Quick review of LaCie LaCinema Premier
Found the unit easy to transfer AVI movies , MP4 not compatable , which is a shame . The box is a good compact size and sleek. Great tool to take any where with you for entertainment .
Does lock up now and again but once I found out the easy way to come out and back in life came a lot easier.
135 Films at my grasp , class.
Recommend to any one. ...
