Can anyone identify this mini laptop for me?
>>47036305
It's a generic Chinese 5" UMPC, that's sold under many different brands. You can find them on Dealextreme and alibaba.
They still make them for some reason.
>>47036341
I can't find any of these. the only cheap generic things that keep coming up are those 7inch netbooks that run android.
>>47036305
I found one but in white and :

>>47036305
Looks like an MID MI12.
>>47036509
THANK YOU
I've not used alibaba before. do I really have to email the seller to find out a price?
>>47036547
yes and if you do order, get ready to wait for a while
last thing i bought on alibaba took around 40 days to be delivered
It is a G Net
>>47036509
> 11.Lithium Battery 2-cell Lithium polymer 7.4V 1850mAh,can work about 2-3 hours
sweet
Are there any good UMPCs? I know they have been made redundant by tablets, but I just love the form factor
>>47036305
Could this machine play Doom?
>>47036871
it's running windows xp
of course it can run doom
Its an Eking s515
nostalgia: the palmtop
>>47036871

could it play Quake?
>>47036871
>>47037808
I'll let you guys know in a minute.
>>47037808
dayum
thats neat
>>47037808
That is really neat and you don't need all that vram for textures
>>47037830
update: Doom 1 doesn't full screen or window properly, I'll need to look into that
quake 1 doesn't load. for shame, but I'm sure it's something on my end and not the computer
it also comes with a 3g card, and a mobile partnet program so you can make calls, sms, and use the internet with. It's really and all in one device but the problem is the speed, and the battery life.

thumbnail made me think that some Anon busted his nut over his umpc keyboard.
>>47042683
RollerCoaster Tycoon is pretty tantalizing tho
if only that mini laptop could play emulated n64 games on it well it'd be worth it to recommend. but for now it's just RCT all day err day, and when I fix the 3g card in it, a spare phone
>>47046076
phones can emulate N64, that thing could easily do it.
>>47046096
it can do everything but n64/psx and beyond. You can download experimental gma 500 drivers for it, but it skews the full screen resolution and only super mario 64 works at 320x240
>>47038349
Try different sourceports. My favorite for quake: http://super8.qbism.com/
>>47046151
that looks awesome I'll give it a try when I get home. I did some research yesterday and it looks like more people had problems with just vanilla quake than anything
i've wanted a umpc for a good decade
i should just go and buy one
this >>47036509
seems alright, i wonder what it'll cost
>>47046479
Someday anon

>>47047256
it's like you've never seen alibaba before
if someone knows where i can can buy one i'm all ears though, nothing on aliexpress on ebay that i can see
>>47047287
You could try to talk massdrop into doing something.

Anything like this on Aliexpress?
There are reviews of this thing on youtube. it looks pretty shitty
>>47040064
nothing of value was lost
>>47047287
Tell the chinese seller that you are interested on that umpc and you want to sample it before you do business with him. Ask him how much for just one then. When you receive it just don't communicate with him anymore they mostly don't care if you don't buy more or jusrt forget.
No version with Baytrail and a screen that's not 800x480?
>>47048648
one of >>47047602
has a 1024x600 screen and larger battery
>>47048687
How much are these even?
>>47048748
dunno
>>47048748
this site looks like a scam honestly
http://chinapctablet.com/eking.html
>>47048873
>those prices
>>47048891
if it was $200 it'd be worth it, but not 600
>>47048912
Not reallly, these are like netbooks from 2008
Even $100 would be too much since you can get much better windows tablets for that price
Seriously, even the hp stream 7 is much better than these
>>47048951
yeah it is, sadly. I wonder what drives the price.
maybe the form factor, it makes phone calls, is globally compatible with gsm bands. I took mine apart (which is why the 3g doesn't work anymore) and the insides are very proprietary, I've never seen anything like them.
the ssd is a chip with a ribbon that is soldered onto the mobo.
>>47048951
>too big for pocket
>can't be used as a phone
>no keyboard
>no trackpoint
how is that even comparable? it's not even a umpc
>>47049010
Still better than these since it can run modern software unlike the old atoms
Remember me?
>>47049034
still a thousand dollars
>>47049034
still have mine somewhere
>>47049034
i wish i could afford that
>>47049034
Only thing I heard here on /g/ about these is that the drivers barely work
>>47049034
Cute cute cute!!!
>>47049065
How is loonix on it?

get it while it's hot boyz
You guys should spam mass drop asking them to get something going for link related, it seems to be the best UMPC on there

>>47049111
yeah have tried a few distros, drivers are ok, the disk speed really kills it and it's a zif connector so basically no replacement drives let alone ssds so unless I can do something silly like raid 0 across both memory card slots its pretty much dead
haha this one looks like a purse with the backing

>>47049164
they will just tell you it's out of stock. most of those listings are either exclusive to who ever but I've tried a vast majority of them but they all said the same thing
>>47049234
what did you think of that bad linux boot up thing? I could never get it working right
>>47049164
I would buy one of those. Is anyone selling just one ?
>>47049333
>cannot read the thread
>>47049270
yeah.. really i tried my usual distro fedora and it was having issues, cant remember what it was so i just threw ubuntu on there and it worked without issues as far as i can remember. just gotta put xfce or something on there to keep that poor atom happy
>>47049234
Such a shame. What a beautiful piece of kit.
>>47049164
>Best one on there
>Z515
>>47049378
Mine was one of the original ones that came out, so it was very slow, and wow it got hot. the one in the OP doesn't get nearly that hot, and although it's not nearly as fast, I always noticed the cpu in the vaio was always getting throttled. I wonder if the display resolution hurt it more than helped.
I tried installing lubuntu and kubuntu before I gave up. now I wish it was still working so I could try pear os just to see if it'd work. but unfortunately I took it apart to see what kind of ssd was in it. ah, welp...
seriously what is up with these weird ssd's in these things?

I would buy but Jap keyboard is too much for my ocd to handle
>>47049494
I think it kinda looks cool, like stickers on the back of a laptop without being fucking gay
>>47049034
marvellous piece of technology
>>47049344
im not a hustler, anon. i was the uncool kid in class who the teacher actually liked
>>47049427
They're all going to be shitty in the processor department, I ment the layout.
>>47049333
sure I'll sell you mine for $800
>>47049494
i have the japanese version and it actually has better hardware than the international version, depending on the version they have better specs, 3g and gps built in among other things
>>47049486
yeah heh i pulled mine apart too
see >>47049234
regarding the drive
>>47049234
>ZIF SSD
You can easily find them on Newegg and eBay
>>47047219
>>47037781
Holy fucking shit those are sexy.
Can I run linux on any of these.
Oh man, messing with Debian while on the train or taking a shit would be so cool.
>>47050626
>Messing with Debian taking a shit would be so cool.
I shit with a fucking T61 running Debian on my lap. Get on my level.
Libretto Masterrace
>>47051225
I love my T61.
Sadly it doesn't fit in my pocket.
>>47050626
since my 3g doesn't work I might give it a shot. debian is good
>>47051225
yeah you can run linux, but it'd have to be a lite version or a modified regular one.
even better thing is the box came with a driver disk of all of the drivers for windows xp so if you get stuck you have all the tools you need to revert back.
>>47049065
found an old pick. bro the keyboards on these are larger than life. I would have rather had something with a bit of a more satisfying press, but the low mileage is a requirement for this thing.
What is this likely going to go for?

>>47053323
it's not the last model made (that's the P11xx) so it shouldn't be more than $300. It has a 1.6 vs 1.3 GHz atom z530 which is single core BUT has hyperthreading.
I would look for someone with a p11 or a k798 they're a bit better in terms of hardware, but for those you'd be lucky to pay 500-800
>>47053323
also the batteries are trash, you HAVE to have the extended battery. it'll double your battery life from 3-6 hours.

>>47053503
if I had the money I'd buy this in a heartbeat. aside from its alligator-womanly-purse-like top to it, it's a beefy netbook with great parts in it, and the seller is giving it away for that price. that one is one of the top of the line ones made and are extremely hard to find.
>>47051405
>Pentium
My netbook is more expensive and has an Intel Atom fuck
>>47036305
Cheap Chinese something something
The battery will probably explode one day

nah it's fine, even after making phone calls it just gets a little warm
