Advantages: pretty

Disadvantages: reliability

The Ipod classic is a staple of the Apple product line, the larger of which has been refined over the years, into its current form of a capacity of 160GB (although the actual physical space is around 140)

Apple products are known for having questionable build quality, often breaking after their warranty, or even bursting into flames. However I have owned a ipod classic in some form since the first generation and i've only needed to replace it with a newer model once (after 3 years of heavy use) so perhaps it isn't deserved.

Although saying this, i have had to re-boot it 3 times in the last 8 months, losing all music and having to perform a full factory re-install, so it hasn't been faultless. The battery life also deteriorates quite quickly. However new replacement batteries are quite common on various online marketplaces and are easily replaced without much effort so things could be worse.

Considering the disk space, Ipods are also pretty pricey, but many are willing to sacrifice a bit more money for the iconic design aesthetic of it.

Summary: Good, but there are cheaper options

You bring out some good points, but need to talk about the product more. The majority of your review consists of complaining about the build quality, which is an important part, but a review should be about more than solely complaints.

SU , but message me if you make changes and I will re-rate!
