Small and handy
Pros: Does the job, works using USB bus power or AC adapter power. Cord length is sufficient for my needs. USB ports around 3 sides and the top of the hub, going in different directions which separates the devices, which is nice for me since some of my devices are a bit bulky.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Been using for a few months and still working fine, no complaints.
Skip this one
Pros: Can set it to work on any FM frequency. Purchasing through Newegg gives a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Cons: I cannot recommend this item; not worth your time or money. The transmitter is only two feet from my car's FM antenna line-of-sight yet it performs very poorly. Static and hiss, very bad audio quality. Changing FM frequency does not improve performance. The DC power adapter cord functions as part of the transmit antenna. If you choose to disconnect the power cord and instead power the unit with two AAA batteries, the performance degrades much further and it becomes useless. Speaking of, the cord coming out of the DC power adapter is very thin and stiff. It should be sturdy and flexible. Do not expect longevity under real-world conditions. I would explore returning the item but $11.99 is not worth my time + return shipping cost. Instead I will write it off as a learning experience.
Overall Review: White box item, no labeling, no instructions. Might have better transmit performance if you add a stereo extension cable between your audio source and the adapter (not yet tested, not sure it is worth bothering with).
Was almost perfect
Pros: If I was to build my perfect laptop, this would have been it. Incredibly fast and powerful. Superb gaming graphics, clear 4K display (except see below). Nice backlit keyboard.
Cons: Both the upper left and upper right corners of the display screen had very noticeable, excessive backlight bleed-through, extending over a centimeter into the viewing area. It became very annoying, to the point of distraction. Unfortunately, this is the first computer I have ever needed to return. What a shame.
Overall Review: Windows 8 ugh ...
Must-have item for us geeks
Pros: Quick and effective. Power cord has a convenient on/off switch and two integrated plugs to fit both SATA and IDE drives. Rubber protection cases for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives are a handy extra.
Cons: Can't think of any negatives
Overall Review: I am using this right now to prepare a 2.5" SATA HDD for my spare laptop.
Good and quiet
Pros: Quiet, voluminous airflow. No tacky LED or psycho glowing blades. Clean and professional.
Cons: Price = you get what you pay for
Grillin'
Pros: Sturdy wire grill. Simply fits and works perfect. Black > Chrome
Cons: Does not include screws.
