Most Favorable Review

No frills, it delivers!

SeaSonic SS-300ET Bronze 300 W ATX12V V2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
SeaSonic SS-300ET Bronze 300 W ATX12V V2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: PSU. Very quiet as long as you keep the power draw under 150w at the plug. As cheap as you can get for a bronze plus.

Cons: Cables are on the short side; but I was warned when I read the other reviews, so no surprise here.

Overall Review: Fits the needs for probably 85% of the worlds computers!!!

Pros: Dirt cheap

Cons: Reception is VERY bad; only two stations... While one cause could be that I live in an appartment, I expected better than two stations. I live in a city of 100 000.

Once the (correct) drivers are installed, works flawlessly

USB3.1(GEN 2) PCI-E Expansion Card Adapter ORICO USB3.1 Type-C and Type-A 2-Port PCI Express Card PCI-E Card SATA Power Connector - 10Gbps ASM1142 Chpset for Desktop PC

Pros: Works as advertised.

Overall Review: Got a few of these at a ridiculous price to upgrade the computers of my relatives; no complaints and amazing speed difference. Be aware that these cards need a x4 pci-e slot. Modifified one of the cards by removing enough gold plated fingers in order to fit in an old motherboard PCI-E x1 slot and it worked. Transfer speeds where still high while using a single usb 3.1 peripheral.

It delivers

Overall Review: Decent speeds attained on my network using this tiny usb network card. Been using it for the last 8 months without any problems.

Exactly what the doctor ordered

Pros: Came in exactly as promised. Screen is in perfect shape (was my fear). Everything checked and is functionnal. Came with one single 4gb memory stick, allowing an extra slot for future memory upgrade. Even the two usb ports are still tight fitting. Display backlighting is not a low as some review remarked. Bios update fixed minor bugs as being able to ajust backlighting while on batteries. SSD has no bad sectors and 1650 hours on.

Cons: Class B means: a 1 cm dent on the cover, 1 mm deep. Hinges are a bit loose where they slide in the frame. Two small rubber feet missing. Battery (6 cell) has an autonomy of 3 hours while surfing the web, not the best.

Overall Review: Considering it's a grade B laptop and I paid 200 CAN$ on pre-black friday (a 20$ rebate). I got what I wanted. Built like a tank (hey it's an Elitebook) and fairly light.

Great little cam once update is done.

Pros: Ok resolution for general surveillance. Software for my Android is great: you can even pick which zone you wish to be under movement surveillance. For a refurb, everything looked brand new.

Cons: Was losing wi-Fi connection to camera often. Once firmware update was done, no more problems.

Overall Review: Wouldn't buy this at full price.
