Best for Price!
Pros: Nice 17" display..very crisp imaging, can use 1333 memory and no indication of previous use and abuse...Looks like a brand new unit! Phenom II Quad Core in a laptop...Nice!
Cons: Like most all laptops...Bloatware! It's going to take awhile to clean it all off. No tech sheets or manual, just a box, the laptop, the battery, the charger/power supply and a power cord. There was a sheet with startup instructions from the independant refurbishing company about start up and that was it. Adequate graphics, but don't expect to use this for seriously graphic intense gaming...No Blue Ray..Is the only other con. But hey.....After all, it is being sold for less than $400.00!
Overall Review: I bought this from another online vendor. Same specs and I got mine for just a little less than what it is sold here for. I am very pleased with the purchase and for the price, you will be too.
Duds...
Pros: Fast...when they work.
Cons: Bought two of these. When I built the system, one was immediately D.O.A. I used the second and it worked...Long enough for me to load Vista, then 30 minutes later, it died too! R.M.A.'ed both...Hope to have better luck.
Overall Review: Went to a local retail store and bought an identical make and model to get me through the hard times. My new computer is up and running now. I've never really had any issues with Seagate drives and I suspect this to be a mis-handled batch. I hope Newegg pulls this batch before they send my replacements.
Not Bad!
Pros: It does what all the other smart phones out there do...Except you get a no-contract phone at a contract price. Very fast and responsive. WiFi works great and 4G is awesome! Good image quality on the screen. Flash for the camera!
Cons: Small keyboard for big fingers! Virgin Mobile technical support is laughable at best. See other thoughts below.
Overall Review: Virgin Mobile has great prices on their service plans. When they advertise "Hassle Free", look again. I was on the phone for two and a half hours, talked to five different techs and all I wanted was my old number transferred to their service on my new phone. I took the phone to a local VM Store and the gentleman did everything he could to guarantee that the order was being processed. They told him it would take 24 to 72 hours to process and that it was being processed. When that did not happen, I called back and they had NO RECORD of my order? I gave up, got online and created a new account with a new number. Now I get to file changes to accounts, tell all my friends and co-workers AND reprogram my wireless home security system for the new number. But, this is about the phone. If it were about the service, I wouldn't even bother to rate it, because there is no negative stars.
Bad Cameras...
Pros: This tablet cannot be beat for the price. Great response time, great display and about average sound. Also accepts a 32GB Micro-SD card.
Cons: I bought four of these and have tried three. The front camera works as it should, but the back camera is useless, grainy and dark even when held up to a light. This was the case for all three tablets. Cannot use the camera at all. Also, the battery life is less than average, but usable.
Overall Review: If you don't plan on taking pictures with this tablet, go for it! It is actually a very good unit for browsing the web and setup is a breeze!
Awesome Deal!!
Pros: Both the picture and sound were considerably better than expected for the price. The TV was well packaged and even though it has been stated that batteries do not come with the unit, mine did. No dead pixels here either! Just finished watching a movie in hi definition on it and I can definitely say that this is the best bang for the buck I've had as far as electronics are concerned.
Cons: The remote has really small buttons and they are spaced close together, making it difficult to press the right button sometimes. Also, removing from the box can be a little difficult. Get help to avoid the possibility of damaging the unit.
Overall Review: This is a very basic T.V. To some, this may be a con, but dollar for dollar, I believe this one has all the others beat.
Good So Far...But...
Pros: Small footprint. Easy to understand. Works as it should. Delivery was super fast!!
Cons: Did not come in its original retail packaging. The posted video makes you assume that it does and nowhere does the seller mention that it does not. The item arrived in a USPS shipping container with its original internal packaging separator, bag and bubble wrap. Would have been embarrasing to give as a gift if that was what it was intended to be purchased for. Lose and egg because of this
Overall Review: Still satisfied with the sale, but I looked everything over very closely as this could have been a refurbished unit or a previous customer return. No indications of either were found.
