Nice netbook. ASUS tops it again

Pros: Great speed, definitive improvement over the N450 in my 1008HA ASUS Seashell. Screen is easily readable. Shortcut buttons for wifi/power mode settings are really useful. Keyboard is Mac-esque without the smugness and aluminum. Keys type softly, touchpad is pretty intuitive. I'm very satisfied with the overall operation and the battery life so far is ridiculously long I plug it in at night and it's hardly down. Wifi reception is also excellent.
Cons: The online storage shafted me because I already had a 10GB account. It never increased with the new netbook activation, there are no instructions really anywhere that are clear about specifics which resulted in me using my previous account to login and getting the shaft. I'm not sure how to begin straightening it out and hopefully I can find customer support help.
Overall Review: Cloud services are great when you get it all squared away. The memory speed is 1333 (PC3-10600) which you can't find posted ANYWHERE. CNET blew it in the review and said it was DDR2 667 which is way off. I would recommend this model or any ASUS netbook, I've had a few and loved them all dearly. I will try to update later as time goes on and I figure out more pros and cons. Hope this helps!
Dead after 4 years

Pros: Worked really well for several years. OC functions are nice, on board graphics were pretty good for non-gaming usage.
Cons: Died after 4 years. Slowly began having start up issues and finally wouldn't POST even will all attachments removed.
Overall Review: Excellent feature design. I'd like to see more with similar offerings in the future.
Well worth it!

Pros: Great buds! Sound is immaculate. 10mm drivers produce the right amount of bass. Highs aren't overly sharp. I'm extremely happy for having only paid fifteen bucks. Blows the iPod gen4 and gen5 units I had clear away.
Cons: Midrange seems a tad weak, might be due to the poor quality of MP3 files and that my phone has naturally poor equalizer settings.
Overall Review: Let's face it. I love to have some great mobile sounds but I'm not paying for noise cancelling units or anything fancy due to the fact that they'll more than likely be trampled/lost/eaten anyway. See also: Murphy's Law.
Amazing machine.

Pros: Lenovo makes some excellent products. I feel that all of these desktops are a high cost to performance ratio because I build my own desktops. However, this was purchased for my mother through an education fund. The wifi antenna is a beast with a ~4ft extended magnetic base for dual N antennas. The case is beautiful and well vented, no lack of fans like other mfg's. It has a literal physical switch on the front to adjust the clock speed / limits. It changes colors with the 3 modes and is very slick. The writeup here does little justice to how fancy this unit is feature-wise.
Cons: Anemic power supply, check any of the other factory produced units in the market.
Overall Review: Lenovo customer support is the best I have ever experienced with anything tech-based. Call centers are typically in Atlanta when I need things. Ironic because Lenovo is a Chinese company and has the sense to base customer service for the states... in the states. Score!
Nice monitor at a great price

Pros: Great monitor. Produces minimal heat. I purchased one with speakers for my parents due to the simplicity factor. The picture is deep and clear, LED backlighting is the way to go. Easy-setting modes are functional and effective. Finish on the exterior is really classy also. Can't go wrong with this fine monitor in my opinion.
Cons: Button navigation isn't always easy. I'd like to have it with HDMI for this price.... VGA and DVI require a 3.5mm jack. I'm fine with how it is though.
Overall Review: Great monitor for the price. I buy all sorts of ASUS items when the price is comparable to others in the category. I haven't had great luck with ASUS customer support in the past, and their English writing in responses and the product literature is usually pretty bad, but few companies do it well.
Nice little kit

Pros: Rosewill makes a ton of different things now that are all nice. For a few bucks this is a steal. Great gift item, I got it for my dad since he loves wine. Looks pricier than it is, which is also a plus. The metal is heavy/solid and appears to be of above average quality.
Cons: The thermometer is only in Celsius. If you're old enough to drink enough wine that you will actually use this kit, you probably don't care or understand the significance of the Celsius scale.
Overall Review: Again, great gift idea. It might be nice to have a paper inside explaining what the fruit some of the things are actually for, as I'm sure if you give it to someone they may not know.
