What is a UMPC?

What is the UMPC?

Has the thought of having a small mobile PC that doesn't weigh a ton, and can handle as much processing power as a computer ever appealed to you, well you and many other consumers certainly voiced strong opinions on this matter. The UMPC is the size of a paperback book, and is small and light enough to carry round with you all the time. The thing that really set the UMPC apart was the large clear screen which comes in sizes to 4-7 inches and is 100% touch screen, which means no more QWERTY Keyboards or other external keyboards needed to type onto the device. With the full screen on the UMPC you can enjoy media from your Windows Vista Desktop PC like it was meant to be enjoyed, you can create slide shows of your family holiday, and then play them back to anyone you meet when you are out and about. This can even be accompanied by music of your choosing, which really brings so much more to the viewing experience.

All UMPC devices come preloaded with a mobile version of Windows Vista, which means a user is going to enjoy a good experience and will be able to do so much more whilst on the move

They will be able to:

  • Stay in Touch at any location- Wherever you are connected to the internet, you are connected to the Ultra Mobile experience from the UMPC, you can browse the internet in full screen, browse RSS Feeds or send and receive email messages

  • Do More on the Go- With the great Windows Vista Experience being bought to the mobile environment you can use the Windows Vista programs such as Microsoft Office, Street Maps Games for Windows. It will seem like you have never been parted for your Windows Vista Desktop. With the touch functionality inbuilt to the UMPC, you can easily manipulate the programs without having to do a lot of work!
