The Ubiquio 701 is a bit of a mixed bag. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into the design of the thing. The controls have been well thought out and make the device easy to use – probably more so than Samsung's Q1 and certainly more so than the smaller, lighter keyboard-equipped Sony UX1. I really liked the way every control fell to hand (or thumb) and was easy to access and understand. But, alas, there are just too many negatives here to give the 701 a wholehearted recommendation. Battery life is average, physical connectivity is lacking and the heat dissipation issue is a serious negative. And though it is cheap for a UMPC, at £580 compared to £690 for the Samsung, it's still not wonderful value when you consider how much you get in a budget laptop these days.

Overall

7/10
