Works Great IF...

Rosewill RNX-G300LX - Wireless WRT54 Wi-Fi Adapter - IEEE 802.11b/g, Up to 54 Mbps Data Rate, PCI Interface with 2 dBi Antenna
Rosewill RNX-G300LX - Wireless WRT54 Wi-Fi Adapter - IEEE 802.11b/g, Up to 54 Mbps Data Rate, PCI Interface with 2 dBi Antenna

Pros: -Works as Advertised -My Customer is happy, so I am happy :-)

Cons: Rosewill should add install sheet for Windows 7 Installs

Overall Review: To prevent Problems with Windows 7 do the Following: -Do NoT USE the Provided Driver CD. (but makes a great beer coaster.) -Instead go to: http://rosewill.com/products/d_1124/productDetail.htm and get latest driver. -Then install drivers first before installing card. -On setup select the "Install driver only" option and not the useless Ralink WLAN Utility. -After software install shutdown then install card and on reboot will then say "Installed RT61 Turbo driver successfully". -I purchased the Rosewill RNX-A5 high gain 5db antenna and got full bars, as well as 2 bars on 4 neighbors networks down the street. -Should have Zero issues if you do all the above. -If all else fails call Rosewill support at 800-575-9885. Good Luck! GeekyGuy

Acer Laptop Aspire AMD Phenom II N970 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Radeon HD 4250 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit AS5552-7474

Pros: -Only Under $400 Quad-Core Lap avialiable at this time. -HDMI with DirectSound, High Definition Audio. -Smudge free textured design. -U.S. Technical support

Cons: -Non-stereo with single left channel Mono speaker only. -Does not utilize the DirectSound High Def Audio. -Keyboard Cursor jumps around when typing unless you disable touchpad with Fn+F7 -No numlock light. -Excessive bloatware with trial apps and offers.

Overall Review: -Do yourself a favor and get the Intel version of this model (AS5733-6650) Which is $40 bucks less and Includes 3DSonic™ stereo speakers, then use the $$ Savings to upgrade to Item#N82E16820233081 8GB of Crucial Ram!

Great Picture and Features!

Samsung - 60" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black
Samsung - 60" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black

Pros: + NewEgg Delivered quickly (under 5 business days) via air freight with great contact and delivery scheduling. + Beautiful design. The bezel and depth of the TV is very thin, and the stand is a lot more secure than I thought it would be. + Excellent picture quality, with deep blacks and the absence of any blurring or picture jitter. + Separate mini connect input box which avoids reaching behind to connect all your inputs. + Native 120Hz refresh rate upscaled to 240Hz fast motion with Voice Interaction from remote. + The 'Baraka' 8K Surround Sound Film was breathtaking! (http://barakathefilm.com/) + Very simply and easy to setup initially (Wife did setup in under 2 hrs to our dish box etc)

Cons: + Remote should be backlit + TV sets low approx 3" So if planning on using a soundbar speaker you may need to use a low profile type like the Samsung or Sony. + On initial setup when downloading updates (can take over an hour) to your setbox there is no progress bar just dots back and forth. + Don't waste your $Money on the 'White Gloves Delivery'(The delivery guy brought the tv into my home and upboxed for any concealed damaged for Free)

Overall Review: + If planning on viewing from your table top the tv stand is 39-1/4" long from end to end. + To disable the 'Fake Soap Opera' look on your tv shows: Menu >> Picture >> Picture Options >> Auto Motion Plus >> Off + Some calibration from 'Picture Mode' may need to be adjusted to your personal taste.

Love It !!! Surface Pro out, Yoga in

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Convertible Ultrabook- Intel Core M 5Y70, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 13.3" QHD+ 3200x1800 Touchscreen, AC Wireless, Windows 8.1 (Silver) 80HE000HUS
Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Convertible Ultrabook- Intel Core M 5Y70, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 13.3" QHD+ 3200x1800 Touchscreen, AC Wireless, Windows 8.1 (Silver) 80HE000HUS

Pros: - Battery lasts and lasts forever. - Light weight and Boots up in under 15 seconds. - Upgraded to a 512 drive and glad I did. - Gave my Surface Pro to my son once I got my Yoga 3 - The Orange is a lame color so sent it back and got the silver.

Cons: - Some reviews have fussed about the location of the power button, but really is no problem. - a standard hdmi would have been nice but just order a mini plug and your good to go.

Overall Review: Another (A) internet seller is offering this same machine and specs right now for $200 less and No Tax! C'mon Newegg get with the program.

NICE STICK!!

ADATA 16GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-16G-RBY)
ADATA 16GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-16G-RBY)

Pros: Most thumb drives have no way to identify them, with the flat yellow color it is very easy to mark with a sharpie which was a plus for me as I put Win7 on one and Win8 on the other and could tell them apart now, also like the fact of no cap to lose or keep up with like other brands

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Got 2 of these for my Windows Installs back on sale during cyber Monday and after over 50 Windows installs have not had one issue, price is good as well, so would have no problem in buying more for the future..

1 stick good and 1 stick bad

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP16GX3M2A1600C11
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP16GX3M2A1600C11

Pros: DOA so None !

Cons: Had to call Asrock for tech support to help with ram non boot issue (which btw Asrock Rocks!! great tech support) and they confimed that 1 stick was good but the other sitick was bad. So corsair gets a score of 50 and needs to do quality control before shipping out.

Overall Review: Should have gone with orginal Gskill which works now and not be cheap and save 20 bucks. Will be sending back today and staying with the GSkill ripjaws!
