Transcend T sonic 850 Reviews

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — April, 2008



Transcends T.sonic 850 tried to introduce several new features in hopes of getting ahead of the media player race. However, several drawbacks stopped the media player in mid-flight. First off, its bland design which the reviewer stated won’t win any awards. Even the D-Pad felt cheap. The loading screen did not do the bright 1.8-inch display justice, as it was heavily pixelated. The main menu, however, showed modern interface and icons. The T.sonic is compatible with Linux, Mac and Windows and lets you drag and drop tracks in the device. Music sounded loud through the bundled earbuds, and photos looked decent. What sets it apart from other media player is the ability to turn it into a digital key for your notebook. It also features a voice activated recorder which, when used, can automatically begin recording when it registers a sound and pause itself when it can’t detect noise. It also has a Partition feature, though the reviewer stated that they couldn’t get it working despite many attempts. To sum it up, the reviewer recommends that you save your money and look somewhere else if you are looking for a value media player.
Pros:
-Can lock laptops
-Affordable
-Compatible on major platforms

Cons:
-Outdated design
-Partition feature not working
