The W5fe’s primary 12.1 inch widescreen display, featuring a standard 1280 x 800 native resolution, delivers bright, crisp images and passable DVD video quality. There’s enough screen real estate for most productivity tasks, including editing documents side by side and working in multiple windows.
The SideShow concept shows promise. The secondary display, with a 320 x 240 resolution, is more than adequate for checking your calendar, reading e-mail (Windows Mail only, a new feature that comes with Vista), checking stock prices, and playing music files from Windows Media Player 11. Unfortunately, we found the interface somewhat clumsy: The enter, back, and menu buttons, the On/Off switch, and the four-way rocker switch are all intuitive enough, but navigating through the menus is confusing and inefficient. The selection of downloadable gadgets for SideShow is pretty slim at the moment, but we hope that improves soon.
