Inexpensive, easy setup, good value
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to set up, variety of inputs
Cons: Tall, not ideal for placement in front of TV, may block IR receiver.
Overall Review: Bought this to supplement my TV speakers which always seem weak. Very easy to set up. Accepted RCA connection from my TV output, plus, bluetooth and 3.5mm inputs. Has an FM radio receiver with lots of presets. I live in a radio hole, so 5 was as many as I could use. Very happy with this product.
Non-standard build components. Not able to be upgraded. No commonality of parts between units of the same production run.
Pros: Good machine at a decent price. But beware, you can't upgrade video. Power supply uses non-standard pinouts.
Cons: Can't upgrade video. Power supply uses non-standard pinouts. If it goes, you hope you can get one from HP, otherwise you're going to be building your own. I ordered two machines in short order, both took PC3 memory. Ordered a third machine a month later, it takes PC3L memory. Now I need two different components to support the same make and line of machine in the same workspace.
Overall Review: HP is engaging in the same sort of FUKKERY that Dell used to do. I dropped Dell like a hot potato and now it looks like it is HPs turn on the chopping block.
100 days and the wireless network adapter is dead
Pros: Light, decent performance. Great while it worked.
Cons: 100 days after purchase, the wireless network adapter is dead and cannot be revived. Very disappointed.
Overall Review: I'll be very leery of buying another MSI product after this experience.
Great workspace addition
Pros: Ordered this lamp for more light at my workspace. Pleased that the unit I received came with a dust cover for the magnifier. This thing throws a lot of light, and the magnifier works very well. This has the effect of making me not hunch over my work. I can sit back comfortably in my chair.
Cons: None yet. I'm holding back one egg to see how it holds up for the long run.
Overall Review: Great addition for your workspace if you have to work on small parts or fine detail.
POOR DESIGN
Pros: Airy, plenty of spots to mount fans, good cable management
Cons: 3.5 inch drive bays require an accessory that is not included and is impossible to find on Cooler Master's web page in order to actually mount 3.5 inch drives in them. I haven't tried yet, but I am willing to bet that the same will be true with the optical drive when I go to mount one.
Cheap feel, improperly cut for Surface Pro 4
Pros: Price
Cons: Physically fit the Surface Pro 4, but had leather over the USB, The front facing camera, and interfered with the charging adapter. The side where you are supposed to hang the stylus is also covered by leather and there's no other provision for any place to put it. Also, if you try to use a type cover with the tablet in this case it's a tight fit and the elastic designed to keep the type cover attached to the case will stop you from using the track pad.
Overall Review: This got a 1 egg because there's no option for zero eggs.
