Damn what happened bro?


You were so excited... Lol

Wow that's not cool.. You buy something then decide you don't want it and refuse it? You're going to make the seller eat shipping costs and wasted his time...

It took almost three weeks to arrive. The seller told me he would originally send it via EMS but instead shipped it out via hongkong post. I researched more about these little devices and came to conclusion that it will break after a couple of months due to overheating issues..

Hmm....I think it will be cheaper for you to purchase used laptops..

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything until after you got it because you seemed pretty excited about it and I didn't want to ruin it if you were happy with it, but I remember when the Iphone 3g clones were first mass produced and advertised at a third the price. There were lots of videos distributed and as you opened the box and first took them out you could hardly tell the difference between it and the real thing. But then after as little as a couple days people were reporting that the microphone and speaker stopped working all together and then after a couple weeks it wouldn't turn on at all. As I always say, never get counterfeit electronic goods - there are a lot worse stories.

Actually I'm using a new laptop w/ vmware so don't really have much need for used laptops anymore but I like the idea of having an ipad clone for my car due to it's size and shape. They have alot of good reviews on them at shanzai.com guess it depends on which model you get since some are better than others.

Ya thats what I thought. I have bought electronics from China and they do the job, but pretty short term. Must be inferior materials all around in the circuit boards because even simple electronics don't last. Didn't think one that was running a CPU and software would fair well

I seen some tablets in the store and I think a small netbook would be more use. but thats just me.
