So time to get into the specifications of this Ultra portable Laptop PC. It is available in two categories like one powered with Intel core 2 Duo ULV Processor U7600 (1.2 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache) and the other one also with Intel core 2 Duo ULV Processor U7500 (1.06 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache).So the basic difference is the small computing power difference.But nevertheless this small computing power matters when it comes to do some tough job on hand.It is loaded with Mobile Intel GM965 chip set to give the best service to the consumers.

And  thats the way it appears in real life.It comes with 1GB and 2GB RAM models operating at a maximum of 533 MHz and 667MHz memory.The hard drives comes with either 60 or 80 GB operating at 4200 rpm SMART PATA.It also has the DVD +/- RW SuperMulti with double layer.It sports a 12.1-inch WXGA Widescreen with WXGA anti-glare capability and a Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, with up to 384 MB shared system memory to give the user the best in resolution aspect.

It supports 2 USB 2.0 ports,1 micophone in,1 head phone/line-out,1 external VGA monitor,1 docking connector,1 AC power ports.Comes with touch sensitive controls for volume up and down stereo microphone in.It has integrated Integrated Intel Gigabit Network Connection,Intel 802.11a/b/g draft n & Bluetooth 2.0 capability for wireless access of internet or WIFI in short.

One thing to note about this model is its six and a half hours of battery life which is really good considering its size.There is 3-cell (28 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion; 6-cell (55 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion; 9-cell (83 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion battery which as said gives a good 6.5 hours of battery life.

The only drawback with it is the computing power it comes off with.Unlike the high end laptops the limitations of this is apparent when it comes to computing performance.For general applications like office use, browsing and email it works well.The 1 and 2 GB RAM models comes as a rescue over here.It offers a limited 3 years warranty for standard parts.The starting price of the model is $1499.So you can go ahead and give a try to this Ultra portable  Laptop PC.

 The HCL infosystem would be branding them under the separate Mileap brand.

There are 3 models of MiLeap laptops:
1. MiLeap X - Rs. 13,750/-
2. MiLeap Y - Rs. 29,790/-
3. MiLeap V - Rs. 33,590/-

The Asus Eee definitely looks better.

ACi ultra-mini laptop comes with 40 GB HDD

SPECIFICATION

MiLeap X Ultra Portable Laptop:

Processor     : Intel Celeron M Processor @ 900 MHzOS                    : Linux Operating System

Chipset          : Intel 915GMS Chipset

RAM                : 512MB DDR2

Display          : 7″ (17.7 cm) Wide (800×480) TFT LCD

Storage          : 2 GB Solid State Storage Drive

Moreover it has 2 In-built Speakers, DC-IN, Headphone, Built-in Mic, SD Card Slot, LAN Port,WiFi b/g, 2xUSB ver 2.0 ports. It can operate for around 4 hours in idle condition. Its weight is around 1.44Kg.And it will be available in Indian market in three color choices , cool blue, rich black and hot pink.
Pros

• As it is Ultra Portable,you can carry it to any where. It is very light inn weight and small in size.
• Yes it feels like a Classmate PC but at a much cheaper price.
• Mileap X would be the value for money. Asus Eee would cost Rs 18,000. upwards and ACi would be available at Rs 15,000/-.I know all the three can not be compared to each other but overlooking the storage device of all three Mileap would be the value for money.
• It has the advantage that it is made for India. It is built to be tough and durable in order to meet the mobility demands in extreme Indian conditions.
• You can boot it using an external USB drive,so Windows can be used on it.

Cons

• It does not look so nice like the Asus Eee does. But this is the price you have to pay.
• The storage is very small and here the ACi ultra-mini gets the upper hand. The ACi has 40 GB hard disk,but the Mileap X has around 2 GB Solid State Storage Drive. But don’t confuse this with the ordinary “pen drive” you got,which has a limited read write cycle.

With an external drive and USB you can get over some of its disadvantages.

So if you want a Ultra portable laptop which you can use for normal application and Internet usage,then go for Mileap X. It has got strong reasons to be in your carry bag. At Rs 13,750, Mileap X is the value for money.
