Logitech Cordless Desktop Express Review

By Ian Bell July 10, 2004

Quote from the review:

“I came through at the end with mixed feelings about this setup. While the keyboard and mouse both appealed to me on an aesthetic-level, what with their nice stylings and limited use of desktop real-estate, they had a few flaws that can’t be ignored. For the keyboard, the new layout may take sometime to get used to, but of somewhat more importance was the slightly sluggish response I noted sometimes. For the mouse, the reduced refresh rate can be a minor annoyance as well. While I can’t recommend this set to anyone who absolutely *must* have the most out of their keyboard and mouse (for them, Logitech has other options available), I can recommend it to someone who just wants a plain-and-simple cordless setup that’s easy to use and doesn’t want to be hassled by extra unnecessary features.”

I review laptops for a living, and these are two under $1,000 I always recommend

Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 front view showing display and keyboard.

Midrange laptops have undergone a quiet renaissance, with options in the $1,000 range (or slightly less) offering performance, build quality, and displays that rival laptops costing twice as much a few years go. If your budget is limited, but you still need a great laptop, you're in luck.

Two recent laptops I reviewed fall into this category. The Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 and Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 offer the same fast Meteor Lake chipsets and excellent OLED displays, but they're not identical. Which wins in a head-to-head comparison?
