Eggselent CPU!!!
Pros: You will find this CPU (when teamed with a motherboard that will O/C) to be on par with any CPU now available. We used a cheap little Biostar M/B w/ a Xigmatek Loki CPU fan to yield a stable 4600 and a WEI score of 7.8 We could take it higher ...but why?
Cons: The price on these will go down as new and better ones come forward, but you already KNEW that!
Overall Review: I really enjoy the smooth responsiveness of this CPU w/ 16 GB of memory and Windows 7. Everything is snappy with the sense of power you might get by paying hundreds of dollars more...but again, why?
DLink missed on this one.
Pros: The product was cheap, however a low price often indcates an inferior product. That axiom is certainly true in this case.
Cons: Windows 7 hates this device. Having installed on several computers, the driver is found and installed but the device does not activate until the DLink bloatware is installed. Even then, it will not connect to a hidden SSID. It is possible we just got a bad batch (five of them) however it is more likely just a subpar product. Windows network and sharing center reports an "unknown error" when attempting to build a network connection.
Overall Review: Edimax has a nano adapter that installs first time every time.
Small cute and DOA!
Pros: This board has great potential, and many features that could turn a tech's head The size is amazing for the feature set.
Cons: As cute as this board was, I could never get any life from it. I tried many ram sticks, power supplies and exhausted my motherboard boot experience to no avail.
Overall Review: A close inspection of the board after my decision to return it revealed human hairs on the board which seemed to affirm my suspicion this motherboard had been repackaged. Closer scrutiny of the cpu pin area seemed to indicated one or two pins out of alignment. I do not buy MSI boards often for precisely these sort of issues
Slow shipping
Pros: Great drives whenever they get delivered
Cons: Ordered early July 23 and it now July 30 and no sign of drives yet
Overall Review: Strange how free shipping turns out to be your fault when it does not get here on time.
Device not recognized
Pros: The price and yield per ink cartridge advertised were attractive.
Cons: The printer could not be recognized by any of the office machines by USB.
Overall Review: It would really be nice if these printer were actually checked before they went out the door
Nice little web book
Pros: Lightweight, instant on when you open the lid, long battery life of about 8 hours I appreciate the higher speed "n" wireless adapter as it greatly increases the speed of browsing the web.
Cons: Slower than most laptops, small storage space, and not enough apps to replace a full laptop
Overall Review: It does what it is supposed to do...namely get you on the web to view web pages. However, do not think that you will be able to do all the things you might be able to do on a full laptop, because it will not do it.
Slowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
If you buy from these guys, I hope you do not need to use it for a while. I have had shipping from China take less time!!!!!
