Solid, not EDC but nice
Pros: Uniform circular beam pattern with a uniform centered circular hot spot Light is white, no bluish cast as many "white" LEDs tend to be Build quality is very good Clicky tailswitch - click on high, then rapid click off/on for low = uncomplicated Can partially depress tailswitch for momentary on Regulated for maximum consistent light output Only requires one AA battery which are readily available
Cons: Clicky switch protrudes such that you cannot stand it on its tail Will roll if placed on a non-level flat surface Included lanyard is of no particular use for me Too big to comfortably carry in your pocket Everyday price seems a bit on the high side but sale price definitely made it worth the $$$
Overall Review: My pros and cons are very subjective and of course are based on my personal preferences. I knew this was not a light you would want to put in your pocket, so I didn't order this expecting it to be an EDC light. Also prefer lights that take "alphabet" batteries. Many tailswitch lights cannot tailstand, but I prefer if they can. That said, my favorite EDC remains the Streamlight Microstream that cannot tailstand. Coolest light pattern is LED Lenser P4 which throws a beam that is very uniform with NO hotspot, can't tailstand either. Most unique and stowable Pak-Lite which will tailstand and is very small it snaps on top of a 9V battery, quite blueish but too fun. Best fridge-top flashlight Duracell Daylite 2 C cell which can tailstand and thereby act like a "candle" to provide some measure of area lighting. Best outdoor light Mag-Light 4 D cell LED. These are a few of my favorite things :-) I already have 15 LED flashlights so I didn't really need another but oh well.
Great while it lasted
Pros: Loved the clarity of the DVI connection. Graphics performance was very pleasing, worked great in my Linux system.
Cons: Only lasted about a week, then no video. The PC appeared to boot based on the HDD activity but no video. Pulled the card and switched back to on board video and everything worked fine.
Overall Review: Seems quite a few others have had similar experiences with this card. I should have paid closer attention to the reviews... 25% rated it less than 5 eggs. This experience certainly puts me off from considering EVGA products in the future. Fortunately, Newegg minimized my damages to about $25 and stood behind their 30 day warranty. Glad I hadn't cut out the UPC code for the rebate! Thanks, Newegg!!!
Great product at a good price, TekRefurbs was exceptional
Pros: System was super clean inside and out, almost like new Fresh install of Windows 10 Pro booted straight out of the box System matched listed specifications A USB wireless LAN adapter was included
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: The system was even better than I anticipated. (Granted, it's 6 year old technology, but for what I do it is MORE than enough.) The system was immaculately clean inside and out. Even though I ordered it right before the holidays and the initial expected delivery date was January 3rd, it arrived on December 27th, a full week ahead of when I expected it. The seller, TekRefurbs, was extremely prompt in replying to my email inquiries, and Lindsey (the administrative assistant, and my point of contact) was awesome in addressing my questions and was just a great "customer interface". I will definitely use Newegg/TekRefurbs in the future!
Very satisfied
Pros: Solidly constructed aluminum housing USB ports are spaced apart Plenty of power provided by external AC adapter Very attractive and sensible design, with power and PC USB connections on back and expansion ports on front
Cons: The flipping blue LED on top could be a homing beacon for ET
Overall Review: WHY DO MANUFACTURERS THINK THAT WE NEED LEDS BRIGHT ENOUGH TO LIGHT UP A ROOM!?!?!?! Or couldn't they at least make a way to turn it off or dim it? And seriously the thing is on 24 x 7, since the USB port is powered up continually. ONE EGG OFF FOR THAT!!! Anway, other than that rant, I am very pleased with this hub. My PC only has USB 2.0 ports so I focused specifically on USB 2.0 hubs, no need in spending a bit extra for a USB 3.0 hub. So far I've only used this hub with a couple of different brands of USB flash drives, and an Orico 2595 USB powered HDD enclosure housing a Western Digital Black 7200 RPM 500GB 2.5" disk drive. Has worked flawlessly, and 28MB/sec write speed to HDD (51GB in 30 minutes), Not too shabby, IMHO. Would recommend this hub if you are in the market for at USB 2.0 hub. Oh and one last thing, make sure to search the Newegg site by the description and model, this product is sold by both Newegg and third party vendors and their prices differ. I paid a couple of $ more than I needed to...
Works great for me, very pleased
Pros: Very affordable Tool-less HDD installation was a snap (once I figured out what I was doing wrong) Compact Attractive design No Y cable to suck up two USB ports
Cons: None
Overall Review: Bought a Western Digital Black 2.5" 500GB SATA 3 7200 RPM HDD to put into a NexStar enclosure that I got for cheap. Operation was unreliable with that enclosure, plus it used a USB cable with a Y to connect to 2 USB ports and I disliked that. After much research and looking around on line, I settled on this Orico enclosure. I needed something that was SATA 3 compatible, and I was only interested in a USB 2.0 PC interface, didn't want anything additional. This fit the bill perfectly. I took the WD HDD out of the other enclosure and put it in this. Took me a while to correctly operate the latch button when closing and locking the front of the enclosure but once I realized that I needed to push in on the button as I attempted to slide it to the right, it worked like clockwork. Did a backup of my home directory on my Linux box, 51GB in 30 minutes, which was about half the time that I guesstimated. VERY pleased with the results and I'm VERY tempted to order another of these and another WD HDD to go into it.
Very pleased with this phone
Pros: Uses AA rechargeable batteries 1.9 GHz so it doesn't interfere with the wireless router Ringer can be turned off Very well thought out feature set Doesn't have an answering machine which I didn't want (there is a version that does if you do want it that way)
Cons: None
Overall Review: I wish the back light would be configurable so that you could set it so that it would stay on when the phone was in the cradle. But that's really a nitpick. Another nitpick, I almost wish the handset was a little larger. Other than those two minor "wish list" items, there isn't anything about this phone that Panasonic didn't nail, IMHO. Sound quality is very good. Haven't tested the maximum range but it goes anywhere in my house and that's all I really need. Would I buy this phone again? Absolutely.
This is my second purchase from TekRefurbs, and it was excellent, too
Product arrived on time. It looked almost new. Working absolutely fine running Zorin Linux. I would highly recommend this seller to anyone. Only minor flaw was I asked it if could be shipped without Win 10 installed, as I was planning to install Linux on it. When it arrived, Windows 10 Pro was installed. Not a reason to take off an egg, but a waste of a Windows license. Oh, well, no harm done. VERY IMPRESSED with the equipment in both purchases, will definitely use them again in the future when the need arises.
Great product, great seller
The system arrived a full week ahead of the initial projected delivery date (in the midst of the Christmas holiday rush). It was extremely clean, almost like new, inside and out. A fresh install of Windows 10 Pro booted up flawlessly, and a USB wireless LAN adapter was included in the box (although it was NOT listed in on the product page). Lindsey (the customer service person that responded when I reached out to them) resolved a minor discrepancy very quickly. Her communications were timely and clear, and she was a superb "customer interface". Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this seller and will look to do business with them again in the future when the need arises.
