Awesome product
Pros: The cable company refused to extend their lines to my new house. My sister in law lives 500 feet away. I hooked one adapter to her modem and she has an outside electrical outlet in her garage. I bought 5 one hundred feet outdoor extension cords and ran the cord from outside outlet to my house. Plugged other adapter in and to my amazement I have internet. Put an multi outlet on end of last extension cable and plugged in a 200 powerline to run my magic jack. So now I have internet and phone service. I still find it hard to believe that this product works that far away from modem. Not sure how long it will work, but it has worked for three days now.
Cons: None
Overall Review: The internet service at in law house is around 15 mpbs and at mine it is over 13mpbs, so not much drop off. My internet loads fast and I can even watch Netflix without a problem.
not for everyone
Pros: easy to install.
Cons: Range no more than 20 feet. Nite vision only adequate when an outside light source is availabe, ie.. porch light or pole light. Wireless computer router interferes with signal quality.
Overall Review: I have four of these things in use. Three outside and one inside. Limited to where I could locate them due to limited range, which is about 15- 20 feet. Everyday had to move wireless reciever antenna around to maximize signal strength. Finally, had to disconnect computer wireless router. Signal and picture quality improved. If could do over would go with wired cameras.
Junk
Pros: A refurbished unit that looked new.
Cons: Not a happy customer. This unit died after only nine months. Screen went dark. The problem is not the power supply it checked ok. The HDMI cable checked ok. Have no idea why unit went dark. A waste of 102 dollars. I cannot afford throwing away 102 dollars on a machine that lasted only nine months. I have spent a lot of money with newegg over the years and I am not a happy man.
Great Value
Pros: Nice laptop for the price. Got mine delivered under 4 hundred dollars. The processor speed is adequate for my needs. I am not a gamer and can't say this would be good for that. Nice big screen with clear picture. Has empty slot to upgrade RAM.
Cons: Time consuming to update to windows 8.1. Have to make sure all windows updates on installed before attempting to upgrade to 8.1. Took me several hours to upgrade. Speakers are not very loud, I sometimes use a radio with aux. and plug into headphone slot.
Overall Review: Did not like windows 8.1 at first, but now that I know how to use it I would not go back to windows 7. I like that you can customize the start screen tiles with everything you would normally store in favorites list. You still have the option to use a desktop screen as home page if preferred.
not what I paid for
Pros: none
Cons: Would not work, said old version and then proceeded to trial version
Overall Review: Would not accept activation code. I did not order a trail version, could have got that online for free.
Waste of money
Pros: none
Cons: Will not hold charge any longer than the battery that was replaced.
Good communications and fast shipping
Smooth transaction and item was package well. Product worked as described. Would do business again.
