Get A Clue
Pros: I have installed 5 of these in customers computers. They are all working perfectly. This includes XP and W2K machines. To the guy who said these don't work in XP, I say, read my title line. For the money, and the proper application, a great card, installs in a snap.
Cons: If you are a serious gamer, then why would you look at 20 dollar cards? This card is not for higher end games.
Overall Review: People, please consider these reviews with a grain of salt. All it takes is one novice's opinion to drag down the ratings.
Misleading Pictures
Pros: Pictures are Pretty
Cons: Cheap controls, not intuitive at all. Frustrating to use. Needs microphone & ear piece plugged in to work. When I tried to return it they tried to convince me it was a good product.They kept asking me what was wrong. I repeatedly told them. Finally, I just gave up, which is probably what they wanted. Another "sale" made
Overall Review: As a professional I am ashamed to admit I bought this without seeing any reviews. I based my purchase on the pictures and description. Don't be fooled. I bought an Olympus 702pc that is vastly superior to this. This was not worth shipping back. I threw it in the trash. Lesson learned.
Good Reliable Mouse
Pros: Bought this to remove some clutter on my desktop. This mouse has been perfect since I bought it in Dec of 2014. I use it everyday. Still using the original battery. Buttons wok smoothly with a slight click.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I am buying another one for my room mate
Great Drive So Far
Pros: Burns a BD-R 25 GB disk in 10 min. Uses free BurnAware software. Reasonably priced. I build computers professionally and with the new O.S.'s the restore images and backup sizes have gotten way out of hard. Now, instead of using up all of my hard drive space for client data, I can burn it all to Blue Ray disks. I am currently using Verbatim 25 GB BD-R disks. I am going to try the 50 GB disks next. I will post the results.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Waited a long time to buy a blue ray burner. I waited until the price came down. I am not disappointed at all. Thinking of buying an external blue ray burner next.
Nice Little Card
Pros: Easy to install. Downloaded drivers from the site. Expand W7 folder. Click Setup.exe. Done.
Cons: No plug n play install.
Overall Review: If you have onboard sound, make sure to diable it in bios before you install the drivers for this card. Otherwise the system will not know what to do.
Nice Laptop
Pros: I bought this for a client. It's very fast and does everything a laptop should. Cleaned up some of the O.E. installed software, installed Office, AVG & Malware Bytes. I am an I.T. professional and I always look for great deals for my clients. This is one of them.
Cons: Price has gone up since I purchased it in November. Still a good deal.
Overall Review: Buy it. Get the extended warranty too. Laptops are proprietary which makes the parts expensive. Spend the money up front and have no worries about it breaking.
