Casio Cassiopeia A-20 review

Verdict

Not as flashy or cutting edge as HP's 620LX HPC, but the Cassiopeia still has all the advantages of Windows CE 2 in a workable package.

Review Date: 1 Feb 1998

Reviewed By: Stuart Andrews

Price when reviewed: (£500 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
4 stars out of 6

All the same, even in mono it's difficult to ignore the new-found potency of WinCE 2. When using my Series 3c, I'm always aware of moving from a PC to an alien device. With the Cassiopeia, it's much more like moving from one PC to a different smaller one. It hasn't got the real PC feel that the HP 620LX boasts, but it's not far off. It's also lighter, smaller and significantly cheaper. Given the choice I'd still plump for a Psion Series 5 and save a little money, but if you want Windows in the palm of your hand this is a usable alternative.
