Everything in a small package
Pros: Plays an assortment of file types, works as either a mass-storage unit or media-transport so any software can load songs. I'm already found out it is also hackable and capable of running http://rockbox.org
Cons: Changing and usb plug isn't standard. Player only charges via usb->sandisk cable and places device in a non-playing state while charging. Might cause issues for others while using it in a car.
Bios disables features
Pros: It's fast, light, and runs longer on battery than most netbooks.
Cons: AMD C60 processor has all the features a current desktop chips would. While slower to save battery, it does have many of the features removed from the alternative Atom chips. However Acer has disabled AMD-Virtualization in the BIOS with no means to enable.
Overall Review: It would be a perfect netbook if manufactur's software was better.
Bad Software/Firmware
Pros: Card is fast with many options for ports
Cons: Software is garbage, firmware clashes with onboard devices on two separate motherboards boards. There is no support for recent Linux kernels. The "Open source driver" on their page is just a wrapper for a half dozen binary files.
Extra Geek
Pros: More than enough power for ROHS doing everything a soldering iron needs to do. Extras include a magnetic switch hidden behind the faceplate to calibrate, lock, and change C/F. So much geeky over engineering, magnets and hidden switches.
Cons: A bit pricey, iron doesn't swap with welder's other pens, requiring only the PES51. If it only was a bit cheaper I'd give it five stars.
Overall Review: Picture doesn't include the magnet on a stick. Magnets, how do the work, can't explain that.
Junk, did not connect to any of 5 devices
Junk. It did not connect to my Samsung phone, my brothers LG phone, a HTC, Iogear usb bluetooth adapter, old usb belkin adapter. Nothing. It's just junk. It does show up at ready to pair, however it does not with "1234", "0000", "6789", or any other number tried.
