Aplux Reviews

I use one of these to haul arround a new Mac iBook computer. Currently it contains the computer, it's power supply, a car and plane power supply, two external hard drives (VST 20 Gig firewire) A high quality analogue to digital convertor (M-audio), it's power supply (huge!), a flashlight, two large reinforced nylon bags with audio and digital cables (ethernet, usb, firewire, telephone), maybe 12 to 15 total, but they are thick heavy cords, a compact flash reader, a hotsync cable for palm, a full size mouse, a mini usb hub a couple of manilla file folders, headphones (two sets 1 medium one small) and a short stack of CDRs. Even with all of this stuff inside the bag looks and works great!! The main section zips completely open, and lays flat for total access to the computer. The area where the laptop goes is lined in synthetic fleece, and extra padded bumpers can be velcro'd in all around the laptop to fit it exactly, while providing superior protection. A velcro strap holds the computer snugly. on the outside (of the inner section) is a slot pocket (where the hard drives go). To the outside of this is a deep pocket covered by a leather flap with velcro fastener, there are also 5 or 6 smaller pockets in this section for flashlight, Palm, some cables etc.The back section unzips but only opens about 25 degrees, forming an expanding accordion-file folder with divider. The outside of the case on this side has one of those slots for slipping over the handle on luggage with built in wheels. This bag looks great, the black "Nappa" leather sides match perfectly with the (synthetic??) center section and piping. The feet keep the bag slightly up off the floor, the handle is very sturdy and slip resistant padded leather. The shoulder strap is very flexible and is clearly built to last. A very sturdy and capacious bag that looks like it cost a bundle. This is a great bag! Looks good too!

An extremely spacious, durable, and affordable bag. I was very impressed with the beauty of this product and the amount of compartments that it has. I use it to carry my laptop, mouse, webcam, digital camera and alot of other supplies that I may need for my classes. I would highly recommend this product as the best buy. If you're thinking about purchasing this bag go ahead, i'm sure you will be 100% satisfied.

This is the Cadillac of all carrying cases

This item should not be used.
People need to be warned NOT to load the software. It is NOT compatible with Microsoft and causes damage to the Operating system ('98 as well as XP). XP provides a warning but '98 does not. We have more damage to our operating system than any Virus I ever had. We are very unhappy with the product and will be returning it and possibly contacting an attorney.

I looked at a number of different digital frames before purchasing this model. The absence of the need for a subscription service appealed to me. I have already twice had the experience of having a novel technology company fail, leaving me with hardware that is worthless without the defunct subscription service. This product only requires an USB connection to your computer and a power outlet. The frame only needs to interface with a computer when adding or deleting pictures.

For the home user, this is a value-priced alternative to more expensive digital frames. The simplistic design of the hardware is both handsome and well constructed. In the three months that I have been using mine, I have knocked it off the desktop several times without any functional or cosmetic damage to the unit. Unlike some competing units, the screen size is large enough to comfortably view a picture. The picture quality is acceptably good, but the image does strobe a bit and dark colors tend to fade at the edges, especially the color black. The software included is easy to setup and easy to use. Although one reviewer indicated that the software might be incompatible with some Windows operating systems, I have used it with Windows ME and Windows XP Pro without a problem. As opposed to the frames that do require Internet service, this frame does not need to connect to a telephone line and does not carry a subscription fee. If you are looking to share pictures and receive pictures into your frame from friends or family, a frame with an Internet connection might be better for you. If you only need to display your own still images, this frame will do that without breaking your budget.

After doing all the research reading all the reviews (here & newsgroups) I finally go ahead and got the Album Plus. There are no online service fee, like other models.

The photo quality is good... but can't compare your computer monitor. Kodak may have the better screen but the pain of setting up and the online fee...I wouldn't even touch it with all the complain I read. hope this help everyone else
