Most Favorable Review
GARMIN 4.3" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates
GARMIN 4.3" GPS Navigation w/ Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates

Pros: small, fast satellite acquisition, easy to use and understand. Free lifetime map updates. Good mounts included.

Cons: Wish it also came with a nice little felt case/sleeve or something to put it in when it's off the mount. Spam ads with the traffic feature. Big disappointment and annoying.

Overall Review: This is my second Garmin unit, the first being a well used 5-year old GPSMap 60CSx hand held which is still in use. Was looking for something a bit more road oriented and the reliability of the 60CSx steered me back to Garmin's again. The 1350 fits the bill perfectly. First map update took over an hour to complete, I hope future updates go faster.

Arris SB8200 SURFboard® DOCSIS® 3.1 Cable Modem
Arris SB8200 SURFboard® DOCSIS® 3.1 Cable Modem

Pros: Worked great for the first month.

Cons: Just after the first month it's toast. No longer eligible to be returned or replaced. Of course. Dealing with the manufacturer customer support in another issue all in it's own...Good luck with yours.

Overall Review: Garbage. Going back to my reliable several years old SB6190.

Update Review

Case Logic Black 13.3" Laptop Sleeve Model PLS-13BLACK

Pros: This is an updated review to my review below from 8-08-09. I like this case so much I bought a second one. Virtually no wear after nearly 2-years of constant use.

Cons: It's not dog proof. Keep away from dogs!

Overall Review: No complaints. Has served me well for nearly two-years it was the easy and obvious choice when I needed a new one.

GIGABYTE M6800 GM-M6800 Noble Black 4 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE M6800 GM-M6800 Noble Black 4 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: fast, accurate, cheap. It ends there.

Cons: This is a BIG mouse. I have large hands and this mouse is uncomfortably tall and large for them. Mouse is very light, too light and feels cheap. Two main buttons are hard and long press to activate and there was a 'false' click before the actual click.

Overall Review: Expected better out of a Gigabyte branded product.

Do NOT update the firmware

Linksys WRT320N 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Selectable Dual-Band Wireless Gigabit Router up to 300Mbps

Pros: Worked good while it did.

Cons: Do NOT update the firmware. It WILL fail and Linksys won't do anything about it turning router into an expensive piece of plastic. Thanks for nothing linksys, guess what I'm not ever buying again?

still great

HP Pavilion 12.1" AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 2GB Memory Windows Vista Home Premium NV214UA#ABA
HP Pavilion 12.1" AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 2GB Memory Windows Vista Home Premium NV214UA#ABA

Pros: small, light, easily portable, durable

Cons: no bluetooth. I've added small bluetooth usb dongle to connect to my cellphone and a small bluetooth mouse. Battery life could be better.

Overall Review: Update to my review below from several months ago. I've since upgraded the RAM to 4Gbs and installed Win7 64-bit. This thing is snappy fast. Man Vista was such a slow pig. lol Heat and fan has never been an issue with mine. Guess I'm lucky with it thusfar. It also sits on my lap for hours with now issues. There is a SIM slot behind the battery. Not certain what that is for and haven't been able to do anything with it when I put a SIM card in there. Little to no documentation or information on it.
