| | HardwareCentral - PC Chips DeskNote A929 Test Drive. (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The DeskNote isn't very compact, but still fits tolerably between skinny slimline and ponderous desktop-replacement notebooks, measuring 11.25 by 13.25 by 1.8 inches and weighing 7.2 pounds; the external power supply/AC adapter adds another 1.6 pounds to your briefcase load. |
 | | Add that to the wind-tunnel cooling fan inside the computer, and the A929 is the noisiest notebook we've ever used, a definite distraction while you work and easily audible two office cubicles away. |
 | | And the DeskNote's overall performance is lopsided, with the Athlon XP 2200+ processor overpowering an otherwise mediocre system. |
