Pros: Simple no-brainer setup. Unlike most competitors, Cradlepoint lists this unit as compatible with Cricket's 3G USB devices. I haven't tried Cricket; however - if available in your area - $45/month for unlimited use with no contract is a lot less than what the larger 3G carriers charge.

Cons: Antennas aren't removable/upgradable. Limited range.

Overall Review: This is the easiest Wi-Fi router I have ever set up. No CDs. No hassles. Plug in the 3G card, type the router's IP address and set the security password. Done. For locations requiring broadband without available T1, Cable or DSL options this product is a life saver. I set this up in a new building where the T1 won't be installed for several weeks. Six of us are able to share one Sprint 3G card for e-mail, vendor sites and software updates that would be hard (if not impossible) to accomplish using Blackberry or iPhones. I'm knocking off one egg due to Cradlepoint's marginal (and non-removable) antennas. Average is 3-4 bars over a 2,000 sq. ft. area; signal is basically useless beyond 40 feet or three walls, whichever comes first. If I had the option of installing high gain antennas, the range would be much better.

Pros: none

Cons: I made the mistake of buying a few sets from one of my wholesalers for sale in my PC repair store. * 650 watts? I've heard USB powered speakers without a subwoofer that are louder.and have better sound quality. * About a 50% defect rate. Luckily I could exchange the bad ones locally. Having to ship a set back via UPS would have cost as much as the speakers themselves.

Overall Review: Avoid these like the plague. If there was a zero egg rating, these would have earned it.

Pros: Compact. Great if/when it works.

Cons: I purchased one of these from a local retailer last June. It worked fine for about 7 months until it every PC connected to it (both XP and 7) stopped responding and indicated the USB connection was malfunctioning. I returned it and exchanged it for the same model. Three weeks later, same problem.

Overall Review: I own a PC repair shop. Having a working KVM switch is a necessity, not an option. The time and hassle this model has caused me to upgrade to a pro-grade KVM (different brand). If you value your time and don't want to play Russian Roulette with your KVM switch, stay away from this model.

Pros: Digital readout, Easy to connect

Cons: Error codes poorly explained in manual.

Overall Review: I've had this model for over a year and really liked it, until today. The tester gave me an "HH" code with two beeps. When I checked the one page instruction sheet (poorly written in "Engrish"), it stated the "HH" code and two beeps indicated an over voltage power condition (the test readings of 11.9V, 12.1v, 3.3v and 5.0v are within normal tolerances and don't seem to indicate any "over voltage" issue). Coolmax's web site is no help whatsoever on figuring this out.

Pros: * Larger screen than watching TV on a cell/smart phone. * Portable. * Decent tuner if close to TV tower

Cons: * Does not come with 12-volt/car adapter * Rechargable battery only * Not good for "fringe" signals (40+ miles away)

Overall Review: A small battery-powered TV is a must for power blackouts caused by hurricanes or other severe weather. If you have an older (2+ years) portable TV, it's time to replace it if it only picks up old "analog" signals. Now that all TV signals in the USA are digital, it'll be useless. A close friend of mine received one of these for the Holidays. It has an adaquate picture quality for a portable unit; slightly better than some off-brand models I've seen. The only downside is it cannot use alkaline batteries in the event of a long power outage. Unless you have a UPS or other backup 120-volt power source, watch it sparingly as you'll only get a few hours of viewing time per charge. A 12-volt car adapter would be a nice option if available. If you don't want to add a USB TV tuner card to your notebook PC, this is a decent option.

Pros: * ASUS brand reputation for DVD burner quality * Plug & Play Install * Plays/Records all formats except Blu-Ray * Insanely low price

Cons: Cons? They're people locked up in prison - but that isn't important right now. <g>

Overall Review: As a tech who moonlights, I always keep a spare on hand for upgrades or replacements. Great quality -- so far I've never had to replace or RMA one (knocking on wood).
