Reviews of the Asus R2H Ultramobile PC
-
CNET Review
The Good: Large 7-inch screen; good battery life; built-in GPS.
The Bad: Bigger and heavier than other UMPC systems; underpowered CPU; difficult to input text.
The Bottom Line: The Asus R2H is too big to be truly ultramobile, but its relatively large screen and decent battery make it good for on-the-go Web surfing and media playing, even if the onscreen keyboard is a chore to use.

Review Summary: As far as I'm concerned, the Asus R2H ultra-mobile PC is a tech-lover's dream. A geek could hole up with it for days on end without missing a bigger machine or even a gaming console. This PC, available from Dynamism.com for $999, has just about everything
