Most Favorable Review

finally the one that worked

TRENDnet Micro Bluetooth 4.0 Class I USB 2.0 with Distance Up to 100 Meters / 330 Feet. Compatible with Win 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP Classic Bluetooth, and Stereo Headset, TBW-106UB

Pros: Surprisingly many of these dongles are actually USB hubs with bluethooth hanging off of one port. I'm putting this on a small embedded system and the hub was messing up my USB config. Finding a dongle that was NOT a hub and would load into an older Linux kernel proved surprisingly difficult. So I'm sure this 5 star rating is meaningless to most of you, because you're using a PC, but it worked great for me.

Cons: NOne

Most Critical Review

Great once you get it rolling

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne (CF399A) up to 35 ppm 1200 x 1200 dpi USB/Ethernet Duplex Workgroup Monochrome Laser Printer
HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne (CF399A) up to 35 ppm 1200 x 1200 dpi USB/Ethernet Duplex Workgroup Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: Quality printer

Cons: Power save should be optional

Overall Review: Some devices can't seem to get the printer out of power save . This forces me to manually go poke the printer. This is very annoying when not in the same room.

when it's good...

Hanns-G 19" LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI HX193DPB
Hanns-G 19" LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI HX193DPB

Pros: 1 of 2 has worked for 3 years fantastic

Cons: 2 of 2 worked for 4 weeks

Overall Review: I think the bottom line with this monitor is it's cheap and if you can get one that works its a great deal, but there's a decent chance you're going to get one that fails

Just fine

TRENDnet Wireless-G IP Camera with 1 detachable dipole antenna, 1 way Audio (TV-IP501W)
TRENDnet Wireless-G IP Camera with 1 detachable dipole antenna, 1 way Audio (TV-IP501W)

Pros: Decent looking color video. Does well outside so long as protected from rain. Audio works decent. Has basic FTP interface so I can do lots of scripting things from Linux with video.

Cons: Web interface does not support Firefox well. Audio has an echo. Need Windoz to get it set up.

Overall Review: Lots of users complaining about not being able to route the video to the Internet. I'm not sure what this has to do with the camera. It works fine. You have to configure your router. Assign the camera a static IP address to make it simpler.
