Pros: Does exactly what it advertises, I use it to have 2 external monitors from my laptop (3 total including laptop screen) I like that it takes wires out of sight (speakers, usb devices, monitor cords, etc...) easy plug and play, and now with windows 8.1 you can actually open the start menu on external screens.

Cons: It is a little pricey, but in comparison to similar devices its a good deal if you really want 3 screens. Every once in a while, it will forget the order of my monitors and i will have to go back and set it again, just a minor annoyance though and more likely a windows thing.

Pros: I don't have cable in my house, I use a raspberry pi in my living room, but needed something cheap and easy for the guest room. This was quick and easy to set up, seems to work well so far. I initially tried the price equivalent roku, but couldn't get it to connect with my router, decided it wasn't worth the hassle and exchanged it for this. This is great if you already have a subscription to Netflix and Hulu Plus, otherwise, I imagine it would be quite worthless

Cons: The unit itself seems a bit slow and laggy, and this is coming from a person that is used to the raspberry pi which is no ferrari. Mainly between switching apps and booting up. Once it has loaded and buffered video content plays smoothly.

Overall Review: This is a good complimentary device, I wouldnt make it my primary though.
