Most Favorable Review

Fast, but HOT

Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) ECC Fully Buffered DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Server Memory Model CT2KIT51272AF80E
Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) ECC Fully Buffered DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Server Memory Model CT2KIT51272AF80E

Pros: The newegg price for this memory is cheaper than equivalent option on the most popular online auction site or anywhere else. I needed DDR2 667, but this DDR2 800 is cheaper, so why argue?

Cons: This memory runs hot, to the point where I'm having some problems in my bladecenter HS21 blades.

Overall Review: Newegg often gets my shipments to me within 24 hours, this was one of them. w00! For some reason the name of the most popular online auction site is taboo? Weird.

Most Critical Review

fragile, but passable

NOKIA BH-501 Bluetooth stereo Headset
NOKIA BH-501 Bluetooth stereo Headset

Pros: decent battery life, worked well with Linux

Cons: the headband is fragile, it snapped off a few days after I bought these. I put them inside a pair of earmuffs, which was actually pretty neat, but it makes them harder to charge. Anyway, I stopped using these after a few weeks.

Overall Review: A2DP just doesn't turn out decent sound quality in most cases. Oh well.

Small, lightweight, hi rez

4K Monitor USB-C Portable Monitor BetterDiGi U15HT 15.6 Inch UHD HDR FreeSync Zero Frame USB-C Type-C Mini Monitor HDMI Computer Display for Laptop PC Phone Mac Surface Xbox PS4 Switch with Smart Case

Pros: works great with Mac and Linux, I only need one USB-C cable to give it power and videoit's so small it fits in my bag together with my personal ThinkPad and work mac

Cons: flickers around the edges after a few hours at full brightness

Overall Review: I'm a fan, I may buy a second since I have enough USB-C ports

Got this because of the high egg rating, now I want another one

ASUS MG28UQ Black 28" 1ms (GTG) 3840 x 2160 4K UHD Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) Gaming Monitor, w/ Asus Exclusive GamePlus and Flicker Free Technology, Pivot & Height Adjustment, Built-in Speakers
ASUS MG28UQ Black 28" 1ms (GTG) 3840 x 2160 4K UHD Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) Gaming Monitor, w/ Asus Exclusive GamePlus and Flicker Free Technology, Pivot & Height Adjustment, Built-in Speakers

Pros: easy to use in document mode lots of ports settings are easy to access and change, the menu system is easier than most I've used. I especially like the four way joystick with press button

Cons: it's heavy? The viewing angle isn't so great in portrait mode, it was clearly designed for landscape mode. Still, portrait mode is perfectly usable, if not as bright as in landscape mode.

Overall Review: It's great, I didn't expect so many features for the affordable price I'll likely purchase two more, one for me, one for my SO

great laptop, I keep several around

Pros: Decent price Better than B grade case/screen/keyboard, no visible nicks of any kind

Cons: shipped with 2GB of RAM instead of the 4GB the item description claimed

Works great in my HS21 blade

Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: For whatever reason, this drive is much faster in my HS21 blade than other two 2.5" drives I'm using. And it's cheap, and it arrived in just over 24 hours. What's not to like?

Cons: No disadvantages that I've seen.

Overall Review: Newegg rocks!
