Good Monitor
Pros: Good picture quality Sturdy design Monitor looks great
Cons: No speakers, usb ports or HDMI connection (knew this when buying it so not knocking off any eggs)
Overall Review: Great monitor but the pictured one is not the one i received! The one i received is all black with no grey trim as shown. A little disappointed by that but otherwise, it is a great monitor.
Great SSD
Pros: This SSD has been wonderful for me with no problems as of yet. Computer boots up EXTREMELY quickly. All icons are loaded and programs launch instantly after start-up. I haven't even updated the firmware to the newest version, and that is supposed to increase it's speed even more. Works great for running games. Played BF3 on this computer and this SSD loaded levels very quickly and easily.
Cons: Pricier than a standard hard drive?
Overall Review: Absolutely worth the money!
good product for the money
Pros: -tv on your computer for a relatively low cost compared to a tv -ability to record shows while you're not there -pretty good picture quality -ability to hook up all sorts of devices through the rca cable adapter provided (such as vcr, game console, dvd player etc...) -great for college dorms (exactly what i use it for)
Cons: -HD doesn't work on mine, maybe it doesn't have HD support (i thought elgato's website said it does) -uses up a lot of computing power unless you have an intel mac -computer has to be on to record programs (i have a laptop so sometimes i close it forgetting i'm about to record a program)`
Overall Review: this is a great little dangle. provides a quality dvr right on your computer. gives you the ability to record programs and then burn them onto a dvd with toast 9 (sadly toast 9 is not included). overall i'm very happy with this product!
Good External HD
Pros: looks great, 7200 rpm, and works very well.
Cons: capacity maybe? 320gb is a little small.
Overall Review: great hard drive for the money.
Great mouse, for casual use.
Pros: Pretty accurate mouse and has a relatively good feel to it. Very small receiver.
Cons: Buttons are in an awkward place. After about 5 months the mouse wheel got sticky and wont allow the wheel to scroll very quickly. Also i recently got into playing first person shooters a lot and after you've been playing for a while your hand starts to hurt because the mouse is too small.
Overall Review: This mouse was great when i first got it. I know it's not made for playing games so that's why I'm still giving it 4 stars.
