Someone asked to compare all the available ultra-portables in the market, especially the ones in the 7″ display. So we rounded-up four UMPCs — Asus Eee PC, Neo Explore X1, Astone UMPC and Deep Blue H1. See comparison chart after the jump.
The results of the comparison chart are pretty interesting. If you don’t place these cheap laptops side by side, you’ll never notice which model tops the scale.
Despite the unfamiliar processor in Via, the Deep Blue H1 and Astone UMPC gets you the best bang for your buck. The extra weight is obviously because of the heavier but bigger storage space on the HDD.
Hope the chart above will help you decide on your next laptop purchase.

hmmm.. Spec-wise and price-wise it’s Deep Blue. I just wish it came in white.
this is so helpful!
the deep blue h1 sounds interesting. but, where can i buy it in the philippines? i haven’t seen it in the PC shops in malls, even in MOA. do i have to go somwhere special?
PC corner, I think for Deep Blue. I pasted a link somehere in a previous post.
I suggest you guys wait for HP’s Mini-note with VIA’s Isaiah processor, CN. The current one they released comes with VIA’s C7-M processor running at 1.6ghz at most which is still not as good as Celeron-M running at 900mhz.
A couple of websites have pitted VIA CN against Intel Atom and aside from burning less battery power, VIA CN also provides roughly 30% better performance… And is also way cheaper. Meaning HP Mini-note will eventually overtake EEE PC on the performance to price ratio.
Deep Blue H1 looks like the clear winner here.
Abe, VIA is the best low-voltage processor n the market. A good number of high-priced portables use it.
tsk tsk now I feel bad for buying the Neo Xplore because of the Deep Blue specs. Anyway, Xplore has a card reader at the back of the unit. =)
pretty much, the h1 wins. extra lbs for HDD is not a big deal…
So any one here uses the h1?
When the Eee PC came out, it was admired for its portability and cheap price. Yes computing will never be the same again due to the Eee. But even the Eee can be used for evil purposes.
