poor quality and short warranty [Posted on 2006-10-18]
Save your money!
I got one of these devices (not a Honeywell branded, but the original manufacturer's brand, which I've forgotten) when I bought a new Dell laptop. The device worked great for the first 3 uses (not abuses!), which took place over a period of about 6 weeks. When I went to use it the fourth time, the control functions didn't work (though the laser pointer still did). I replaced the battery to see if that was the problem, but the unit still didn't work.
When I called Dell and complained, they informed me that the device was covered under the manufacturer's warranty (not Dell's). The warranty on the thing turned out to be only 30 days. So now I have a $60 laser pointer. What a bargain, eh? I'm going to buy another remote device, but certainly NOT one of these again.
Why didn't anyone come up with this before? [Posted on 2007-06-27]
I've carried presentation remotes with me for many years. They work great, but the problem is that they're generally relatively bulky, and require a case to keep both pieces together. Since I travel with a lot of electronics, bulk is a problem. The Honeywell unit works the same as any of the other units, but has a couple of real advantages. The thin, one-piece design of the Honeywell unit means that you can store it in the PC slot in your laptop so it's never lost and doesn't take up valuable real estate in your carry bag. Plus, it's often a great conversation starter during meetings, since most people ask about it when they see it.
flawed design [Posted on 2007-12-01]
works great if (a) you don't mind having to look down every time you want to click because the buttons are so small you can't keep your finger on them and (b) you don't mind your audience hearing an annoyingly loud click every time you advance the slide.
