Tek Republic TUH-300 USB 3.0 4 Port Portable Hub
Tek Republic TUH-300 USB 3.0 4 Port Portable Hub

Pros: It works well, if you know what you're doing. Short cord, no tangles.

Cons: Short cord may not suit desktop system.

Overall Review: Read what the Mayor says, he's right.

Half good

4 Rechargeable Long Lasting "AAA" NiMH Batteries with Dual Charger!
4 Rechargeable Long Lasting "AAA" NiMH Batteries with Dual Charger!

Pros: The charger will cook the batteries if not unplugged in time, as per directions. Not automatic. The four batteries might justify the price of the charger, good MAH rating and they seem very good.

Cons: Remember the batteries are each rated 1.2v not 1.5 like regular throw away alkalines. But the MAH is good.

Overall Review: I purchased this from another online "Deal" site. There is no way the listed "regular" price is correct, that is an outright lie. I'm frankly surprised Newegg would say that and be able to sleep at night.

Is Good

Lenovo Desktop PC ThinkCentre M73 (10B6000QUS) Intel Core i7-4770 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4600 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

Pros: i7, (although only 4th generation) built in decent graphics, upgradable memory slots. I still like Windows 7 a lot, and figured out how to get windows update to work again (thanks to forums). Very detailed manuals available from Lenovo website, you just print out your own. Comes with a warrantee for nearly three years, in home!

Cons: Some people would say it's outdated. But I can live with it. All my other stuff is a lot older.

Overall Review: Only comes with a mouse and keyboard.

No Problem, at first

D-Link  DCM-301 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
D-Link DCM-301 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem

Pros: It worked, for a month or so.

Cons: Mine worked fine for about a month and then quit on me. I contacted customer service, and they were very helpful in trying to diagnose the problem. They issued me an RMA number, and now I have to send it back for a replacement on my dime. Maybe I got a lemon. I can't bash D-Link over it, these things can happen. Nothing against newegg or Dlink, but Comcast is telling their customers a big lie that they must upgrade their modems. This DOCSIS 3 modem made no improvement to my internet speed, as Comcast insisted was necessary. Comcast lies to it's customers blatantly.

Overall Review: I've been using a D-Link router for a couple years and have had no problems with that. It worked quite well with the modem, before the modem died. I had been using a Motorola modem I bought here 4 or 5 years ago. It still worked fine and the new one made very little difference. Comcast kept sending me emails, letters, and texts telling me I HAD to upgrade. Comcast sucks. While I am waiting for the D-Link DCM-301 replacement I hooked the old Motorola back up for now.

Happy

Canon LBP6200d Monochrome Laser Printer
Canon LBP6200d Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: It duplexes without needing assistance and it prints fast and not too loudly. Holds a lot more paper then my previous Canon inkjet all-in-one. I can still use the old one for scanning.

Cons: I did not have any problems with it.

Overall Review: I bought this last December 2nd for $39.99 and finally hooked it up today. (7/3/15) I really took a chance there, but it works just fine. In the interim I had purchased a full Canon toner via another online office supply store with a coupon and substantial discount. I expect it to be much more cost efficient then the ink jet refills.
