RE: Philips Pronto TSU-2000 Review

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

3D performance is OK but not superb ... it's a NeoMagic chipset driving a
1024 x 480 display which I don't know the hardware 3D capabilities of but
the display is absolutely superb.

I believe that the current spec is something like a P3 500 however mine is
quite old and is only a P2 266.

One word of warning though ... the battery life is abysmal. An hour or
less.
The price you pay for a very portable machine. (It even fits in my jacket
pocket - just!)

Phil,

What is the processor performance like on that beast, and does it have a 3D
accelerator built in. I'd like a portable platform to run my remote control
helicopter simulator, and it needs both a fast processor, and 3D
accleration.

Tim.
