Performance
Battery life is crucial with a UMPC, and we were happy with the i7210's performance. We used it for about 2 1/2 hours between chargings, which is a bit lower than a notebook could do, but not by that much.

The i7201 is as much a communication device as a work device, so it includes 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v1.2. We were able to connect quickly in our testing with either wireless system.

In use, the i7210 performs exactly like a Windows PC or notebook, right down to the third-party anti-virus software that's been no-so-helpfully preloaded (and warns that your computer might be at risk every time you start up). You'll find the usual set of applications, which include Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, and the Microsoft Office Suite.

This being a tablet, you'll also get several tablet apps that makes work easier. When you start up the i7210, you get the option of going through several tutorials that help familiarize you with tablet work. A desktop shortcut called TouchKit helps you set your stylus preferences, while another called Program Launcher lets you see your installed apps broken into categories. Also, a video capture tool allows you to see what's on your tablet's camera and record video from it.

Open the Start menu and you'll find three software collections for tablets, called the Education Pack, Experience Pack, and Touch Pack. With them, you can customize the launcher, draw on your tablet using a variety of brushes and pens, and play a few fun games like Hexic Deluxe and Sudoku.

The only problems we found when using the tablet is that the back gets hot after a while, making holding it uncomfortable, and preference windows often don't fit on the screen.

Accessories
You'll get a generous amount of accessories for your money, including a docking cradle (see top picture) and a slip case (see below). For chargings, we found it more convenient to simply use the power cord rather than the docking cradle, but the cradle serves other purposes, like holding the i7210 up at an angle so you can read off it. The cradle also lets you plug your tablet into an Ethernet cable or connect it to an external display with a VGA or S-video cable.

The slip case is better than most free cases, as it has a zipper, a handle and a little bit of padding. If you want to upgrade your case, you can find others on the TabletKiosk site.

You'll also get a printed guide that we wish had been a little longer and more detailed. The i7210 comes with a one year warranty.

Other optional accessories include a keyboard attachment and a disk drive attachment.

If you're looking for something more portable than a notebook that can help you with light computing on the go, the TabletKios Eo i7210 is a terrific choice. It's small enough to go anywhere, but powerful enough and fully-featured enough to handle whatever tasks you need to throw at it. We've seen the TabletKios Eo i7210 listed for between $1400 and $1,500.
