Nice drive for the price

Pros: Worked right out of the box. Great price for the size. Hooked up to my Asus Sabertooth x58 motherboard with SATA 6.0 Gb/s support. HD Tune Pro 4.60 benchmark results: Read: Transfer rate: Min: 61.7 MB/s, Max: 143.2 MB/s, Avg.: 107.6 MB/s Access time: 19.8 ms Burst rate: 204.2 MB/s Took about 25 minutes to write 125GB of data to the drive from another HDD. Looked to be about 75-80 MB/s as an average speed.
Cons: Came as a bare drive in a plain white box even though the packaging was supposed to be "retail" according to the description. No SATA cable included. Good thing I had an extra one laying around.
Overall Review: If you're wondering what the CoolSpin means in terms of rpm, according to HD Tune the rotation speed is 5940 RPM.
Long time fan extremely pleased

Pros: Let me start out by saying I've loved the Diablo series since the first one came out back in the 90's. The atmosphere, the dark, gritty environments, the music, the hordes of demons, the character classes... I loved (and still love) all of it. Diablo III is amazing. It's so slick, so smooth, and so enjoyable. Smashing monsters to bits, watching their limbs explode across the screen, what could be better? Finding awesome loot, that's what. Oh, that loot isn't for your class? Sell it on the auction house! Or put it in your shared stash (which is enourmous and shared across all your characters - no more muling) or have your blacksmith break it down into parts and make new gear with those parts. The environments... amazing. What Blizzard lacks in polygons they make up for in animations and sound effects. D3 not require an enthusiast level computer. It looks and sounds amazing on even low end machines. Public matchmaking is outstanding and effortless - jump in and out of games with
Cons: If you're looking to play with your friends, it may be difficult to balance how much you want to play vs. staying the same level as everyone else. It might be best to keep an alternative character to play with your friends, and one to play solo. The servers have been up and down since launch, and yes there has been some lag. All in all, I've still played well over 20 hours in the first 3 days even with those connection problems. Expect these issues to be cleared up entirely within a week or two. Addictiveness. Seriously. If you have an addictive personality, just forget D3 even exists. Go enjoy your Summer outdoors, go to dinner with your loved ones, write a novel, go skydiving. Just don't buy this game because it'll be all you'll be thinking about all day, every day.
Overall Review: I was in the closed beta since around Dec'11. I've followed the development very of D3 very closely since it was announced back in '08. At the time of many of the major announcements, I questioned or flat out didn't agree with a lot of them. But Blizzard ultimately pulled through and made D3 more than I ever hoped for. If you're a fan of action RPG's, hell if you're a fan of FUN video games, give Diablo 3 a chance. If the price is too high, wait a month or so and you'll be able to make a guest account for free - which means you can play each class to the Skeleton King in Act 1 (about 1-2 hours of gameplay per class). Finally, just a word about all the 1 star reviews around the web. This game is online only. That's a fact that has been publicly known since August, 2011, when it was announced. If you bought the game and thought you could play single player offline, sorry but you should have at least read the warnings on the box that "a constant internet connection is required."
Great card - powerful, quiet, affordable

Pros: Powerful - runs Skyrim, Diablo 3 Beta, Dungeon Defenders (unreal engine), Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Team Fortress 2, and other modern games at max settings and 1920x1080 resolution. Quiet - I can't hear it over my stock fan on my Q6600 quad core CPU. Affordable - Can't beat this price/performance ratio. Not huge - Fits in my very small "mid" sized tower. Most other cards would have been too large.
Cons: Mine runs a little hotter than other people in these reviews are saying. Usually around 40C idle and 50-55C after playing a game for awhile. Still, that's way cooler than the dual gtx 465's I have in my main system which run at 55C idle and upwards of 90+C under a full load!
Overall Review: I'm running this card in an older "media" PC - Q6600 intel quad core CPU, micro-ATX no-name motherboard, 4gigs of RAM, 500gb 5200rpm HDD. It's not a great system at all but it really does max out modern games with this video card. You can't go wrong with this card, even in 2012. Just get it already!
Powerful for the right price

Pros: First of all, if you check Toshiba's website, you'll see that this model (L775D-S7222) actually has the HD 6520G integrated graphics, not the 6480. Also, the HDD is 500GB not 640GB. (Unless newegg's version is different? I bought mine from another retailer). Pros: -Powerful. I'm an avid gamer so I bought this laptop as a backup to my desktop (oh, and I guess I bought it for my wife too...). After getting it up and running, I installed Torchlight off Steam to test things out. It ran at 1600x900 with medium settings a v-sync on with no problems. I then installed StarCraft 2, same results! I haven't tried other games yet, but I suspect it'll work pretty well on most games at medium settings (or low on really demanding games). -Lightweight for a 17" laptop. -Screen is gorgeous. -Cool -Quiet -Great price/performance ratio -I've read that Toshiba's are durable, but I guess time will tell.
Cons: Cons are few and far between: -Some Toshiba bloatware, but it's not that bad. -Keyboard is flat and a little awkward. -Speakers aren't the best, but not terrible either. -Trackpad kind of sucks, but you'll probably use a mouse anyway...
Overall Review: I haven't had a chance to really test the battery life yet, but I've read that the Llano series chips from AMD are champs when it comes to endurance. My wife did have the laptop freeze up on her once so far while browsing Facebook, had to do a hard reset. But other than that, no real problems. I'm excited to see how this handles upcoming games (Diablo 3, Skyrim, Guildwars 2). I'm sure it won't max them out, but I'd bet I'll be able to play them on low/medium settings for sure. That's good enough for me at this price range.
Great TV

Pros: - Bright, clean picture - Presets for games, sports, cinema - Lightweight and easy to move - Looks great in my apartment - Price ($500 when I bought it)
Cons: - Speakers aren't great but aren't terrible either - Only 2 HDMI outputs
Overall Review: This was my first HDTV purchase. I researched for a few weeks before I finally settled on this LG. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I've been using it for PC gaming (Starcraft 2, Modern Warfare 2, Team Fortress 2, Final Fantasy XIV, LFD2), web browsing, TV, and movies. Everything just looks awesome. And it was so cheap! Also got here in 2 days. Love the egg.
Great choice

Pros: Huge LCD screen. Pocket sized. Battery life is awesome, only needs to be charged for about an hour and a half when dead. Great picture quality even on "auto" mode. Lots of settings to play around with if you want to.
Cons: Like every other digital camera I've owned, it's hard to take a low-light shot without flash and not get blur. No battery life indicator until it's almost dead (like 5 minutes before it dies).
Overall Review: Best digital camera I've owned and you can't beat the price. With a 1gig memory stick it holds about 600 shots on the standard setting. Video quality is great and it even records sound, something I wasn't expecting. Also, you can attach sound recordings to individual pictures after you take them. Compared to my old camera that ate up AA batteries in like half an hour, this thing is a beast. I've been playing with it for 4 days and I only had to recharge it once. Also, it's pretty stylish, I've gotten a bunch of "wow"s from people already. I love it!
