Well, three people have had their mouse rust out internally within 4 to 5
months. In fact, it just happened to the demo computer – the painted metal
rollers inside the computer rusted and the ball wouldn't turn.
Many people have had defective problems with the Chinon drives, regarded by
alot of people I know as some of the worst in the entire computer industry.
The power supply is pathetic.
Overall, the A500 is an inexpensive computer that's a very good value next to
most other things out there – but it's also very cheaply made. Many cut
corners, high defective rates, etc.
