The Deep Blue H1 UMPC laptop/notebook has recently been released in the Philippines with an affordable price of just Php16,995 only.

Deep Blue H1

Specs of the laptop includes: 7″ inches diagonal length, 800×480 screen, 1.0GHz Via C7-M processor, 1GB RAM, 40 GB HDD, WiFi, LAN, 0.3 megapixel webcam, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 card reader, 1.2 kilograms, and runs on Linux OS.


This laptop is definitely an Asus Eee PC competitor — way cheaper and has solved the problem of storage space. We don’t have review units yet so we can say if the system works as expected.

    Keyboard contacts can be cleaned. You can go to Greenhills and have it checked there by some technicians. It could be easy that they won’t even charge you. But I still gave them P200

    i have a blue h1 umpc its been about 2 months already since a bought it its fast if you install the right kind of applications.. mine is running on WinXP i recommend everyone to install applications with versions dated 2003 and below, like office2003,photoshop CS,dreamweaver 8 etc.. for games AoE 2, Disciples 2, HoMM 3 or even 4, diablo 2 etc.. for online games ragnarok online and alike its isometrical i think.. and lastly my advice is buy a COOLING PAD!

    Does this notebook can handle/ run lower version of CAD applications? (RAM is only 1GB and can’t be upgraded?)

    the last time i checked from the store where I bought my blue h1 umpc here in Cagayan de Oro, the price increased from 12t to 16t. I really don’t know why. Maybe because there is fewer stock available because the trend is heading towards the 10-inch UMPC’s rather than the 7-inch ones. Or maybe it was a campaign by blue to drop the price to gain footing on the Laptop/notebook/netbook market in our country.

    got a blue last jan. its not that fast but it is able to perform those daily task you need to do eg word browsing ym. i doubt it ran smoothly on photoshop and CADs hehe to bad it doesnt allow you to upgrade its RAM or HD space. screen is quite small but over all its a bang for a buck. even used it in playing movies from my ext hdd.

    already had a bootable usb flash drive with win xp, then its taking too long, to install. Guess the best thing is to get an external cd drive for this.

    thanks yuga

    Connect it to an external CD/DVD drive. Or use a USB drive with WinXP.

    Thanks

    Maurice B. Says:

    what OS are you using? If its Windows XP, just activate the automatic updates in the control panel. I don’t know about Linux cuz I’ve never used any OS other than Windows. I’ve been a Microsoft user since my first old floppy drive desktop computer.

    Is there a battery upgrade for the deep blue h1 umpc from 4 cell to 6 cell battery pack? i want it to extend beyond 4 hours of usage and i don’t mind the extra weight and chunkier look.

    hi guys! mine broke down due to corrupted files from a virus attack. I went to the dealer Graphics all-in store here in Cagayan de oro and i complained about the LCD having a thumb size flicker on the upper left panel pixels, and the lower body is deformed due to poor construction. Its probably a factory defect which happens all the time.

    So no need to cry over spilled milk cuz the store agreed to replace my unit with a new one regardless of the virus attack. OS problems was not part of the warranty after all.

    @Winlove… Here in Cagayan de Oro Graphics all-in store sells Blue H1 Winxp 40gb for 12,599 less 1,500 if bought during December and 9,998 for Linux 60gb. our prices in our city is much2x cheaper compaired to Cebu. Even cellphones are sold cheaper around here.

    hi just purchased this wonderful umpc during the peak of christmas rush in one of our mobile gadget centrum in our city called graphics all-in store in cagayan de oro city. this umpc is so versatile and compact compared with my old neo q-note notebook.

    im just surprised that many claimed that blue h1 umpc is a proud pinoy product. The harddrive is made in the phlippines but the design of the notebook itself does not originate from our country. i think its from china and there are other companies like in Thailand that contracts with this chinese company to build a umpc for them. i spotted one in google called NorhTec Gecko UMPC. they said its from thailand.
