Two For Two...

BIOSTAR TA970 Ver. 5.3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
BIOSTAR TA970 Ver. 5.3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Where else can one buy a functional and decent AMD 970/SB950 MB for less? Have purchased two of these in the last month from NewEgg. Each has functioned flawlessly, and both have withstood hours of non-stop full-bore torture testing, without a hiccup. A good "value" board that I will be buying more of to use in future builds.

Cons: Not really a con, but know what you're buying. This is an 4+2 phase MB, not an 8+2 (or more), and is not suited for all-out, pedal to the metal, over-clocked gaming. The UEFI BIOS, is *not* graphical, does not operate with a mouse, and is not on a par with more expensive MB BIOs' in this class. That said, it's a usable BIOS, but not one for noobs. Lastly, the size of this MB is smaller than many ATX class MB's. Installed one board in a new Rosewill Galaxy 01 case, and the other, in a Thermaltake Versa II. In both cases, a couple of the "east-side" mounting holes did not line up correctly, leaving the RAM/Power Plug side of the board with out good support (where it's most needed). Easily remedied though. I simply fashioned some plastic supports out of some material I had, and used those.

Overall Review: One board was installed with an AMD 965BE (over-clocked to 3900Ghz), and the other, with an FX6300 (over-clocked to 4000Ghz). Cranked at 100% for hours, all temps stayed below, and within spec. Be sure, if you're overclocking, to get your BIOS fan settings right, first, by installing a decent monitoring program, like HWiNFO64, which gives *correct* readings of the NB (where heat could be a concern).

Customer Service Problems

Avast Internet Security 2019, 3 PCs 1 Year - Download
Avast Internet Security 2019, 3 PCs 1 Year - Download

Pros: Price was right.

Cons: I used paid Avast security for nearly a decade on all my computers, but, after they started doing "up-sell" pop-ups all the time, I installed a competitor's product. Upon expiration of that product, I decided to give Avast another shot, especially at the price of purchase. Then, the problems started. I have not been able to activate the Avast product, no matter what I try (and this, despite 25yrs. of building & working on computers). NewEgg did their best to help, to no avail (thanks NewEgg!). I initially wrote Avast Support almost TEN DAYS ago. It took them 4 days to answer (asking for info I'd already sent them), and now, going on 5 days later, not a word nor solution from this company.

Overall Review: Given the poor customer support, I cannot recommend Avast, no matter the price. As it is, because the purchase was/is non-refundable, I am stuck with nothing but an invoice for my money, and no working software. Thanks for nothing Avast.

Quietly does its job.

Malwarebytes Premium Security - 3 Device / 1 Year - Download
Malwarebytes Premium Security - 3 Device / 1 Year - Download

Pros: Malwarebytes seems to catch things even my top-pine anti-virus app doesn't. I've used it for years, and have never had a sucessfull attack on any of my computers. Need more be said?

Cons: None.

Overall Review: In my opinion, the best protection one can buy, and a great value at its price.

Great buy for a nice laptop!

IPASON MaxBook P1 Pro-IPS 15.6'' Laptop intel i5, 8G RAM, 256G SSD,win 10 home Notebook Computer Ultra Thin and Light Notebook Business Office Student
IPASON MaxBook P1 Pro-IPS 15.6'' Laptop intel i5, 8G RAM, 256G SSD,win 10 home Notebook Computer Ultra Thin and Light Notebook Business Office Student

Pros: Arrived quickly. Once loaded with all my favorite software, it runs fast with no hardware issues whatsoever. Has all the features (ports, Bluetooth, HDMI, etc.) most would need. Perfect for home and student users. It's not a gaming machine, but doesn't cost like one either!

Cons: Can't find a "Con". There was a small issue with the Windows 11 it came with, but was quickly solved in a jiffy via email with IPASON Customer Service. All is well.

Overall Review: I would buy another and recommend it highly. The price can't be beat for a machine that functions this well. Note, I've been building desktops since the days of DOS, and own several other laptops.

A top buy in headphones

Rosewill SAROS C740S Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Rechargeable with up to 40 Hours of Playtime, 40mm Driver, Superior HQ Sound, Foldable Earcups, Portable for Travel
Rosewill SAROS C740S Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Rechargeable with up to 40 Hours of Playtime, 40mm Driver, Superior HQ Sound, Foldable Earcups, Portable for Travel

Pros: The headphones came packaged well, with a manual one could understand. At the price there are no serious complaints. They are comfortable, the controls work well, as does the ANC (which is rare to find at this price), and it seems to hold a charge well. As far as the sound goes, they handle bass really well and fidelity is fantastic for the price. Overall sound is as good as those I've bought that were much more expensive. I've now bought two pair. The first one is holding up perfectly after months of use, and now have another bass backup.

Overall Review: I would (and did) buy these again. Don't wait until they disappear. Best headphones I've tried over the years for the money.

Good protection

Bitdefender Total Security 2025 - 5 Devices / 1 Year - Download
Bitdefender Total Security 2025 - 5 Devices / 1 Year - Download

Pros: I've been using BitDefender (with a backup of Malwarebytes) for years, and have not had a single infection. Using good sense with email and downloads is mandatory, regardless of the security one has. Newegg had a great price on it too!

Cons: None thing to complain about.

Overall Review: Yes, I highly recommend this app.

Nice price and it works!

Works well. Used a Windows to USB app to copy my Windows 11 install onto a new M.2 with it, and all went well. Only complaint I have, is that the I could not for the life of me, get the little rubber screw replacements they include to hold the M.2 securely, into the hole. Instead, I found a tiny screw of the appropriate size and length and used it to secure the M.2. I'd buy this again, but would like to see rubber "screws" that fit included.

Great little laptop!

Delivery was fast, the laptop works great and is faster than expected. Mine came with Windows 11 Home. Contacted IPASON Customer Service over a small issue that was fixed fast via email. The price can't be beat. Perfect for home, a student, and more! I highly recommend, and may buy another for a family member. Note, that I've been building desktops since the days of DOS, and own several other laptops. (:
