Amazing little music box
Pros: This small black box has a replaceable, chargeable (by usb) battery, that drives two speakers at good volume without distortion. You have inputs for thumb drives, SD cards, or 3.5 stereo plug from any other music device. It is the easiest and most compact music system with good volume you can find esp. at this price. I have now bought 3, 2 for gifts. Comes with a 110 volt usb adaptor to charge it.
Cons: It is very squared off, plain, and black color only. Could have some rounded corners and come in different colors but then it would be more expensive
Overall Review: best thing I have gotten from Newegg for music
netgear router broke in 8 months
Pros: It had wireless and wired ports in one nice looking box, BUT
Cons: it broke down 8 months later. And you cannot call Netgear on the phone unless it is within 3 months. Their site said their own serial no. was invalid. Their products are not built for long use, and their service is nonexistent..
Finally found a front panel usb/card reader that is NOT JUNK
Pros: This unit is perfect for adding usb2 and 3 to your desktop, very good quality of cables and housing, I have previously ordered other makes that are total junk and don't work, with cables too short or not working at all. Some came packed in a box not for that model without instructions (though few instructions are needed to install this type of hardware.) All in all I am glad to have ended a month long search for a very good media panel at excellent price.
Overall Review: I totally recommend this and am thankful just to have found it on Newegg.
bugged software AVG admits
Pros: Seems to be working somewhat
Cons: I bought AVG Ultimate for unlimited pcs, and deeply regret it. Didn't stop a russian popup hacking, had to go to task manager and close firefox manually. AVG tuneup won't install on xp, and won't install on win7. Spent over two hours with AVG Indian division until finally they told me AVG tuneup has a bug that they are still working to correct that prevents AVG tuneup from working.
Overall Review: Do not buy AVG ultimate unless you like spending your time with techies from India.
Poorly soldered, useless
Pros: none because the female socket for power came loose
Cons: this Ugreen device is useless, poorly made, the soldering for the female power socket was defective and there is no way to power it.
Most obvious scam yet, beware
Pros: AVG used to be my favorite antivirus, until new management
Cons: I got my disc and license for AVG 2016 and when I went to put it in a pc that had AVG pro, it wouldn't install. So I was told by AVG to remove previous installation. I put in the disc to install and it said my license no was invalid and I was given a phone no, 844 234 6038 to call for support. He said he needed to assist and I allowed him into my pc via an assist program. He brought up my event viewer in Windows and said all the items had to be removed, it would take hours, and there would be a charge, I said absolutely not. He got his lady supervisor who pointed out three AVG programs I could buy then and there for up to $199, the one she recommended. I hung up the phone. She put my pc in safe mode without me having any say, and I took over while in safe mode, I went to the avg website, downloaded AVG and gave my new license no. that came with the install cd, and voila, I had installed AVG on my own, It took several attempts to boot from my hard drive in normal mode, but I got there. Without several hours of doing something that I didn't have to, and paying $200 to the AVG con artists. The cd that came does nothing but connect you to their site, and in my case, deny the license no. is valid so you have to talk to their "support."
Overall Review: I will never buy AVG products again, and am surprised that AVG would be connected with such dishonest and conniving people.
poorly conceived product
The illumination is so dim, and angle of view so limited (need to be directly above keyboard to see letters) that it is kind of hard to get used to. And without illumination there is no white ink on the keys. Combine that with the zero manual, and the website is only in German, so I cannot figure out how to use the keys for music,internet, etc. much less adjust illumination. A real loser product.
old fashioned batteries
I figured these would be alkaline, my mistake, they are just carbon batteries. If you just say long lasting these days, you assume alkaline. Deceitful company if you ask me
good service, good laser site
Great service, good product.
