Micron TransPort Trek2
Micron TransPort Trek2
WHAT'S HOT: Removing devices for upgrading is a snap, because you can access memory slots, the CD-ROM drive, and the hard drive without 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 to a DVD-ROM drive (for $199) lets you take advantage of the Trek2's S-Video port so you can watch movies on a television. The system runs a shade faster than other Celeron-400 portables we've tested, and it offers average battery life of about 2.5 hours. The Trek2 has both a touchpad and an eraserhead, but the latter's use as a primary input device is limited because you can't configure it (out of the box) for tapping. The eraserhead is also too far away from the two mouse buttons, which are located in front of the touchpad.
BEST USE: A desktop replacement with some top-notch audio and video features.
