Remotes DOA -- PAIR THEM FIRST!
Pros: Works great! Arguably faster than the new Roku 2!
Cons: Not as fast as the (more expensive) Roku 3? It works fine though. Definitely faster than earlier models. I really wish the normal menus (typing, etc.) used the motion control instead of arrows.
Overall Review: The remotes don't come paired up with the unit, and as far as I know, don't light up until they're paired (or at least in pairing mode). There's a button in battery compartment! Hold button in battery compartment for 3+ seconds until the front LEDs blink, then reboot the Roku.
Definitely not "Refurb" quality...
Pros: These are great laptops in general -- I've used/sold a ton of them. T-Series Thinkpads are about as nice of laptop as you'll find anywhere.
Cons: Newegg claims these are refurbished by Lenovo themselves. I doubt it. No Lenovo literature, paperwork that -did- come was photocopied, hand-made. I'd consider this used. NOT refurbished. Also, had to RMA this one because keys were sticking / didn't work.
Overall Review: Again, while these are rock solid laptops in general, I don't know who is "refurbishing" them, but it's not up to par.
