The editors didn't like
Laggy interfaceNo batteryConfusing setup
Overall product concept seems a bit flawed. Scope and abilities of apps is limited. Not very portable since it needs to be plugged in.
Content can take a while to load
Touchscreen isn't super-responsive
A bit pricey
No full-blown browser
Little printed documentation
Sony marketing content can appear
Uninvited
Expensive
Even at the discounted $150
Touchscreen lacks sensitivity
Isn’t nearly responsive enough
Organization of apps is awful on the device
Not the kind of device you can't live without
Plenty of web access but no actual web browser
Slow when switching between apps
For all its features
Nothing about the Dash really stands out as a pillar function. The built-in speakers are wimpy. You can't run it using batteries. Touch-screen sensitivity is sluggish
