| 112099 | 2003-01-08 15:56:00 | I just bought a BenQ4816P 48x12x48 cdrw before Xmas and was concerned it may not be up to the tasks of the greats like Asus and Liteon. But this is a really good burner that has allowed me to burn every thing I have asked of it.Especially with the trial version of alcohol120%. This BenQ is better than other earlier ones and so far has performed as good as my mates Asus. | valiantnz (1709) | ||
| 112100 | 2003-01-08 20:30:00 | Gidday Valiantnz, I see you are in Greymouth too! I'm escaping back home this afternoon, i'm sure my dog will be missing me. Heres my opinion of the benQ range of CDRW (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). That was experiances from 6 month ago, and i would be keen to know if things have got better, and particually how it deals with burning several CDs in a row, and how well it is working in a couple of months. .Clueless (AKA "Chris Wilson" from above link) |

| 112101 | 2003-01-08 21:25:00 | Try several different CD-R Brands too.. Not just the one, try a broad range coz you can usually by them cheap individually :-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 112102 | 2003-01-09 00:32:00 | ok thanks I will try different media types. As for burning multiple CD's in a row. Well I backed up nearly 10 discs in a row the other nite. Yes older benqs were rubbish I believe, and I started getting worried about this one until I tried it out. At $170 the cheapest I could find on pricespy was $150. I will keep you posted on the burners reliability and performance over the next year. | valiantnz (1709) | ||
| 112103 | 2003-01-09 06:28:00 | Goodo! (Hello all, i'm back in CHCH now) And to match my "Are all benQ rubbish?" thread we hopefully will get "12 month old benQ still works!" thread. .Clueless |

| 112106 | 2003-01-09 12:29:00 | yes lets hope so. I rushed in to buying this burner. I had wanted one for a while but the price seemed right at $170. When I got it home my brother went a bit crock for me not doing my home work before I want out and boughta burner. Instead of looking it up on the net when I had it at home in my hand.First reports I read in a google search for my benq burner didn't look good. But then I ended up at the clonecd site and a couple of positive things were said about it. I do feel that I got lucky as so far it has performed as well as my brothers liteon and a mates asus burner. And I forgot about all the pc company duds being benq or I would have stayed well away from benq as a burner. Pesonally I would recommend Liteon or Asus for burners still now I know a bit more. As liteon are just as cheap as any other burner on the market.Just looked at www.pricespy.co.nz and there is aliteon 48x24x48 for $135. My god that is cheap. PS why does it say I am responding to a post that is over a month old?. Done thtat when I started this post. |

Do you remember how back in 2002 we got used to the idea that hardware older than a year was antique? Now in this enlightened year we at PF1 learn that anything written previously is allready out of date. :D What am i doing out of bed at this time? :p .Clueless |

My god that is cheap. <cringe> I didn't need to read that.... :-( Mind you, I've had over a year's good use out of my 24x10x40 Lite-On now and I'm very happy with it. Hopefully you will be with yours too. :-) |
