New Compact Computer Pushes Limits of Mobile Productivity

By Julia Hall

One way that people are always trying to push new technology forward is by packing more and more useful features into smaller and smaller packages. This has been achieved yet again with the introduction of a new portable computer called the S-XGen Ultra Mobile Personal Computer and Communications Device.

This computer, which is made by Seamless Wi-Fi, has a variety of very respectable features. For example, it has 256 megabytes of RAM, a twenty gigabyte hard drive, and an Intel processor that runs at 520 megahertz. Now, you're probably wondering why a computer with specs like that is being touted as "respectable" and why such a thing is implied to be a technological break though. Actually, the S-XGen's features are extremely impressive when you learn that at about six inches long, it's small enough to fit into a pocket and weighs in at only fourteen ounces, but unfolds to reveal a screen that's over four inches across and a keyboard that's almost the same size as a normal computer keyboard.

Besides obviously being designed for extreme portability, the S-XGen is also designed for extreme productivity. The very functional keyboard is part of this setup along with a variety of other features. For example, the pre-installed Microsoft Mobile Office suite comes with a variety of word processing, spreadsheet, email, and presentation functionality that will keep just about anyone productive no matter where they go.

If productivity also means collaboration, then this device will satisfy the need to stay connected to with just about every kind of networking technology imaginable built into it. It has wireless technologies of both the Blue Tooth and WiFi variety built into it, along with an Ethernet port. In addition to ways to connect to the Internet and Local Area Network's, the S-XGen Ultra Mobile Personal Computer and Communications Device comes with a USB port to allow it to connect to just about any device imaginable including printers, digital cameras, scanners, and a lot of more specialized devices. On top of all of those other ways to stay connected the S-XGen is also a mobile phone.

Since the hardware and software of the S-XGen Ultra Mobile Personal Computer and Communications Device are obviously designed for the ultimate in a marathon of productivity and communication, the device obviously needs a power source equal to the rest of its design. This compact miracle of mobile computing doesn't disappoint in that way either with a battery that exceeds anything else the computer industry has been able to come up with so far by supplying the S-XGen with up to eight hours of power. That's plenty for getting a full day's work done- and then some- without going hunting for a recharge or a spare battery.

Just in case you get done with the work before the battery dies, besides surfing the Internet or catching up on your email, you can also use the S-XGen to play video games. In all this device is a great option for portable productivity, connectivity, and entertainment that can't be beat in terms of size, versatility, and longevity.
