Most Critical Review

Average router died

ASUS RT-N16 802.11b/g/n Gigabit Wireless Router up to 300 Mbps DD-WRT Open Source support with USB Storage, Printer and Media Server
ASUS RT-N16 802.11b/g/n Gigabit Wireless Router up to 300 Mbps DD-WRT Open Source support with USB Storage, Printer and Media Server

Pros: Ordinary router works ok.

Cons: Died 2.5 years from purchase, and it was only operated for 1.5 years, the other year it sat in a box. Replacing the capacitor actually didn't fix this one.

Extremely slow with iPad air

D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: Cheap, good reviews on Newegg

Cons: Very slow with iPad Air 1st generation - can't download at higher than 2mbps. Replaced iPad with Apple, upgraded router firmware, tried every setting in the router configuration, researched issue on google: no luck :( I need another router now to get online with my iPad.

Stick failed after 6 weeks

G.SKILL Standard Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ
G.SKILL Standard Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ

Pros: None

Cons: One of the sticks failed after 6 weeks, pursuing RMA with g.skill now, will update if they make an easy RMA.

Mine was faulty

Crucial 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CT51264BC1339
Crucial 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CT51264BC1339

Pros: none

Cons: My ThinkPad detected the RAM, but it caused all sorts of instability. I couldn't even load any of several live CD's in order to test it.

Overall Review: I got mine directly from Crucial, so I can get a refund and buy some different RAM here on newegg.

a good choice

SAMSUNG ToC T240HD Rose-Black 24" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor  300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1 Built in DTV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Speakers
SAMSUNG ToC T240HD Rose-Black 24" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1 Built in DTV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Speakers

Pros: inexpensive, tv tuner built-in, hdmi, no bad pixels, solid base, includes dvi & vga cables and remote control.

Cons: doesn't standby, glossy finish, no hdmi cable.

Overall Review: i feel like i should take off an egg for the flawed power management, but i am just so thrill to have a nice monitor for $300 that i won't. the fact that it doubles as an hdtv seals the deal.
