Reviewed: UMID Mbook BZ
UMID is one of those crafty makers that aren’t that well-known but make pretty compelling products. Their Mbook BZ is a tiny 1.2GHz Atom wonder which packs a lot in its 0.36kg frame including a 4.8″ touchscreen, 16GB flash storage a USB port and microSD slots.
jkOnTheRun has a full review on this little device and gives a thumbs up on the portability, performance and software selection included with it. Sadly, it got shot down a notch due to the smallish touchscreen and the price. It clocks in at US$549 a pop so that might make people have second thoughts and get a much more powerful netbook at the same price. If there’s anything the netbook revolution has taught us is that smaller doesn’t mean pricier anymore, something UMID would do well to learn.
