Digital camera Review: A Luxury Pointer with a Luxury Price
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Kensington laser pointer definitely has the feel of quality about it. It's a weighty little device with an ergonomic design that makes it very comfortable to hold. My first problem was that you have to hold the laser button down constantly when using the laser which seems like a rather poor design decision. During a long presentation I can definitely imagine someone's thumb getting fatigued and for the life of my I can't imagine why it doesn't just feature a toggle switch.
Having a 1GB flash drive is a great idea that serves two purposes. You can store quite a few presentations and it allows you some limited control of your laptop. The flash drive docks neatly inside the device and springs out with a slight push. The left and right arrows on the pointer are mapped to your computers `Page Up' and `Page Down' buttons. I ran a PowerPoint Presentation with the laser pointer and you can use the left and right buttons to flip to the next or previous slide. What I don't understand is the "Black Screen" button. That is how it is labeled in the manual and it does indeed turn the screen black. I would think that a device with just four buttons could find something better to do with one of them than just make the screen black.
Now a 1 GB flash drive can be purchased for almost nothing so I'm not sure how Kensington came up with a price point of $75 but that definitely makes this a luxury pointer. My last gripe is with the instruction manual which is positively anemic. I only learned two things, the name of the "Black Button" (an explanation of its use was not included) and the fact that when the flash drive is docked the device is turned off. Actually it also made the claim that with normal usage the pointer should get 1 year of normal use from the batteries that come with the unit. We shall see. The manual may be lacking in detail but lord I've never seen one with such a complete set of language translations. There were languages I've never even heard of.
It's a slick looking device that looks and feels impressive but I think it's a bit more form and a bit less function. I do like the matte black finish. The only advantage I can see over a cheap pointer and a regular flash drive is the ability to flip through slides from a distance and that might or might not be enough. Presentations are often about impressing and for an executive a $75 pointer may be worth the price.
