Most Favorable Review

Quick and solid mobile platform

TOSHIBA Laptop Qosmio Intel Core i7-2670QM 8GB Memory 750GB (5400 RPM) Serial ATA hard disk drive 500GB (7200 RPM) Hybrid 4GB Serial ATA hard disk drive HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit X775-3DV80
TOSHIBA Laptop Qosmio Intel Core i7-2670QM 8GB Memory 750GB (5400 RPM) Serial ATA hard disk drive 500GB (7200 RPM) Hybrid 4GB Serial ATA hard disk drive HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit X775-3DV80

Pros: extremely quick processing power, solid graphics performance for gaming, crystal clear screen, 3d is there but gimmicky for my use. I thought the multi-touch and gesture capable track pad would be gimmicky but have really gotten to like it, scanning through many pages of items doing christmas shopping is super easy once you enable the Chiral motion scrolling. the two finger scrolling is nice too when you don't want to find the edge to scroll. Webcam isn't that great, especially in low light.

Cons: Don't expect hours of gaming without being plugged in, it's a 17 inch power house, get over it. Don't expect it to be feather light either, see my previous point. be careful with the 3d depth settings, can make you go cross eyed if you have the depth setting set too high.

Overall Review: I'm actually using the previous model version x775-3dv78, same or better specs on both models. Would definitely recommend based on my experience thus far.

Most Critical Review

Poor quality (Service and Product)

TRENDnet TEW-631BRP 300Mbps Wireless N Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft
TRENDnet TEW-631BRP 300Mbps Wireless N Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft

Pros: Upto 300mbps wireless. Nice features in firmware

Cons: Cheap. Trendnet service. Radio started to die after 4 days

Overall Review: I purchased this utilize for visitors to the business I work for. I configured the router to work through our DMZ and was up and running when I got it on Thursday. Worked on Friday. Came in on Monday morning and wasn't able to connect with my companies laptop, which I suspected was caused by lack of WPA2 support on the laptop. Tuesday tried to connect with the notebook I used to set it up and test the connectivity (and to change the security setting) and was not able to connect. Connected wired with laptop and could see the radio turning on and off in the log. Contact Trendnet support, and after spelling my email address 8 times for the lovely lady from Eastern Hemisphere outsource center, I spoke with a script monkey who was zero help and had even less knowledge than your typical script monkey. RMA'd with Newegg and ordered a WRT54G to replace it.

Workhorse Wireless

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g
Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: Good stable connection. Good range. Good options.

Cons: It will die eventually

Overall Review: I have own two of these personally and just recently picked one up for my company. The first one died after 1 year, my current personal is just now starting to fade after about 3 years, and I have just ordered another wrt54g to replace it. This thing is a workhorse and the best G router you are going to find. Especially at the sub 40 pricepoint Newegg has right now.
