related has an NFC tag under the palmrest (well at least mine does), I just tap my phone to it and it creates a Bluetooth PAN

What about those of us who aren't manchildren who can't survive without an emulator everywhere we go?

I'd hardly count 11.6" as a netbook. I mean I know it counts but when your daily driver's screen is a half inch larger it's just pointless

"Comfy" UMPC is just a meme, if not an oxymoron.
Squeezing your eyes over a 5' 800x480 screen and thumb-typing on an equally tiny keyboard is hardly comfortable.
