Pros: Super easy point an shoot mode, anyone with a button finger can produce some really amazing shots with this guy. The macro feature is really impressive, some of the details you see in the actual image weren't even visible when I viewed the subject with my own eyes. You just never go wrong with a Canon camera. The video function turned out to be a life saver since we forgot our normal video camera. We may not need a video camera anymore. Plugs right into my Linux PC and copies images/videos down easy breezy. Gets a +1 for that alone. Perfect pocket camera too, not bulky to carry along.

Cons: Not really a con but, I'm still learning all the buttons and sometimes they just seem a little awkward but again, it's not the camera as much as it is user error.

Overall Review: I got this one to replace an old Canon S-30, yeah that old, which still works perfectly. The S-30 was like carring half of a brick around in your pocket all day but really it was quite a camera, so Canon was the only thing I looked at. I don't really know how much better these things can get, they're so far and above what they were when I got my first Kodak DC200 digital that its amazing. Better not forget too, Newegg had this thing to me in record time, as usual, so I got to carry it with us on our trip down to the USVI.....wtg Newegg. You rock.

Pros: Setup is Easy. You can back up the configuration of the device while it works and reload onto a new device when this one fails. You would be amazed at how many times that function has proved worthwhile. Easy firmware updates. Remote access works pretty good. Better in the Safari browser for some reason...?

Cons: These aren't very trustworthy routers. For no apparent reason they will completely dump their configuration, basically reset themselves back to factory new. I support 8 locations, all of them using this router in their setup and only one of them has ever lasted more than a year and a half before getting the blinking light of death.

Overall Review: I could probably recommend people using these to try something else due to their poor reliability but, honestly it pays better when these device fail. And boy do these fail. I assume it's one of the reason that Netgear keeps selling them. I've actually got one location that they paid close to $500 for a multi-hour battery backup device and it's still not proven to help one of these routers last longer. I think if you get the blinking light of death you can send the thing back to Netgear and they can either repair it or sell it as a refurb. There seems to be a lot of these for sell as refurbs so, that must mean something.

Pros: Seems to print the 1st page very quickly and all pages after that. Tray for odd types of papers included and it duplexes well. E-Printing works great.

Cons: HP Drivers are too big, go to the HP site and download the basic drivers and skip most of the bloat they ship with these things.

Overall Review: We haven't had any issues printing pdf files either. They seem to print perfectly. I have in the past had issues with Acrobat crashing Windows print spooler though, only on pdf files. It was computer related though, not even a printer issue.

Pros: Super nice for the cost. Upgrade-able ram and HD, very good low price ultra book with a few tweaks.

Cons: No Bluetooth and no USB 3.0, I also prefer a physical volume button but you never see those anymore.

Overall Review: I've owned one of the Atom powered netbooks and found them mostly useless, I get more use out of my Android tablet than that but I still prefer a laptop so for the price I gave this Dell a shot and so far It's a great deal. I upped the ram to 4gb and just now swapped out the HDD with SDD and increased the battery life by an estimated hour. From 5hrs to 6hrs which ain't bad. It now wakes up from sleep in an instant and boots up in a 3rd of the time it did with the HDD. I didn't want to spend a fortune on an Ultra Book so I got this system and with a few tweaks it's exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the cost. Unlike a netbook this system actually has the power to run everyday programs with power to spare. It was a breeze to open up and swap out the drive too, something near impossible on my old netbook. I highly recommend this system if a small, energy efficient powerful system is what you're looking for.

Pros: Just got the drive in today and had it installed, mirrored and running in less than an hour. Great included kit for data transfer worked as advertised. Only real issue was the computer I intended to use this drive in didn't have an optical drive so I had to use a second PC to copy all of the files from the image software to a usb drive and run it from there. I also learned you need to run the image program as admin or else I got write errors making a boot drive. Once I got past that hurdle is was as easy as any hdd to mirror and set up.

Cons: Not free, Windows 7 takes up a lot of it

Overall Review: My first experience with an SSD so we'll see how well it holds up in time. I swapped out the HDD from the Dell iM101z I got here a couple weeks ago and the swap couldn't have been simpler. I ended up with a sweet little ultrabook for not much cash. Wake up and boot times are exactly what I had hoped for and the included data swap cable is very nice addition to the whole deal. I can use the HDD I pulled out with the data cable as an external HD. Overall I highly recommend it. It was painless.

Pros: This really is a quality laptop and very speedy with the included Win 7 version. So far I haven't had any problems Live booting the previous and the newest (10.04) version of Ubuntu. Pretty much everything works out of the box on Lucid, video, wireless, sound even the camera. Nice finish on the outside of the unit, smudge free.

Cons: As said numerous times, the software on this thing is just simply *terrible*. I wonder what Lenovo was thinking with all the crapware on this thing? As an example, yesterday 5-5-2010 I get an ad pop up to buy Mother's Day stuff...On my desktop! From Lenovo! That's just wrong on every level. Nothing like a fully install Office suite that you don't really own or an AV program that's time limited. I know this is the norm now days, still seems so wrong to me though. The deal killer is all the Lenovo stuff, I dunno what to keep and what can go. You almost need a manual to help you through culling the garbage off of here. Anyway, that's just software and can be removed. I counted off one star due to the bloatware even though I'll be trashing it anyway. There's no reason to include all that junk pre-installed. Toss in a dvd if you want but don't preload it.

Overall Review: Buy this system for the hardware and just do what needs to be done with the bloatware. Some suggested buying a retail copy of Win 7 and just wiping this one out which is really sad but, it might be your best option if it bothers you. Too bad we can't get a credit for the pre-loaded version. I read the reviews on here and knew anyway that I would be loading Linux on it so in the end it's a win win for me. I won't lose anything. The 550P really is a nice system and should do well for the desktop replacement system I bought it for. I couldn't care less about battery life or the default monitor resolution since I'm running an external monitor. Not worried about the touchpad either even though all this really works perfectly. I just prefer external KB/V/M. My reasons for buying are probably different than a lot of people's so take this review for what you will. I base my buying on what will run Linux with the least amount of effort and this unit wins.
