Customer Reviews

beautiful but slow
(+) very nice design
(+) tablet functions work wells with both XP Tablet & Vista
(+) large screen for size and weight.

(-) slow. needs cpu upgrade & faster hard drive spin speed. more RAM would be nice.
(-) weak antennas. needs "n" upgrade.
(-) have to carry peripheral devices, so defeat the small size.
(-) small keyboard.

***only purchase if you enjoy gadgets. I have both this and the Sony UX50. did not use them much and ended up reselling them.

Great Device but still needs some improvements - Best with XP tablet
I've been using the OQO e2 for a while , I fully moved from my old HP laptop to the OQO e2 , I noticed the slow response and some time a total freeze with Vista business , my work depends fully on emails and I have over 1000 email in my inbox most of them are with attachments and I feel the OQO is struggling with them , also It's hard just to open the media player in the background for some music , also the power problem since the original battery lasts for an hour max and the double capacity can deliver 2.5 max.
also the heat but all laptops gets hot while operating even my old HP.
BUT.
Very handy and well made ,keeps you online most of the time (even in the WC ), user friendly keys geniously designed , Great docking station which is a must have item along with the double capacity battery ,in office and home , Excellent setup with the IGO bluetooth mouse and slim keyboard , I have to admit , the fantastic mobility provided by this device beats it's con's , Yes I would buy it again knowing since what I know now .
UPDATE :-
I've contacted OQO and request to downgrade the Vista Business to XP tablet to get a better performance , They sent me the restore DVD in less than 48 Hours for Free ( I'm in Egypt - Cairo ) , I've installed it and the device performance has improved by more than 75% , I get a much faster response ,can play music in the background even movies which was impossible under the Vista .
Final Conclusion :
Excellent device ONLY with XP , the machine can't handle the Vista , If you want to get one , SAVE money and get the XP-Tablet version .

Do Not Buy This Flawed Device
I own a Model 02 OQO. My device has a built in "motherboard flaw" that causes it to "lock up" and become an unusable brick. Customer service told me they are "aware of the problem" and the tech I spoke to said he "just worked on one like it yesterday." It is amazing that they ship an expensive device like this one with such a major flaw. Worst of all, after I had to ship it back to them and after I was assured "it will be fixed quickly" THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE TWO MONTHS TO FIX THE PROBLEM before they would ship it back to me.

This is unacceptable. Do not waste your time or money on this flawed device.
