Most Favorable Review

Good value

KINAMAX CR-SDMMC OEM 24-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader
KINAMAX CR-SDMMC OEM 24-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: Fast, installed and mounted in Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux quickly.

Cons: A little thick, could be hard to fit into some close-quarters USB ports.

Most Critical Review

Not fully 64-bit functional

Samsung SCX-4521F MFC / All-In-One Up to 20 ppm Monochrome LPT / USB Laser Printer
Samsung SCX-4521F MFC / All-In-One Up to 20 ppm Monochrome LPT / USB Laser Printer

Pros: + Warm-up time is quick. + Printing is lightspeed! + Clarity is decent. + Built-in fax is handy

Cons: - NO WINDOWS XP x64 SCAN SUPPORT! (This disappointed me the most. I bought this unit AFTER checking the Samsung website for XP x64 drivers, and then made my purchase. Then I tried installing the Scanner drivers, but the installation told me my OS wasn't supported. I emailed Samsung Tech Support, and they said the driver is on the website and labeled as x64 mistakingly. What a mistake...) - Power-saving mode's shortest timer is 5 minutes, and until those 5 minutes are up, the thing idles super noisily.

Overall Review: If I could set the power-saver to 1 minute or less, and the scan drivers ACTUALLY worked for XP x64, I would have given this a rating of 5.

tough, but weak?

Kensington 17" SaddleBag Sport Notebook Backpack Model 62232
Kensington 17" SaddleBag Sport Notebook Backpack Model 62232

Pros: Looks good, shoulder straps are supported by the whole backpack (they will not, CANNOT rip), many compartments, pockets, etc.

Cons: Nearly all zipper handles broke within 1 semester (at school).

Overall Review: Good backpack. Didn't fit MY 17" laptop (Sager NP9880), but that laptop was huge for a 17" (thick). Havent been able to find a backpack any bigger.

Great

Pros: Cheap, works flawlessly with my VX9900 (enV).

Cons: Nada, yo.

Not so quiet

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3250820AS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (Perpendicular Recording) Bare Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3250820AS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (Perpendicular Recording) Bare Drive

Pros: Fast, lost of space for the money.

Cons: Noisier than my other Seagate hard drives, and they are IDE drives. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Overall Review: I have the Sonata II case which comes with the rubber mounting grommets for the HDD trays, so the drive really doesn't make THAT much noise.
