Most Favorable Review

Works well

Transcend TS-RDP5K USB 2.0 Card Reader
Transcend TS-RDP5K USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: Makes cards work with my 9-year-old laptop. New HC cards in the card reader on my computer would cause the computer to shut off and reboot. Using this USB card reader gets around that problem.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I had a delivery problem that was not Newegg's fault, but I got cranky with Newegg. The Newegg Customer Service jumped on it and got the problem resolved. Great customer service from Newegg.

Most Critical Review

Does what I needed

Symantec Norton 360
Symantec Norton 360

Pros: I use this on an HP Pavilion zv5000 series AMD Athlon (3 yrs old) running XP. No serious issues, or even complaints, in nearly 7 months of use. I still need to run Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware SE to get rid of all the junk that can be picked up. I'm a little disappointed that Norton 360 doesn't get rid of those or keep the stuff off my computer in the first place. I do have some irritating little error message pop up occasionally when I shut down the computer, but the computer still works ok. Overall, this seems to be ok, but nothing spectacular. I'm not really convinced it was worth what it cost.

Cons: See above.

Overall Review: I'm not sure if I will get another Symantec product or renew this. It seems the quality is not what it used to be, but I've used Symantec for so many years I'm sort of in a rut.

Plays well with original RAM

Crucial 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model CT51264BF1339
Crucial 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model CT51264BF1339

Pros: Worked immediately and is compatible with the installed RAM in my new notebook. I did use the Crucial memory finder to try to find the most compatible RAM. Immediately recognized by the computer and had no issues. Performance ratings are all very good. Of course, this did make a noticeable improvement in program loading speeds. Very satisfied.

Cons: Doesn't install itself, but very easy to install.

Good notebook

HP ProBook 15.6" Intel Core i3-3110M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
HP ProBook 15.6" Intel Core i3-3110M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

Pros: Decent battery life, light weight, numeral keypad Windows 7, sharp screen images, easy access bottom cover makes it a snap to add memory. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Cons: Touchpad is too "touchy" No scroll bar on touchpad

Overall Review: Pretty much what I needed. I stayed with the installed Windows 7 rather than using Windows 8. This is a good basic notebook. It does what I need to do, which is mostly spreadsheets, word processing and web email. Still trying to figure out the touchpad. Sometimes it is overly responsive and sometimes I think I need to hit it with a hammer and sometimes it does things I don't want it to do. I did add 4 gb of ram, so it now has the 8 gb limit.

Perfect

TRENDnet TU-ET100C to Ethernet Adapter 10/20/100/200Mbps USB 1 x RJ45
TRENDnet TU-ET100C to Ethernet Adapter 10/20/100/200Mbps USB 1 x RJ45

Pros: Ethernet adapter on my 6 yr old desktop died. This was perfect for the old machine running XP. Easy installation. No noticeable difference between the connector on the motherboard and this adapter, at least for my web browsing. Highly recommend this product.

Cons: I wasn't paid to buy it.

Overall Review: Good price, good service from Newegg. I ordered this on Sunday and had it on Thursday using the free shipping, and Monday was a holiday. Great job from Newegg!

Will not renew

Symantec Norton 360
Symantec Norton 360

Pros: Got it free with rebate. Protects up to 3 PCs (I think).

Cons: My 3 year old HP laptop takes forever to boot with this piece of garbage installed. Never installed on my older desktop because it has been so bad on the laptop. I have used this for 11 months. It does weird stuff to the computer. Strange intermittent error messages when shutting down. Norton 360 is a real pain to use. I'm looking for a better product, and it doesn't include Norton.

Overall Review: Worst Norton product I've had in 10 years' usage.

Original battery

Bought this to replace an aftermarket battery because the one I purchased was terrible. Battery life on this one is equal to the battery life of the original battery of the laptop. The off-brand battery I originally purchased had only half the battery life of the original. This HP branded battery was on a few dollars more than the aftermarket battery and well worth the few dollars extra.
