The bulk of the reviews that are posted for this little stick computer are generally quite positive and I would certainly have to concur.  It is a great little unit and it was just what the doctor ordered for my application.  It's performance was better than I expected and it worked perfectly for me.  HOWEVER, here's the rub.  I have purchased 2 of these computers and have sent both back for having died within 30 days of the purchase !  When the first one died, I sent it back and replaced it with a new one.  I just figured that "Oh Well - I got a dud".  But Twice??!!  I would really like to replace this one with the same thing, but I got the message. These little critters just don't last - at least not for me.  I'm replacing this second one with something else.  Anyway, that has been my experience and I wanted to share it.  I'm sorry it didn't pan out.  I really liked the unit.  If you decide to buy it then I would DEFINITELY recommend the extended warranty!  I think you would be foolish not to get it.  OK - there you have it!!  Good luck.  I hope this helped.
