Portable: ECS i-buddie 4 Review :: Conclusion

Author: Doc Overclock · 06-28-2002 · Category: Hardware -

Here at the end I find myself smiling as the I-Buddie is a lot of fun and can be used by the professional on the go due to its computing power and actually can be used as a low level gaming machine since the graphics are moderate but effective.

This machine is a crossover product in the way that it can be used for both your main PC and as a portable laptop unit as well. I was very impressed with how simple it was to work on opposed to most portables I have seen and tinkered with. Good job ECS!

The Good

It is very well priced and has enough features to satisfy most users as a very viable portable PC solution. It was a very stable unit.

The Bad

It did not come with a battery and does get a little hot

The Ugly

Finding service may be a bit difficult.
