(More customer reviews)I find the X70 very nice to use with an external keyboard and mouse in "desktop" mode. I get the size benefit of the little 7-inch EEE PC but retain the utility of a full-sized keyboard when needed. I used it this way almost all day today and didn't feel like I lost any functionality at all. The screen is the perfect size for the 1024×600 resolution and I can easily see everything with the UMPC sitting on the table in front of me.
I do a lot of web surfing and have adopted a method that works well for me. I rotate the screen to portrait orientation using the Intel Graphics utility. It has hot-keys configured for rotation (CTRL-ALT-ARROWS) and can rotate in all four orientations. The x70 is comfortable to hold in the hand this way, even for long periods, and web browsing using Firefox with the Grab and Drag add-on is a joy.
The 1.3 MP webcam does a decent job with Skype, though that's the only thing I've done with it so far. It's a stretch to keep moving the X70 until the camera field of vision is in the correct place as it is on the far right of the device. Sound quality is pretty good for this. I enjoy listening to music through the stereo speakers; the volume is loud enough and it sounds pretty good for a small device. Listening through headphones is very nice and the included audio utility makes it easy to tailor the sound to the music playing.
Reading e-books with eReader Pro in portrait is awesome. I can display a very full page and read to my heart's content and turn the page either by tapping on the lower part of the screen or even with the D-pad controller. I'm enjoying it so much that when I go back to the iPhone I'm not liking that device as much as I did before.
The speed of the X70 is very fast, as I would expect from the SSD. Opening programs and folders is nearly instantaneous and it's a great computer on which to do even serious work. Rebooting the system is quick (I haven't timed it) and sleep/resume is just a few seconds. It's a very full computing environment with the keyboard and mouse, as evidenced by writing this right now. I don't feel I'm sacrificing anything -- the mark of a very good device.
The X70 has integrated 3G. And I got a Month to Month , no binding contract data plan of 5GB per month for $60 from AT&T and am enjoying my X70EX mobile web browsing and have saved a lot of expensive hotel wireless internet cost as I travel a lot.
