Most Favorable Review

Nice price...

Toshiba Q Series 128GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) HDTS212XZSTA
Toshiba Q Series 128GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) HDTS212XZSTA

Pros: Cheap & Fast

Cons: None

Overall Review: Replaced a painfully slow 7200 RPM Barracuda system drive in my HP Microserver. Wow... what a difference this little gem made. No smoke yet so life is good.

Most Critical Review

Who knows...

MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card RX 580 GAMING X+ 8G
MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card RX 580 GAMING X+ 8G

Pros: Looks like a nice graphics card...

Cons: Arrived DOA, no replacement available on Newegg. Shipped to MSI for repair under 3 yr warranty. They shipped it back broken. Shipped it back to them again. They are apparently unable to repair or replace and are offering me a refund. Maybe I can get one next year...

Overall Review: Probably not wise to buy MSI again. :-(

So sick of Samsung

Samsung C27FG70 27” Curved Quantum Dot 1ms (MPRT) 144hz sRGB 125% AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1920 x 1080 HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Screen Split
Samsung C27FG70 27” Curved Quantum Dot 1ms (MPRT) 144hz sRGB 125% AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1920 x 1080 HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Screen Split

Pros: Nice "looking" monitor

Cons: 90 days in and I'm looking at a total mess. Yellow swirls and flickering on every interface. Second piece of Samsung video gear I've bought that didn't last a year. I would say they suck. 30 Day return policy... It's got a one year warranty from Samsung so they're paying for the shipping. Now to find a box to ship a 27" curved monitor back in??? I guess that's all on me, and if it gets damaged, let me guess... You suck Samsung!

Overall Review: Don't buy anything made by Samsung.

Found something better...

Rosewill Black 10000 mAh 2-Port External Backup Battery Portable Charger for iPhone / iPod / iPad RCBR-11014
Rosewill Black 10000 mAh 2-Port External Backup Battery Portable Charger for iPhone / iPod / iPad RCBR-11014

Pros: Charged stuff... came with a nice coiled USB cable (where can I get more of these?)

Cons: It's kinda large and heavy... duh, it's a battery. Lots of little connector pieces to lose. Needs a case or something to keep all the little parts in.

Overall Review: I actually ended up losing this thing about a week after I bought it. It's too big to carry around and comes with all these little connectors so unless you provide your own ZipLock bag you're bound to lose most of it. I did manage to keep the little coiled USB cable so maybe not a total loss.

Perfect...

RAVPower® RP-PB08 Slim Power Bank (2600mAh/1A Output) w/ Built-in Flashlight, for Smartphone&Tablet:iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPhone 5, 4S, 4G;Samsung Galaxy Note 2, S3, S2;Lumia 920 and other Mobile Devices
RAVPower® RP-PB08 Slim Power Bank (2600mAh/1A Output) w/ Built-in Flashlight, for Smartphone&Tablet:iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPhone 5, 4S, 4G;Samsung Galaxy Note 2, S3, S2;Lumia 920 and other Mobile Devices

Pros: Just the right size. Will totally recharge my cell phone (Lumia 920) in 30 - 45 minutes. Stays constantly plugged into the USB port in my car's center console. Flashlight is nice and bright too.

Cons: What's with the ugly white cable?

Overall Review: I initially bought a larger unit that was just a battery. I think it took me about a week to lose it. This thing is perfect.

Hard to tell...

Qi Wireless Power Charger Transmitter Pad and Qi Wireless Charging Receiver for Samsung Galaxy S3 III i9300 White
Qi Wireless Power Charger Transmitter Pad and Qi Wireless Charging Receiver for Samsung Galaxy S3 III i9300 White

Pros: It's wireless and the receiver seems to fit the phone well.

Cons: Wife says it charges very slowly and if you have multiple batteries you really need one of these receivers for each one. They use sticky-back keep them in place on the battery (inside the phone). Also, the transmitter pad is absolutely enormous. It's got one of those crazy bright blue LEDs that will light up your entire bedroom at night.

Overall Review: I bought a nice Nokia Lumia 920 Windows phone with built in wireless charging... However, my wife opted for the Samsung Galaxy III which doesn't come with such features (even though it was twice the price). Everything installed nicely but it just didn't work as well as my factory installed system.
