Worth Every Egg
Pros: -Better than Cans of Air -You find MANY different uses for this b/c of how powerful it is. -I.E. Blowing out the lint from dryer ducts, Junk outta the BBQ... Whatever needs blowin. -Various attachments included
Cons: -Yeah it's kinda loud, just don't use it when your kid is asleep.
Overall Review: -If you are blowing off your keyboard, make sue your desk is cleaned off or else you blow all your pens, papers, cats, phones, etc. off your desk.
Terrible
Cons: MUST have internet connection
Overall Review: Requires Internet connection to just install it. I got to the internet activation portion and it wasnt connecting for some reason despite it already downloading the updates which meant I couldnt progress through the process. Terrible microsoft cash grab. Junk OS compared to 10
Wifi/BT driver problems
Pros: Works after getting windows and board to cooperate
Cons: Out of the box with windows the wifi and bt would not install even when specified the file location. Reset the cmos and let it sit with now power to power supply for a night and it was only able to work when specifying the file location for the drivers. No other install method worked. Its a knows issue according to reddit and the manufacturer should really have addressed it by now
Overall Review: After getting it to work, its just fine so far.
Worked just fine
Overall Review: No issues with anything
Better than expected
Overall Review: Thought it would be a gamble and not sure what I’d be receiving, but it isn’t a cheep Chinese rip off. Obviously the pictures online make it look more vibrant, but its not horribly different. The mat is about 1/3 thickness of the hyperX one. Over all, manage expectations and you will be happy.
Better than expected.
Pros: Cams are very small and made of metal, I expected plastic and was pleasantly surprised Super simple to set up. The App is great and has more functionality than expected. Night vision works great
Cons: As the sun moves and casts shadows, there are limits on the system's ability to self-adjust to the change in brightness. So you can have half the screen look normal, but the other half very very dark. To counter the potential issues with dynamic lighting, I made sure to have a little redundancy so that other cameras can cover from opposite angles . I was not planning on using all 8 cameras, but after adjusting for this, I ended up using them all. "Only" 2TB support. I would think it would be simple to have a firmware update to support 6tb. I have heard of people putting in more than 2tb, but I will not buy a new drive until I talk to their tech support to ensure I'm not wasting $
Overall Review: Cabling included is not as crummy as I expected. Its thin, but then again, it does not have all the wires in it that networking cable has. The cable wrap is what makes them feel so cheep and, granted, they are cheep, but after running the lines through stucco and throughout the attic space, I've yet to experience a problem. If you take the time to run the lines properly and not just yank them through a rough hole when rushing the project, everything should be fine.

Item was somehow lost or whatever in shipping. Contacted Newegg support, Seller responded in a few hours. No hassle for them to ship out another one once it was back in stock.
