Most Favorable Review

Great on MAC or Windows

WD 2TB Elements Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model WDBU6Y0020BBK-EESN Black
WD 2TB Elements Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model WDBU6Y0020BBK-EESN Black

Pros: Came set for NTFS, which is Windows, but can be read by MACS. Can easily also be reformatted to APPLE Format to use as time machine store etc.

Cons: nothing

Most Critical Review

Questionable product MAY NOT WORK on MACS

Acronis True Image for Mac - 1 Mac
Acronis True Image for Mac - 1 Mac

Pros: Acronis name and history as a great WINDOWS imaging product ( I own and use several versions and have always been able to rely on it. The MAC version should be great, but unfortunately it isn't.

Cons: Terrible MAC PRODUCT. BUY at your own risk. Acronis fails to list the very extensive set of systems on which it simply DOES NOT work. They list only a few cases on their BOX and online marketing information under which the product doesn't work. Unfortunately when you have problems, they disclose more systems it doesn't work on- but only after you buy and try it! Here is a direct cut and paste from Acronis: Not Supported Environments - Macs with Bootcamp. - Macs with Fusion Drive. - File Vault 2. Notice that it does not mention MACS using RAID at all. Well after wasting a week trying to figure out what was wrong, and sending them very extensive diagnostic files, they finally sent me a note saying that their product cannot work on Raid drive setups. (My Mac uses 2 HDs with Raid 1 for speed) What a shame, and what a problem that you cannot even rely on their own list of system requirements to know what is supposed to work and what is not. .

Overall Review: New Egg says it is not responsible for refunds for downloaded softea=ware. I certainly hope that they stand behind such software when the marketing information is materially in error leading the customer to buy something that doesn't work. Acronis on the other hand essentially has a product that ONLY works on a very narrow set of MAC machines. They should more thoroughly disclose this in all of their marketing information and help customers avoid buying non-working software from them. They border on deceptive advertising here They should and must do a much better job going forward.

Delivered FAST Seems even better than expected

Apple 27" iMac with Retina 5K Display (Late 2015)
Apple 27" iMac with Retina 5K Display (Late 2015)

Pros: Bought this refurbished" mac after waiting too long for Apple to finally issue an update. Intentionally looked for 2 TB Fusion drive because only that one had the much larger SSD portion (vs the very small 1 TB SSD potion on that Fusion). I cannot find any external signs of pre use, and the keyboard and mouse both seem brand new. So far This seems like a new machine.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I purchased he two year extended warranty to help ensure this product. I don't usually take extended warranties, but this time I did because it was refurbished.

Just works

Pros: Bought for my son to use in basement "man cave" where our wired network is not extended and wireless is "iffy". Replaced earlier version from different manufacturer, which was for some reason often losing connectivity. This works great. It is encrypted but doe not seem to lose connectivity.

Cons: none

Shocked: More than List PRICE?

Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA) Model MB110LL/B
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA) Model MB110LL/B

Pros: This is a great keyboard, though limited to usefulness for MACS only due to customizations at correct price this is a good keyboard unless you want to be wireless

Cons: APPLE Sells Direct for only $ 49 with free shipping. Why is this prices at $30 over LIST? NewEgg: You should not allow this to be done on your otherwise excellent Web Catalog site

Great Product

Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac
Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac

Pros: Works as advertised; Allows you to install a license for Windows (or other OS(s) - even more that one of them) on your MAC to run those "Windows Only" applications you need even though you otherwise only use a MAC. It slows your Mac down a little but only when you have it running The Windows products. If you purchase it now (Around August 2014) they will automatically later send you a free upgrade to Parallels 10 which is compatible with the upcoming Yosemite OS for MAC and seems to function smoother and better than version 9 on my Mavericks current OS.

Cons: Could be a little better documented for the user on how things work and how to use it. REMEMBER you STILL have to have a legally licensed copy of the OS you wish to install like Windows.

Overall Review: Getting to a place where I can theoretically go MAC if I wish. My home has several NAS file servers and MANY Windows devices. LOTS of shared file folders. Many heavily used common applications. We are thinking of converting a number of replacement desktop and or laptop machines to Macs( when their time comes) . Parallels is making our test machine closer and closer to being able to make that leap.

Not compatible with iMacs

Product was delivered days after expected. Did not work. Was unable to reach vendor for days. RAM was either bad or not compatible as marketed. Hoping that NewEgg honors its refund policy as return of RAM should be delivered using their return FEDEX today I wish vendor had been contactable to assist when RAM did not work. Have since obtained other RAM which works fine.

Newegg really failed in Customer Service on this one- not like them. I hope this is not the new Newegg Service Model

My comments are really directed to Newegg Customer Service. It is directed to Newegg fails on website communications with customers, and the the total failure of its customer service communications relating to purchase transactions with Premium Customers. (The Computer itself was delivered intact and works just fine). Here is what was totally wrong: Newegg sent several transaction emails as is customary, including an email giving tracking info. (It said not shipped yet.) This continued for DAYS. despite my account being charged. I wrote to Newegg tasing about what is status of my shipment - received absolutely no response. (ever) The shipping company showed initially that a shipping invoice had been created (meaning they knew about it, but did not yet have the product). After a day, they showed it in transit. (however Newegg on its link continued to say it was not yet in transit). Again days delay. no communication from Newegg. I wrote AGAIN to Newegg and asked them what was the status of the shipment. I also pointed out that I had written to them and received no response and asking why. (I was by now wondering if I was somehow. being scammed). AGAIN Newegg never answered. They cannot claim that they did not understand my emails or did not have enough information. All of this was despite my giving them the exact order number and even the link with the full transaction data in my email. Long story, but the shipper did deliver, the computer is fine. And to this day Newegg has never answered any of my notes. I wonder if this is the new Newegg customer service model? If it is, IMHO. it is terrible. This was no $5 transaction. I am a Premium member and have been for years. I still wonder why Newegg has elected to ignore its customers.
