The Numbers Like the Visor
Pro , PocketMark 0.2.1 gives the Visor Neo a 168 rating overall (168/170/164)
compared to a 125 rating (129/101/132) for the Visor Deluxe. To test
real-world usage, I had Star
Pilot refresh its grayscale night sky view on City magnitude setting
with constellation lines turned on. The Visor Neo took five seconds
to finish, while the Visor Deluxe took fourteen seconds. Under Rural
magnitude (where more stars are calculated and drawn), the Neo took 14
seconds and the Visor Deluxe took 1:06. That is a dramatic improvement
for Visor Deluxe users that move to the Visor Neo.
The Cradle
The
Visor Neo has the coolest cradle yet for a Visor. The cradle is completely
clear -- not translucent like the ice cradle (I didn't remove the background
from the picture here because I didn't want readers to think that the cradle
was tinted). This cradle works with all Visors except the Prism and
Edge, and is the perfect cradle for Mac users that have a Cinema
Display and/or the Pro speakers .
And because it is clear, the Neo's cradle looks great with other Visors
like the Visor Pro. The Visor Neo has the standard Visor form factor
and will work with any accessories that work with the Visor Deluxe.Usability >>
