Most Favorable Review

Good luck finding a better camera.

SONY SLT-A58K Digital SLR Cameras Black 20.1 MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens
SONY SLT-A58K Digital SLR Cameras Black 20.1 MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens

Pros: The camera spells out affordable professional grade DSLR all over it. The frame is robust. Detachable 50mm lense (can be swapped for other types). Provides great manual control for professionals, as well as easy automatic features for novices. Uses a good video codec. Battery life is extremely long (took a two week vacation, tons of videos, no recharge was needed). Picture grade is absolutely amazing (even shots of the sun with proper filters). LCD adjustable for different shot angles.

Cons: The eye piece has a sensor that detects if you are trying to use it. When it detects that you are, it shuts off the LCD. When taking pictures in difficult angles or in the dark, this sometimes gets annoying. Also, the eye piece and the LCD are too level with each other. So, when you use the eye piece, your face is ALWAYS touching the LCD. Using stuff like sun block gets all that oil on the LCD.

Overall Review: While the camera does have picture enhancing features, it does support Sony's version of a RAW picture format. Using applications like Photoshop CSx (close source) or UFRAW w/GIMP (open source) will enable you to work with these images. The eye piece should have an attachment option as dirtying up this high quality LCD screen is a real bummer. Also, Sony should have provided some form of intro attachment catalog for people wanting new lenses, flashes, HDMI attachments. It takes real homework studying to figure out what can be used for a camera, a real money maker opportunity lost for them. 5 stars because a detachable lens 20.1 DSLR with these features and RAW format support under $500 is almost impossible to find.

Excellent Notebook...

SAMSUNG Laptop Series 3 AMD A8-4500M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 7640G 15.6" Windows 8 64-Bit NP365E5C-S01US

Pros: I have to admit, I am very impressed. I honestly thought this laptop was going to be just powerful enough to run minimal business applications. However, when I was able to run the game League of Legends and play it unhindered, I was entirely in awe.

Cons: Does not have a supportive docking station, but it isn't a business machine either so that's not going to effect how I rate it.

Overall Review: Microsoft Winblows 8 kills this laptop. I put all the blame on Microsoft. I'm aware they are more interested in moving into modular computing, but when you have a guest come over and they want to setup Netflix, Microsoft gets in the way unless I use another computer with Windoes 7. And no, there are no misspellings.

Works and cost is low.

Pros: If it is a HD it is Western Digital or it was given to me for free, at least that's how its been since the 80386 computers. Once again, WD has proven itself to me to provide quality hard drives.

Cons: Western Digital hasn't thanked me for being obsessed with their products since the dawn of computing.

Overall Review: I would like to see WD get more involved with SSD drives, as I'm itching to get one.

Works and cost is low.

Pros: The product works well as long as you got a quality antenna to go along with it.

Cons: Don't really have any complaints. The products was competitively priced and it works.

Overall Review: This was a gift for someone who isn't really bright. They have no issues using it. It's simple. Also, keep in mind that this is not for service providers like Comcast, DirecTV and such. It is simply to get basic service to work from over the air stations.

Works and cost is low.

Pros: Works, was packaged well out of the box, and no parts missing.

Cons: It's a bit on the grey side, would have liked a black one.

Overall Review: Cost was low and works with a digital converter, so I have no real complaints.

Works and cost is low.

Pros: I was debating on making this from parts via Radio Shack but I'm glad I didn't. Quality is extremely high. I was afraid the coupling on the end would not split off like most but it did.

Cons: Product is not free.

Overall Review: The cable is very firm, not easily bendable (which is good). Quality is high and the color is as vivid as you see in the picture.

Honest Review...

Pro: Keyboard is nicely cute, folds firmly. It works, charges nicely. Is responsive. Con: Size of keyboard is very deceiving. The keyboard appears in pictures to be a scaled down full size keyboard. However, the buttons on the keyboard are extremely small, and their is no spacing between each button. Unless you're a child with a small hand, the keyboard can't be used the way keyboards are traditionally used on laptops or desktop computers. It's somewhat smaller than a common tablet keyboard as well, which weirded me out. Other thoughts: I'm a J2EE Developer. My laptop uses 3.0 Bluetooth. I was hoping to get a foldable 3.0 Bluetooth keyboard because my computer bag is just awfully packed and I don't want to wear down the keys on my laptop. This seems to be a hard thing to find, and I was extremely excited to have found this product. However, when I actually got it, my joy was quickly shifted to disappointment. This is not entirely Perixx USA's fault, which is why I gave them 2 eggs.

Is able to deliver quality products at good rates.

I had no issues with this provider. If I had to pick on a con, it would be the use of FedEx, which in my opinion is better than DHL and worse than UPS. However, on their delivery, FedEx did transition to USPS and I love USPS as much as I love UPS, so I rate them 5 stars.
