Pros: Easy intallation; PCI Express interface; Optical input/output; Crystal clear sound on music/movies/games; user friendly GUI and Vista complatible drivers; Good bass management and all the features Creative Labs is known for

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I thought I was happy with my onboard sound until it started to produce random crackles and pops during gameplay which prompted me to shop for a dedicated sound card. I havent bought a sound card since the SB Live days so I wasnt sure what to expect. Also, this is my first PCI Express card so needless to say I'm a bit skeptical about this purchase. I'm glad that things turned out great and I can now truly enjoy my 5.1 Speaker systen. I higly recommend this sound card to anyone with PCI Express slot looking to improve their PC Audio.

Pros: SSD/HDD hi-brid: 4 Fast boot and app access although not at par with what's advertised. More like 7-10 sec boot time and about 4 from sleep. Not a complain by any means, just callng out the advertisement. Happy the way it is Track Pad: 4 Very responsive. Sometimes too senstive. Gestures work well. Maybe a personal preference but, would prefer pad to be a bit further to the right to be ergonamically correct for me Form factor: 4 Aluminum casing is a nice touch. Light, slim and sexy although the lid is quite a finger print magnet Processor: 5 Very snappy. Never lags and handles everything I use the laptop for with ease

Cons: Keyboard: 2 Maybe even a 2. Layout is not very comfortable. Dont see myself typing a complete report or project on this. Keys are a bit too close to each other and tactile feedback is mediocre. Number keypad for me is useless. Still hitting the wrong key after a month of use. Pretty solid indication that the KB layout could be improved. Would love to have been able to select Function priority defaults for the Fn keys such as a one key press for volume rather than pressing Fn + F5 or F6 as an example Display: 3 15.6 is perfect for me but LCD could be better. Lower quality than I was expecting. Display qaulity too washed out for my taste. Had to adjust color, contrast, bightness etc to get it to an uncceptable level. Dont have anything to compare but touch screen seems to be very responsive and precise Windows 8.1: 3 Cant fully appreciate the Touch feature. Would rather use track pad and/or external mouse to navigate. Also tablet operation on a laptop isnt very intuitive. Still prefer the traditional Windows we all grew up with Memory: 3 Upgraded to 8GB right off the bat Wi-fi: 3 Standard. No performance gain compared to a 4 yr old laptop it replaced Battery life: 3 4-5 hours on 40% brightness with normal computing and entertainment. Charging time from depleated state to full is about +2 hours

Overall Review: Purposely waited a while to post a review to give it a fair assessment of the product. Have had the ultrabook for over 2 months with regular daily usage. Above are my rating (1-5) for each relevant componenet and thoughts. Note: 1-3 rating in Cons and 4-5 rating as Pros I've had a couple of instances when both virtual and physical keyboards wasnt responsive after waking up from sleep. Had to restart for it to work again. Havent been able to replicate it and not really sure what caused it. Descent Core I7 laptop for the price

Pros: • Good build and finish with aluminum hood • Big HDD for a laptop and PLENTY of memory • Dual Processing speed - comparable to Core 2 Duo on normal load • Perfect screen size, brightness and resolution • Dolby sound - great surround simulation in a quiet room • Excellent battery life - could easily be extended with minor system tweaks • Light and extremely portable • On/Off button for trackpad when using a mouse • 64bit Win 7 OS • Good keyboard layout • Bloatware is not any worse than other brands. Infact they're less than usual • Newegg's competitive pricing and free shipping keep me coming back for my electronic purchases. Free 3 days shipping is amazing! Thanks Newegg!

Cons: • Unusual navigation buttons (recessed making it a bit more difficult to press) • Sound could use a little more boost • Mediocre GFX card • Recovery disc creation keeps throwing an error. Requesting Acer to send discs instead

Overall Review: This is for my daughter who will be a college freshman next year and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This is much more than a Netbook as some people might compare it to. It's really a laptop with out a DVD drive which helps cut down on size, weight and cost. I have an external DVD drive so this is not an issue for me. I love the fact that I don’t have to upgrade anything anymore with this laptop. I stacked this up against Tosh, HP, Dell and even with another Acer Costco carried before purchasing but Newegg's package came out to be the best deal. With $100 rebate is a great but it's still a good deal even without it considering what you're getting. Wish it had illuminated keyboard though:) Other than that, it's a great laptop overall for the price and Acer is a very decent pc manufacturer. I have a year old beat up 10" Acer Netbook and with the amount of use it's had, that thing has not failed ever. Despite the minor cons, I'm still giving it 5 eggs for price and value. Le

Pros: This keyboard is what everyone is raving about so I wont bore you with what's already been written here. The laser etched keys look like buttons on a car dashboard. All the keys are perfectly lit by cool white LEDs and the edges of the letters, numbers and characters are sharp and crisp at any angle. Even the dimmer dims softly and resembles that of a luxury car. This keyboard will make you love typing again. Guaranteed! Logitech and Newegg delivers once again!

Cons: I wish the FN key is the toggle type just like on my Logitech S510. With this KB You need to launch Setpoint everytime you need to switch it back and forth. A USB port would have been a nice addition which I'm sure will be present on the next gen. I'm keeping my rating at 5 Eggs as these are very minor cons when compared to all the pros.

Overall Review: There's a learning curve of about 6 hrs max to be efficient on it. This keyboard draws a lot of attention as it should since it's the center piece of my system

Pros: Vista compatible; Easy Set up; Solid build; Blue light indicator; Universal application; Excellent range; Portable

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this mainly to transfer files from my phone to PC. While it accomplished what I needed it to do, I was pleasantly surprised that I am also able to use my Motorola H700 BT ear piece on Skype. I live in a 3 story house and I have no problems receiving the signal anywhere in the house. I really don't have a lot of BT devices but from the infinite potential of this product, I might slowly start replacing my peripherals with BT compatible devices to alleviate the wire clutter with my PC. Azio is definitely a strong competitor against other name brands that cost 3x more. Excellent product! Highly recommended. As always Newegg rocks! Got it in 3 days as promised including the New Year holiday.

Pros: Plug and play, above average "over-clockability" using ATI Catalyst Software, thin compared to other cards, leaving access to neighboring PCI slots, cool temps @ 50-60 C, smooth play on GRAW2 and HL2 Ep2 @ 1400x900 res on mid/hi settings.

Cons: Color a little flat on a Viewsonic VX2025WM 20" Monitor,

Overall Review: No current need to overclock it further than ATI Overdrive's recommended frequencies @ 628/500 from 479/398 but it can easily be pushed if so desired. Not bad for a $70 card. Installed in: AMD Athlon 64 3500+; 2GB RAM; 350W OEM PSU; MSI MOBO
