I hardly think we're expecting a laptop performance. But slowing down after a few hours? That just sounds like a cheap Chinese tablet in my book. Like one of those iPad knockoffs. But then again, that is essentially what this is though.
A cheap Chinese clone tablet that has hardware and software to support car's native functions.
Now, the sticker comment. That's the reason that third party manufacturers exist. Or even third party distributors that get the exact same parts from the same factory, but sell it at much less of a mark up.
It's like getting service done at the dealership vs an indie. You cannot honestly say that an indie is always worse than dealership in terms of service. In fact, I'd say there are more problems with dealership service than indie many times.
I think people were hoping this would be something along those lines in that it'd be a high quality tablet sold by a Chinese or whatever company that is able to sell it at a lower markup than MB or whatever big companies can due to not having to worry about making a car or running TV ads or anything like that.
BUT obviously it just turned out to be something I mentioned in the beginning, a cheap Chinese clone tablet that has hardware and software to support car's native functions.
So I'd say it is quite disappointing.
In case I was not clear enough in my wording, it's like buying Safeway brand tissues rather than actual Kleenex; you don't expect Safeway brand to be exactly the same, but at least on the same level. But in this case it's like the Safeway brand tissues just dissolved after sitting in storage for a few hours.
Just a thought.
