There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Still takes my old confuser awhile to load up .. seems like the new program has to load in every time I use it.
Other than that, there is a marked improvement in performance. My old set had quit on audio a long time ago and every attempt at fixing this called for some Intel drivers that were not available, even using the supposed Driver Update programs that I fell for a couple times. First thing I noticed with this Linux system is that I had audio again.
Also, I attempted install of Linux systems previously and never could get the wireless to work. Again, as soon as I started this new module, I had wireless.
Only negative is that Linux won't pull up my Windows programs so most of my history is sitting there unused. Also, it wont work on a lot of apps for (good) PC games. Just have to search for Linux games....
But the price is a fraction of what I spent trying to (do-it-yourself) salvage this old laptop over the last few years.
Speaking of price .. this Amazon price was pretty good. The often advertised PrairieT direct to consumer price is higher, feature to feature, unless I missed something. You do need memory in the stick, but I am a little hazy on just how the program utilizes the computer memory. I thought I had it figured out until the slow startup became apparent.
Bottom Line is that the Linux system works, but may not perform in every application.
The product took longer than usual to arrive (about 10 days through the mail). It was definitely not a simple plug & play operation and required several iterations of modifying boot settings before the Xtra-PC system started to load; however, once it did load, it came up as indicated in the online user guides and I was able to successfully complete the initialization sequence. Once loaded, the Xtra-PC system routines allowed me to test the PC hard disk and confirm that it was not functional (could not even be formatted). I was not able to recover any of the information on the PC hard drive (which I have since scrapped). I added a USB memory stick as an additional storage device and now have a limited functionality but reliable workstation on which I can at least run the native Xtra-PC system utilities and can web-browse with Chrome. Not a perfect outcome; however, much better than having to scrap and replace the entire PC.
I listen to folks say it is a rip off because everything on it is free, or open source. Yes it is. But my time is valuable to me. Sure I could build one, but why should I? These guys took the time to put together a great tool that works really well.
It works as advertised. It has saved my customers from costly bills for file recovery. I have two of them, I have given some away to other tech friends. They all appreciate it, and use it.
This is a great little tool, the price is okay. I would recommend it to anyone who needs what it can provide.
