Most Favorable Review

Hot drive

Pros: Decent read/write speed. Usually around 10 Mb/s. Small design helps it fit into my USB hub. Case is hard and feels very high quality and durable.

Cons: The only con I've noticed is that the drive tends to heat up rather quickly. Just having it plugged in makes it quite warm. I'm afraid this will affect it's life span.

Overall Review: Overall, it seems to be a nice portable jump drive.

Most Critical Review

Good for... very little.

Intel BOXD525MW Intel Atom D525@ 1.8GHz (Dual Core) BGA559 Intel NM10 Mini ITX Motherboard / CPU Combo

Pros: Small, runs cool.

Cons: The cons far outweigh the pros. This boards performance with the memory maxed out is still VERY poor. Flash doesn't run without a lot of stuttering. Even 720p video runs choppy.

Overall Review: This does work as a computer. You just can't hardly do anything on it. MS Office doesn't even run well. Windows 7 has a hard time on it, as does Ubuntu. Apparently, Intel's graphics chipset doesn't get along with Linux.
