Pros: This is a very fast printer optimized to efficiently use its modest 128MB of printer memory. Installation is just a breeze!..... unpackage, install toner cartridge, power up and use the supplied cd, voila'...up and printing. Faster than many of the high end postcript and pcl printers out in the market since all the processing is handled by the pc itself. Because this Pantum 2502 is a wireless design you can also capitalize on everyone in the household directing their printing needs to one device. Savings are obvious since you no longer have to stock different toner/inks for each of your various printers. Would be nice to have duplex printing but this is easily remedied by refeeding the printed simplex page a second time provided you manually reinsert the first side correctly. Pantum web site though slow appears to have drivers not only for windows but also Mac, Android and Linux along with manuals in pdf format.

Cons: Complex print jobs with embedded EPS calls might not necessarily ender or print correctly but this is to be expected with a entry level printer such as this Pantum P2502. Replacement toner cartridges not readily stocked or sold by third party sellers as yet .... I suspect Pantum is following HP's printer sales strategy....give away the printer at cost and make up for this with expensive toner cartridge replacements. Solid area coverage on printouts have a slight but noticeable strobing...again a trait of entry level printers. Searches on how to refill spent toner cartridges are non existent hence for me it will be a trial and error process just to see if I can successfully refill my own cartridges with easily purchased generic toner. Until this shortfall is resolved replacement toner cartridges in my opinion are a tad expensive, not readily stocked locally, and presently sold online by a few select vendors. Paper tray holds roughly 150 sheets of letter sized stock....far too small for large print runs. Top manual tray according to documentation states envelope printing is acceptable....wrong!.....continuous envelope jams which requires a convoluted way of clearing jammed stock. Whoever designed this 2502 printer should have thought possibly about a more elegant way of clearing jammed sheets of envelopes/paper stock.

Overall Review: Delivery times by Newegg again is top notch, packaged well, and handled by UPS...what's NOT to like about this? As of this date there are very limited vendors of replacement toner cartridges...even Newegg appears to be out of stock on this one...unusual!

Pros: If you are a prior TP-Link customer with the older TL-850RE Range Extender you will be pleasantly surprised thatsetting this newer TL-854RE is practically identical and easy. This newest TL-854RE carries forward the very same slick design and in my earlier review of the 850RE you can also use this as a convenient hallway night light but be forewarned the addition of any range extender/access point typically always halves the bandwidth downward on your router. Quality again of TP-Link products is excellent and the manufacturer still extends their warranty for a solid 2-years after purchase. This wireless range extender obviously is way better than the older powerline range extenders since you do NOT need a minimum of 2 powerline devices to extend your range.

Cons: The older TP-Link TL-WA850RE is just way better in value over this new TL-WA854RE since it does NOT have the built-in external RJ-45 Ethernet port. I've used both the 850RE and now the 854RE and they do indeed extend the range (typically around 60-75 feet) which for me is enough to cover the dead spots on the far end of the house. Darn shame this model range extender does not embrace the 802.11ac standard which is the latest frame standard.

Overall Review: Documentation and support is top notch....TP-Link web site has the latest documentation easily downloadable 24x7.

Pros: Purchased 1 of these NVMe's from Newegg in November and now I'm regretting the fact I didn't purchased 2 more of these. Though this NVMe was cachless the drive is spectacular in performance going on a month now. I never cheap out when it comes to NVMe drives and currently it's very spartan out there with outrageous prices for suppliers who currently have stock.

Cons: None available even at the local "brick's and mortar" competitors. Plenty of 2nd tier NVMe's however their longevity has burned me pretty badly with high mortality rates.

Overall Review: This Samsung 990 EVO Plus NVMe is amazingly fast even without a built-in cache. Paid just $84 + tax from Newegg and I now regret the fact I didn't purchase 2 more. If you are contemplating a build don't wait....I see prices doubling this year. I have this 990 EVO Plus installed as a boot drive on a Asus Maximus Z890 Hero and originally thought I was over-paying at the time. This same MB originally set me back $399 and today, January 3rd Newegg has the very same MB selling for $699 + Tax. Price increases are simply mind boggling. A decent pc build will definitely double in cost in 2026

Pros: This no frills Asus Strix MB installed cleanly and loading Windows 11 was a joy using a "Rufus" bootable flash drive. I was even able to re-use an old Windows 10 license key from my work Microsoft ActionPack. I'm elated I built this pc as early as I did....prices of DDR5 ram have tripled in price....ouch! This is my first AIO enabled pc and the absence of fan noise is amazingly welcome.

Cons: Lot's of bloatware with Windows 11 so be sure and use a custom tailored "Rufus" enabled flashdrive to disable bitlocker, TPM, and the dreaded Microsoft Account enrollment. The average home user doesn't require these types of bloat!

Overall Review: I had to quickly assemble a new pc in preparation for tax season and once again I purchased from Newegg instead of my local brick's&mortar store due to their limited selection of motherboards and AIO's. Price increases are inevitable and this goaround was no different. The good news was Newegg provided a good education (reviews read), parts availability, and above all choices. This Asus Strix Z890 MB installed and powered up uneventfully which was a good thing. Been using this new build since early November and it hasn't given me any problems whatsoever. Because of this I'm already assembling another build for my son this time with another Asus MB (Asus Maximus Z890 Hero) purchased also from Newegg. I trust both Intel and Asus simply because I've never had any issues going back 20+ years alll the way back to the Intel 920 CPU. What makes this Strix motherboard so nice is the fact I can still repurpose my old 25 years old Cooler Master HAF full tower, fand the old power supply thereby saving me money to put to use elsewhere.

Pros: This is my 2nd purchase of Corsair DDR5 memory and it's easier to overclock than the other inexpensive brands.

Cons: The enpense of DDR5 is "thru the roof" however I know it will onlly increase in price in the following months. Glad I made the purchase since it's already getting scarce both online and locally.

Overall Review: Corsair DDR5 memory plays extremely nicely with any of the Asus motherboards. The XMP profiles are very conservative and you can tweek the memory further but why bother? Glad I made the majority of my purchases prior to Xmas .... avoid the delays and get it done people!

Pros: This was my first AIO water cooled desktop and I'm quite impressed. No noice whatsoever when the desktops are powered up. Huge difference in boot times, page refresh times .... just raw beautify speed! No more external hubs since each of these 2 MB's have ample USB ports.

Cons: Huge price increases in DDR5 memory. While I was able to repurpose one of the 2 desktop cases, the pc landscape has changed dramatically. I wasn't able to repurpose any of the old desktop power supplies because of the absence of both 6 and 8-pin power sources so plan for this otherwise the delay in build times are frustrating beyond belief! I do know I'll be stocking up on a spare PS when Newegg has another sale.

Overall Review: In preparation for Windows 10 going bye-bye I decided it was best to finally upgrade to something more current nsince my last home build was completed in 2008. What sealed the deal was the fact tax season was right around the corner and TurboTax, my preferred tax prepation package, requires either a Mac OS or the new Windows 11 operating system. No amount of workarounds could coax another year out of the old desktop. Exacerbating matters was the fact even Schwab, my brokerage house, was pushing back each time I attempted to establish a funds transfer. Risk not being able to complete our household tax reporting I put the first of 2 new Z890 chipset systems together. Technologies have dramatically changed since 2008 but nothing I couldn't work through. The first Z890 build was a joy to complete hence the 2nd build included this ROG Maximus X890 Hero MB. Total build time was atad over a day and now provides as a backup desktop for the family's bonline bill payments, banking, but most importantly brokerage services. I prefer Newegg over the local brick's and mortat locations simply because of Newegg's huge selection of motherboards, AIO's and power supplies choices ..... way more than the other store.
