Most Favorable Review

Swing arm mount for a larger flat screen

ProHT by Inland 05414 23" - 55" Articulating TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV, VESA 400x400, max load 66 lbs. with 6 ft HDMI cable compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV
ProHT by Inland 05414 23" - 55" Articulating TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV, VESA 400x400, max load 66 lbs. with 6 ft HDMI cable compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV

Pros: Stud installation went smoothly. System for mounting my 42" flat screen permitted my wife and I to do it. (Fortunately there was a stud exactly where needed to have TV where I wanted it.)

Cons: Read the directions first and there were none.

Overall Review: Would not recommend mounting this mounting to other than a stud or cement wall.

Most Critical Review

Card Failed

WINTEC FileMate 16GB Professional Class 10 Secure Digital SDHC Card - Retail
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Professional Class 10 Secure Digital SDHC Card - Retail

Pros: Large Capacity. Very Fast. Worked well in Nikon 5100. The price was extremely reasonable.

Cons: At end of 2nd year while photographing a once in a lifetime trip the card failed between photos at the Grand Canyon.

Overall Review: The trade off on this 16 GB Class 10 SD-card is not so great. Would have replaced annually and especially before such a great retirement trip had literature indicate it would be necessary.

Seems to be an extremely good starter Quadcopter to learn with

Pros: Compared to the alternatives considered this is tops in the price range

Cons: The instructions appear to have been written in a foreign language and then translated by a computer. Difficult to tell when usb battery pack charger is charged.

Overall Review: I would recommend this for anyone whose interested in a quadcopter with some very nice bells and whistles. But I would warn anyone who is banal as I am about reading and thoroughly understanding all directions before proceeding to look at the owner's manual before ordering. I have not yet actually tried to fly it as I am still looking at YouTube videos to be certain I am not going to risk wrecking my UDI U818A-HD on its maiden flight.

Wavlink's adapter works great and connects quickly even to older routers

Wavlink 1300Mbps WiFi Card, AC1300 Dual Band 2.4G/5G WiFi Adapter USB 3.0 Wireless Adapter, 802.11ac High Gain 2 x 3dBi Antennas Network Card With WPS Button supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Mac OS
Wavlink 1300Mbps WiFi Card, AC1300 Dual Band 2.4G/5G WiFi Adapter USB 3.0 Wireless Adapter, 802.11ac High Gain 2 x 3dBi Antennas Network Card With WPS Button supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Mac OS

Pros: Connected solidly to my old Linksys b/g router (WRT54GS) Wireless speed 15 Mbps is acceptable for my purposes -- Ethernet speed is 65 Mbps.) When using my notebook the router has not crashed one time.

Cons: Instructions are light. Took a bit to find a way to use the adapter with my old router.

Overall Review: My new notebook uses Intel's 7265-AC wireless adapter which connected with both of the AC routers I have tried while they were working. The Linksys has been rock solid for the past month and now I can connect wirelessly to it. Almost did not buy when I saw that Good Reviews were paid for and I consider them worthless, but with Newegg backing the play, I thought 'Why Not?' (Incidentally, I will not apply for or accept the "GOOD REVIEW REWARD.)

ASUS RT-AC3200 Problems

ASUS AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router, AiProtection Lifetime Security by Trend Micro, Adaptive QoS, Parental Control
ASUS AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router, AiProtection Lifetime Security by Trend Micro, Adaptive QoS, Parental Control

Pros: It's fast when it works It has great range when it works It looks good all of the time. ASUS tech service is easily contacted.

Cons: After receiving the router only worked briefly, then failed. Contacted my ISP and it worked briefly. After help from ASUS it worked then began failing intermittently. Over the next three weeks ASUS helped several times and each time it would work 3 to 7 days then begin failing intermittently.

Overall Review: I recommend a router that works like this one, when it worked. In the end ASUS decided the router could not be fixed over the phone and offered to RMA it for repairs, NOT replacement, with the return shipping at my expense. Fortunately, Newegg's 30-day from purchase warranty covered it and Newegg accept it for replacement with RMA shipping pre-paid. Thanks to Newegg I am expecting a replacement that WORKS all of the time. THANKS NEWEGG! Remember that the 30-day warranty, where applicable, starts the day you order any device.

Seagate 2.5" SSHD

Seagate ST500LM000 500GB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop Thin SSHD Bare Drive
Seagate ST500LM000 500GB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop Thin SSHD Bare Drive

Pros: My old MX6912 Gateway laptop boots significantly faster. The 5X larger HD capacity is much appreciated. Installed in less than 20 minutes. (It took me longer researching how to properly open this notebook and to watch a 'How To' video.')

Cons: {{Not sure this is related, but after doing a clean install of Windows 7 I found that the DVD would not read some software (like PS-5) disks and trying to do it with a USB drive ended with Check Disk opening. I was able to re-install other software (like MS-Office).}} I have noted occasional instantaneous screen flashes I had not been previously aware of.

Overall Review: After the SSHD install I opened Device Manager & saw Disk Drives listed the new drive as "ATA ST500M00-1EJ16" BUT also saw that Mass Storage Controller now has a yellow tag (Code 28). Tried to update driver, but none found online.

Great chair

I am 6'4" and 210#. I now use the chair daily for 15 minutes. I found the lower back rollers a bit intense and have added a pad. The length of legs prevents fully inserting my calves even when I recline and fully extend the foot rest. All-in-all I am quite impressed and heartily recommend the chair.
