Most Favorable Review

Best CPU I ever purchased!!!!

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT55TFBGRBOX
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT55TFBGRBOX

Pros: Within the last months, I purchased an Intel Q9400 and Phenom II X4 955BE and OC'd both of them to help with my video editing/encoding work. These CPU for its price rocks! and is 50% faster than either of my former CPUs - for power users who need all available cores you know what I mean. Stays cooler than any of my other CPUs because of its power down features when multithreaded apps aren't running If you are a power user, you can't beat this price! Go AMD! for giving us an affordable yet powerful hexacore!

Cons: Never opened the stock heatsink that came with it so I don't know how it performs. Using a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ also from Newegg. Happy with it.

Overall Review: Would do it all again. If i could simultaneously edit two videos and needed another machine, I'd buy this CPU again!

Most Critical Review

First Review

Flip UltraHD Camcorder - White & Chrome, 120 Minutes
Flip UltraHD Camcorder - White & Chrome, 120 Minutes

Pros: 1. Good price for HD 2. Convenient features such as charging batterres through USB, built in memory card for 2 hours of video 3. Built in software for ease of use 4. Accepts regualr or Nimh AA batteries 5. Shipped batteries were partially charged so I was able to check the device right away

Cons: 1. Factory warranty is only 90 days so be sure to use it as much as you can and thoroughly test it. 2. Disappointment minutes after opening box and unable to open the cover to install the battery. I inspected the cover and found that the paint sealed the case cover. I had to take a modeler's scalpel knife to cut the paint in order to break the seal. What kind of quality control is that when you assemble and the paint isn't dry yet? Poor. 3. Need very steady hands to hold or film with this camera as it's very light and also slippery

Overall Review: Will write second review after checking picture quality. It will take a miracle to make it to 5 eggs but there is chance it can make it to 4 eggs.

Doesn't work right

Mini MP3 Player LCD Screen USB Support 32GB Micro SD TF Card Sport Compact
Mini MP3 Player LCD Screen USB Support 32GB Micro SD TF Card Sport Compact

Pros: cheap price

Cons: did not work right after one week battery lasts 15 minutes after a full charge sound gives off intermittent static noise and then constant static noise

Overall Review: would not buy this if I could go back in time

Errors after 6 months

Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00
Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00

Pros: cheap price, lifetime warranty, got it because of sale price and now I know why

Cons: errors occured after 6 months causing BSODs, defective ram verified with diagnostic tools,

Overall Review: will stay away from this brand for future purchases

Another Great Newegg Deal

FUJIFILM FINEPIX S1800 Black 12.0 MP 18X Optical Zoom 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera
FUJIFILM FINEPIX S1800 Black 12.0 MP 18X Optical Zoom 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera

Pros: 1. Price, very competitive for all the features, extreme digital zoom, full manual control, burst modes 2. Pretty much satisfies as a "bridge" camera between point/shoot and DSLR for a nice price 3. Got a FUJI free case (you'll want one unless it you want it scratched up in your backpack

Cons: 1. Not for the the beginner or inexperienced digital photographer - you have to know your ideal shooting settings and light to get all what thos camera offers 2. For those being awed by the specs, ie very long digital zoom, you'll need a tripod for each shot but the wide angles are awesome 3. Not the best in low light if yo don't want flash so you'll have to go ISO 400 or higher and hopefully your photo editing software can erase the noise and bring in the dynamic range. 4. The HD video is average so don't think you're getting both a great camera for photos and super HD video because the video even at 720p with all the zoom and wide angles is not as nice as the Flip but better than Creativer Vado 2nd Gen.

Overall Review: Would have given it 4 stars but since I got a free $18 quality FUJI camera bag, it means I paid $150 for this camera and that earns the fifth star. BUT! w/out the free bag, this camera is worth about $150 but not much more. I see this camera's price going to $120-ish or lower by year end A second review to follow

Does what it's designed to do

ZEIKOS ZE-DS12 Digital Camera Slave Flash w/Bracket
ZEIKOS ZE-DS12 Digital Camera Slave Flash w/Bracket

Pros: Small, convenient for manual macro shots but have not tried for anything past 10 feet when used w/ oncamera flash for photographing small items, it's effective

Cons: not sure, using rechargeable batteries but probably with regular alkaline you'll go through sets of batteries if you takes lots of photos

Overall Review: would have been nicer if the flash head rotated or had a soft focus cover/adapter
