Pros: Refurb unit at low price--great price/performance ratio, esp with the keyboard/battery pack. Because of its smaller size, way easier to hold than Microsoft Surface RT. Still awkward in portrait mode, just less so than the RT. Mine came installed with Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), not 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) like the spec says.

Cons: Touchpad and keyboard sensitivity cannot be adjusted, so any stray palm touch can completely derail your pointer position, or twitchy finger gets you double letters like other users point out. Updating to Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean 2) was haphazard. Asus's server was not responsive (keep getting server busy error). Downloaded the package onto an microsSD card, but it took a while for the machine to recognize there is an update on the microSD. Had to give the file an .apk extension to get the machine to recognize it.

Overall Review: Not high res like the Nexus 10 or the Transformer Infinity (T700) but doesn't create eye strain even at this lower res.

Pros: Small form factor, light weight, good LED indicator

Cons: Single USB 3.0 port (not clear in the product title). I had another one from TekRepublic that had 4x USB 3.0 port that looked identical. Should have checked carefully. Problem is onceI plugged in other USB 2.0 devices (mouse and keyboard), the USB 3 port drops to USB 2 speed or lower, when compared to plugging in the external drive directly to the Surface Pro. The Surface Pro needs a multi-port device, but this isn't it.

Overall Review: Get one that have truly segegated USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 controllers for best throughput.

Pros: Fast start up, low lag Big zoom range (extra wide 20mm to extra tele 1200, 35mm equiv) Clear LCD Sharp lens for a P&S Dizzying amount of features, e.g. an automatic panorama mode (but only at 20mm).

Cons: 1. Small apertures, as expected for a compact zoom P&S, but particularly at the telephoto, the aperture range is f/5.9 to 8. No amount of optical image stabilization (OIS) is going to help at 1200mm with that combination of aperture and reasonable ISO. And the OIS in this camera is nowhere near what a DSLR or even the Olympus OM-D cameras can do. 2. Sensor is small to accommodate a reasonable sized super-zoom camera, so don't expect great low light performance. 3. Non-tilting LCD makes it harder to shoot off angle, but the LCD has a relatively wide field of view. 4. Non-touch screen LCD. Unlike Panasonic m4/3 cameras which had touch screens even a few years back. 5. Electronic View Finder (EVF) is bright, but not high res compared to the GX7 (a $1000 camera), and the eyepiece is hard plastic. No rubber cup accessory from Panasonic as far as I can tell. 6. Switching between EVF/LCD is manual--there is no eye sensor for auto switching. The manual switch is easily located within the right thumb's reach. 7. Tripod mount is offsetted from the lens' axis by about 2.5cm/1in. This matter if one is trying to do panoramas manually. 8. Raw files is a proprietary format, may not be readable by your software. Even between various Panasonic cameras, there are different versions of their RW2. The included software (SilkyPix) is hard to use.

Overall Review: Great advanced point and shoot camera. With its long zoom range, it is a grab and go camera that is capable of great results if you take into account its limitations (see Cons section). You can search for other professional reviews.

Pros: Sustained write speed is approximately as specified, 25MB/s when transferring a 12GB file. Since this drive is priced similar to an average USB 2.0 drive on $/GB basis, it is somewhat of a bargain because the average USB 2.0 write speed is about 15MB/s (based on 6 different ones I have). Spring loaded mechanism eliminate the need for a cap.

Cons: The Patriot Supersonic USB 3.0 drive priced at 2x the price gets 2x write speed. The Supersonic performs similarly to a USB 3.0 7200 RPM HDD at about 60MB/s sustained write speed.

Pros: 1. Simple to install. 2. Accommodates both 9.5 and 12mm thick 2.5" drives. 3. Faster than eSATA in transfer speeds, but not 10x USB 2.0. (For comparison, using the same drive but different enclosures: eSATA gives me average 61MB/s transfer speed, USB 3.0 gives me 71MB/s, USB 2.0 25MB/s). 4. The bag is big enough for both the enclosure and the cable-most of the drive enclosures that I bought in the past come with a bag that fits just the enclosure.

Cons: USB 3.0 cable is awkward. The main cable is too short, yet it has a second standard sized USB head on the other end that doesn't do anything. I guess it can be used for a drive that doesn't have that that new USB 3.0 micro connector (not sure what it is called, but common on USB 3.0 drive enclosures).

Overall Review: The curved design has no function whatsoever.

Pros: Lightweight, noiseless.

Cons: Assembly is a little klugey in that you have to remove the LED signal cable to put out the mount, mount the drive, reconnect the LED signal cable (hopefully you remember which direction it should be oriented).

Overall Review: Could not get eSATA portion to work properly with a 1.5TB Seagate drive attached to a Rosewill Express Card 34 2x eSATA on a Dell XPS 1530. Worked fine in USB 2.0 mode. Also can work with Vantech PCICMA eSATA card. And the drive works fine in eSATA when housed in a Rosewill RX358 external drive. Buyers should heed the mfg specified drive size limit.
