Soo Happy!

iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot
iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot

Pros: This thing is pretty awesome. The kids love it, it gets the corners much better than I can, and can get under things like beds and couches.

Cons: Expensive, but worth it. As long as it lasts, I'll be happy with it.

Overall Review: It's kinda like getting your first dish washing machine. Its amazing that everything is getting clean and you are doing less! Free up that time to do something else. Its also pretty amusing to watch it clean. My cat tries to ignore it by not looking at it, but than it just runs into her (gently), so that's always fun.

Most Critical Review

Seems decent, but odd power supply

Lenovo ThinkCentre M78 2111C3U Desktop Computer - AMD A-Series A6-5400B 3.6GHz - Tower - Business Black
Lenovo ThinkCentre M78 2111C3U Desktop Computer - AMD A-Series A6-5400B 3.6GHz - Tower - Business Black

Pros: Decent for what you pay for, as a workstation and playing some basic games its pretty good. Nice Case -> Love the handles on the Lenovo brand, easy to carry! Has easy to access USB ports on the front, Power button easy to push if the tower is on the floor. Quiet -> Doesn't make any noise pretty much.

Cons: The power supply has a proprietary connection! I have never seen the power supply connection type. The main connection has 14 pins and then it uses 1 standard 4 pin connector. Be warned, it may be hard to find a power supply replacement! Especially a cheaper one that's not from the manufacture.

Overall Review: I would probably skip this computer for another with a normal power supply. I'm an IT guy myself, and the 2 most common things I replace are Hard drives and power supplies.

Decent Juicer!

Breville the Juice Fountain Plus Juicer JE98XL
Breville the Juice Fountain Plus Juicer JE98XL

Pros: Nice juicer so far. Its also a juicer of choice for Joe Cross who did the "Fat, Sick and nearly dead" documentary. I was borrowing a Juice man before this one, and it had some annoying aspects that this one seems to have solved. Such as the strainer basket thing that actually juices the stuff is attached a lot better and more securely, so it doesn't vibrate as much when you put a lot of leafy greens in. It also has less sharp corners you have to clean.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Although hard to start, if you can juice for 10 days or more straight (only juice), you feel REALLY good by the 5th day (but really want to chew something). Just be sure to check out the documentary "Fat sick and nearly dead" or at least check out his website (look up Joe Cross reboot). You'll find some decent recipes there. I tried experimenting with fruits and veggies... and some went HORRIBLY wrong! As a general rule, don't mix honey due with other things and be careful when and where you add peppers (green seem to be better then the others). As far as a juicer goes, this one is hard to go wrong with.

Decent Price / Size

Crucial M500 CT480M500SSD1 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) 2.5" 480GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Power loss protection, good price per size for the time ($270), seems to be a popular choice for a reliable SSD.

Cons: None yet. From the reviews I looked at, this is not the fastest SSD out there, but its still plenty fast! You won't regret getting this one over a faster model, as the differences in real world use will be next to none.

Overall Review: I have so far just copied Windows 8.1 from my previous SSD to this one, then resized the partitions to occupy the larger space and installed Ubuntu 14.04 in a dual boot fashion. Been using it on and off for the past week, and its decent for speed and everything seems to just work. I got this one due to the cheaper cost for its size as well as the power failure protection. This brand also seems to have a lot of decent reviews out there. Unless I edit this review later, assume its been good! :)

Works as advertised.

Pros: Works ^_^

Cons: None so far... its a HDMI cable... not much else to say.

Overall Review: What can I say, its a HDMI cable that works. Using it on my ultrabook and it does its job.

Like it so far

ASUS Notebook Intel Core i7-3517U 4GB Memory 256 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 4000 13.3" Windows 8 64-Bit UX31A-DH71-CA

Pros: Fast (SSD) Light Feels strong sleek design 1080p Display ^_^

Cons: SSD in my unit is a SanDisk U100 I don't think you can actually upgrade anything in this system, The SSD is a non-standard mSata (from what I have read) and there is no RAM slot (its soldered onto mainboard).

Overall Review: If you plan on just running windows 8 on this thing, it runs AMAZINGLY FAST. Due to the fast boot in the bios and SSD. However, I like Ubuntu, so I installed that and left Windows 8 on there just in case. Even so, Ubuntu loads in about 5-10 seconds, so not exactly "slow". Ubuntu 13.04 ran well on a fresh install, only a few tweaks just cause (fstab discard / brightness range for display). Wireless signal could be better, but probably due to the aluminium case. All in all not a bad system. For the cost, I wish it had a standard mSata SSD so I could change down the road, especially if it dies (not uncommon). If your looking for a sleek, light, fast and sturdy ultrabook, this one is not a bad choice. If you want to save some money and don't need the 1080p display, then you can do better.

Great Service & Product

I got a few rack and tower servers. The packing is amazing! Lots of protective styrofoam, custom cut to fit the server's, fully wrapped in a plastic protective bag and 0 empty space in the box for things sliding around. AKA Servers came safe and sound, if they had stock issues, they upgraded me no charge. Going to these guys for my used computer needs now!

Sweet deals, good customer service

Got a few used Dell servers. Came as described. Did have to re-seat the RAID card due to shipping movement, but no biggie. The servers were also packed very well.
