Excellent device!

Pros: The device comes with an A/C power supply, and is very well packaged. It works just as described, and is very intuitive. We use it to hook up a PS3 and Wii U to our TV. To test it out we turned on both devices and used the remote to switch between the two. This work great. Then we left the input as the PS3 and turned it off. The switch immediately switched the on screen input to the Wii U. Was awesome. We then turned off both devices, and turned on the PS3 it put the PS3 on screen even though it was tuned to the Wii U on the device. I hope this all makes sense. Long story short, I went with this device because of the included A/C power adapter. All the other reviews on other HDMI switches said they didn't work properly without a A/C power adapter. It is worth the extra money to get this included. Also would recommend buying an extra HDMI cable as it does not come with one, and I wasn't smart enough to realize I needed three cables to hook up two devices lol! Awesome product highly recommended.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Buy an extra HDMI cable if you do not have one. I forgot about this and lucky had a friend that had an extra HDMI cable from a recent dish network installation. I got lucky lol and could use my device right away without buying an over priced cable from another retailer.

Do not buy.....

Pros: Very well designed, and everything fits nice.

Cons: You will have a 50 to 100 percent chance this board arrives DOA. I ordered 1, no post, deemed DOA. I set up an RMA, ordered another one. Arrived no post. Called newegg technical support ran bread board test, swapped out power supplies, the hole troubleshoot routine. I even called MSI to see if they could offer any advice and they simply told me to return it and order a new one. These boards are being clearanced for a reason and you'll get what you pay for. The second DOA board was returned and I ordered an ASUS board and Comp posted and booted up just fine. Don't waste you time trying your luck with this board.

Excellent! I love Intel!

Pros: Inexpensive and powerful enough to run the games my children are into these days. I upgraded their boxes from AMD phonomes (spelling?) to this and they are in heaven. Super fast and reliable. I was a long time AMD user however since I made the switch to intel I have been nothing but happy. Highly recommend this CPU.

Cons: none.

Pros: nothing, cheap and work perfectly.

Cons: The ear covers are a little small, so if your child or person you're buying them for doesn't like their ears pressed against this head over long periods of time, then I would go with ones that go around the ear.
