Great heaters
Pros: Great heaters. I use a wood stove to heat. Trust me, no other heat source comes close to the heavenly perfection of a wood stove. But we bought one of these for bathroom or other space heat needs when we don't want / need to have a fire. Worked so well I bought 2 more on sale. One to use, and another just to have in case or give my mom. Great as a space heater. Light, easy to move around, stylish design. Want to heat your whole house? Get a wood stove. Want to heat a room, toast up out of the shower, etc.? These are perfect for that.
Cons: Stinks the first time. Plug it in outside for a half hour and burn the stink off.
Overall Review: Great heaters. Much better than the oil filled one I used to have that takes forever to heat up. These things start throwing off heat in seconds.
Cheap, but problematic
Pros: Cheap. Newegg refunded. I upgraded to a 32" Acer AT3265
Cons: Never worked. It would lose screen image. Tried it with numerous computers and it would always drop or go weird or lose the image.
Overall Review: Newegg comes through with a no hassle return / refund. And I rewarded them by buying a bigger, pricier, way better Acer monitor, the AT3265
great sound for zero cost
Pros: The ever generous egg threw this in with something else I ordered...yes, for free. So my very low expectations were exceeded. You know when you're traveling and watching a movie on your laptop and you can't hear or it sounds flat? Plug this baby in. Still don't know how they get such great sound out of a cheap (free) little thingy. But they do.
Cons: If you carry it boombox style on your shoulder, people will laugh. But then they will hear that rumbly bass from nowhere and start wearing their pants so low their boxers hang out, following you around.
Wife types a lot...LOVES it
Pros: Wife uses it for business. She types a lot. She didn't understand the difference a mechanical keyboard can make. After 5 minutes of use, that changed! She loves it now. Catch it on a deal if you type a lot.
Cons: none
Price for Performance, Best Tablet Value, blows ipad away
Pros: Great tablet. 270 bones. Better than an Ipad at half the price. Beats the Nexus thanks to a plethora of ports missing from the Nexus. Added the keyboard dock for 50 bones from a big retailer who claims their Buy is the Bestest. Asus stays very up to date with Android. Fast, responsive. Most bang for the buck in tablet-land hands down. MicroSD card slot - check. HDMI - check. USB port (with the keyboard dock) - check. Full SD card slot (with the keyboard dock) - check. Blows away the ipad and Google offerings at a fraction of the price. Get it. Then get the keyboard dock. You may find yourself not using your laptop much anymore. GPS. Good cameras also. Battery lasts a long time, solid 8 hours. Add the keyboard dock and you're good for a couple of days. Got the 16gb version for the wife and she loves it, too.
Cons: Doesn't come with keyboard dock. Find one cheap somewhere. Your laptop will get lonely.
Overall Review: Did I mention you should get the keyboard dock?
Great shaver on sale
Pros: Never had a shaver before. Coming from a razer, this is great for me. Gets it smooth in about 2 minutes or so. For 18 bones, YES. Using the original blades for 10 months now, every other day. Still cuts great.
Cons: Batteries aren't replaceable. Don't know if this is common in shavers or not. Not really a con.
