Most Critical Review

Huge disapointment

D-Link Wireless Dual Band AC1200 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-182)
D-Link Wireless Dual Band AC1200 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-182)

Pros: AC Speeds, on a friendly USB form factor, when it works.

Cons: Where should i start, let see, I open the box, and the first thing i notice is that the USB Expansion cradle was missing, then when I install the drivers for the AC USB adapter right away it started giving me hell, it would connect and then disconnect, it seem to only be stable when using 802.11 N wireless network, when i tried to use 802.11 AC it would start malfunctioning, I notice that when using AC the USB stick would get really hot, however when using 802.11 N it would only get warm, as a computer professional I can say that D-link let me down on this one, I have bought D-link products before, and none had failed me like this one until now, what a disappointment.

Overall Review: D-link tends to make reliable networking products but I feel that they might be dropping the ball, on this one, what a disappointment.

Broken laptop

ASUS G53 Series 15.6" Intel Core i7-2630QM 8GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASUS G53 Series 15.6" Intel Core i7-2630QM 8GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: For the price this is a great laptop, it has a quad core cpu and a mid high end video card, and a fast 7200 RPM hard drive.

Cons: it came with a broken screen i bought the computer 15 days ago and i still haven't received a replacement from new egg yet, i wish they would take matters like this more seriously.

Pros: For the price you wont find a better video card it performs even better than a GeForce 200 series

Cons: The power requirements and the size of the card

This thing is huge

ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: It keeps the cpu cool even when i OC it to 3.0GHz, this is the best heat sink by far

Cons: the size, that is all

Overall Review: make sure that you have space in your case and motherboard to install this thing before you buy it
