These guys build low cost systems.... The cost saves is coming from a design that let's just say "wouldn't pass muster at a major notebook mfr".

The actual mfr/ODM making the system for them is actually tied well into all the major mfr's, however the major's realize one service issue extra = No money made on the device....

If you don't muck around too much and can reconfig the sw easily, it's an OK buy. Just remember you pay for what you get!
