Over at Droid Dog, there’s an article up concerning the Augen Genbook 74 netbook (not to be confused with K-Mart’s new Gentouch tablet). The main focus of the article? All the reasons that one particular writer returned it within 24 hours.

While the netbook came in at less than Gentouch’s tablet, the author does a pretty good job of summarizing the entire experience:

…comprised largely of unentertaining frustration. Just a lot of cursing and “What the…” type stuff.

As well as:

I would say that it should be in the toddler section at Kmart for .99 but I’m afraid it could turn a youngster off of technology.

Among the complaints, we have:

• wifi
• trackpad
• youtube
• keyboard
• lag
• video playback

Doesn’t sound like the best experience. But, I guess it just goes to show you… even the best OS cant make up for terrible manufacturing. To read up on the experience for yourself, as well as to check out an unboxing video, check out the source link below.
