    CNET Review

    January 17, 2008

    The Good: Reasonably priced; touch pad plus keyboard plus touch screen equals high usability.

    The Bad: Poor performance, even compared with other UMPCs; disappointing battery life; fan noise is potential problem; no cellular connectivity.

    The Bottom Line: The WiBrain B1E isn't perfect, but it's the least expensive and most usable UMPC we've tested.
