Corporate Use

IOGEAR GKM552R Black USB RF Wireless Slim Long Range Keyboard and Mouse Combo
IOGEAR GKM552R Black USB RF Wireless Slim Long Range Keyboard and Mouse Combo

Pros: I am the technical support for a large corporation. We have been using ioGear long-range wireless keyboards in all of our conference and meeting rooms for the last 5 years and have had very good results. The range covers everything we have tried so far and our user community has not experienced any problems.

Cons: Sometimes users inadvertently turn off the keyboard and don't know how to turn it back on (but there are instructions printed on the keyboard... user error).

Overall Review: If you want long range and reliability, this is a good fit.

Most Critical Review

Not for corporate use

HP Officejet 6100 Up to 16 ppm (ISO) Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi (optimized) Color Print Quality WiFi 802.11b/g Thermal Inkjet Workgroup Color Printer with ePrint Capability
HP Officejet 6100 Up to 16 ppm (ISO) Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi (optimized) Color Print Quality WiFi 802.11b/g Thermal Inkjet Workgroup Color Printer with ePrint Capability

Pros: Nice print quality. Fast and clean printing.... no complaints there.

Cons: You go through ink at a RIDICULOUS rate. Expect to change out the ink within a few days use of unpacking this printer. THEN, expect to replace ink with each ream of paper. Changing the settings to draft/fast helped some but did not produce enough savings to recommend this printer. We bought 3 of these to use at our corporate headquarters and the results are dismal and expensive to operate. I am giving this 2 eggs instead of 1 because it does print well.

Overall Review: HP should re-work this line to more closely resemble the K550 in ink use. It woud also be nice to allow the end user to disable wireless.

Very Useful

BYTECC BT-300 USB 2.0 to IDE / SATA Adapter
BYTECC BT-300 USB 2.0 to IDE / SATA Adapter

Pros: I work in IT for a large company. We use this adapter several times a week. When a hard drive fails (as they often do) we use it to extract data from the old drive. This particular model is EXACTLY what we need because it works on all our users' drives... laptop/IDE/SATA.

Cons: We purchased several of these and almost all of the power cords failed. Luckily, it uses a standard PC power cable and we have thousands of them laying around.

Overall Review: This is NOT the connector you want to use for a permanent backup solution. For that you will want a full encolsure. I deducted the one egg because of the power cable.

SONY DSC-P200 Silver 7.2MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
SONY DSC-P200 Silver 7.2MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Comments: I usually like Sony products. Do not buy this camera, unless you plan on taking your pictures with a tripod and keeping it in a protective case at all times. We dropped the camera 3 feet to the ground and now it does not work. It will cost more to fix than replace. The images are blurry unless you keep the camera perfectly still. I have Sony EVERYTHING and I am going to buy another brand

Disappointing

Cases (Computer Cases - ATX Form)
Cases (Computer Cases - ATX Form)

Comments: Every single piece was mis-aligned and basically out of tolerance... I had to adjust all expansion cards to get them to fit properly. The 5.25" bays were all mis-aligned and I had to remove the plug from the bay below to get the CD drives to fit. The USB/Aidio motherboard connectors are minimal and they did not come with any installation diagram. I felt very mislead from the previous reviews. I did like the color.
