Budget Gaming Laptop Shootout
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 04/25/2001 12:35 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
3D Spotlight has posted a review on two Mobile-Celeron laptops that are selling in great quantities, the Celeron 500 based FIC A430 and the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270/ 4310.
The Toshiba employs a Logitech Trackpoint device (nipple), from my previous experiences, once the user gets used to it, is very easy to use and provides with a comfortable position. However it is very hard to use the first few times, and I found myself loosing the cursor quite a few times. The inclusion of scroll buttons however is a great bonus, and they come-in very useful for web browsing, especially considering the 800x600 resolution.
On the FIC we have the standard “Alps Glidepoint” touchpad, which can be used straight away, and has near perfect sensitivity. It didn’t feel quite as good as those on the high end machines you see in the likes of Dixon´s, it doesn’t have any scroll capability and you cannot tap it to click or double click, it is still good enough for light operation though.
