Has always been appreciated for all-in-one products, especially when traveling, several different features of the product in a product will be able to greatly reduce the carrying capacity of luggage, and in the home or daily life, this type of Products also make life more concise and unified.
Machine guest cloud assistant is a product like this, it is a wireless U disk router, U disk, wireless U disk, cloud backup, routers and other functions together, so it can be a U disk, it can be A portable wireless router.
Packaging: compact packaging, scalable network cable worthy of praise
Cloud Assistant's packaging form is the same as most of the current mobile phone packaging, using hard paper materials, protective performance is also good, the design of the box is relatively simple, the surface without any messy elements, only the top of the Cloud Assistant logo.
The bottom is affixed with parameters for product information.
In addition to the cloud assistant host, the box contains OTG data cables and telescopic network cables. However, there are no manuals. Only one QR code scans the card. If you need to check the manual, you can only obtain the public number by scanning the QR code.
It must be praised that this retractable cable, using a tape-shaped design, can be freely stretched, usually when not in use can be rolled up, to prevent wire winding, but also greatly enhances portability.
Design: good technology, Internet card shape, portable
The appearance of the cloud assistant is a conventional U disk shape, but the volume is a little bigger, but the portability is still very good. The outer shell is made of engineering plastic material, the top cover is a black piano paint treated panel, the white bottom cover is still polished and coated, and the texture and process are well done.
From the black panel can see a switch button, long press to switch machine, double-click to backup the cloud disk in the boot state, press the 7 times in 1.5 seconds to restore the factory settings, there is a LCD panel next to the switch key, shut down The status is black and the LCD panel lights up after power on. You can see the remaining storage capacity, battery power, and other information of the device.
The Cloud Assistant was once a designated gift for Baidu World Congress, so the word “Baidu World 2015†can be seen on the back of the device.
A micro interface is provided on one side of the device for network cable connection.
The other side is relatively simple, from the side can be seen that this device has a certain streamline design elements, and the edge of the fuselage is also more rounded, and also give the hand feel good hand.
The black piano-painted panel has a very good light reflection effect under the light, and the texture is very good. It can be seen that the manufacturer is also very hard in terms of process design.
To say that this is a wireless router, no one will believe that such a model is actually more like a wireless network card, the volume is not large, a palm can hold.
The external of the USB socket has not been designed with a metal wrapper. Frequent plugging and unplugging is actually a bit of a worry that it will break, and it is also possible to insert the opposite direction. Pay attention to the position of the metal contacts when using. This design is more suitable for use on small U-disks.
Functional application experience: U disk, wireless storage and backup, router, three major functionalities are very strong
1.U disk: use the same as a regular U disk
The functions of the USB flash drive are the same as those of a regular U disk. There are three options for the cloud assistant's memory: 32G, 64G, 128G. You can use the attached OTG cable to connect to an Android phone when you turn off the phone. When the OTG disk is used, it can also be inserted on the computer. The transmission speed is similar to that of a general U disk.
2. Cloud Storage Cloud Backup: The mobile phone and cloud assistant can wirelessly transmit data and back up data
Cloud assistant is still a U disk with wireless transmission function. It has built-in OpenWrt operating system, uses 802.11B/G/N WiFi transmission protocol, built-in 500 mAh battery, and in the boot state, as long as the mobile phone is connected to cloud assistant WiFi ( It can still be used in a network-free environment. Through the app, it can communicate with the cloud assistant to achieve wireless transmission between data.
Users can upload photos, music, movies, and other files to the Cloud Assistant. Of course, they can also delete, copy, and perform other operations on the files. In addition, the user is also praised for the backup function. The user can perform simple clicks on the APP. Can automatically backup files to the cloud assistant, found in the test, Android phone's contacts, text messages, call records, photo albums, videos, applications, music, etc. can be backed up, but Apple's mobile phone can only back up contacts and albums (cell phone permissions issues ) Because of the use of WiFi signal transmission, the transfer speed between files is not bad, and if multiple devices are connected, wireless sharing between files can also be realized.
When the cloud assistant is out of power, the USB charging head can be used to charge the machine. Since there is only 500 mAh of electricity, the battery can be fully charged in half an hour, but the battery life is very general, and often requires charging. It is recommended that you turn on the computer when you need to back up.
3. Wireless router: simple and quick configuration, to meet the general personal Internet access
The use of wireless routers is similar to that of conventional routers. One end of the cable is connected to the cloud assistant, and the other end is connected to the network port. It uses the charging head to supply power. After the network configuration, it can be used. The configuration is much simpler than the conventional router and is not used in web pages. Input address to configure, as long as a few simple operations on the matching APP can complete the configuration, quickly and quickly.
A slight test of the WiFi assistant's WiFi signal performed well. The intensity reached about 40 dBm within 1 meter from the device, and only about 10 dBm after 5 meters, with a wall within 5 meters. There is no obvious attenuation, and the stability of the signal is also no problem. Normal home-style Internet access, watching movies, etc. are no problem, but because the power is slightly lower, many Ethernet devices are connected at the same time, and high-intensity data transmission and other No, it is only suitable for the mild use of one or two people.
Summary: The practicality of wireless storage, backup and router functions is a bit expensive.
One of the most useful functions of this cloud assistant for the author is wireless storage and backup, wireless transmission of data, reducing the line plug, you can more easily and quickly manage the files on the U disk, in addition, wireless backup is also A good function is to back up contacts, SMS, and other data to the cloud assistant without a network. Since the server is not stored, the data is only stored on the device and will not be affected by the network when it is restored. Can restore to other mobile phones, wireless data sharing.
The function of the wireless router has further improved the practicality of this device, especially for travel, business trips, etc. If there is no WiFi on the hotel, there is only one network cable interface, and the wireless network environment can be created through the cloud assistant, and this device is more conventional than usual. The portable router is small and portable. To say that this equipment is insufficient, the price is too expensive (32G: 299 yuan), the battery capacity is also slightly smaller, life is generally.
