Questionable Ratings
Rating: 2/5 2008-12-24
I own a Pepper Pad and question some of the people who rate it with 5 stars - especially those who post the exact same comment on multiple websites that review this device. Makes me wonder if they have a vested interest in the product.

I liked the Pepperpad but it was not very sensitive to WiFi signals. Because of this, I returned the unit and am awaiting a refund.
With the price of laptops dropping and having full compatibility with everything on the Web, I found the Pepperpad an expensive unit with little usefulness. The instant on and infrared remote features were in its favor but again, the weak WiFi capability caused me to say good bye to the Pepperpad.
Exorbitant and USELESS

I bought this item in april during a promotion for my brothers graduation thinking it would make a perfect gift for him since he always loathes the heavy laptops. The item is lightweight and ultra portable. full marks here to it. BUT!! THATS ABOUT IT! BESIDES THAT THIS ITEM IS A PIECE OF CRAPPP.

THE KEYS ARE DAMN FRIGGIN HARD TO PRESS. PROCESSOR IS ULTRA-SLOW. I COULD MAKE A CUP OF CAPPUCCINO WHILE IT OPENED THE BROWSER. THE DARN THING KEPT OF HANGING EVERY 5-10 MINS. THE BATTERY LIFE IS LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER FULL CHARGE. I MUST HV RESTARTED IT A ZILLION TIMES IN 2 DAYS AND THEN GAVE UP. IT WOULD NOT PLAY ONLINE MUSIC COS THE COMPANY DID NOT ADD CODECS IN THE SOFTWARE. SOLD IT ON EBAY FOR 50 BUCKS LESS. THANK GOD DIDNT GIFT IT MY BRO OR WUD HV GOTTEN A A** KICKING OF A LIFETIME.
DO NOT BUY THE PEPPER PAD!
