Work Well

G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3L 1333 (PC3L 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBECO
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3L 1333 (PC3L 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBECO

Pros: : No memory problems

Cons: :

Overall Review: : I have these in a Gigabyte H55 MB and a i3-530. The Gigabyte MB did not recognize the 1.35V rating nor did it have a manual setting of 1.35V. I set them to 1.3V and in BIOS the "measured" value was ~1.32V. No problems at the 1.3V setting. I've had single files well in excess of 1GB loaded in RAM w/o problems. Color me pleased.

Remington R450 Titanium MicroFlex Men's Shaver w/ Bonus Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer
Remington R450 Titanium MicroFlex Men's Shaver w/ Bonus Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer

Pros: Price Close shave, surprisingly given my other comments. Nose hair trimmer, uses a single AA battery and works too.

Cons: High pitched whine Under-powered Marginal Sideburn Trimmer Low Run Time, last less than a week. Twin button head release: The head release latch is a pain, theirs no spring to pop open the head and pushing both buttons and hooking a fingernail under the head all at the same time is difficult at best. Small and Difficult On/Off button, you actually have to visually search for the on/off button. No charge indicator to indicate charge completed. Feels like sandpaper while shaving, another example of the inferior technology of Remington.

Overall Review: I've been a Norelco user most of the last forty years, I've watched as they progressed from solid functional razors to expensive gimmicky razors. Those expensive gimmicks caused me to try this Remington knockoff of a basic Norelco design. Two things struck me about the R450 from the get-go, 1) the sharp whine of the motor vs the purr I'm accustomed to, and 2) the motor was under-powered, it would noticeably slow when all three cutters were engaged on the side of my face. Then I came home from a backpack with a 3-day growth and the motor literally stopped while shaving under my chin, ouch! So if a close shave at a bargain price is all you need and you can live without an elegant product, go for the R450.

Works, Wireless, Cheap

Pantum P2502W 1200 x 1200 DPI Wireless / USB Monochrome Laser Printer
Pantum P2502W 1200 x 1200 DPI Wireless / USB Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: : - Price is right - Clear Output - Laser, so no dry inkjet cartridges - Small - Wireless Setting up the wireless with the included CD is fairly straight forward. You'll need to install the software with the printer attached via USB at each PC. Then in Printers and Faxes you'll have multiple printers installed, the Series 0000 is your wireless printer.

Cons: : - Bit noisy - Curls the paper, this is more annoying than it would seem

Overall Review: Got this because my color Laserjet refused to print black because one of the color cartridges was low, even though I had it set to print black only. This Pantum was half the cost of one color cartridge.

Like it more each day.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS40 Digital Camera (Black)
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS40 Digital Camera (Black)

Pros: : - Awesome OIS - EVF for most sunny shooting - Zoom Range 24-720mm equivalent - Fast Turn On (~1-sec) - Pocketable (polo chest pocket) - Two Control Rings (Lens & 4-way) - 35mm focal length displayed when control ring set to zoom - Leaf type lens cover - RAW, but I've yet to use - Variable ISO with max setting - Amazing battery life with GPS - GPS On LED - GPS Logging (15 or 60 sec interval) - GPS lock indicator - AVCHD video - Level indicator, surprisingly useful - 4-Level Info display (nothing to more than you want)

Cons: : - Slow Turn Off/Lens retract (~3-sec) - No User sharpness or saturation settings for JPEGs - Slow lens - Panasonic JPEG's are watercolor soft - No maps like previous ZS models - AVCHD past 30-min only at 1280x720 - On/Off button right where you grip to remove from pocket/case - Long lag on zoom set ring, tend to overshoot - Non-standard USB cable for charging (supplied)

Overall Review: Most of my cons were design compromises Panasonic had to make to create this amazing camera, for sure the slow lens. I have a FZ47 which allowed AVCHD at 1920x1080 until the battery was dead (more than 2 hrs), the ZS40 restricts all high end AVCHD to 30-mins. The FZ47 beside being huge had a lens cap, grew to hate both. The control ring function floats depending on mode unless you lock via the menu. This is my first Panasonic travel zoom, from past reviews was expecting horrible GPS battery life, the ZS40 beats any Garmin handheld I've used. Bought two spare batteries, haven't needed either. This complex camera keeps growing on me as I learn its vast feature set.

Kitchen TV

Sigmac 15.3" 720p LED HDTV w/ Hand-Pressing LED Flashlight Included - LE15AB
Sigmac 15.3" 720p LED HDTV w/ Hand-Pressing LED Flashlight Included - LE15AB

Pros: : - 16:9 Format - Price $75 on Shell Shocker - Nice OoB picture - No more HDCP notice from my Dish DVR - Low power: 13 watts - Ample volume - Nice small 12V wall wart - Many useful buttons on the top edge so remote not needed - Flashlight worked

Cons: : - Tinny sound - Wide glossy bezel - Ugly large SIGMAC logo - Imperfect formatting via the Zoom button

Overall Review: Got this to replace my 9" CCFL TV that used twice the power. I kept getting HDCP messages on some channels from my DVR if I had my prime TV on before using the old kitchen TV. It would refuse to display that channel. I have this hooked up from the single HDMI out of my DVR via a powered splitter then a 40' HDMI cable, works. Those two added $30 to the install. Tried a passive splitter first, didn't work. I used the top two 75mm VESA holes and a custom bracket to hang the TV to one of my logs. It weighs so little, my thin steel bracket is more than adequate. The Zoom button on the remote formats the picture to the screen, needed when going from 4:3 to 16:9 content and back, gives imperfect results. Not a great TV but given the price, I'm pleased.

Oooh Sooo Soooft

Alpine Swiss Men’s Leather Gloves Hook-and-Loop fastener Strap Thinsulate Lining Insulated 40 Grain
Alpine Swiss Men’s Leather Gloves Hook-and-Loop fastener Strap Thinsulate Lining Insulated 40 Grain

Pros: : - Soft Leather - Much warmer than non-insulated gloves - Price, perhaps half of comparable gloves - Quality construction, no defects

Cons: : - Bit Tight, slightly undersized

Overall Review: I got the size Large which would normally be a bit loose. These were very snug fitting. So if in doubt, go a size larger.
