Most Critical Review

Lens stuck

Kodak EasyShare Z885 Black 8.1 MP 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Kodak EasyShare Z885 Black 8.1 MP 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Took ~30 excellent snaps. Easy to use. Lots of pixels. Good claims as to zoom and low light and anti-shake. Hope to verify some time soon.

Cons: The lens advanced to full out and stuck when initially turned the camera on. The problem cleared incident to multiple battery changes and was attributed to battery problem. Same problem when wife had photographed the boys and was starting on the girls in her class. So I am in dutch for the bad gift.

Overall Review: I just saw a review with same problem had been posted between my buy and this review. Hope this does not bode as badly as I fear. Also hope my RMA does not get me his camera as my replacement.

fails to deliver on promises

ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 4x4 802.11AC PCIe Adapter
ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 4x4 802.11AC PCIe Adapter

Pros: pretty

Cons: Wireless speeds up to 2100 Mbps is totally untrue, 1300 or more often 867 is the truth.

Overall Review: The adapter I purchased (currently shipping) is based on a Broadcom BCM4366c chipset, the provided firmware is for BCM4365c0, apparently close but not close enough. adapter is in a pcie3.0 slot, 15 unobstructed feet from an ASUS RT-3200ac router. No excuse for poor performance.

DOA

Overall Review: No

Surprise: all 3.5mm stereo jacks are not the same

JBL J88i Premium Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - Black
JBL J88i Premium Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - Black

Pros: They are pretty and were at a good price.

Cons: the cable ends in a 4 conductor trss plug which fits very loosely in the 3 conductor trs sockets of my computers and the digital audio converter I have attached to my hdtv. this bad fit may be the reason for the poor sound quality I am experiencing.

Overall Review: I have ordered a y cable adapter, trss socket to 2 trs plugs, findable at Newegg by searching MUYHSFMM. Installing the adapter will provide a proper fit and microphone capability. Hopefully improved sound as well.

Good looks and good access

Great but need work on shipping control.

Great prices. Good stuff. Fast packing and shipping when they remember. About one in four times they need to be reminded.
