What are you waiting for?

Pros: Great heat control, BEAUTIFUL display, Camera looks and follows movement like no other laptop camera I have seen, Keyboard controls and keys are not mussy like most, sound is very clear and crisp, Back light keys work! WOW full setting over 50FPS in ulduar 25 man Crysis full settings 28FPS was the lowest... me getting killed in CTF :(. NOTHING wrong with this thing!
Cons: Notta
Overall Review: Its heavy... Bad battery life... But this IS a gaming machine... You do not buy this product for its epic battery... You buy it to play all day where ever you go! PLEASE do not downrate this because its heavy or bad battery. Also... Comparing this to the K serious... MUCH BETTER! Keep up the good work ASUS!
Great extender with some minor restrictions

Pros: Please read other thoughts for how I set this up to test it. This device works... It does extend the range by about 70feet INDOORS with things pre N. The N router and devices I had got extended past the 120feet of indoor and I could get it at about 400 feet at 2 bars. The speed was not effected at all! I loved how it kept the throughput and only added about .05 MS to the Response times (Thats both ways so a total of .1Ms) Doesn't run very hot but its warm enough to attract pets... might have to think some about where you place this item. I had to manually configure BUT it was very easy to do so! Props for a smooth manual setup! It scans and connects to device you select, like your PC would. Then type in the password if you have one (I hope you do!) and its connected! The size is both a Pro and a Con... but more on that later~
Cons: This Device works... BUT~ I noticed the more... Simple device, like e-readers and other smaller 'smart' devices had trouble connecting. Played with settings and no avail. They would connect then disconnect. Say connected but no internet. Or just unable to connect at all. Every PC, Laptop, Larger Tablet, and 8/10 Smart phones connected without problems. The device should be able to boost more then 150feet in my opinion. However I think the size and lack of a neutral/ground plug to stabilize the power flow is to blame for that. Its a VERY small device and only 2 prong. A design change would fix this and maybe push it a hair farther. Something else to think about is that if you have a faceplate on your wall outlets that is thick/sticks out, this will not plug into it! Or if it does then it will have exposed prongs sticking out of the outlet. There are ways around this both on your end, and theirs... A simple design change would fix this issue. Until then however any plug extender will fix the issue for you. I had to configure the device manually 3/4 times (Again 4 different routers used, see other thoughts for how I tested) HOWEVER that was very easy. For some reason the WPS would not work with 3/4 routers I tested. Only a top line wireless N router worked with the WPS... however the Wireless G router from the same maker would not.
Overall Review: First off I wanted to make sure I was testing the extender and not picking up my routers. So on the routers I pulled/removed the antennas. Built a paper/wood box to stick them in. Then continued adding layers until I could only get 5 bars at about 5 feet. At that point I then plugged in the extender right next to the box and confirmed it had 5 bar connection. This was done to set up the test and make sure I was connecting through the extender and not the router. Once I was done with that I went to the other end of my house and set up a computer with a Wireless G and then a Wireless N external USB device. Then a laptop with the same USB devices (So there was no differences with antenna size or strength). The mobile device used were popular/name brand items that are top sellers. 10 smart phones, 4 tablets, and 2 e-readers were used. Ping, Network analyzed protocols and benchmark tools were used to find the speeds and time with this set up and then without this setup. Over all this device works as it is designed to work. However you may want to stay clear if you have e-readers because for some reason they have problems with this extender. It could be the E-readers are to weak and have to pour a signal to connect at the range I was testing, but, they would show 3+ bars out of 4/5... so over 50%. 1 Star was removed since only 1 router I tested could do the WPS connection. Another removed because the E-Readers would not work with it. A lot of the reviews are saying they had issues with the same SSID. Those users should move the range extender further away from the router. What happens is most device don't handle access point switching well and what is happening most likely is the device is connection back and forth from access point to their router then back again. Changing the SSID will fix this however a simpler fix would be to set up the extender further away so you are not bouncing back and forth while you are moving through the middle area. Ideally you want these two signals to be at max range. Final thoughts. Its well worth the price and its a great device. Easily a 5/5 if they fix the minor cons I mentioned. However if you have no pets, no e-readers, and don't have nice faceplates on your wall plugs. Then this is perfect for you! What are you waiting for?
Cheap!!!!!

Pros: Mesh back so it does breath well (Read CONS!) Arm rests are smooth with some traction on them so they don't kill your arms. The bottom seat seems to remember your seating pattern well.
Cons: After about 3 days of tightening the lumbar down so the top half of the seat wont tilt back to far. I decide to look and see what is going on. The lumbar bottom half that mounts with the adjusting screw is BENT! I only weigh 167 pounds when I am bloated and have not used the restroom and yet I somehow bent this "Metal" beam that is supporting the back part of the chair. I have had cheaper build it yourself chairs on clearance and even show floor hold up for years before they showed any signs of the lumbar bending. Since day one I was never able to get lower back to head support. The back would arch away and not support my head with ANY amount of me 'leaning' back to get the support.
Overall Review: If they would make the metal stronger (Or use real metal) then this would be a great buy. As is, it might be good enough for someone under 100 pounds to use. DO NOT GET!
Update on Pats review 6/11/2013

Pros: Scores very high on every test I have ran. The fan noise in my large tower is barely noticeable at all even when temps are reported around 63c. I set the fan to 100% just to hear the noise and its noticeable but just sound like a light hum. Even my wife asked 'what's that nice hum?' Beautiful delivery I got the Nvidia 3D Vision set up with 2 monitors for a wide aspect view. WoW runs at 42FPS in ToT LFR in the boss fights. In Batman AC at max with 3D and Physics 32FPS at the lowest recorded Frame Rate. For the price this card is going to keep delivering for about 3 years at least Med-High settings on even the highest end games 3 years from now! The included cooling keeps the card below 68C with the above games and tests. The fans max % was 43. Its got plenty of play and room to keep the card cool. Should last a good long time before it need a reflow or compound replacement.
Cons: The only CON I can see is how thin the card is. I don't like how thin they are getting now a days. It makes it so easy, with how long they are and heavy, to bend them.
Overall Review: It took a RMA and a ADV. RMA before I got a working card. Over a month of working with Jeremy before I got my working unit... buts that on both of us since I could fax forms quickly and due to the nature of whatever is wrong with the card I got. I think something was wrong with one of the logic controllers or something. Anyways long story short Asus came though and I am happy once again. Please read my earlier review to see what happen. But other then that what are you waiting for? It stays cool, Runs the best games at max, and it built to last! The RMA team got me my working item and there's only been 2 reporting members saying they had to RMA out of hundreds. That 97% good on first install items running out there. Don't worry~ it works great and you should buy this if you are considering it!
Long cable at a good cost

Pros: The cable is good and thick and still contours to corners and bends well. Its also heavy so I have no doubts it will stay shielded for a good long time even with it being ran though such a maze of twist and turns. Quality is clear! I figure I see some snow with a cable this long and its clear!
Cons: Its Heavy... Yes that's a Pro and a Con. Its going to take some time to place this cable where you need it to go.
Overall Review: I bought it so I could run 1 source in two rooms. Ran cable through attic space with room to spare. I can tell with how clear the image is and how heavy it is that this thing is VERY well shielded. Might even be an inexpensive way to wire AV in your house if you wanted.
Does what is says

Pros: The card records GREAT and does what it says. Use it to record some shows so I can play them back for a love one later. (I delete them afterwards so it is only for private view pure the User Agreements of public broadcast.)
Cons: None for THIS device but read other thoughts
Overall Review: The model before this one offered RCA recording + upvert to 720P which is GREAT! I was disappointed to see they removed that from the new model. Though the add of a big red button is nice... and draws attention from visiting guest ~~ Overall the device works great but the lost of a costly converter is why I gave it 4 stars. Almost makes me want to return it and get the less pricy/older one.
