Great for offices looking to upgrade

Any type of business can take advantage of this product. This thing is small and obviously dead quite. I have been stress testing one of these and there are a few things that need to be fixed in the future.

Video is awful, and it is not the system or network they are being served from. My network peaked at 25% with a full screen video trying to be played with a PCExpanion, CPU was 10%, and more then 512MB of RAM free.

Audio works fine no stuttering or pauses, but it is low quality and there is a bit of noise coming through.

The refresh of the screen could be bumped up just a little as well, but only because I am expecting quite a bit from this unit. People will have no problem typing or scrolling through pages and doing other office work.

I imagine these problems could be solved by them just upgrading the CPU or code in the current system. The audio controller should just completely be replaced as it is of low quality for a $199 US product.

Now that the bad is out of the way, this unit is actually quite good for a business environment. The quality of the screen output is actually quite good and is better then XP's remote desktop. The network utilization is less then 1% in most cases peaking at 5%. The CPU and RAM are the same obviously as running it locally, so if your PC is up to date and has enough RAM you will be set.

The keyboard and mouse respond quickly and is no comparison to the much more sluggish remote desktop.

I believe DoubleSight was actually being quite conservative with limiting the total number to 10 units. If you setup a XP machine with duel CPU's and at least 10K RPM drives with 4GB of RAM, 1Gb LAN, you could easily serve at least 30 machines and I think it could hit 50 off of one machine.

With all that said I hope they upgrade the processing unit in this thing to play video, as this could sneak into the home as well with MS Media Center PC's serving up extenders why not have them serve a few of these things as well.

Perfect for great sound in my office.  I didn't need a 2.1 type system in my small office but still wanted great sound.

This upgrade is worth its price.
Used in conjunction with Project Server and Project Professional 2003 the program now allows project tasks to appear in Outlook calendars and messaging.  As a project manager, I find this feature eases communications with team members and fosters greater team participation.
This ease of communication saves time and money.  If you have doubts over this upgrade, my unequivocal recommendation is to proceed.  The software's tight integration with other Microsoft Office Products, including Outlook, enables you to focus on project goals, not the technology that supports them.

Excellent! I used it to upgrade two refurb Optiplex 755 boxes in our office. Both of them are noticeably snappier, and my staff is happier, too!

This printer/scanner is in use in a smaller office (12 employees).  It's print speed and cost is better than the low end color laser we were using.  Printed copy is fine for typical office use.

Upgrade with confidence.. time saved is money earned

I am a QuickBooks user for  many years when it was the 99 version. My last version upgrade was 2009.  After avoiding the any upgrades for years, I upgraded to windows 10 and decided that it was better to also upgrade the accounting software.

With much trepidation I could not get the 3 user pack so I had to buy 3 separate disc versions of the 2016 to network them. 2 at office (networked) and 1 at home which is what I have been doing for the past 14 years.

As usual, I read all the negative reviews (more honest and real) and then decided to bite the bullet.

Shipping was fast as usual from amazon.

Installation: at home first-no problem, upgraded the company file and worked easily, much improved interface, faster smoother and faster back up,

Now to the office; No problem, smooth upgrade, networked and worked without a problem. Intuitive, easy to figure out as an old user, my secretary had no problem with the upgraded software. No training necessary!

The ability to attach scanned invoices and any bill or paper to cheques or invoices is a blessing for record keeping. Bounced cheques can be easily tracked. Had one so far in about 6 months.

Back up is significantly faster and so is the software.

The new layout is very informative, tracking payment for the day, grouping  payment history of customer or vendor, calendar, snapshot, bill tracker, etc really nice.

Emailing of invoices without having to use intuit servers, what a joy to use!

One Concern: I saw a QB dataserviceuser19 user as a user on my system and since I did not authorise it, I deleted the user.

Word of advice
DO NOT DO THAT, I was immediately locked out of the system and had to reinstall and reboot to regain access.
If this can be explained  it would be helpful.

One problem- when I back up the company file, I do not see the scanned attachments in the restored file unless I go to the original computer that I had scanned it on. I can see there is an attachment and the name of it but the actual image is not backed up.

If this can be changed so the actual file can be backed up as an option as well then I would say 5 stars. For now **** stars.

Ignore the naysayers.

A very good upgrade well done intuit !

UPDATE 2017-08-20  NOW I am feeling it!
BEWARE that QB accountant 2015 will not work with this version, You need QB accountant 2016 or later. Guess what? Intuit does not sell 2017Qb accountant just so! Your accountant needs to register with THEM! He needs to do their exam, to be able to buy Quickbooks accountant 2017! He needs to be a "certified  QB advisor" and pay a yearly $349 and can only use it with ONE computer!  LOL...Is this LEGAL?  Sounds like what Microsoft did with IExplorer years ago. No wonder I could not find a later version than 2015 on Amazon.  I now have to send my original backup file to my accountant, do nothing while he works on it, then import it..I am now back to the old days of TIME WASTING and VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Guess what? If your accountant does NOT want to be a Qbadvisor  or you need to access more then ONE computer you get to call a special number and pay $499.00 ( maybe). PURE corporate GREED and exploitation. I guess the naysayers were right after all! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

We are bringing back to life some old equipment that was donated to our church. It works great for our basic office needs and gives the ability to upgrade our systems to Win 7 as XP going by the way. Good value! Overall, we are very pleased.

I have been using this for many different uses at the office. My lateral file system is improving all the time with clean, easily readable labels! You can adjust the size of the text. You can change the font. You can order different colors of label rolls (easy to pop in and out!). You can get up to 4 rows of text on a label. This is great for "Micromanaging" files with a lot of info at a glance --great for my many DOT truck and trailer folders and bank note/loan folders. Being able to use larger fonts on the top row and smaller fonts on the secondary rows is very helpful.

OTHER USES:
 Labels on my essential oil blend bottles.
 Labels on cheap plastic folders for employee curriculum.
 Labeling multiple wires to computer systems.
 I would guess these would work great labeling cups at get togethers.
 I plan to make some large text labels to put on my shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower that are hard to read w/o my glasses.
