Pros: It works very well for my intended uses: - digital notepad for studying trigonometry and calculus - sharing ideas with students, friends, family - casual art It also has support for many different gestures on the Mac, although I leave the tablet in pen-only mode in favor of my Apple Magic Trackpad. The included software meets all of my basic needs. The aesthetics pair well with my Macbook Pro and it's external wireless aluminum keyboard and trackpad.

Cons: If the unit would be perfect in my eyes if it were bluetooth. It has a left-handed and right-handed mode, but you cannot rotate 90 or 270 degrees to mimic an 8x11 sheet of paper. When taking notes, certain character confuse the tablet. I do a lot of math homework with it and the pi symbol often causes it trouble. To get it to reliably draw the pi symbol you have to pull the pen tip a certain distance away from the tablet between strokes.... very annoying, but you can learn to work around this. Using this unit as a notepad like i do causes more hand fatigue than a normal pen and paper does. The pen has two buttons on it, and I sometime loose track of where they are or accidentally push them (they can be disable).

Overall Review: Good value. I think the HTC Flyer tablet may be a more suitable device for my purposes, since you can draw right on the screen and take it with you to classrooms or meetings. If you plan to use the tablet the way I do, then maybe consider getting an HTC Flyer instead (it's expensive though).

Pros: Excellent user interface. Point and click configuration of many different services. Nice aesthetics.

Cons: Power users and system admins may prefer a DIY mini-ITX system, since you can build a much faster and more flexible NAS for half the price. I am not comfortable being dependent on Synology for bug fixes and security updates, and thus would not make this unit internet accessible. I setup an iSCSI target and mounted it from a Windows 7 Media Center PC that is capable of recording four channels of HD video simultaneously. The DS410 struggled to keep up. The initial setup of a RAID5 volume took a very, very long time. The embedded linux operating system installed on the DS410 has been paired down to the minimum. For $500, I expect a full featured OS under the hood with a usable SSH console.

Overall Review: If you are a non-technical user (or don't have the time or motivation for a DIY system), AND network performance is not a main concern, then this might be the NAS for you.

Pros: Great hardware build quality. Cutting edge Android software. The 3 pogo pins allow for easy car and desk docking options. The Nexus line of handsets are among the first to receive future software updates. This handset, and other multi-core Android handsets, can run GNU/Linux and Android simultaneously when docked to a external display, keyboard, and mouse. CyanogenMod 9 will be well supported on this device.

Cons: Verizon is currently the only carrier offering subsidized handsets. The international GSM version is very expensive. Handset accessories utilizing the 3 pogo pins are not yet widely available.

Overall Review: I didn't fully appreciate how many tasks are CPU and memory bound. Very nice upgrade coming from a T-Mobile G2.

Pros: When these fans run at max speed they keep my dual 2.66 GHz dual Xeon X5550 CPUs running at 98 degrees F. Wow.

Cons: My housemates complained about the noise these coolers generated at idle. They could hear the computer from downstairs. My cat was even upset. Mutiny!

Overall Review: I bought these because they inexpensive and were recommended by intel, but have since replaced them with a watercooling system.

Pros: Keeps up with my high-end workstation with power to spare: 2x Xeon X5550 1x GTX 480 1x Creative Fatality adio 1x Ceton Infinitv tuner 3x Intel G2 SSD 4x 1TB WD Caviar Black HDD

Cons: I would prefer that all of the power connectors were removable.

Pros: Nice aesthetics. Solid construction. Good: performance, battery, keyboard and screen. Product arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels. Excellent compatibility with Linux and OpenBSD.

Cons: No cons above and beyond what you'd expect from a netbook.

Overall Review: I replaced the stock hard drive with a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and installed a Habey HB-VD904 Broadcom Crystal HD PCI express Mini Card.
