Really?
Pros: 1 Tb bombproof (portable) storage
Cons: n/a
Overall Review: I love the fools who give this drive a poor review because AMD can't keep up with modern storage technology. If the AMD chipset can't recognize the drive, that's not the fault of the drive manufacturer. So FIVE eggs to help make up for these maroons...
Typical Chinese Junk
Pros: None so far...
Cons: Extremely poor packaging results in box opening during shipment and parts becoming lost. I cannot attach the wheels because of four missing bolts & washers.
Overall Review: The manufacturer should take batter care to insure that ALL of the included parts cannot become dislodged and/or lost during shipment. On the other hand, the Newegg seller (Vanguard Wholesale) should have enough sense to package the item securely rather than shipping it in the flimsy box it was wearing when it came off the shipping container from China. The package was delivered by FedEx all beat up, with the ends taped closed (it had OBVIOUSLY been popped open by the shipping abuse) and loose parts missing. Now I have to either deal with a RMA (and probably lost $$ for return shipping) or I have to go to the local hardware store to buy replacements for the missing parts. Oh, and the included "instructions" don't say what size or thread pitch the bolts are, so it's guess work when I get there.
Who comes up with these descriptions?
Pros: Durable, high quality, unique design of pressurized hydration system
Cons: none yet
Overall Review: I own a Geigerrig Rig 500 for over two years and have no complaints. I can only assume the Rig 1210 is similar. Here's the issue: The Rig 1210 is NOT a "running" hydration system; and it DOESN'T have a 70 oz bladder. This is a 1200 cubic inch capacity DAYPACK which has a 3 liter/100 oz. water bladder. Clearly someone who is completely ignorant of what this item is wrote the description for it. The key word being IGNORANT...
So-so tablet, nonexistant support
Pros: Small size, sufficient power, good screen
Cons: Android 4.4, tech support
Overall Review: So far, no tech support. I've emailed them twice (the first a month ago) with no response. Far too typical these days... Bought for mobile user to access email. Had a devil of a time getting Exchange account to sync (1st unanswered email to support). Finally found solution by searching web for hours - a hidden security warning that had to be acknowledged. This week we tried to get a credit card swiper to work on it. With KitKat you must set security for GPS to use WiFi, (which is now buried in the Location/Mode settings) but evidently the manufacturer has disabled this option, as the only Mode setting available is Battery Saving Mode (second unanswered email to support). So it's a great toy for your kids, but not recommended for business use. And Android 4.4 is a PIA.
really...a review by someone who doesn't understand what he's reviewing
Pros: Good price, good optical quality, and yes - it's available at Newegg.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: Grant H.: The focus ring is NOT for focusing on the target, it's for focusing the reticle to your visual acuity (so you can use it without your eyeglasses). Therefore, if you use it to focus on the target, it WILL make the reticle out of focus. The six steps to firing the shot: 1) sight alignment 2) sight picture 3) respiratory pause 4a) focus your eye on the front sight post or reticle 4b) focus your mind on keeping the sight post or reticle on the [out of focus] target 5) squeeze the trigger 6) follow through - take a mental snapshot of where the sights were when the shot went off and hold the trigger back 'til the bullet has left the barrel. somewhat So I give 5 eggs to compensate somewhat for Grant's lack of understanding.
Not Ready for Prime Time
Pros: n/a
Cons: Multiple problems with the reticle on this series scope. I know three people who own one, and I own one, and all four of us have experienced similar problems with the reticles. On one, the horizontal crosshair has cropped to the bottom of the scope. On two others, the vertical crosshair has canted to one side. And on mine the windage adjustment is bottomed out all the way to the left and the bullet impact at target hasn't changed.
Overall Review: Do a Google search for complaints or problems with this series Simmons scope. Then invest your money in something else.
Extremely poor packaging
The flimsy cardboard packaging was delivered broken open and re-taped closed. Loose parts inside the packaging are missing so that I can't use the item without additional expense (and time) replacing them. This vendor should have anticipated that the flimsy cardboard box the item came off the shipping container from China in is NOT up to the challenge of individual shipment, and they should have packaged it more securely before handing it off to FedEx.
Shipping Robbery
$12 shipping and no tracking number. Clearly went vial slow turtle, as the ship date is 7/9 and the package hasn't arrived as of 7/15. For what I paid this package should have gone by expedited service with a tracking number.
