Alienware HUB Docking Sound System - A look at the controls
(Page 4 of 6 )
For such a small device, the controls and ports are all over the place. For example, the Power, input selector, and volume controls are available on the front of the unit.
In comparison, the TruBass, Focus, SRS, and headphone ports are on the right hand side, near the back.
And found on the left rear, are the power, line-in, and A/V OUT ports.
Now, I would expect to find the power, line-in, and A/V ports on the back of the unit. But the sound controls and the headphones? The placement of these controls, while geometrically similar to the power and audio I/O, just seem like they are in the wrong place. This seems to be a case where the look and feel of the device was more important than the usability.
