Most Favorable Review

Pretty solid sound, good bluetooth voice, affordable.

August EP650B Bluetooth Wireless Stereo NFC Headphones – Over Ear Cordless Headset with 3.5mm Wired Audio In, Rechargeable Battery, NFC Connection and built-in Microphone - All Smartpone Compatible

Pros: These deliver good headphone sound, superior to earbuds. They are wireless or wired and work with either the usb or 3.5 audio jack in my lappy. Charges while listening if you wire it up. Makes for decent gaming headset. The battery life is very long and it charges easily and fast. If you like headphones that fold up stupidly, then add that as another pro.

Cons: Theres no software. The device is what it is. IF you have a flaky computer, maybe this is not the droid youre looking for. It also folds up somewhat stupidly

Overall Review: I got mine for 50 bucks from the egg. It still is nestled in the zone of good sounding, good quality, and almost cheaply priced. No real problems aside from absence of software. 4 eggs given for overall value and performance. 5 eggs would land if there was software that made everything run without me having to use my brain.

Macros do not work

Microsoft  SIDEWINDER X4  Keyboard - Retail
Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard - Retail

Pros: If you play DAOC and want to become angry, then this is the keyboard for you.

Cons: Does not work for Dark Age of Camelot.

Overall Review: Macro keys are not recognized in Dark Age of Camelot. MY old Logitech keyboard worked fine in the game. I figured I would replace it with trustable Microsoft keyboard because i didnt want to test fate...MS hardware should run right with virtually everything. Alas...macros dont do anything in Dark Age of Camelot, the LONE gaming application i bought a GAMING keyboard for, Box is in the garbage. I am stuck with this piece of junk, and very unhappy.

Didnt last 1 year

Razer Naga MMO Gaming Mouse
Razer Naga MMO Gaming Mouse

Pros: Lots of button

Cons: Terrible product lifecycle. Low durability. Tactile experience somewhat scrotile.

Overall Review: Gamers are like race car drivers, and their computers while often NOT race car quality, get hammered and beat on. The ONE thing a gamer rig is the wherewithal to handle some beatings, and this mouse under my tenure had a relatively easy go at things. Its total death was about as surprising to me as a teenager dropping dead in gym class or something. This is a good idea, but poor execution. Razer should either buid the mouse right, or license it to Logitech or some other capable manufacturer.

Titan

Everki Black 18.4" Titan Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Backpack Model EKP120
Everki Black 18.4" Titan Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Backpack Model EKP120

Pros: Humongous. Holds laptop + brick+ cooling pad + wired mouse+ two full 3-inch binders + lunch and a couple drinks with room to go. Tough construction. Good fit, especially considering im a big guy.

Cons: 166 bucks

Overall Review: After spending 2 grand in tech for school and work, this is what i hoof my precious things around in. I looked at the other bags, i looked at my colleagues bags. This one is the biggest and toughest, and nicest. Bag version of me:)

So far so good

Pros: Fast. big storage, good video performance. No problems with VLC/MPC. Runs silent and cool. Zero noise and heat issues. 4 hours of real time battery sufficient for long law school lectures.

Cons: Windows 8, Windows Media Center requires 100 dollar+ upgrade. Subtracted an egg because it is terrible. This with windows 7 would earn 5 eggs.
