The biggest fear I had about my Kohjinsha SH6 was that its performance was going to be completely inadequate to replace my Electrovaya Scribbler Tablet PC as my work computer. I would have purchased a UMPC that was simply not up to that job and would have wasted my money. That fear has proved to be completely unfounded!
As the video clearly shows the SH6 is completely capable of running multiple Microsoft Office applications at the same time at a very reasonable performance level. This is exactly what I do in my normal work day. Most of the my workday Office applications are started up in the morning, stay in memory all day long, and are then used as required.
In the video I give credit to the SH6’s 2GB of memory for this, but I also think that the unit’s graphic processor should be given lots of credit as well. It’s obviously able to offload a huge amount of processing from the CPU.
In any case it looks like my money has been well spent. I’ve got a unit that works well in my work environment (hooked up to full keyboard, mouse, and monitor), at the hotel (with only the addition of a small travel mouse), or on the plane (watching movies and/or TV shows while hooked up to Bose noise-cancelling headphones). My Tablet is going to just stay home from now on!

Well, you just convinced me to go out and get another 1 GB of RAM for my laptop. It’s a “new” Gateway (a cheap retail model…nothing special) that I got earlier this month. It has a 2.2 Ghz AMD Turion 64 CPU (single core) and it’s running Vista Home Premium, but it only has 1 GB of RAM.
Your little video there shows your UMPC outperforming my laptop. I guess it’s all in the RAM.
Scott,
I think it’s it all in the RAM and the GPU!
