Does not work with print servers

Konica Minolta magicolor 2400W 5250220-100 Workgroup Up to 20 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color USB Laser Printer
Konica Minolta magicolor 2400W 5250220-100 Workgroup Up to 20 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color USB Laser Printer

Pros: This printer does a fantastic job printing in color and b/w. It's fast and efficient, and not all that hard to install.

Cons: Makes clunky noises when setting up to print. Then, when printing, the noises stop. Big minus: this printer cannot be networked with a print server. I had an Epson Stylus Photo 960 shared, then added this printer. Tried to work out the bugs for hours, even called D-Link. Still, no matter what I did, the printer would always show up as off-line. I'm still waiting for Minolta to get back to me.

Just will not work

AMD 100-714127 HDTV Wonder Remote Control Edition Tuner
AMD 100-714127 HDTV Wonder Remote Control Edition Tuner

Pros: Works splendidly with an ATI graphics card. Good picture, great HDTV quality even with over-the-airways broadcasts. The included antena is a great feature.

Cons: Refuses to work with my NVIDIA chipset video card. I have two computers, and the one with an ATI card has no trouble with this tuner. The one with NVIDIA will not work. The TV screen is just blank.

Overall Review: I should have just bought an ATI All-in-Wonder right off instead of messing around with an add-on tuner card. I really wanted the HDTV that doesn't come with the regular AIW. Next time, I'll read the reviews more carefully. Others have already mentioned incompatibility issues.

Asus never disappoints

ASUS Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 with PCIe Gen4, Dual M.2, HDMI, SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 ATX Motherboard
ASUS Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 with PCIe Gen4, Dual M.2, HDMI, SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 ATX Motherboard

Pros: The BIOS is amazing. Perfect interface, and infinite optionality.

Cons: Default settings for memory are too slow. Or perhaps the motherboard does not pick up that the memory modules require a higher voltage. My Corsair memory did not wake up from standby due to insufficient voltage to the modules. Needed to look it up and raise the voltage manually. I have CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18

Overall Review: This is my 6th mobo from Asus, in 26 years. Used other brands twice, and always came back to Asus. Great support, generally excellent out-of-the-box performance.

Blazing fast!

Pros: Extremely fast, and stays cool under pressure. Comes with an RGB fan! Honestly not something I was looking for, but man is it cool.

Overall Review: Fantastic processor. At this price point, the processing power is astounding, and the power consumption is shockingly low.

Look even better in real life than in the photo

Creative Pebble V2 - Minimalistic 2.0 USB-C Powered Desktop Speakers, 3.5 mm AUX-in, Up to 8W RMS Power for Computers and Laptops, Type-A Adapter Included and Extended Cable (Black)

Pros: Really great style. Photos don't do it justice, but these are really nice-looking speakers. They also sound really good, and despite their relatively low power rating, produce nice, realistic base.

Cons: Would be nice if it were possible to designate which speaker is left and which is right. The main power cable comes out of the right speaker, which also has the volume knob. Since my computer is on the left side of the desk, the audio and power cables have to cross all the way to the left, connect to the computer, and then the left speaker connects to the right. But of course this is an issue with all speakers that connect this way. Like I said - it just would be nice...

Overall Review: Terrific value.

Will never buy a Samsung drive again

SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD154UI 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD154UI 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Energy efficient. Lots of capacity for the buck when it was purchased over 5 years ago.

Cons: Slowwwwwwwwww. This drive slows down my whole computer. Tremendously. Its energy-saving function means the thing shuts down whenever it feels like it. When I open a directory placed on the drive, I can actually hear a "click" when the drive comes on, then wait until it actually pulls the data up. It may take over a minute just for the directory contents to appear.

Overall Review: I'll never buy a Samsung drive again. The low price made me try a brand I didn't know for hard drives, and I was proven that when it comes to computer hardware, brand names do matter. Solid-state drive - sure, Samsung is there, but don't get anything that spins from these guys.

After a month, no delivery, and still no tracking number

A month of nothing. I sent an email asking about my order and got a reply citing COVID-19. Yeah, ok, everyone is dealing with the same issues. Yet I ordered two items in the same order for two different items from Chinese retailers. One came in 2 weeks. This one? This one is still "on the way to DHL". The item was reported to DHL 11 days after purchase (so a tracking number was generated). And now, a month since I placed the order and 20 days after the tracking number was created, DHL still hasn't received the shipment. Again, I'm sympathetic to the plight of companies and individuals impacted by the crisis related to the outbreak. But this is something else.
