Most Favorable Review

High quality

5 Pc Glass Bowls w/ Black Lids - Food Storage Containers
5 Pc Glass Bowls w/ Black Lids - Food Storage Containers

Pros: Very good bowls and lids. I was used to plastic and banged two of them hard against the granite counter top not realizing how heavy they are. All that happened was a clear ringing sound. Very sturdy.

Cons: none

Great pc for a cheapskate

Lenovo Grade A Desktop Computer M82 Intel Core i5-3470 6 GB 250GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 2500 Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Pros: Easily updated to Win10 from download site. I told it to capture the Win7 key, and it asked me for it and rejected it. I then noticed that under the key, it said I had thirty days to activate. Clicked to activate and the new code was accepted.

Cons: The hdmi receptacle does not have the usual "smiling mouth" appearance, one side lacks the angle cut and is straight. I tried to force the cord but couldn't. I then realized my new monitor had the old fashioned blue connector, as does this pc. I used an old cord and it's fine.

Overall Review: I

TRENDnet Wireless N300 2T2R Detachable antennas, Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/WDS/Client/Bridge, 2x2 dBi, TEW-638APB
TRENDnet Wireless N300 2T2R Detachable antennas, Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/WDS/Client/Bridge, 2x2 dBi, TEW-638APB

Pros: Works great now, outperforming the TEW-731 BR it is linked to, even when accessed in the same room.

Cons: Needed update.

Overall Review: I delayed reviewing this because it would not work more than an hour or so. I thought it my be my fault, as I was ignorant of wireless access points and thought I had bought a router for another house. When it worked, it was no stronger than the 731 router upstairs. I had made a hole in the ceiling to wire it to the 731, so I hated to just junk it. With nothing to lose, I installed an April 2015 update and it is now providing strong, long range performance with no resets needed since.

Great TV input device

Pros: Phenomenal performance when attached to TV. Never need to raise the lid, just wiggle the mouse to wake it up. Most brilliant picture my TV has ever displayed, much better than HD from cable.

Cons: None, you can even add an SD card if you want to store "internal" files, though the card will stick out a little.

Overall Review: I was considering a raspberry pi to replace my old laptop/television setup, but it would cost about as much as this when all was said and done. I had recently bought another chromebook and was very happy with it when I ran across this and snapped it up not even knowing if it would work with the TV. I'm using the speaker jack for sound because my TV lacks the ability to get sound from the HDMI cable. I do restart it every week or so because that's how chromebook's update themselves.

Pros: No problems and set up easily. Dead silent and as fast as I need for essentially just browsing. I would give it more than five stars if I could because of the incredible price. I added a 4gb memory card and temporarily removed the cmos battery so it would be recognized, less than $30.

Cons: None, more usb ports would be nice but just enough for me.
