This Tablet PC cost me several hours that I’ll never get back. I so wanted it to work because I am tired of iPad’s lack of Flash. With Windows, I know that I can get to Flash sites. This product simply doesn’t deliver.
* Integrated high-speed Wi-Fi
If 4-minutes to load a simple text-only webpage is “fast” then okay. There seems little “high-speed” about this unit. Its touch screen is unresponsive. Type something and it takes a second or two for each character to appear. Press PAGE DOWN and you think the machine is stalled because it does nothing for a minute or two.
* Genuine Windows 7 Starter
No, the unit that Amazon sent had Home Premium. It sort of made the upgrade to Home Premium that I bought a waste of time and money.
* VeriFace facial recognition technology – a fun way to log in to your PC
Fun? Not so much fun actually. The setup for VeriFace tried scanning my face for 18 minutes before I gave up and went to do something else.
* Get online in seconds with Quick Start 2.0
Bogus marketing hype dreamed up by somebody who never actually touched the unit. There is nothing “quick” about this machine. What’s more, the web part of Quick Start uses some proprietary browser. It isn’t IE or Firefox or any mainstream name. The Quick Start name-server system (DNS) does not exist. “www.facebook.com does not exist” (really?) It forgets website locations between hops: go to page A on the site, and everything is great. Try to go to page B, the browser can’t find the website. This is an awesome idea that could let you get into one or more common applications without booting the entire operating system. Unfortunately, Quick Start is unusable.
