3.0 out of 5 stars Hardware ok, Company stinks, August 29, 2005

Our company purchased 12 of these for our salesmen.
Mysteriously at month 11 of a 12 month warranty, the mice went banannas.
This was THE most painful repair process I have ever gone through.
Viewsonic refused to repair these, knowing this was a common defect, until I came up with proof of purchase for each one.
There are many other fine tablets out there, find one of them instead.

It would have helped if the customer who did not like this unit would have given his reasons for not liking it. I have one of these and yes, the stylus operation does take a little getting used to, but the unit itself is awesome. The battery lasts a long time between charges, the screen is easy on the eyes, the speed is fast enough... For a compact portable unit, I think it is great.

2.0 out of 5 stars Still waiting..., January 9, 2006

I ordered this in mid-october 2005 and had the with the screen when I recieved it. I called about the problem the day after I noticed it(about 2days after.)I sent it out the next day (insured mail $25). I called several times with many 2 hour waits. They took a long time "repairing" it and I finally got it back. It was missing the stylus and I had to go out and purchase another. They said they will send me one I am yet to recieve it. I noticed my computer seemed to not have been even touched. I called again and after 2 hours on hold they told me to send it back. This is when I made a big deal about it, I did not want to pay so much and wait so long again. I demanded a replacement and after I got them to agree I sent it out and they recieved it about 20 days ago. I was told this process would take less than 10 days, so much for that. I rate this product with a 2 because I like all of it's features and price, the only problem is the quality and assistance. Buyer Beware!
