Most Favorable Review

Great customer service

Rosewill RM-7500 - 2.4GHz Wireless Travel Mouse
Rosewill RM-7500 - 2.4GHz Wireless Travel Mouse

Pros: The first mouse I had burned through batteries at a ferocious rate. It would not turn on again for me. I called the customer support number and they mailed me a new one - not even asking for a return. I hope ti works better than the last one.

Cons: First one died after a couple weeks.

Overall Review: I like to support companies that support their customers. Rosewill has done that.

Most Critical Review

Large capacity Speed not impressive

Patriot Slate 3.0 128GB USB Flash Drive Model PSF128GLSS3USB
Patriot Slate 3.0 128GB USB Flash Drive Model PSF128GLSS3USB

Pros: Large capacity cheap drive. It works for what I want.

Cons: It is slow and gets very warm transferring files. Heat and size are a trade off here I think.

Overall Review: I needed a large thumb drive for archival purposes. The slow speed and heat are therefore not deal breakers for me. For what it is a cheap, large thumb drive, it is good. Do not expect more. As usual, Newegg shipped the unit in good time, and it arrived in great condition.

Very good drive

Crucial MX200 2.5" 250GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT250MX200SSD1
Crucial MX200 2.5" 250GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT250MX200SSD1

Pros: Very quick responsive drive. Worked well for the laptop into which I put it. Power consumption was very low, which made for much improved battery life.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Very interested to see if this drive keeps up the quality standards of the Micron line. Put this in my father-in-law's laptop computer. Wanted something more reliable than the HDD that had died in there. I was pleased that the power consumption was so low - it seemed to add 25-30% to the battery life.

Good product

AVG Anti-Virus 2014 - 3 PCs
AVG Anti-Virus 2014 - 3 PCs

Pros: AVG reviews pretty well in the Antivirus rating sites.The only cavil is that you need to get a separate validation code by email, it does not come in the box for the multiple install product.

Cons: Better management of validation codes would be nice. But this is a minor cavil.

Wonderful small projector

ASUS P1 Ultra-light HD Portable 200 ANSI Lumens short throw LED projector w/ Auto Keystone Correction
ASUS P1 Ultra-light HD Portable 200 ANSI Lumens short throw LED projector w/ Auto Keystone Correction

Pros: The combination of size and brightness will make this ideal for international use. Our non-profit was the recipient of this as a gift. We will use it a lot in our work both here in North America overseas. It is well designed with intuitive easy to figure out controls. It is made of good quality materials and feels solid, as you expect from Asus. Altogether a really nice package. The carrying case is well-designed, and will fit easily in a carry on bag. The auto keystone works well.

Cons: Brightness, but that is a part of territory with these small projectors.

Overall Review: The inclusion of a good quality zippered case makes this extremely useful for the proposed international use. It will be great for travel.

Quiet Power

OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500 W ATX12V / EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500 W ATX12V / EPS12V Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Great price! Lots of clean power. Very quiet. Really good supply of power connectors allowed two IDE devices plus a floppy drive to be installed from the old computer.

Cons: None so far.
