Surprisingly good
Pros: Stays in place on dash Holder angle is adjustable, doesn't wiggle when locked Easy Set up No sticky residue on dashboard
Cons: Lower surface area is somewhat large, need a big area of clear dash to set it up
Overall Review: I expected it to be the condensing plastic on the bottom, but it uses some kind of high friction clothe and doesn't leave a residue. My car is a Mazda3
Not Great
Pros: Good Picture
Cons: No sound, not broken just not designed for it No RF input (even though pictured) Poorly Shielded
Overall Review: Since you have to unplug it and plug it back in, you'll probably notice the shielding is so poor that it actually puts a picture on the screen unplugged. Not a good thing if you have neighbors nearby or a bunch of systems in one room.
Terrible, but I knew that going in
Pros: Powers on fairly reliably Built in browser renders well despite being slow USB port acts as USB host, supports keyboard, (but misses keystrokes if you type above ~30 wpm) Dedicated Menu and Home button Speakers/Headphones sound okay
Cons: Slow 53 Second Boot to Lock Screen 20 Second Shutdown 8 seconds to flip orientation Touchscreen unresponsive, dragging motions rarely picked up as dragging No play store Large and Heavy still manages to feel cheap and scratch easily Clock Loses Time when battery dies Apps frequently crash, even built in ones Wifi adapter is flaky frequently sticks at "turning on" requiring tablet reboot. Battery Life
Overall Review: I would not carry this tablet around or rely on it, but it's good enough to write APKs for old versions of Android and test them on it. It's the perfect "if it'll run on this it'll run on anything" tablet. The touch screen unresponsiveness is more than it just being a resistive touchscreen. Dragging lets up when you don't; taps turn into long taps even if you don't hold them at all.
Does the Job (when kept plugged in)
Pros: Fast Never Freezes Counts down 60 seconds and shuts off if automatically when you turn off the car (if that turns off the power outlet)
Cons: Heavy (causes windshield mount to fall often, get the beanbag kind instead) Bluetooth phone microphone works poorly and cackles, speaker works fine, address book import and voice dial depend on phone had mixed results over the years. No Lane Assist
Overall Review: Battery stopped working for more than 10-15 minutes after about a year, but I always used it plugged in anyway. Mine died today (no apparent damage, won't power on) after 3 years, 2 months.
Better than Original
Pros: Works well with EEE700 and 901, charges. I've used it for nearly a year and had no problems. Also, it was cheap.
Cons: There is no indicator light of any kind. It runs pretty hot.
Overall Review: The lack of light might be thought of as a negative, but it is pretty nice sometimes, especially compared to the extremely bright blue light of the stock adapter on the 901.
