Budget Phone.

Nokia Lumia 521 T-Mobile No Contract 1.0GHz Windows Smart Phone
Nokia Lumia 521 T-Mobile No Contract 1.0GHz Windows Smart Phone

Pros: - Low Cost, this is a budget phone for anyone that wants a smartphone and not pay over $200+ - Sturdy. The phone is made out of full plastic with the exception of the touch screen glass. It's really sturdy and dropping it so far hasn't broke mine. - Good battery life. Can last a day or so watching videos, having live updates, etc. - External SD Card available for more storage space - Camera quality is pretty nice and takes fast pictures. - Speakers and mic are really clear

Cons: - Windows Phone. Limited apps but I have everything I personally needed. I have Facebook, Whatapp, SnapChat (6snap), Skydrive (Onedrive), Instagram, Twitter, Pandora, Facebook Messnger, Bank of America, Imgur, Reddit, Netflix, and a whole lot of other useful apps. This phone really isn't missing anything.

Overall Review: For a budget phone, at a low price in which you can find on sale a lot for under $50, this is the perfect phone. Fast, responsive, and easy to use. I would recommend this phone to anyone, even the operating system is getting better. It's really good and windows shouldn't be casted away. It's getting there with the community.

Meh.

ARCTIC P311 On-Ear Bluetooth Headset, Ideal for Sports, 20 Hours Playback
ARCTIC P311 On-Ear Bluetooth Headset, Ideal for Sports, 20 Hours Playback

Pros: Behind the neck Light weight Comfortable Comes with a Pouch Easy to connect Easy Instruction

Cons: Didn't work well. Sound cuts off. The mic transmits what it picks up through the speakers sometimes. Disconnects.

Overall Review: This might be my laptops blutooth problem, I'm not sure. Other people like this, I don't. I've connected other devices via blutooth fine, this was not so fine.

Business Computers

Lenovo Desktop PC H515 (57321121) AMD A4-5000 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8330 Windows 8 64-bit

Pros: Low budget computer that gets the job done whether it's for business or home use. Lightweight, trusted Lenovo brand. USB 3.0 low noise low heat.

Cons: Power Supply is built in which could be a problem to some

Overall Review: I bought and downgraded 10 of these computers for Jackson Hewitt Tax business and they love the speed compared to their old XP systems. I downgraded it to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and it runs flawless. Fast computers for the price, good for business. Cheap. In no way is this an i7 so don't compare speeds to something that is less than the price of the actual processor.

Why spend more?

UNITEK 2.5" 3.5" SSD HDD SATA IDE Dual Bay USB 3.0 Docking Clone Station
UNITEK 2.5" 3.5" SSD HDD SATA IDE Dual Bay USB 3.0 Docking Clone Station

Pros: -Runs my 3 TB Hard Drive -Easy to Use -Doesn't need software to clone -Cloning -Use both drives at the same time -USB 3.0 -Sturdy -Light Weight -Labeled so you know which slot is which -Rubber grommet feet on the bottom for less vibration noise -AC/DC Power -You can run 2.5" drives on this by just adding a packing peanut -Support all drives -Easy instruction -Nice LED lights to tell you how it's doing -Good size USB cable -7200 RPM drives -Fast Speeds

Cons: I have this on the desk and it still vibrates and gets a bit loud. This isn't a problem though, it's just a minor issue that will happen with all of these types of external enclosures since the hard drives spins fast.

Overall Review: I haven't had this for so long, but just from this week I know it's already a good product.

Meh

Asus Orion Gaming Headset
Asus Orion Gaming Headset

Pros: Good looking headet. Base is black with a red trim, and the logo is a scrubbed aluminum shield. The mic hides inside so you can wear them out if they're not too big for you. Somewhat comfortable.

Cons: I'm on my second pair. The first one lasted a little over 6 months before the left speaker went out. Their support is pretty bad SEE OTHER THOUGHTS PLS. The cable gets tangled like crazy. no matter what you do you will always have to disconnect it, stand on a high chair, and let it spin to get untangled. The second headset, always send in a rather odd low pitched beeping sound as if it's not getting enough power of some sort. It's pretty bad, I'm going to sell these online for cheap and buy something new unless ASUS wants to give me full refund for these.

Overall Review: Their support is bad, they didn't want to help me. I had to go to my local electronics store, get buy the headset (luckily they had it) replace them with mine, and return it as if I had bought it broken. The new ones aren't even good.. they have a weird sound.

Skeptical Refurbished

WD Scorpio Blue WD1600BPVT 160GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive
WD Scorpio Blue WD1600BPVT 160GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive

Pros: It's a Western Digital Hard Drive. There is not much to it, the name itself has it's own reputation of good. Cheaper than a new version. Same performance.

Cons: No cons, works like if it was new.

Overall Review: I thought it would be a bad idea going with a refurbished product, especially something as drastic as a hard drive. It turns out it was the perfect idea, cheap and just as sturdy if not equally sturdy as a new version. No problems what so ever.
