    pros and cons of mini PC?


    I am very obsessed with mini desktop PC that is like a small box. It saves a lot of space. In addition to space saving, is there any obvious advantage and disadvantage of a mini PC?

    OEM Pros/Cons

    I wanted to know what people thought of the OEMs they had to deal with mostly in regards to the following subjects:
    • Customer Service
    • Warranty Repair
    • Non-Warranty Repair
    • Driver Support
    • Customizing the Computer for Specific Needs
    • Bloatedness of new Computers
    • Inflated Price
    • Sign-Me-Ups
    • Technical Support
    • Freebies (Software on Disks--Stuff that is preinstalled goes under Bloatness)
    Fanboyism is not permitted here. Try to be focused on points that are good and bad.

    I'll start with a few...
    Dell
    Pros
    • Drivers were available when needed.
    • System Restore disks (when provided) appear to be relatively clean.
    Cons
    • Driver disks include multiple hardware configurations so you don't know exactly which drivers are needed.
    • The driver disk uses a web format which means all the shortfalls of a website (have to "save as..." everything).
    • Some of their case designs are ridiculous (folding this way and that way).
    HP
    Cons
    • Seven disks to reinstall Windows XP--bloated to the heavens.
    Toshiba
    Pros
    • Customer Service speaks English.
    • Customer Service tried their best to remedy my issues.
    Cons
    • No drivers available for my specific model (web or otherwise).
    • Customized model shipped over a week after purchase directly from China. I got the bag long before I got the laptop.
    • No disks, what-so-ever, included with laptop purchase.
    • Technical Support would not lift a finger to get me a disk that "I could install Windows Vista Ultimate from after erasing the entire hard drive with DoD 5220.22 M compliant method."
    • Over 80 running processes on first boot (and this was a business-class computer)--bloated with no erase means to get rid of it.

    Lenovo
    Pros
    • Solid construction.
    • Lots of features.
    Cons
    • Six or seven disks to reinstall windows from scratch--bloated.
    • Some included software (backup or something) caused the OS to be irreversibly damaged. One tech spent three hours to clean up some of the mess. I spent another four hours erasing, installing, and deleting everything that may have originally caused the problem (Lenovo software).
    • Warranty extensions are extremely expensive.
    • Generally more expensive than most.

    Systemax
    Pros
    • All systems include at least one disk: System Restore (basically a Windows disk--no extras).
    • Most systems include an additional disk: Applications & Driver (is what it says).
    • Solid construction.
    • Most parts included in machines you could buy from Tiger Direct (obviously not the case with laptops).
    • Customer Service and Tech Support speak English.
    • Customer Service is very helpful.
    • Every time I contacted Tech Support, I recieved a favorable outcome.
    • Machine-specific bundled software (very limited). For instance, a computer with a TV Tuner may come with Cyberlink software to run record and watch TV.
    • Sent CDs via phone request for software that came pre-installed (lost after erase).
    Cons
    • Limited selection of products and very few places to buy them from.
    • Generally more expensive than the competition.
    • Technology-wise, tends to be slightly behind the curve.
    • Techsupport is quick to have you send it in and don't seem to be a wealth of knowledge.
    • Service turn-around times are long (over a week).

    Add to the list. This is a buyer-beware service. XD

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Pros and Cons

    Dear All,



    I bought New Nokia Lumia 800 on 18th Nov 2012 in Chennai... I feel that the phone looks good and design are great.. But it is not user friendly... Please find my Input... If I am wrong, please correct it...

    Pros :thumbsup:

    • Good design
    • Fast Access than Android device
    • Clear Sound and loud speaker are also good...
    • Headphone are grit...

    Cons ::thumbdown:

    • Battery life
    • Camera is not up to the mark...
    • Business card can't support
    • We are not able to set a favorite songs as a ringtone...
    • We are not able to transfer Documents (Word/Excel) directly from PC to Phone...
    • Zune software are support only Media files...
    • Contacts are synchronize through windows ID... (Hot mail Or Live ID) only not through Nokia Suite... It is a big minus for Lumia series... We need internet to Synchronize our Contacts...
    • Windows live ID can support only CSV format for contacts... It is a tedious process to convert your Contacts (Vcard to CSV)....


    My suggestion is If u are really impress with Lumia 800 and you are sacrifice the above said information in Cons section, then buy this phone otherwise go with other device...



    Regards
