Test: AData DashDrive Air AE400

Konklusion

Tanken ADATA havde om at det skulle være let at streame musik og video, hente billeder fra kameraets SD kort eller dele filer med andre er bestemt god, men ikke udført så godt, som man kunne have ønsket sig. Fysisk er kvaliteten bestemt godkendt, men helheden bliver desværre skændet af den meget dårlige Android support. Det er tydeligt at deres fokus har været på Apple. Hvis du kun har Apple produkter, og du mangler ekstra hukommelse eller ekstra strøm på farten, så er det bestemt et anbefalelsesværdigt køb. 

Innovation/Teknologi - 3
Produktet får 3, da vi står med et relativt unikt produkt, hvori 3 varegrupper, netværkslager, ladestation og access point er kombineret i en lille pakke. Og ganske fortrinligt endda.  

Bundle/Tilbehør - 2
Det er kun det absolut mest nødvendige der følger med. Ingen lader - for at holde prisen nede naturligvis. 

Design/Layout - 4
Designet er flot og gennemtænkt, og kvaliteten er bestemt i orden. Hvis produktet skulle ramme 5, så skulle materialevalget have været anderledes - gerne aluminium, som bestemt ville have set endnu bedre ud. 

Software - 2
Det var en svær beslutning, om der skulle tildeles 1 eller 2, men 2 bliver den endelige karakter. Softwaren var en meget blandet oplevelse, og det er tydeligt at Android ikke er deres primære fokus. Oplevelsen på iPad var dog ganske fin, men det opvejer ikke helt den elendige oplevelse hos konkurrenten. 

Ydelse - 3
Batteri og access point fungerede som det skulle. Rækkevidden var helt i orden, og kapaciteten på batteriet var også tilstrækkelig til et par dage uden rejselader til tabletten. Problemerne med softwaren betyder dog, at produktet i dets nuværende tilstand ikke er særlig anvendeligt med Android. 

Pris - 3
Prisen i skrivende stund er 483 kr. hos den billigste forhandler. Det er en fin pris, dog ville det blive værdsat med en medfølgende lader.

UK summary

The thoughts that AData had about is should be easy to stream music and video, get pictures from the camera´s SD card or share files with others, is certainly good, but not excecuted as well as you could wish for. Physically ths quality is certainly approved, but the big picture is however ravished by the very poor Android support. It´s very clear that their focus has been Apple. If you only have Apple products, and you need the ekstra space or ekstra power on the road, then it´s definately a recommendable buy.

Innovation/Technology - 3
The product gets 3, as we stand with a relative unik product in which we have 3 products,  network storage, charging station and acces point combined in a bundle. And even quite excellent 

Bundle/Accessories - 2
It´s absolutely only the most required which are bundled. No charger - to keep the price down offcourse. 

Design/Layout - 4
The design is nice and well thought through, and the quality is certainly alrigth. If the product should receive 5, then the choice of materials should have been different - like aluminum which definately would have looked even better.

Software/BIOS - 2
It was a hard decision, whether to grade 1 or 2, but 2 is the final grade. The software was a very mixed exsperience, and it´s clear that Android in not thir primary focus. The exsperience on the Ipad was quite good, but does not compensate for the miserable exsperience with the competitor.

Performance -3
Battery and access point worked as it´s supposed to. The range was alrigth, and the capacity on the battery was also sufficient enough to a couple of days without a charger to the tablet. The problems with the software does however mean, that the product in it´s current state is not very usable with Android.

Price - 3
The price as I am writing this, is 483DKK with cheapest retailer. It´s a great price, though a charger would be highly appreciated.
