Most Favorable Review

TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter(TL-PA4010 KIT)- Plug&Play, Power Saving, Nano Powerline Adapter, Expand Home Network with Stable Connections

Pros: They work, only took about 5 minutes to figure out. Saved me from crawling around the attic and figuring out how to run network wire from one side of the house to the other. According to the almost worthless software that comes with them, it has a consistent 175m connection between the pair - good enough to stream movies.

Cons: Software that comes with them is junk, removed 1-egg for that. Basically the software is only good enough to verify a connection is made and what speed the devices are communicating at. The other little bits like renaming the devices through the software causes constant drops and makes the devices lose their pair which is required for them to work. Also, when running the software on my desktop it constantly causes any open/active program (other than itself) to not be the active window - which is a pain. So I just run it when I am curious about the speed/connection, then close out of it making sure it is not running minimized in the system tray.

Overall Review: I did not purchase through Newegg. I wanted to setup the bedroom so I could stream movies in there and did not want to purchase another wireless router to hopefully increase the speed/range for just that room. I purchased these along with D-link 8 port router and a roku 3 for the bedroom. the entire system has been up and running flawlessly for about 5 days now.

Most Critical Review

Windows 7 Fails to boot

G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-12800CL11D-8GBSA
G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-12800CL11D-8GBSA

Pros: it was a good price for 8gig (4x2) of ram

Cons: windows will not boot. it will get as far as the windows log screen, then blue screen. on board system diagnostics (Dell) crashes out as soon as it attempts to test ram. Tried each stick independently, still failed at windows logo, put in old ram system booted right up.

Overall Review: Dell Latitude e6510. I used the newegg memory/system finder (which I verified again before writing this review) and it lists this product as compatible with my laptop, but it does not appear to be. I'm not 100% sure if it is the fault of Newegg (memory finder) for listing wrong, or if it is just bad ram. Either way, unhappy.

Nice Tower

Cooler Master Q300L V2 Micro-ATX Tower, Magnetic Patterned Dust Filter, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20GB), Tempered Glass Panel, CPU Coolers Max 159mm, GPU Max 360mm, Fully Ventilated Airflow (Q300LV2-KGNN-S00)

Pros: I really like the 3 magnetic dust filters that come with it. USB-C connection on top by power button. Holds an Nivida 5070ti card just fine (anything much larger and you really need to pay attention to card/case dimensions)

Cons: only 1 USB-C connection on case. I don't over care for the bracket on the backside that helps hold expansion cards in place the power supply bracket thing I find annoying.

Overall Review: Overall it is a very nice case. I never had a case this small before so i wasn't so sure about it until I got it out of the box and started putting everything together. I do really like the 3 pre-made magnetic dust filters that came with it. I'm used to having to go out and by double side tape, sticky velcro, and screen door mesh to make my own case filters. about the most annoying thing to me is the weird power supply bracket. I'm guessing that is for people running radiators or other fancy cooling; I am not. and unless I am mistaken you basically need to use that bracket to hook up the power supply which otherwise will not mate up against the back side of the case to allow screws to hold it in place.......just seems odd to me. but i am getting older and not as hip as all the new kids now-a-days, perhaps I am just misunderstanding something.

1st ASRock Board

ASRock B850M-X WiFi AM5 AMD B850 Micro ATX Motherboard

Overall Review: for about the last 20 years I have always purchased and used Asus motherboard products. my last Asus board (two of them) have survived and ran for that 13 years. they were still running when I shut those pcs down and built my new one using this ASRock board. I do wish it would have had a PCIE 5 slot, i mean this board was released in 2025 after all. Other than that I do like the WiFi that came with it even though i do use it. it is nice to have options just in case onboard NIC goes out. otherwise, for the 119 i purchased it for, not bad.

They Run, No Memory Errors Yet.

Overall Review: subject just about says it all. they work in my ASROCK B850M-X WiFi AM5 AMD B850 mother board running an AM5 Ryzen 7 9800x3d chip. no memory crashes / bluescreens to date. only time/longevity will prove otherwise.

Its NOT Vista!

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (USB)
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (USB)

Overall Review: For what its worth, can any Microsoft O/S other than XP SP3 be considered 5 stars(eggs)? Windows 7 was close. Windows 10...would have been fine if Microsoft could freaking figure out how to stop breaking it on every-other update. Otherwise I mean, come on...its Windows 11 and for the two months I have been running it, it is far superior to Windows Vista. that OS was soo bad (Vista) that its now what I rate all other Microsoft O/S against.
