Pros: I figured I would write a review about some details I would've found beneficial when I was looking to purchase this tablet. Let me start out by saying I think this tablet MUST be purchased with the keyboard dock. Functionality increases so much with two USB ports and the extra battery. Therefore, I'll include my review on the battery dock in this review on the Transformer. - MicroSD card fits flush into slot - Transferring files is very easy. There are default folders on 'Internal Storage' for all types of multimedia. You can create your own directories for anything else you'd like to have on the tablet. - USB devices still work even when keyboard dock's battery dies. - Keyboard dock will charge/power your USB devices. By itself, it's a backup battery - LED indicator on side of keyboard dock is amber when charging and green when charging completes. - Can connect to internet via Bluetooth tethering from your mobile device. See other thoughts, as I'm out of r

Cons: - USB Ports on keyboard dock are VERY tight. So tight, that for the first removal of my USB cable, I had to use needle-nose pliers. But they loosen up after a few uses. - Keyboard lags when using the browser even with Honeycomb 3.2 update. It does NOT lag, however, when using Polaris, the office suite provided. - Closing the tablet when attached to the keyboard dock and using the display with MiniHDMI out locks the tablet and therefore interrupts video playback. - Wireless audio playback via Bluetooth on computer's speakers lags behind the video playback when watching videos/movies. Audio by itself is OK via Bluetooth. Solution: Just use the 3.5mm jack, not Bluetooth. - Transformer itself does not support wireless ad-hoc networks created by some iPhone tethering apps. - Skype video chat not supported 'yet'. ________________________________________ One final thought: I would not use this tablet if not for the keyboard dock. I say it is a must have if get

Overall Review: - Some people said the proprietary charge/sync cable is short. It is 3ft 1in long. You decide. - I have an iPhone 3Gs. I use MyWi 4.0 to tether my devices, including my new Transformer. the Bluetooth tethering option in MyWi 4.0 works flawlessly with the Transformer. It will not, however, work with the ad-hoc network or USB tethering options. And if you plug in your mobile hotspot device of your choice to the USB port on the keyboard dock, it will charge while tethering. (And tethering is a battery intensive program for your phone). - Tablet stops charging from dock when the dock reaches 3% battery left. - When plugging in my iPhone to the USB, I had the option to import pictures into the Transfomer's gallery. This did not work with a Kodak camera through USB though, but then again you have a microSD and a SD slot. - The stock video player software isn't that great. There's a free app in the Android Market called Mobo. It'll play most video formats, No

Pros: Several points to discuss on the good things about this mouse. 1. Texture. The surface all around is that of some type of textured rubber. It never becomes slippery like some previous mice I've used, and will remain "grippy" for as long as I have it. The mouse wheel is great, very solid movement. The thumb buttons and the index finger button are smooth and easy to press/feel out because of the different surface texture. 2. Software that manages up to 5 different profiles. This is something that can be easily messed up by vendors. There are plenty of options, and it allows for complete customization for any game/power desktop use. I use one profile in Team Fortress 2 to allow for quick weapon switches to first, second, and third weapons, which would normally be keys: # of weapon slot + lmb (or mouse wheel scroll + lmb). It doesn't seem like much but the difference in speed is phenomenal. I also have a desktop use profile where the two thumb buttons are configured for back/forward (alt + left, alt + right). Profile selection is easy with the center key below the mouse wheel. 3. Easily adjustable sensitivity. While I don't really have a practical use for this, the fact that it's there if I'm doing some crazy photo editing (or sniping) is peace of mind. Comes with extra slider feet for when yours wear out. I've had this mouse for almost a year now (always on a soft mouse pad), and the original feet are just fine.

Cons: Not TOO big of an issue, but it was something to note (This happens with all mice, but this particular one was a bit worse). The muscle memory learning curve. You know when you get a new mouse, it feels totally weird and you have to almost consciously think about your hand placement? The thing that was the most difficult to adapt to was the index finger button right next to the the LMB and the wheel. For me personally, my index finger wanted to sit right on the red index finger button, and it was hard to keep it off. Through extensive use, I finally adapted to it, and I have no further issues with it. To me, the switch from my old mouse was worth it. No weight adjustment, BUT the weight is just fine for me.

Overall Review: I think it's overpriced at MSRP (like a lot of things), but that's not to say it isn't worth it. It's a great mouse and it will last.

Pros: - I've been using these for nearly a year for multimedia entertainment on my desktop gaming PC. They handle everything very well, including gaming, music, and movies. - They feel like they have outstanding build quality. They are not light and flimsy like budget 2.0 speakers often are. - Perfect speakers to add to a separate subwoofer and amplifier. - See other thoughts for my recommendations/suggestions about this speaker setup

Cons: The only negative thing I have to say about these, albeit it's a minor one, is that when I adjust the bass knob to the minimum or maximum levels, there is a slight crackling noise. It's only when adjusting the bass knob, not during audio playback.

Overall Review: I think you'll get the best audio quality out of this set of speakers by turning the bass all the way down and using a dedicated subwoofer. By doing this, you get amazingly clear mids/highs and leave no room for the sound to be thickened/muddied on it's way out of the speaker enclosure. I would also highly recommend the Rolls HA43-Pro 4 Output Stereo Headphone Amplifier for your desk setup. This will allow you to add a subwoofer to your audio system and control both the component speaker's and the sub's volume levels separately. With a sound card on your PC, you can also run a completely adjustable surround sound setup (Front L/R, Center, Sub, and Rear L/R on each one of the 4 channels of the "headphone amplifier"). Additionally, the headphone amplifier 'theoretically' cleans up the signal before hitting your speakers, making them cleaner and crisper. I am currently using some spare car audio components I had laying around, including a 1000W Kenwood amp and a 10" Pioneer subwoofer in a sealed enclosure. It's powered in the house by a slightly modified 600W Antec power supply that was also laying around. This is by far the BEST sounding and one of the most well blended audio setups I have ever heard. A lot of it comes down to physical speaker placement and tuning, but these speakers are the best component speakers I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, you don't need everything above to have rich and full audio. These speakers are fantastic right out of the box, hence why I am purchasing another set.

Pros: My Kenwood 9105D Mono amp (1800W) was shutting off randomly for several months. I tested EVERY aspect of my system, bought a new battery, and was still having the problem. I was blowing 80A fuses, and after installing this capacitor, everything was stable. My SUV's stock alternator and new 750 CCA battery did not allow lights to dim a whole lot when the bass hits, but interior incandescent cabin lights dimmed slightly. The dimming isn't completely gone, but it's so minute I don't even notice it. Great performance/price, compared to "name" brands. They say caps make your system hit harder. When my system would hit hard, it would blow a fuse. I cannot say that it is more intense, but it is definitely harder in the sense that I can bump for hours without any worry. - Literally, hours. I drove to the beach ~4.5 hrs away with loud, bass filled music, nearly the entire way.

Cons: Installing it was a bit confusing, and nerve wrecking. This capacitor is capable of delivering a lethal shock if the two contacts are bridged by your body. When I charged the capacitor up to capacity, and removed the resistor from my + cable, the voltage dropped on the cap's display quickly. Somewhere around 1V per second, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if this is normal, since a cap's job is to maintain a huge potential difference. Maybe this is where the difference in brand comes in, because I would imagine the materials used inside (dielectric and plates) would have this draining effect. The poles have no covers.

Overall Review: The bolts are 5/16", if I remember correctly. It's been many months since I installed this, so don't quote me! Flashing blue light which looks neat at night in the trunk area of my hatchback SUV. Be safe! My bass package: Boss 4ga. amp kit, (with upgraded 80A AGU fuse). Kenwood 9105D 1800W Mono Amplifier Dual Kicker Comp. VR 12" in Kicker ported box. (great subs, btw. I wasn't a fan of Kicker until purchasing these). Db Link 4ga. amp wiring kit. Toyota 4Runner Sport

Pros: -The only WORKING solution for the annoying issues I was having with my bass system. See other thoughts. A capacitor is a capacitor. A $150 capacitor is still a capacitor, but with a different logo on it. This thing is cheap and does its job! BOSS Audio manufactured; I've had only positive experiences with their products before. I would recommend this to any bass system with high demands.

Cons: Installation directions seem simple enough, however, they do not mention when to connect the 12V+ power on wire for the display. Charging doesn't work so well when the display (12V) power wire is connected before the cap is charged up. -Made in China. -Cheap plastic mounting brackets. Continued from Other Thoughts.. I had an 80A inline fuse and I blew replaced two that blew out on different occasions. However, it wasn't always the fuse blowing. Most of the time it would shut off, leaving me to check every single connection in my system. After installing this capacitor, the majority of the stress on the electrical system has been put on the capacitor, and I've had no more issues. The bass feels much more powerful in some of my crazy dubstep songs than it did with the old battery/no capacitor installed.

Overall Review: Perhaps somebody is having the same issue as I was prior to installing this capacitor.. I have 2 Kicker CVR 12" in my SUV which pull 800W RMS @ 2Ω. I have a Kenwood 9105D 900W RMS amplifier. My amplifier kept on shutting off. It was not going into protect mode, it just shut off whenever the bass got really loud and deep. When I say loud, I mean to the point where it feels difficult to breathe. The amp would just turn off, and turn on randomely, sometimes never until I took the power wire off the battery (at the fuse box). Best Buy Geek Squad even checked it out, said everything's good. If you listen to music that has sudden bass drops or very low frequencies that you like to play loud, it puts lots of demand on the battery. I even bought a new 700CCA battery for my 4Runner...didn't fix the issue. Anyways, I have concluded that the amp was not getting the current that it needed, so it turned itself off. [Move up to cons, out of room].

Pros: -True Class 10 • Write speeds averaging ~12 MB/s • Read speeds averaging ~ 677 MB/s - Default formats to 30GB exactly. My 16gb flash drives barely format to two GB's less than actual storage volume. Keep in mind, the values in my tests below are the data of only one operation at a time. If you copy/read more than one file at a time the values will be slower.

Cons: No cons at all. Rather, this is another thought, since I'm out of room below in the other thoughts box. The card came with a picture recovery utility on it...aka bloatware. I usually format brand new memory anyways.

Overall Review: These tests were done using a new Core i7 laptop's built in SD reader with the DiskBench utility (Win7 64-bit). Here's the test data from a little spreadsheet I made: [All speed values in MB/s] File Transfer Size Test Run # Read Speed Write Speed 2.6 GB 1 1096.975 14.214 2.6 GB 2 1141.041 14.212 2.6 GB 3 1133.292 14.183 Average Speeds 1123.769 14.203 File Transfer Size Test Run # Read Speed Write Speed 8 MB 1 170.737 3.475 8 MB 2 258.859 13.198 8 MB 3 258.859 13.198 Average Speeds 229.485 9.957 I'm very impressed with write speeds for a cheap card. I will recommend.
