MAIWO M.2 NVMe 10 Gbps SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 to NVMe PCI-E M.2 SSD Docking Station, Support UASP for NVMe SSD Size 2230/2242/2260/2280(up to 4TB)
MAIWO M.2 NVMe 10 Gbps SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 to NVMe PCI-E M.2 SSD Docking Station, Support UASP for NVMe SSD Size 2230/2242/2260/2280(up to 4TB)

Pros: -used EaseUS Disk Copy to clone my 256gb SSD to a new 1TB one to upgrade it in my Latitude 7400. worked like a charm. -very fast. took around 30 mins.

Cons: -sticking the SSD in could be tricky, at first i thought it's incompatible. but it works if you play around with it.

Overall Review: not sure why people are reviewing a totally different product here. newegg needs to organize better and seperate them from this one "MAIWO Portable M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure /USB Adapter Reader", which is what I'm reviewing.

GIGABYTE GK-KM6150 Black USB Wired Standard Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse Combo
GIGABYTE GK-KM6150 Black USB Wired Standard Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse Combo

Pros: Cool look and design

Cons: horrible feel, cheap keys, and components, and just feels cheap.

Overall Review: You know one of those old junk keyboards that you used to buy at an unknown computer store for 9.99? The ones that were so ghetto, you just used them for basic needs? Well, this mouse/keyboard combo is 10 times worse than that. It feels so cheap, I have no words to describe how badly this product is. I was really disappointed because I absolutely LOVE the design. I am a sucker for looks, and is why I even bought this combo. The mouse is so bad, that it glides at SUPER SONIC FAST speeds. I went to CP and changed the settings to slowest, and even then it glides across the screen like it just visited 10 various dimensions and came back. It also feels non-responsive when clicking on things. For example, when I click on something I have to hold down the mouse in one place (at least it feels like it) while I click on an item and hold the button down for a few secs. The keys on the keyboard feel CHEAP. It's really, really bad. They feel like within a year some of the keys will be flying off. The ONLY good thing about this product is looks. But even looks can only get you so far. I am disappointed, but can't say everyone would agree with me. I am sure some people find this combo neat and cozy.

Love this thing!

MSI Vigor GK20 US Gaming Backlit RGB Dedicated Hotkeys Anti-Ghosting Water Resistant Gaming Keyboard
MSI Vigor GK20 US Gaming Backlit RGB Dedicated Hotkeys Anti-Ghosting Water Resistant Gaming Keyboard

Pros: - beautiful keys that light up so you could see them in the dark - LOVE the feel of it - it is plastic, but has a soft coating over it so it makes smooth when you touch with fingers - typing feels smooth the way keys click - no clicking/loud sound whatsoever, they feel smooth as the transition of keys of "clicking" is silent - has a Fn (Function) key - I thought it didn't when I ordered it - can change the backlight > OFF, Low, Medium, High, Pulsating

Cons: - no way of changing the colors (can only do it with GK30 and higher) - I even tried using various MSI Apps (there is no App to do this on this keyboard's official page, as it doesn't support this feature. so you can only dl the manual there). MSI Center app doesnt have anything except the Installing of System Diagnosis, which I don't need. Dragon Center app forces me to create an account and login, which I refuse to do. And I even found this article that shows how to change keyboard color with Steel Series app, but the new version doesn't have this option sadly. Maybe you can when you create account + login? hard pass. not really a big deal tbh. Just thought it would be nice. - no Sleep button via the Fn (Function) key. kind of a big deal for me as I used it a lot on my old and cheap keyboard. -not the best Font, so some letters are hard to makeout (B may look like 8). so, if you're someone who actually LOOKS at keys instead of typing without looking, may not be the keyboard for you. it could also be the effect of the light coming from below the keys being brighter than the key letters/numbers themselves. either way, for $30 I can't complain.

Overall Review: The best keyboard I owned so far. It feels more like a $50 product than what it's listed for. And to top it off, I got it on sale. I just got it, so I can't comment how well it does long term. But so far, so good. I don't game anymore, so just wanted a backlight keyboard which lets me see keys in the dark.

Love it!

Gateway FHX2402Lbid Black 24" 1920x1080 2ms Full HD LED BackLight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 1000:1
Gateway FHX2402Lbid Black 24" 1920x1080 2ms Full HD LED BackLight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: The Look - I love the look, and tend to be very picky with monitors. there is lots of ugly HD tvs out there. and this aint one of them. Low power consumption - I could BARELY feel any sort of heat when I put my hand on the back of the monitor. it's amazing. my old LG would be HOT after a few hours of use. This one feels like I jus turned it on. HD - real nice picture quality. Stuck pixel - this is both pro and a con. con because I had it, and pro because I was able to fix it. HERE IS HOW YOU FIX A DEAD/STUCK PIXEL BEFORE RETURNING THE MONITOR! 1) google "What is a dead pixel? (Tech Tips #55)" and watch the video, 2) get a program Dead Pixel Buddy, and follow directions in the video. massage the dead pixel for a few secs 1 mins at a time. 3) at some point it will go on and off, and disappear eventually. HDMI - I love it. can connect to DVD, and use it as a regular tv.

Cons: Lack of speakers - this isnt even a con to me since most monitors have bad speakers. Display light - not really a con either, but here is my beef with it. it is a VERY nice white dot that is hardly noticable when watching movies or using monitor. but when you put the computer to sleep or turn it off, it blinks periodicaly. I wish there was somehow a way to turn that blinking completely off in the display options, but there isnt. Wobbly base - not a big deal at all, unless you have a 5+ earthquake. Price - the price is a little high comparing to what other HD monitors go for. but this is one of those sayings "you get what you pay for".

Overall Review: it takes a really long time to find a good monitor nowadays, especially if you want HD. seems like companies don't put much emphasis on quality like they used to when it comes to screens. Maybe because there is so many of them? I dont know. Great monitor. even cons arent really cons. I love it and am very happy with my order. Thank you Gateway!
