My favorite HPC

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 20:21:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I was lucky enough to get a 6651 for business use because I probably would not have bought one for myself - the price is a bit high.

This machine is targeted towards the business user who needs a laptop class machine, but does not need the...

Sharp TriPad pV-6000: Stylish, but not worth the $$

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 00:49:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I admit I am a fan of Windows CE. I like the instant on, long battery life and light weight. Nothing is perfect, and the early machines (this being one of them) just don't have what it takes. I bought this unit hoping to use it as a wireless web...

Evolutionary, not revolutionary

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 00:15:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I am not going to describe the features of the HPC platform, nor Windows CE, but instead tell you the strengths and weaknesses of this particular machine and how it compares to similar devices in its class. I currently own all of the Windows CE PocketPC...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I am a CE software developer and bought the 680 around a year ago to do software testing and use it as a portable email/internet machine. I've used/tested almost all of the available HPC/PPC's available and this is my favorite HPC. I'm not going to...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I am a software developer of CE programs and have bought/tested just about every CE device. I bought this as a software test machine and to use for remote email retrieval. This particular HPC is one of the worst I've used. The specifications make is...

Sharpest computer CRT I have ever seen

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 16:04:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I work in an office with more than 20 assorted 19/21" monitors of various brands and this has by far the best image quality. The tube is perfectly flat and looks almost concave if you're not used to a flat CRT.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I went to the store with my wife assuming we would spend $300 or so on a conservative 27" TV. We looked at all of them and came upon the Sony "Wega". It didn't take long for us to ignore our original assumptions and dive head first into...

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 18:29:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bitbank - I've been wanting a good LCD monitor for quite some time and have been waiting for the prices to drop. They are dropping, but not as fast as I would have liked. In the computer industry, prices tend to fall over time, but the basic rule is that if you...

Nice toy, nice price

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 04:08:42 GMT
