Great Upgrade for aging Xoom Tablet
Pros: Ordered this tablet tor replace my aging but functional Motorola Xoom tablet. Although this is not a 'Pure" android experience, the added features that Samsung has included can be very useful. I don't know how much I will use the stylus, but it seems to work great. The screen is incredible and it is very responsive! The size and weight is perfect. The construction seems to be very sturdy and it feels good in the hand. Overall application responsiveness is very good. The IR blaster is a welcome feature.
Cons: The first unit I got had a defective MicroSDHC slot. It caused the 32GB memory card to constantly mount and remove itself. Most internet articles suggested that this was a memory card problem. I tried a Sandisk card first and then tried a Lexar card with the same result. Replaced the tablet and used the Lexar card and it worked perfectly.
Overall Review: When you first start the tablet, go through the initial setup and check for system updates before you go any further. There were three (3) android system updates for this device. Install all 3 updates. When you are sure that the system is up to date, do yourself a favor and do a factory reset and redo the initial configuration.
Solid Build - Iffy Functionality
Pros: I love the form factor and build quality. Small steel box with easy to install drive bays. The web based management is relatively easy to use. Quiet.
Cons: Documentation is Poor! Tech support is easy to reach, but not well versed on the product. Had several frustrating issues right out of the box. Still have several open cases to do with advertised functionality. Seems like advertised add-on and built in applications sometimes don't get along well together. It was even suggested by L3 support that the built in Antivirus and Snapshot functions should not be run together. I still have not gotten the Genie app marketplace to work properly.
Overall Review: I can't say what I would recommend over this box, but this box has been a real time waster over the past couple of weeks trying to get it's advertised features to work.
Good reliable product
Pros: Works as advertised at the speed advertised
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would purchase again
What a Great Find
Pros: Relatively small footprint, nice black case, external antennas, very fast wireless, good range, easy setup, runs cool. Fantastic value for the price!
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I've bought a lot of home network routers over the years, most of which were more than double the price of this unit. I had absolutely no trouble with setup and the software has a very good feature set. The wireless is VERY fast on both wireless bands, and it has very good range. I really don't think you can beat it for the price! I'm impressed!
Very Fast - Very Satisfied
Pros: Very easy to install as an upgrade from a standard HDD. EXTREMELY fast, speeds up everything. Magician Software very useful and easy to use
Cons: The Samsung cloning software was initially a pain to install and use. See other thoughts. As always, I wish it were cheaper!
Overall Review: I installed this SSD in an existing desktop with Win7 64 bit. All you need is a SATA port and power connection and off you go. Decided I did not want to go through reinstallation of OS and software. I had issues installing the Samsung Drive Cloning Software. I tried to install the software from the included CD. Everything went fine until the installer notified that there was an updated version available and if I wanted to install it. Long story short, this interrupted the install and it took a lot of effort to remove the faulty install and start over. My suggestion (which worked fine for me) is to download the latest version of the cloning software from the Samsung website, install it and everything should run without a hitch.
So Far So Good
Pros: Fairly Comfy, Fairly Thick. Helps soften cushion on a desk chair with worn padding
Cons: Strange size. Have to adjust on every sit. Gel pouch doesn't seem to do much. We will see how long it lasts.
Item never shipped
Would not recommend. Vendor said the product was shipped and it was not. No communication at all. Finally contacted Newegg and they issued a refund. These guys are in China and no way to reach them.
