The Deep Blue H1 mini notebook had an early mover advantage in the UMPC market but it seems it wasn't able to hold its ground against the newcomers. Blue Digital Systems went with a Via processor with the H1 -- a 1.0GHz Via C7-M. In my 7-inch UMPC Rounds-Up last April, the Blue H1 came out on top as the cheapest and feature-packed among the four. The Blue H1 has a compact built though the battery pack is protruding from its back side. And while the keyboard size and orientation is the same, the Blue H1 has more space for palm rest which makes it easier to touch type. The Blue H1 is cooler (less hot) too, maybe because of the low-power Via and the good ventilation at the bottom (there were 4 grill slots in there). If Blue Systems can drop the current price down to Php9,995 today (compared to the 701's Php13k curent price tag), I'm sure people will find it a good great bargain. For connectivity, there’s eSIM support, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS, and infrared. Read more in our articles including "Deep Blue H1 Mini Notebook Review" and "vivo X300 Ultra Review".
