Dream’eo Enza

Microsoft Portable Media Center (PMC) devices are few and far between, and the Enza is the latest to hit the shelves.

Despite its clever interface, we took exception to the physical shape of the Enza, which never felt right in our hands.

The 3.5in screen (320 x 240 resolution) is of a good standard, but we were alarmed by its extreme sensitivity to touch. Even light contact resulted in pressure smudges that took several seconds to disappear.

With a 20GB hard drive, it can store around 80 hours of video, but battery life is disappointing at just three hours for video and six hours for audio.

If you’re after a portable video player, the Archos AV400 is cheaper and has far more features.
