Hands On HCL Mileap Y Series tablet UMPC
| After repeated delays I finally got my Mileap V tablet UMPC in my hand after a long wait, the HCL guys weren’t just not ready to give it as they just had one piece with them, according to them I am the first retail customer in the city to lay hands on the Mileap V series, I took the Version loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium version Called the Mileap V the version loaded with Linux is technically known as Mileap Y. | ![]() |
My first impressions its surprisingly small and looks beautiful, the build quality that I was a bit worried about is great, my wife after seeing it for the first time was a bit pessimistic and said can you even work on this its so small, Surprisingly it runs Vista pretty comfortably but don’t expect it to fly or play games on the same, the boot times are a bit long upto a minute and a half but after that you can run applications simultaneously and it work pretty well for the size, it connected to my WiFi router without any issues.
Lets start with the Unboxing of the HCL Mileap Laptop!

It came in a handy box as shown above, first impressions the box is light weight.

There lies the Mileap laptop first impressions its so small and indeed it is.
