Micro Express 259iA1 Review

by Carla Thornton

- The Micro Express 259iA1, a 15.4-inch wide-screen notebook, has an attractively plain design. A wide silver lid, a big black keyboard, and the borderless touchpad floating in the wrist rest all contribute to a minimalist effect. The 7-pound laptop's wedge shape slims it to a pleasing 1-inch height in front. The screen offers a native resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels, which should be just right for most people. Windows icons at their default size settings are smallish but eminently readable. The 259iA1 provides more detail than many 15.4-inch laptops with lower resolutions do, yet its display is easier to read than some screens with resolutions of 1920 by 1200.
