I am extremely fortunate to have in my hands (literally) a sleek Asus R2H UMPC running Windows Vista Ultimate. The Asus is fully tricked out with GPS, web cam and fingerprint reader, and it runs very snappily with the 1 GB of memory I added before booting it up the first time. I am very impressed with how well suited Vista is on the UMPC platform, and the new Origami Experience is very sweet indeed. I’m going to be testing quite a wide range of software on the Asus to see how well various programs run on Vista so it will be fun. I can’t wait to try out the integrated GPS and the web cam. You will find some photos of the Asus after the jump, and if you’re wondering just how small the Fujitsu P1610 really is take a look at the photo that shows it side by side with the Asus.
NOTE: I need to to figure out why my blogging software is darkening these photos. They looked great until inserted into the post.
