Haven’t really heard any development from Astone ever since I spotted their 7-inch UMPC back in April. Well, it looks like they’re still selling and has actually gone the way of the Blue H1 UMPC too.
Official product specs:
Astone UMPC
7″ WVGA Touch Screen Panel @ 800×400 pixels
VIA C7-M 1.2GHz
1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
60GB SATA HDD
WIFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0
4-in-1 Card Reader
3-cell Li-ion battery (up to 3.25 hours)
Linux Price: Php9,995
Windows XP Home: Php11,995
It can’t get any better than that. Astone should have done this much earlier and they could have sold thousands. Haven’t seen them displayed in stores but they’re available at PC Corner (tel # 723-1718 & 37).

What is the big diff between Linux Price: Php9,995 and Windows XP Home: Php11,995 ex. the prize.
Anway I tried to add my blog in your Philippine Best Blogs but it didnt get through.. I have posted the link alread but still kept telling me no link found.. sad ;(
@Payls - the Windows License costs Php2k. Email me details of your blog submission. I will manually add it.
What an incredible price drop… although now I’m asking, why didn’t this happen earlier.
they should. sad to say it’s still ugly yugs! read: UGLY (uneven screen) looks like more of a v-tech (child’s laptop toy) to moi.
Linux Price: Php9,995
Tiny XP modified OS: Php 9,995. ditch the linux and have your favorite modified OS. =)
@kuya jay
haha I think for that price, you’re getting what you paid for (especially the looks)
Do you think we can install Windows XP Tablet Edition in it since it has touchscreen? Does it’s touchscreen support handwriting capability? Thanks!
that thing is ugly! not worth the 10k imho.
looks like a toy laptop.
AcerOne looks better with a 10″ screen but the hard drive is only 8Gigs SSD and the OS is linux.
Are UMPCs like this good for regular web browsing?
hi! what do you think is better, blue h1 or astone? thanks!
wow, grabe ang binaba, bumili ako neto 2 months ago, the price was P19,900. ngayon grabeh, tsk tsk. nakaka pang hinayang.
I bought this last month with its price of 9,995. I just personally changed it to XP. It works like my desktop PC… Very handy, can flip the screen to whatever position I’d like and it has stylus. Well, so far, so good… Love it!
What are the implications if the umpc has no modem? And does astone have a dvd player?
i got the blue H1 with the same price and i can say im happy with it but when i read about this medyo nanghinayang ako ng konti because the blue h1 only has a 1ghz processor and the astone has 1.2ghz both have 1gb memory but astone has a bigger hdd at 60 gb the only down side of astone is the smaller resolution at 800 x 400 kasi with the 800 x 480 its a bit cramped up na nga eh. But so far i have no issues with my Blue H1. got xp installed and running office 2007 so happy with it. could’ve been better if it got the 1.2ghz processor sana.
which is better, blue h1 or the astone UMPC?
