For it to speed up a little i had to disable paging, prefetch and write caching.. by doing so i gained approx. 10-18% performance increase. I experienced data corruption after the first boot upon installation of drivers for 3 times already and right now is my fourth attempt to make it work. I'm just glad this laptop aint mine.

Runs simple Windows XP Home version and it is relatively fast too. I had a bigger labtop for traveling but they are always too big for the plane seat. This is the answer for sure. Quick wireless Internet connect for your browsing and emails. Show photos and movies once you install the proper players and codecs too. My plays MG2,MPG4,WMV, MP3's and Youtubes FLV's too. Had to dowload a free players though. 120 GB drive is pretty good size. If you go on trip and can do without DVD/CD drive this an awesome tool. Get 8 GB memory stick and carry what else you want on it. May carry external CD/DVD drive if you must. I love it for Windows XP (Not Vista) and its speed and no complications.Good product ACER!

I would not expect UMPC's to perform as well for pro audio purposes as a desktop or purpose built laptop. But, if they can handle e.g., a 2 in 2 out (or even 4 in 4 out) USB 2.0 audio/MIDI interface from e.g., M-Audio or Tascam and allow simultaneous playback of e.g., 4 tracks while recording 2, a UMPC would make a great portable studio. Also, can a UMPC handle playback of software based samplers via MIDI with reasonably low latency? I haven't seen anyone investigate this use case with a UMPC yet.
