Most Favorable Review

Fun, I like, but can have issues

TOSHIBA 15.6" Intel Celeron 1005M 4GB Memory Windows 8 C55T-A5222
TOSHIBA 15.6" Intel Celeron 1005M 4GB Memory Windows 8 C55T-A5222

Pros: Affordable touch screen Very upgradeable Like new Great warranty service from Newegg and refurb company. Refurb guys are sending me a new battery without question. Newegg was willing to pay shipping both ways to exchange for another because of the bad battery Missing drivers installed without a hitch 4GB ram and still a slot available

Cons: Toshiba HDD may be inside 1 of mine had a bad battery Other one had probs with drivers missing after initial setup Wireless and 2 other drivers not installed

Overall Review: Quicker than other laptops in its price range. Touch screen is an awesome gimmick for a laptop, but it's just a gimmick. If the screen were to lay flat and still be touchable like a tablet then it would be a great touch screen laptop, but as it is it's pretty much a gimmick that doesn't need to be there. I have been working as a laptop repair technician for over 3 years now and have learned that Toshibas have the highest HDD failure rate. Make your recovery disks as soon as you get this. I know this and still purchased 2 of these when they were on sale. I will replace the drives when they die. I also keep a few 2.5" HDDs handy. CPU is fast for a Celeron (2000 on Passmark Performance test 8) Older Celerons were lucky if they scored 600. Not sure, but I think the CPU socket can take the 3rd Gen Ivy bridge processor all the way up to i7. All in all, a great deal while on sale. Maybe even at full price if they had a full yr warranty included or were new and not refurbs. I am happy with both of them so far.

More than I expected. Very pleased.

MSI GF Series - 17.3" 144 Hz IPS - Intel Core i7-12700H - GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU - 16 GB DDR4 - 1 TB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Gaming Laptop (Katana GF76 12UGS-285CA )
MSI GF Series - 17.3" 144 Hz IPS - Intel Core i7-12700H - GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU - 16 GB DDR4 - 1 TB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Gaming Laptop (Katana GF76 12UGS-285CA )

Pros: Should run any game, to date, with ease. 17.3" for better visibility. Runs a lot cooler than the i7-11800h with much more performance. The 3070ti is almost double the 3060 in laptops. 144" screen. Has a fan boost, which is required to get the best performance fyi.

Cons: I think it only has 2 ram slots. Only red lit keyboard. GPU isn't upgradable. Only 1080p.

Overall Review: The fan boost is required to get the best performance btw. Before I realized that it was there it didn't impress me at all in the performance scores. I was really looking forward to an RGB keyboard and probably would have went with another brand to get it, but as a gaming laptop for the price I paid on sale it is a beast. It is on par with my gaming rig in performance and beats it on the overall benchmark. I am proud of this machine and I would recommend the same specs to friends and family.

These are an internet saver

TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter(TL-PA4010 KIT)- Plug&Play, Power Saving, Nano Powerline Adapter, Expand Home Network with Stable Connections

Pros: Work great for long range connections

Cons: Does not work when plugged into a UPS and slow speeds when plugged into a surge protector or other electronic outlets.

Overall Review: I love them, but I was hoping to have uninterrupted internet during a power failure. Just have to switch to wifi if that happens.

Works just as described

Dual M.2 to PCIe Adapter, RIITOP M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe Adapter & NGFF (B+M Key) SSD to SATA Controller Expansion Card for 1x NVMe SSD and 1x NGFF (SATA Based) SSD
Dual M.2 to PCIe Adapter, RIITOP M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe Adapter & NGFF (B+M Key) SSD to SATA Controller Expansion Card for 1x NVMe SSD and 1x NGFF (SATA Based) SSD

Pros: Up to 3200MB/s read and write. Give older PC's the chance to shine again GPU performs almost as well in 8x mode as it did in 16x. Well worth the hit.

Cons: Only up to 3200MB/s read and write. My drive has a 3900MB/s read Second slot is sata m2 only. 550MB/s only Puts a GPU in 8x lanes Pci-e My Nvme doesn't show up on Hardware monitor with the temperature.

Overall Review: I would recommend it to anybody who wants an Nvme drive in their PC that doesn't have the slot on-board and has a 4x Pci-e slot available.

Nice to see the details of the sensors while driving

Unilink (TM) Blue Mini ELM327 Supper Mini OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth Car Auto Diagnostic Interface Scanner Tool

Pros: See details of sensors while the vehicle is on. Erase false codes to clear the engine light. Wireless bluetooth. Free app on android as well as pro paid version. Price.

Cons: Sometimes causes a code/engine light. Has issues reconnecting to phone if not disconnected correctly before shutting down the vehicle.

Never received the item

I don't know what went wrong on the sellers end, but the package never left their store for a month. I attempted to contact them 3 or more times and I only got an automated email response each time. I will not be purchasing anything from them again. I am happy to say that after filing a claim on Newegg, they agreed to a full refund. Newegg is forcing me to choose an answer to the second question even though I never received an item. Oh well. I have to pick one and it's not a positive review so NO it is.

Seller is great, shipping service was horrible

All items are as expected, but the shipping company was horrible. UPS doesn't have an office in my area to make the deliveries so it got delayed by 2 weeks over the expected delivery date.
