[15C LE etc]
As for the mechanical quality, I think the one I
received is every bit
as good as my original 15C's. The PSE bug is the only one I've heard
I beleive the 15C LE is similar in build to the latest 12C, isn;t it.
Althogh the latest 12Cs I've been inside have an epoxy-capped
direct-on-board IC, whereas the pictures of the 15CLE show it with a PQFP
soldered to the PCB. But the keybords are similar, and IMHO not as good
as the originail one. It certainly felt worse than my original 16C that I
had with me.
Incidnetlaly, do all modern 12Cs have direct-on-board ICs? If so, why was
the 15C LE built differently? Or is it that one factory making 12Cs makes
htem with direct-on-board ICs, the other factory with PQFPs?
Was the one that you tried at HPCC one of the
prototypes? They are
I'm not suppsoed to have seen the prototype :-). Seriously, I've seen
both. They don't seem that different on the outside.
saying on the HPMUSEUM forum that there are some
differences.
I believe the firmware was changed.
