Performance, Practicality and Conclusion We will first look at how the Alto performs and its suitable alternatives or rather ways to tackle the above mentioned problems. As mentioned earlier the keyboard is tactile and comfortable to use, so full marks to that. The angle at which the stand holds the laptop is perfect and I found myself looking straight at the LCD no matter what the size of the screen. So again full marks for that. The only problem I faced was with the distance created between me and the screen. I found the screen a little far for my liking making it a little strenuous to read text. You can tackle this problem by increasing the font size, but I would have still liked the screen to be a little closer. Now, at Rs. 9,995, the Alto stand is a very expensive thing to own but then one has to ease the inconvenience, so let’s look at what else can be done. Lets first cater to the keyboard problem. I first used a 14.1-inch mainstream laptop. The footprint was big enough to accommodate a normal sized keyboard minus the number pad. I faced no inconvenience whatsoever to typing and was comfortable with it right away. So unless you own an ultra-portable laptop, the keyboard size shouldn’t be a problem. Next step, the perfect position for long working hours. Again, I started with the 14.1-inch mainstream laptop. I just had to increase the height of my chair a little and then tilt the screen to find a comfortable position. But then I was still looking down a little which might cause strain after long hours of work. So here, the Alto stands holds good. But then for around Rs. 9,995 I can get a 17-inch LCD and a keyboard for Rs. 300 extra. I just have to connect the monitor and the keyboard to the laptop and I have desktop like set-up ready. In fact for around Rs. 10,600, you can get a 17-inch wide-screen monitor. Yea the only thing, is that the set-up is not portable. The Alto would be an ideal companion if you would be extensively using your laptop at home and at office. The Alto comes with a five year warranty. |
