Excellent value
Pros: Works as it should. No issues whatsoever. Great value for the price. Overall a very good value for the money. Newegg of course was excellent on shipping since it arrived very quickly. Not much to say except that this was a very good purchase. This is a good laptop and I have yet to feel it get hot as with others that I have had. Works seemless.
Cons: None. Great value for the money. Solid performer for everyday use.
Overall Review: I wish it had a webcam and bluetooth built in. Hmm, still a great value for the price.
Pros: I love the fact that this device accepts as many inputs as it does. It accepts an SD card, USB input, a 3.5mm plug, iPod, and bluetooth. That part of this device is awesome! However, my main reason for purchasing this device is the bluetooth function since I want to stream music from my laptop. It took me a while to set it up to work but once I did, it connected fine. The sound is adequate; not great, but reasonable.
Cons: It loses the bluetooth connection quite often, even though my laptop is only seven feet away. It worked fine for a couple hours when I had it playing and no one was around but as soon as people walked between the laptop and the Phillips system, the sound would break up and take a few seconds to return.
Overall Review: Overall, this is a nice device. I purchased a "Mint" speaker that had very good sound and used wireless (not bluetooth) to connect to the laptop and worked great. However, it did not have a radio which I really wanted so I bought this one as well. In comparison, the Mint sound and wireless is better; the wireless range is about the same but the mint does not drop out like the phillips. The mint is standard wireless and not bluetooth. The Phillips provides much more connectivity options but the wireless connectivity is a problem.
Nice scarf
Pros: Looks great at a nice price. A delicate scarf that looks to be of nice quality. Comes in a pretty pink fabric bag.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Not much too say about this scarf because it is exactly as advertised except for that I didn't see that the scarf would arrive in a nice fabric bag. Nice bonus.
nice unit

Overall Review: Overall, this is a nice device. I previously purchased a "Mint" speaker that has very good sound and uses wireless(not bluetooth) to connect to the laptop and it works great. However, it did not have a radio which I really wanted so I bought this one as well. In comparison, the Mint sound and wireless is better; however, the Phillips provides much more connectivity options which is a plus. My main reason for buying this is the fm radio since that it what the "Mint" unit lacks.
So far so good.
Pros: I placed the card in my Garmin 265WT and it recognized the map. It appears to be recognized and working fine.
Cons: Just for fun, I entered the address of my in-laws house in San Luis Potosi, SLP to see if it would provide me directions. The GPS did find the address but would not show me the route. It seem as if the gps routing feature only works for addresses in the US even though it also had the Mexico map in the SD slot. It would find the address but not route the trip.
Overall Review: I will be traveling to Mexico in a week and will use the Mexico map. My hopes are that the gps will work at least as it does in the US. I will add a review based on my experience. At this point, I'm a little disappointed that it can not map directly from my location in Naperville, IL to the address in Mexico. We'll see. I will provide an update once I return.
Works seemless
Pros: Works great on my TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5921 Intel Pentium. I upgraded from 2gb to 4gb. No issues at all, just worked.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Just worked. What else can I say - I didn't speed rate it. The laptop just powered up and worked fine.
