Pocket Reform in use
====================

My position at work have been changed from June 3 to a more challenging
one. Thus the frequency of my posts might decrease even more.

Anyway, it means more travelling, too. So the Pocket Reform [1] laptop
can be useful more than I originally thought. Its orthogonal keyboard
is quite nice (not as hard to use as I feared) but some keys are hidden
and I need to learn how to access them. Also the Czech accents can be
complicated (but I still have to try the Czech layout).

The screen is nice and the keyboard backlight is both nice and easy 
to configure. The machine is faster than the original Reform 2 (with
its original CPU which of course can be upgraded).

At the moment there still are a few issues:

- no suspend for the default CPU
- quite a big power consumption in idle/off (there is a switch to disconnect
  batteries, however)
- battery life (it is said to be about 4 hours and it seems to be true)
- some WiFi instability when signal is low (worse than the Reform 2) but
  I think I can use an external antenna to fix this

Anyway, it's a good machine for use in trains, for example. 


P.S. Written in train on the Pocket Reform.
