When ASUS EEE PC came out, I wanted to buy one. But its disk capacity of only 4GB is a major turn-off for me. It’s not enough for me.
So, when Deep Blue H1 came out boasting of its 40GB disk capacity, I did not hesitate to buy one. Besides having 40GB capacity, it’s much cheaper than the ASUS EEE PC. The one I bought only costed Php 11499 (around USD 250), pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition.
Deep Blue H1 Ultra Mobile PC
More of its specifications:
- Processor : VIA C7-M 1.0 GHz
- Memory : 1GB DDR2
- Video : 7.0-inch Wide TFT, WXGA (800×480)
- Harddisk : 40GB Mobile
- Audio : Built-in speakers
- Ports : 2 x USB 2.0
- LAN : 10/100Mbps
- Wi-Fi : 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
- Dimensions : 244 x 172 x 28.5 mm
- Weight : 1.2 kg.
- Features : Card reader, Web camera, Touch pad with left & right buttons, Up to 4 hours battery life
Yeah, there’s no Intel Inside because the processor is not from Intel. I’ve installed AVG Antivirus, MS Office, Firefox and GIMP on it. So far, no signs of blue screen of death. It’s not fast, but it’s neither slow. Should I say, tolerable speed? Yup. Just right. Or in Tagalog, tama lang.
And since it is small, my wife can easily put it in her hand bag while strolling in the mall. 
I actually bought it for her. Now she can blog as often as she wants. 
I bought it at Villman Computers at Parksquare, Makati.

Hi guys, been using my Blue H1 for almost a week now. wala naman akong problems. very satisfied ako sa performance niya. as the the author placed it above “tamang tama lang”. I can carry it anywhere. I’m using the Linpus Linux version which is faster especially when it comes to this kind of UMPC’s from cold start up to boot takes me around 45 seconds. and shut down is faster around 20 seconds. Also since its running on Linpus Linux im using open office right now which is very much the same as Microsoft office and the best thing about linux is its free.
take note i almost dont turn this baby off. minsan lang, im testing kung magiinit or mag cacrash. and surprisingly wala ako naeencounter pa. hahaha update ko kayo guys for developments pero as of now, i love the blue H1.

Plan to have that soon pero ang prob is ung capabilities nya well kasi unti nalang pd na sa ibang laptop and kapag maliit mejo mura xempre ung quality siguro depende na lang to sa person on how he use his gadgets ako kasi almost 24 hours online kaya di pd masisira agad yan…
pero if i will getting a netbook siguro Asus 1000H or Acer Mini ehehe galing kasi e top netbooks xa and one of the top ten sa laptop..

Just want to ask, pwede ba ito iconnect sa external monitor? may VGA Port po b ito? We are really studying if we are going to buy this PC. Parang lalabas na raw kasi ung model na may VIA Isaiah yung twice daw ang speed?
Thanks for the help
