Very Good!

Saeco 104373 Stainless steel Coffee Grinder & Brewer
Saeco 104373 Stainless steel Coffee Grinder & Brewer

Pros: This the first brewer/grinder I've owned and I am very happy with it. The grinder has worked perfectly without any modification. I like strong coffee and this does a good job of allowing you to to adjust to your taste.

Cons: The warmer only stays on for 2 hours and then shuts off. I like to have hot coffee available longer than that. I have to resort to warming my last cup or 2 in the microwave. My old brewer would stay on for 4 hours. The water reservoir opening is too small making it tricky to pour water in without spilling. The pot drips during pouring.

Overall Review: Overall you can't beat this grinder/brewer for the price.

budget laptop winner

Lenovo Laptop Intel Core i3-3110M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 8 G580 (59344049)

Pros: Replaced an old Dell with this. It's a budget laptop that does everything I need. I have no problem with win8. I don't understand all the whining about it. I have it boot up to the desktop and I'm good to go. I have no use for tablets so the start screen or Metro side is not used by me. Everything works well.

Cons: only thing is it's a fingerprint magnet.

Overall Review: supposed to be brown but looks Black in most light.

Disappointed and way overpriced

Cuisinart DGB-900BC Chrome Grind & Brew Thermal 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker
Cuisinart DGB-900BC Chrome Grind & Brew Thermal 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker

Pros: Not much is very good about this unit.

Cons: Shoot gets clogged, very loud grinder, messy pour from carafe. The top to the carafe is pain. The coffee basket has a rube goldberg contraption that you have to set right or your in trouble. I always have to wipe up the spills from this unit. The brew strength is limited to 3 settings where the Saeco had an adjustable grinder with 10 grind sizes. I paid less than half for the Saeco compared to this Cuisinart and was far superior.

Overall Review: After owning a Saeco grind and brew that I bought here I am highly disappointed in this overpriced beast. Cuisinart needs to go back to drawing board and refine this unit. It is amazingly similar to the Saeco which doesn't seem to be available anymore. I wonder if Cuisinart bought them out. Unfortunately Cuisanart's changes are awful. Save your money buy something else. I can't wait to replace this thing.

good drive-lousey shipping

OCZ Agility Series 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1AGT60G

Pros: Fresh installed win7 64bit, no problem on Lenovo Laptop. Must have been dumb luck. Replacing old drive with SSD is just a slide in. No special anything required.

Cons: No real instructions for newbee so good luck. Trying to read OCZ's forum is a nightmare, plenty of detailed hacks. I tried a few but didn't notice any difference.

Overall Review: Newegg's shipper is messed up. The package has more frequent flier miles than time in laptop yet. They shipped from NJ, sent it to Orlando(3 days) then sent it to NYC(1 day) then finally found it's way to me(4 days). Tracking service disappeared after it was shipped to NYC. I figured it was lost so applied for a refund. A few days later drive shows up at my door no tracking until after the fact. No word from newegg.
