eWEEK Labs Walkthrough: Flipstart super compact PC

The Flipstart micro-PC has a 1.1GHz Pentium M processor, 512MB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive.

Along with the standard Windows XP navigation options, the Flipstart includes its own navigation pane, which can be launched with a click of a button.

Typing on the Flipstart is kind of like typing on a very large BlackBerry.

Given the small screen and resolution of the Flipstart, the integrated zoom is pretty much a necessity for reading content.

With the InfoPane on the cover of the Flipstart, we could easily access and read e-mails and access contacts and calendar information.

An additional port replicator for the Flipstart somewhat easily attaches to the back.

The Flipstart port replicator provides connections for VGA, ethernet and additional USB ports.

The entire bottom half of the Flipstart is the battery, which can be easily detached.

Included with our Flipstart were the port replicator, a headset with microphone, and a carrying bag.
