I agree...


I agree with the author. I bought one of these and hated it. CompUSA wouldn't take it back, and neither would ViewSonic. The main issue is definitely the OS, but ViewSonic support told me that they CHOSE not to put the additional modules onto this thing to make it more functional. Very poor.

They also told me that they will not be offering any kind of a software upgrade to it. I would love for the LINUX community to get together and hack this thing and put a real OS on it.

Verdict

The airpanel V150's many flaws are mostly the fault of Microsoft's Smart Display specification, but ViewSonic could have made more effort to ease the pain -- which is considerable.
