We had a chance to spend some brief time with the UMID M1 MID at Mobile World Congress this week, courtesy of Intel’s stand, and in the plastic it certainly does little to disappoint if it’s a super-small full QWERTY notebook you’re looking for. One thing that was hammered home after some hands-on time: this is very much a niche product.
The keyboard could be one significant limiting factor for a lot of people. As the photos with the M1 alongside the Sony VAIO P show, it’s a seriously small layout; we tried typing and found that, with the limited key travel and minimal spacing in-between, it’s tough to do much more than peck out emails. Similarly, the touchscreen - which is a mere 4.8-inches - is tough on the eyes at 1024 x 600 and it makes it tricky to select things with a fingertip. That’s doubly difficult at the very edges of the display, where the raised bezel and the small graphics mean the Windows close-window ‘X’ is almost impossible to tap: expect to either hit Alt+F4 or whip out the stylus.
