Tech Review

If you have an express card slot in your laptop, you need this product. First, unless you have a cellular card, you won't be using that express card anytime soon. Almost anything you want will connect through USB or firewire. Second, since almost all of you use your laptop for some kind of entertainment application, a remote is a very convenient addition to your tech gear. Bluetooth can be added with a USB receiver. If you're buying a new laptop, I recommend buying one with Bluetooth. Not only will it work with the Interlink remote, but you can connect Bluetooth headphones, your phone, mice, keyboards, and all other sort of gear and without adding any external receivers.

The Interlink remote charges in the card slot. All you have to do is just press a couple of buttons and it connects. The major multimedia functions are covered, fast forward and reserve; advance; volume. In addition, you can use the remote to control your Powerpoint presentations. The range is 30 feet and works through walls, unlike infrared remotes like those from Microsoft. I had no problem using any of the functions. I will, however take away half a star for not storing flush with the side of my Dell e1505.
