Pros: color is fine for this green case project I building for my son; price is very good.

Cons: The per unit shiiping costs for this item were very high and did not decrease much based upon quantity. I was going to buy about a dozen cables to prep for my next case project but the per unit shipping costs were close to $1.50 each! So I bought less than I would have wanted.

Overall Review: Overall a good product at a fair price; I don't think the shipping cost is a Newegg issue, probably just that manufacturer or distributor. Newegg still gets the bulk of my hardware business!

Pros: Price, size. I like a somewhat longer headset so the mike can be closer to your mouth. It paired with my iPhone after a reboot, but the initial snafu was probably an Apple issue.

Cons: A few, but minor quibbles. It uses a proprietary charging mechanism which worries me, but my headsets rarely last more than year so maybe the headset will outlast the charging stand. 2nd - the initial earpiece cover was a bit large for my ear but the smaller one is much more comfortable. I was concerned about switching it out since the mechanisms look somewhat flimsy, but, hey, $18. I bought another one today for my Dad.

Pros: Blazing fast and appears stable

Cons: As an experienced user and tech geek, this gave a "no internet" error several times. It was delivered with an outdated firmware from May 2015 but was bought in Feb 2016. Tsk tsk. It required several reboots to finally stay up and connected but once it did, it has been stable for 3 days. It appears that there are fewer options for power users, but for the basic user it should suffice. .

Overall Review: Got this on a sale with a free AC wireless adapter for <$100. A great deal.

Pros: when this worked it was fine. My daughter loved using it at college

Cons: Second time completely dead. The first time, in Feb '15 the screen went completely blank - dead. Had to ship it back for repair. That took over a month. Now the wifi is completely dead. Even Windows notes it is a hardware issue. Acer changed the SNID sticker so that it is no longer a valid SN. I had to find the March return info and previous S/N in order to place a repair order. I am seriously disappointed this time.

Overall Review: We have an old Acer laptop that is still running and works excellently. That is why I bought this. They get one more chance...I buy way too much electronics to get burned by the same company twice.

Pros: This ran excellently for a few months...

Cons: I am finally giving up. This was D-Link's top router for a while but it is too much of a headache. Besides the inability to connect to Apple products, now the 2.4 Ghz band is becoming erratic with laptops as well as the phones and iPads. I must constantly (every two days or so) disconnect and reconnect adapters, reset them, etc. As I look back on my ownership of this, I had problems with the 5GHz band, then constant problems with Apple products, now it is starting to give me connection issues on a laptop 8 feet away from it.

Overall Review: This is an update to my August review. This situation is irritating because I still have a D-Link AP and a pair of switches in my configuration. I tried to stick with this since I am an OCD techie and a cheap skate but I can't spend 30 minutes every two days resetting a router, fiddling with configuration, especially when I experience none of these problems on the devices with a Linksys configured as an AP located downstream of the D-Link (via a switch). FYI - we have a floor plan with lots of walls, windows, and mirrors obstructing my wi-fi signals but our neighbors are all pretty far away, so I have isolated the issues to the DIR-857. As the primary router - with everything else configured as an AP on variable channels I should not be experiencing these issues.

Pros: A very nice laptop - so far relatively fast, lots of storage - definitely the best bang for the buck which is why I chose it.

Cons: Windows 8 is having update problems...I really wish there was a downgrade option to Win 7 on this laptop. I am going to try to get this fixed over the weekend otherwise I may have to return it... I hate Windows 8 - in fact, if I return this laptop it will be exclusively due to Win 8. It may be the worst example of monopoly power being exerted over the development of a product I can cite in modern times. Fortunately there are other laptops with Win 7 installed or with a downgrade option. Unfortunately I did not see any of these sold by Gigabyte. So if I can't make this work by Monday I will return it and buy another brand.

Overall Review: Kudos to Newegg for their Premier program. It is worth every penny.
