Micron TransPort Trek2

  

Micron TransPort Trek2

WHAT'S HOT: Removing devices for safekeeping or upgrading components on the TransPort Trek2 is a snap. Memory, the CD-ROM drive, and the hard drive are all accessible without the aid of tools. You can connect multiple multimedia devices for recording and playing sound. The multipurpose bay supports a second hard drive.

WHAT'S NOT: Thin-sounding speakers don't do justice to the TransPort's impressive audio and video components.

WHAT ELSE: Upgrading the CD-ROM drive (for $199) to a DVD-ROM drive will allow you to take advantage of the S-Video port so you can watch movies on a television set. The Trek2 runs a shade faster than other Celeron-400 portables we've tested and offers decent battery life. It's one of the few laptops around with a touchpad and an eraserhead. But you can't configure the latter for tapping, so its use as a primary input device is limited. Also, you can't use the Trek2's single set of mouse buttons with the eraserhead because of the distance between the buttons and the eraserhead (the buttons are located in front of the touchpad).

BEST USE: Nice choice for small businesses looking for a reasonably priced desktop replacement with top-notch audio and video features.
