Pros: - many display input options - quality color rendering - easy access menu

Cons: - a little "wobbly" for powering on/off

Overall Review: My second Dell 2K display; Using this one attached to a Raspberry PI 4 (dedicated for work). Works well with a standard micro-HDMI adapter, and has served well with my laptop and a thunderbolt/display port adapter. Switching between different inputs has been simple (as opposed to my older dell monitor, which is a bit more difficult). Color rendition and clarity are a plus.

Pros: The hardware in this system is very good, and a candidate for different operating systems to run on it (look up compatibility for your variant, to be sure). Dual radio support seems to work fine. For the hardware, it deserves 5 stars. Once I finally got it installed, I get wireless attachment at 300Mb/s (you need to look up some windows tricks on this, by the way), and coverage and throughput is very good (I live in a "concrete and re-bar" building).

Cons: Has the most horrible operating system I've ever seen. As a networking and systems professional, it took a bit of wireshark and a few hours to get this thing onto my network and routing. For the software/firmware in this thing, it warrants me tracking down the developer and slapping them. I've never seen such stupid approaches to a system.

Overall Review: Anticipate random stupidity from the firmware -- e.g. that it'll DHCP fetch it's address over the "internet" port only, and that even slight divergence from the installation instructions wreak havoc. Every save you do is painfully slow. Deleting parameters is nigh-impossible. Possibly the more advanced you are in your skills, the worse this will behave. It wants to be your one and only router to the internet, and takes some fine machinations to get around that. By the time I completed getting it on my network, I hated and pledged never to buy another NetGear again in my life.

Pros: Compact unit, performs well, USB interface surprisingly speedy - great flexible use, excellent construction

Cons: Dual-USB cable is a little awkward - probably a proprietary cable (I haven't looked to replace it).

Overall Review: overall - especially for the price - this well constructed unit performs as well as internal drives. I bought it so that I didn't have to have DVD units in all my computers (3). It's been a great buy

Pros: Massive cooling power with low noise levels. While I'm not beating the daylights out of this workstation (yet) - the fans have been much quieter than any others I've had. Full functionality and installed relatively easily.

Cons: I wish their documentation was a little more thorough. Initially on reading the package I thought I'd mis-ordered for my "build your own". I got online to do the RMA - but fortunately looked at the questions area and noticed that the LGA1150 *is* supported (though not noted in the document and box). Checking on the vendor site confirmed this - but now I had to go back and take the motherboard out to remove the stock cooler and install this one.

Overall Review: While I've been working with computers for nearly 30 years, this was my first "build your own". More explicit (and bigger font, really) documentation would've been nicer.

Pros: I've had 3 of the WD100xxxx family drives in operation for varying times - from over 4 years, some at 3 years, and recently purchased another for a system I built myself. A good price, reasonably performant - and (of course) vast amounts of space. I keep a close eye on them (pushing 3TB of data!) via the SMART functionality available on my system.

Cons: Though I've had DOAs from ALL disk manufacturers - I've bought about 5 of these - one was DOA and another starting showing issues after a year. Once they're burned in, though, they're workhorses. (Note that these death rates are slightly better than what I've had from some other manufacturers).

Overall Review: These aren't blindingly fast - I use them for standard home directory and media archives. In that role, they perform excellently.

Pros: An incredibly sturdy cable that puts your device manufacturer to shame. Solid, thick, and with great shielding that deals with the electrical noise from the computer system.

Cons: None really -- the reasonable price, and solid workmanship have made me happy.

Overall Review: I'm surprised at the chintzy cables you get with your devices -- after shelling out $300 for iPod, $500 for a samsung phone, then they bundle shabby cables - which wind up leading to heartburn as you deal with the EMI problems.

It's really just a pair of cables I bought -- but their good pricing, quality cables, and prompt delivery will bring me back again.
