WiBrain B1 UMPC Unboxed

I finally managed to set my eyes on a real-life UMPC last Saturday. I forgot to take note of what model it was, but my thoughts immediately turned to its application. To be specific, I was thinking of how I would actually use it, and the first thing that came to mind was blogging. A UMPC equipped with the right features will finally allow me to do on-the-fly writing.

I didn’t actually buy the unit, but the thought is still there. With that, here’s the unboxing of the WiBrain B1 UMPC, courtesy of Boy Genius Report:

Here we have the WiBrain B1. It’s a new UMPC that features a 1.2GHz intel processor, 1GB of RAM, a 60GB HD, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Why does that really matter? Well, remember how UMPCs were supposed to “affordable”? This one is priced at $849, which we can’t argue with! It uses the split QWERTY thumb pad arrangement that the Samsung Q1 Ultra uses, but in our usage, it worked pretty well. Let’s not fool ourselves, it took some getting used to, but the buttons were placed and sized nicely, with awesome tactile feedback.
