NEC's little wonder
Article Abstract:
NEC Computer Systems' MobilePro 750C Windows CE-based handheld computer is comfortable to work with; the keyboard is small and requires some adapting to, but can be typed on. The 7.3-inch screen is adequate for word processing and other basic taskss. NEC preinstalls Windows CE 2.0 along with the scaled-down Pocket Word word processor, Pocket Excel spreadsheet and Pocket PowerPoint presentation program. All three applications can exchange files with their desktop counterparts and use a familiar Windows 95-like interface. The entire package weighs less than 1.5 pounds. Screen brightness is adjustable, and there is a built-in VGA ouptut port that unfortunately works only with PowerPoint presentations. The MobilePro, which offers most of the functionality of a full notebook, is larger than most other handheld PCs (HPC) but smaller than Windows CE-based notebooks.
