X-ONE Roca B70M1 – Review

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

xoneroca_mag_140A Netbook should be small and compact, but X-ONE is an example that it might be too small – and then the screen is very disappointing.

X-ONE has a screen of only seven inches, and it is really very small. So small that the screen feels completely klaustrofobisk to find around. At the same time, the screen as a bad viewing angle, you should not tilt your head to the side much before the picture deteriorates significantly.

The idea is that the small screen can be rotated completely around and tilted down over the keyboard, so the computer can be used as an electronic writing pad.
The machine has an enclosed pen, you can use to navigate on the screen.

Unfortunately, ordinary touch-screen and not electrostatic. This means that the mouse reacts equally well on the pen as in the parts of your hand which by accident have touched the screen. And it makes it very awkward to sit relaxed.

If you choose to use X-ONE as an ordinary computer keyboard is simply too small. It is so small that it feels as if you try to write with mittens on. But that’s obviously good to touch the computer, which is the size of a postage stamp.

The machine is equipped with Windows Vista, but has not been provided with additional programs beyond those already built into the system.

Conclusion
One Netbook should be small and compact, but X-ONE is an example that it might be too small – and then the screen is very disappointing.

Razer Proclick Mobile Mouse – Review

Monday, March 30th, 2009

razerpro_mag_140The mouse is both robust and accurate, it is easy to install and a good choice for a mouse on the go.

This small mouse does not make much of itself when it is next to the laptop.

Modes are nice and round, and the mouse is good between the fingers, whether you’re right-or left-handed. It feels very solid, the plastic quality is good and clicked when the mouse button pressed down, is firm and reassuring.

The connection to the computer via Bluetooth, and since there is no USB gimmick or like the mouse, so it requires that your machine already has built-in Bluetooth. Has it shall return no more than a few clicks of the mouse before the computer does and it is ready for use. An active Bluetooth connection to the mouse drag obviously something from the computer battery life, but in our tests not so significantly that it was a problem.

We have not been able to get the exact battery for your mouse and it is not possible to monitor its battery level. The mouse takes advantage of Windows’ built-drivers and the resulting software is not included in the package. Now Razer makes great software to their spillemus, we would have liked the ability to use it here. But we get the precision that Razer is known for and it makes the mouse a very good piece of work tools.
