Value for money that cannot be denied

SAMSUNG XE303C12-A01US Chromebook (B Grade) Samsung Exynos 1.70 GHz 2 GB Memory 16 GB SSD 11.6" Google Chrome OS

Pros: Unbeatable for travel. Looks great -- big performance in a thin package, too. I can do 90% of what I need to do... email, surf the web, work on MS Word and Excel documents. With things like Google Docs, Dropbox, and tons of apps, as long as you have a wi-fi connection (and sometimes I even use my phone as a 3G or LTE hotspot when required), this little Chromebook absolutely gets it done. Great keyboard, responsive touchpad, good screen (though not true HD, it's pretty close), and fast performance. In sleep mode, just open the screen and you're working a few seconds later, literally. Good stamina -- battery lasts 6+ hours with no problem. Probably longer, but I've never pushed it.

Cons: 32GB would have been much nicer than 16GB, but for the price, zero complaints. Runs a little warm if you leave it on your lap for a while... only slightly, though. Adapter is a little annoying (it's not small and compact... long cables, too).

Overall Review: Bought two refurb/scratch & dent units for under $100 each, and really, the only thing that betrayed the "scratch & dent" designation was the bottom of the chassis. Keyboard, touchpad, and screen were both flawless on both units. Simply no complaint at all. Manage your expectations and you can't help but be thrilled with this sweet little Chromebook.

Attractive and functional

XtremeMac Luna Voyager Alarm Clock with iPhone/iPod Dock IPU-LUV-11

Pros: Compact, good build quality, very easy to use, auto-set clock (from iPod), dimmable display, worldwide voltage and worldwide plug adapters included, decent sound quality for alarm clock, and even the packaging is outstanding.

Cons: Sound quality on louder or rock-type music is mediocre. Still good on vocals, acoustic music, etc.

Overall Review: I was so impressed with this little unit that after a couple of days' use, I ordered another one as a gift for one of my friends. This is an easy gadget to recommend, and if you can get it for under $30-35, it's a steal.
