Great Laptop

Lenovo Laptop IdeaPad Intel Core i5-2450M 6GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Z570 (1024DMU)
Lenovo Laptop IdeaPad Intel Core i5-2450M 6GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Z570 (1024DMU)

Pros: Decent screen, Pretty Peppy processor, ample Hard Drive space for the price.

Cons: A dead pixel on the screen (really annoying) and I really dislike the fact that there is a hardware switch to turn on the dedicated graphics. I was going nuts trying to figure out why a game was studdering. Also the paint job looks more purple then gunmetal.

Overall Review: Overall I needed a laptop with good graphics. This one fit's the bill. Price is decent.

Nice Idea

Belkin F7C030fc WeMo Light Switch

Pros: Wireless, programmable, great if you travel a lot.

Cons: If it loses power you have to reset it. Also I don't think it likes Daylight savings.

Overall Review: I bought 3 of these and they work well. My home is older construction and the switches need a hole in the wall thats very deep. Overall I likes these. I just wish they were a little easier to set-up.

High Quality, Ultra Sharp Lens

Pros: High quality piece of glass! Takes outstanding photos on my EM-5. Comes with a lens hood. This is truly a Pro lens.

Cons: On the expensive side if your a novice.

Overall Review: Micro 4/3's is not a very good at fast action photography, like sports or running children, this lens makes it more tolerable.

Superior Performance

Pros: Very Fast Wi-Fi Great Support Works well on Mac OS X Free Adobe Acrobat Standard Frequent Software Updates

Cons: Kinda Expensive Most of the extra software is PC only (which sucks) I wish it didn't have an external power brick.

Poor Referb

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I don't know how they check for defects. But this just didn't have any picture. Kind of annoyed, I think it was just repackaged and shipped out another door.

Great Lens

Pros: High quality build, fantastic bokeh, outstanding images, smaller then you think.

Cons: No lens hood.

Overall Review: I love this lens. When I bought this lens the 12-40mm 2.8 Pro was not announced yet. I think that one would have been more versatile but I'm still very happy with this lens. Wait on it to go down to 799 on Newegg. Thats the best price you'll be able to pick it up for anywhere.
