Amtek U560 UMPC review




I haven't had as long as I would have liked with the Amtek U560 so this review won't be as complete as previous ones but I think it will be more than enough to allow you to make your decisions on the device. The model I have here is a production sample that Mobilx.eu have loaned me. [Many Thanks!] It's not a final build so as with my testing on the HTC Shift, some things may change. Most noteably, the processor speed on the final production version.
The U560 is Amtek's third UMPC. They started with the T700, one of the first 'Origami' devices to come on to the market, and followed-up in 2007 with the VIA-based T770. Both were 7" slate devices and so the U560 is a slight departure from that being built around a 4.8" 1024x800 screen that slides up to reveal a keyboard a-la Sony UX. The U560 uses an Intel platform this time but continues Amtek's good tradition of solid construction.
