Pros: A reasonably compact 3-spindle unit that won't break the bank. Up front, looks like a good unit.
Cons: Question of keyboard decal durability & origin of manufacturer.

| lungdoc's Full Review: Micron Transport ZX |
This is an interesting machine. It took a bit over 3 weeks to arrive. In fact, by the time it arrived, a faster (700 MHz)unit was out. The company provided a price reduction for the delay. The unit appears fast and reasonably constructed, though I have only used it a few days. The keyboard has a nice feel, even compared to my Toshiba & Compaq units. The letters & other symbols are applied as decals, and I'm not sure how well they'll hold up with time. Of interest, the keyboard layout, function keys, BIOS setup and controls mimic those of my Samsung SENS810, raising a question of who really manufactured this unit. There is no separate volume control (as w/Toshiba), requiring software or keyboard combination strokes (which may temporarily slow or stop processing). The screen (15 +")is excellent with no pixel errors. A full complement of ports including TV out, 2 USB ports, and built in condensor microphone add to usability. A magnesium alloy composite case appears sturdy. As with many PIII units, the base does tend to become warm with use, though this is not intolerable, and not grossly worse than my Celeron 400 machine.
