TERRIBLE

(1 out of 5) by Calli Burns on Dec 21, 2003 (Fair Oaks, CA United States)
It is very rare to be able to play a dvd the whole way through. Inevitably, at a peak moment in the movie, it will freeze and skip. Once that starts happening, forget it. It will never recover, so the only option is to shut it down. Even then, good luck in getting it going again. I am not sure why it skips. At first I thought it was due to movement, but seems to be able to take movement for the most part, and will skip even when perfectly still. I have also tried cleaning the discs, but that doesn't seem to help. I have decided that it is because this player is a piece of junk. It is so frustrating trying to watch something and have it act up for no apparent reason. I have been tempted to toss the thing against the wall many times. If you are in the market for a portable dvd player, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. Buy a laptop or a more reliable portable dvd player instead. We won this dvd player from a technology conference, so the only comfort we have is that it was free.

Junk

(1 out of 5) by Paul Calderaro on Oct 25, 2003 (Edison, NJ United States)
This thing broke beyond repair after minimal usage. It runs hot and is very heavy. The battery life is not acceptable.

Buy a cheap laptop instead.

Clunky and poor resolution

(2 out of 5) by cnsf on Jan 11, 2003 (Westchester, NY USA)
Got this item excitedly (price and specs) and opened it to find it had a defective pixel in the screen. I also noticed the resolution was poor (lots of pixelation-like artifacts) and the thing was just big and clunky.

Not recommended for those that were looking for a bargain, but could afford a little more.
