Why didn't I buy this sooner

Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u NVIDIA Tegra 2 1.00GHz 10.1" 1GB DDR2 Memory 16GB Flash Tablet - Aluminum Metallic
Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u NVIDIA Tegra 2 1.00GHz 10.1" 1GB DDR2 Memory 16GB Flash Tablet - Aluminum Metallic

Pros: I keep asking my self why I didn't buy this sooner. I have a windows netbook and I have been frustrated with constant updates, slow log ins and all the other complains about a windows machine. Push the button and it wakes up and its ready to use! Internet, blogger, photos, andriod market, and its not a phone! What could be better.

Cons: Camera fail, RMA'ed the first one because I would have to reboot the machine each time I wanted to use the camera. Got the new one and the camera works each and every time.

Overall Review: So it's not that other fruit flavored tablet and so far thats a good thing. The cost is way less and from what I can tell. Plus if your deep into google with apps and analytics it works very well. I am running and maintaining a website from the tablet very easily. Another neat thing is if you really really really wanted too you can plug this thing into a tv via the mini hdmi port, and plug in a wireless keyboad and mouse into the usb port and blam you have a desktop (kinda).

Cheep and is OK

GTMax Black PU Leather Stand Case Style 2 for Acer Iconia Tab A500 Tablet PC

Pros: What sells this case is the price. Went to local shops and seen other ones for $50 and that just seemed crazy. Everything lines up pretty close and its one posture setting seems to be good for how I use it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I don't know how else to design it but I use the back camera quite a bit for posting on craigslist and I dont really like the back flap. But thats the cost of putting the tablet in a case.

Works as advertised

GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector Film for Acer Iconia Tab A500 (3 Pack)
GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector Film for Acer Iconia Tab A500 (3 Pack)

Pros: The screen protectors are good and do pretty much everything you would expect. Before you used the protector remember it is plastic protected by plastic and when removing the step 1 portion it creates a static charge and attracts dust immediately. I think if I only use my finger tips on the screen I wont ever need to replace the screen. Doesn't prevent the touch screens sensitivity.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The screens protectors are awesome. But the company that's sub-contracted with newegg is bad. If you have 9 days to wait for shipping you'll be fine. But if you want to have these immediately I would look at another vendor.

Increases your productivity in laziness

Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System
Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System

Pros: Good so far. Has a remote control and lots of stereo settings, speakers a super loud and bass reminds you why you bought the system. I listen to music mostly, but also very nice for movies. My neighbors haven’t complained yet. I’m sure for apartment dwellers this system would be good if u wanted to annoy people on the 5 floor.

Cons: I read the specs and guess I wasn’t mentally prepared for the bass tube. It does not fit under my desk. But I have plenty of room to the side. The desktop module is also huge, bigger than the speakers not a good idea for a confined desktop. Logitech filled the screw holes with epoxy so the feet don’t come off.

Overall Review: This was to replace some creative 5.1 speakers. I would recommend head phones that come free in a happy meal over any creative products. These speakers appear to be solid and produce the clarity that your paying for.

COOLMAX CN-550 Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB & Ethernet SOHO NAS External Enclosure

Pros: Functions as backup storage, Networked storage drives, and an FTP server.

Cons: Web interface.

Overall Review: I wish it wasnt only IDE. If it was SATA also I would probably keep it for the rest of my life.
