A very good Blu-ray burner

Sony Optiarc Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 8MB Cache SATA 12X Half Height Tray Blu-ray Writer BD-5300S

Pros: Supported by Ubuntu 11.10 k3b directly. Very easy to burn. The time used to burn a whole disk is about 50 minutes (through a usb2 adapter), not so fast but very stable.

Cons: The $10 off was right after I placed the order. Hey, newegg, I want the $10 price match!

Excellent USB drive

Pros: - Huge capacity - Fast speed - Quick delivery - Great for expanding an ultrabook

Cons: None.

Excellent SSD for laptop

Cons: Not any, so far.

A must-have for travelers

Pros: - Strong signal, high speed - Good functionality: I like all the AP, Router and Bridge modes. It is really handy for securely sharing hotel internet to family devices. Some hotels don't have wireless, and my ultrabook has no RJ45 connector. With this little thing I can connect it to hotel network cable, and all my cellphones/tablets/ultrabooks can serf on internet! - The battery is really a big plus to the wireless function, you can connect devices no matter where you are. I did that when travel with my family, really really useful. - Battery is very powerful, can fully charge my iPhone twice. - At any time you can check how much power the battery left by a single click. - The disk sharing function is awesome. It's much easier to share big files with my friends in library or anywhere else. I'd prefer it provide a microsd card slot so I don't need to plug out the flash drive each time. - The seller is very friendly. I had problem make the Bridge mode work and I emailed him and he quickly worked out a new firmware. Update the firmware is super easy and the bridge mode works perfectly. If you buy this product I suggest you ask the seller for the new firmware.

Cons: None at present.

Overall Review: I'd prefer a physical switch to select AP/RT/Bridge functions like some other travel routers. But this product is handy enough, so I'd not complain. It will be perfect if it has a microsd card slot. At present I have to plug-in and plug-out the flash drive repeatedly.

Excellent product, Excellent service

ASUS ProArt PA248Q Black 24" (Actual size 24.1") 6ms (GTG) 16:10, 1920 x 1200, IPS, 100% sRGB, Color Accuracy Delta E< 5, Flicker Free, HDMI, D-Sub, DisplayPort, DVI-D LCD Monitor
ASUS ProArt PA248Q Black 24" (Actual size 24.1") 6ms (GTG) 16:10, 1920 x 1200, IPS, 100% sRGB, Color Accuracy Delta E< 5, Flicker Free, HDMI, D-Sub, DisplayPort, DVI-D LCD Monitor

Pros: Great IPS display. Four different types of connectors: VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort. Handy height adjustment (very import if you have two different type of display and you want them at the same height). Handy channel switching button.

Cons: No HDMI cable provided. Not a real con since HDMI cables are really easy to get.

Overall Review: I would expect more HDMI ports. I previously left a review with 3 eggs because I thought I need to pay for the return (the first one I received has a green dead line on the right end of the display), but turned out newegg provided a free return. And it quickly sent me the second one which is perfect, not even one dead pixel. Both the product and newegg's service rock!
