According to him, it can be underclocked from 1.33GHz clock speed to 800 MHz without suffering any noticeable performance hit while playing some of the retro games on it.He was able to play Torment Planescape game for 5 hours straight on a single charge with WiFi off and CPU throlled to 800MHz, which is great for a UMPC. Later in his article, he admits that using a desktop OS on a small screen does sometimes gets a bit difficult and unusually complex.Microsoft can do a lot more in adapting the desktop OS according to the MID environments by making them more streamlined and more finger-friendly. That will happen in Windows 8, perhaps? Let's face it, Microsoft has never put the UMPCs in their top priority list and has always neglected this small, yet exiting market of UMPCs.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/umpc/samsung-q1up-umpc-perfect-for-retro-gaming/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/articles/eeebuntu-3-0-review-base-and-standard-editions/ http://gadgetmix.com/articles/eeebuntu-3-0-review-base-and-standard-editions/#comments Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:49:13 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8378 ]]> http://gadgetmix.com/articles/eeebuntu-3-0-review-base-and-standard-editions/feed/ 6
