don't need no stinkin netbook

Acer Aspire Timeline 11.6" Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 4GB Memory DDR2 667 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit LX.SA202.006
Acer Aspire Timeline 11.6" Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 4GB Memory DDR2 667 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit LX.SA202.006

Pros: tiny, incredibly light, suitably powerful, runs Win7ultimate very fast with all the silly visual stuff ON (faster off of course) Crisp screen, decent graphics, HDMI, cardreader

Cons: no optical but hey I haven't used my optical drive for 6mo, flash is the future. Its not a gaming rig....Duh but it doesn't cost what a slim Mac or Viao does either either.

Overall Review: The perfect laptop, portable, powerful, long battery life, cheap, replaces a Dell Latitude D810 which cost $2.5k, and its 1/3rd the weight and faster. Brown is Down; UPs took ~1 week for 3 day delivery, Newegg ROCKS!

Pros: sleek black frame 10.4mm effective bezel good resolution good color cheap

Brought back to life

SAMSUNG 2233SW High Glossy Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(1000:1)  w/ HDCP Support
SAMSUNG 2233SW High Glossy Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(1000:1) w/ HDCP Support

Pros: nice picture

Cons: no VESA, also broke after 3 yrs

Overall Review: I repaired this monitor after its backlight failed, it had classic 30 sec to black symptom and you could see picture if you held bright light up to it. This was one of the last CCFL backlight monitors and it has a power supply of very high voltage to drive CCFL. The capacitors in power supply had gone bad, got $6 worth or replacements and soldered them in. Lots of good info on badcaps.

Pros: good toner, good prints

Cons: claims to be MT when it is not, taping 2 small toner windows gives ~1k more prints! Also flag gear reset is a good skill too

Overall Review: this is where the money is, the printers are given away
