Foxconn Qbook Tech Report

Adrian Wong · 12th Jul 2008, 10:17 AM

Foxconn may be a relative newcomer to the retail business, but they are actively expanding in all areas. In addition to their motherboard and graphics card business, they are also delving into the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market. Their first MID product is the new Foxconn Qbook. Will the Qbook bring something new to the table, or will it just be another Eee PC clone? Let's find out.

Looks good to start be interesting to see how it performs. I am in the market for a laptop soon as I find 90 percent of what I am doing now my computer doesn't require the power of my desktop system.

I may look into a laptop and a wireless connection so I can work outside in the backyard instead of being stuck in here

That's a cute little laptop!

My EEEPc works wonders in wireless situations, where I can even surf in the kitchen, or in my bedroom, or whatever place I like!

Best of all, it's light.

So if you want a notebook for these surfing, get those featherweight books like the Foxconn Qbooks, EEE or similar ones.

Thanks for the feedback Bro I have been looking around and light is something I am looking for. Most of the time I just need to use a text editor, picture editor and access forums and IM online

The best thing about these MIDs is that they use solid state drives. You can do anything with them without worrying about ruining the drive.

But I'm not impressed by it's battery life. 2 hours is just too short.

The_YongGrand · 14th Jul 2008, 09:24 AM

Yeah, my EEEPc isn't running that long with the batteries. 2 hours and I need a full recharge later!

Is there an option to buy bigger battery?

Well, I heard that there's another battery sold with a higher miliampere-age.
