Most Critical Review

Easy to work with, good features, poor volume control

Sandisk Sdmx26-008G-G46k 8 Gb Flash Mp3 Player - Black
Sandisk Sdmx26-008G-G46k 8 Gb Flash Mp3 Player - Black

Pros: I was looking for an MP3 player for my kids so they could listed to podcasts at night. I didn't want something Internet connected, as they are too young for that. This is a good player with decent storage (and the ability to add much more). The controls are intuitive and it's easy to use.

Cons: The one con here is that there is no real volume control. The device does have a setting for Normal Volume or High Volume, but it doesn't do much. I have the device connected to an external speaker/radio using the 3.5mm aux jack. I have to crank the volume on the external speaker to full and even then it's just barely loud enough to hear.

Just ok

Veho Z-8 On-Ear Wired Headphones with Anti-Tangle Cable
Veho Z-8 On-Ear Wired Headphones with Anti-Tangle Cable

Pros: Nice sound and comfortable on the ears

Cons: They are a little heavy and also one of the ear pads is falling off; not sure how to fix it.

Overall Review: These were good for the price, but I would probably buy something that wasn't going to come apart next time.

Works great

Pros: Easy to install (Windows 7 x64), and great signal strength. From my 3rd floor office I get full bars from my access point on the 2nd floor, and almost full bars from my router on the 1st floor.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great value.

Versatile value

ViewSonic VG2239M-LED Black 22" 5ms Full HD 1080P TN Widescreen LED Backlit Monitor, 1000:1, 250cd/m2, USB&VGA&DVI-D Display Port, Built-in Internal Speaker, Height, Swivel, Tilt, Pivot adjustable
ViewSonic VG2239M-LED Black 22" 5ms Full HD 1080P TN Widescreen LED Backlit Monitor, 1000:1, 250cd/m2, USB&VGA&DVI-D Display Port, Built-in Internal Speaker, Height, Swivel, Tilt, Pivot adjustable

Pros: This monitor is thin, light weight, and is very adjustable. I like a monitor that is right at eye level and it's great not to have to place it on top of a stand.

Cons: The speakers are not good, but what do you expect built-in monitor speakers? This monitor could also benefit from having some cable management on the back.

Overall Review: I had to adjust the default settings a bit to my liking - a straight forward process. I like it enough to buy a 2nd one for extending my desktop.

Good value

Lenovo Preferred Pro Business Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard - US English
Lenovo Preferred Pro Business Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard - US English

Pros: Inexpensive keyboard, that has a nice feel to it. These are good quality unlike the junk that comes with so many OEM PCs today.

Cons: I prefer a keyboard with a lot of action to the keys; this one is decent but could stand to have even more.

Overall Review: Basic keyboard, but great quality. Good value.
