Most Favorable Review

working as expected

Pioneer 3D NAND Internal SSD 1TB - 2.5" / SATA 3/ 6 GB/s Solid State Drive (APS-SL3N-1T)

Pros: Boot takes all of 10 seconds flat. Wishing I had upgraded my boot drive to SSD years ago.

Overall Review: Don't forget to buy a cable...I always forget to do that.

Great Tablet

ASUS TF201-B1-GR 1GB Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Transformer Prime - Gray Android 3.2 Honeycomb Platform (upgradable to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) Gray
ASUS TF201-B1-GR 1GB Memory 10.1" 1280 x 800 Transformer Prime - Gray Android 3.2 Honeycomb Platform (upgradable to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) Gray

Pros: Tablet works extremely well. It feels solid and durable, though I've avoiding testing that. It works great, connects to my WiFi and phones bluetooth reliably, and does almost everything I expected a tablet to do.

Cons: Tethering pretty much just flat out doesn't work. I went through all of the steps with an ASUS rep trying to get it to work, up to and including performing a factory reset on it twice. Looking at other resources online, apparently it's actually Google at fault because with the most recent versions of Android OS, the tablet doesn't recognize having an internet connection unless it's WiFi. I wish the rep would have known this instead of making me perform multiple unnecessary resets.

Overall Review: I haven't really had any of the problems listed in the other reviews here. I have slight issues connecting to weak signals, but I can connect to my In-Laws router that they have in their basement, even when I'm on the top floor. I haven't tried testing out the GPS, as my phone works perfectly fine for that, and as mentioned before, the tablet will not read tethering.

Functional, economically priced router

Rosewill L600N Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N600 Router w/ USB port IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u
Rosewill L600N Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N600 Router w/ USB port IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u

Pros: Easy, simple setup, works with no problems.

Cons: Only drawback is that, for whatever reason, Rosewill dow not allow you to change the default 'admin' username for accessing the router setup page. This seems like a serious security flaw, as if anyone is able to access my network, they have already guessed half the login information needed to login to the setup. This seems like a fairly foolish restriction - why require a username at all if it is always going to be the default 'admin' for every Rosewill router ever made?

It has RANGE!

Pros: I can pick up every wireless signal in my apartment complex with 5 bars on most. I went from a 300 kB/s data rate on my laptops built in wireless to a 2-3 MB data rate with this. It's completely plug and play on Windows 7, I just plugged it in and I got a "Wireless Network Connection 2" list on my Network and Sharing center, no need to even touch the included software disk.

Cons: None as of yet.

Overall Review: The base for the USB extension cord is nice and all, but it would be better if I could Connect it so that it's laying flat, it's easily knocked over as it is. For the time being, I will just use a standard USB extension cable.

Pros: Quality board, I had a small geekgasm when I opened up the BIOS initially(far more attractive than the older blue background and white block text), very easy to use and overclock, or there are still the advanced options for the more advanced users and tweakers out there. Plenty of space for a basic machine or low-end gaming rig.

Cons: Only two memory slots kind of limits future upgrades, but for the price, it's kind of expected.

Overall Review: About to build another machine for my wife, buying the exact same board.

Pros: Opened the Package, installed the Driver, plugged it in, and it's flying. I'm having no issue with it at all, even though the router I'm connecting to is on a lower level of the house, on the other side of the house. I'm still receiving a signal with 83% Strength, and no lag beyond what I had when I had it plugged in through an Ethernet Cable.

Cons: Newegg still prefers DHL over USPS. Even though DHL bypasses my state to deliver it to(Who Else?!) the USPS. It would have gotten here faster and cheaper had it simple been sent through the USPS.

Overall Review: I am unsure of why other people are having so much of a problem with this product as they are. Thisworked perfectly for me right out of the box, no issues whatsoever. Then again, Rosewill has yet to give me any issues with ANY of their products.
