Pros: This is the One, game over ! I had to try it based upon the reviews on Newegg, SOOO HappY :) Easy Install. Great Sound. Super Interface. You will be impressed. Guaranteed.

Cons: Are you Kidding ? NONE

Overall Review: Sennheiser HD250 PRO GIGABYTE GA-965P CONROE E6700 2GB CORSAIR XMS2

Pros: These are not the pros you are looking for.

Cons: Support from Hauppauge was horrible i.e. nonexistent and multiple emails ignored. Their support website points to a MythTV wiki page with drivers that are on pages that no longer exist, are experimental i.e. having to go through complex esoteric CLI commands to get the driver(s) to work of which you have to have immense background knowledge, and this is obviously very frustrating. It is unfortunate that companies do not do even the most minuet things to help customers. I am however glad I could return it.

Pros: It has a great battery life and is light & versatile.

Cons: FYI, if you want anything other than ChromeOS on it, you have to practically take the entire Chromebook apart, remove the write protect screw, put the entire thing back together, then flash a custom BIOS on it or risk losing the newly installed operating system due to the battery dying.

Pros: I was very happy that it loaded the driver automatically, worked out of the box with the most recent version of ubuntu, and allowed NIC card bonding for one of my servers that needed another NIC card for redundancy. I think the ubuntu version I'm using on the server currently is Yakkety Yak.

Cons: No cons to speak of.

Pros: Auto configured TV Tuner(s), no screwing around with annoying drivers, software, etc. Just get Mythbuntu, TvHeadEnd (For the moment though there is some reorganizing with this OS and when I tried to test it, the downloads were all offline for extended database maintenance i.e. TvHeadEnd) , etc and SchedulesDirect for scheduling information for DVR recordings. (Make sure to make a huge RAID or get a bunch of portable drives though for the TV recordings that're bulky being that most are HD). Happily surprised, after much research this is the first tv tuner(s) that've worked with Mythbuntu, MythTV, etc.

Cons: Annoyingly as aforementioned most software with the exception being the hdhomerun software for osmc, kodi, etc cannot read the free TV schedule information for some reason. This is the only problem I ran into but, with 25 dollars a year compared to 200 dollars a month i.e. Dish TV and hundreds of channels that'd be paid for and not being watched. Cannot wait to ditch DishTV, cord almost cut, Woo!

Overall Review: Here is the documentation for HDHomeRun for Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HDHomeRun

Pros: The laptop has good hardware for gaming and is the reason why I purchased it.

Cons: Has windows preinstalled and has a locked bootloader of which prevents installation of any other os without great effort. By great effort I mean taking the entire thing apart, pulling the hard drive out, and loading it with linux after erasing windows 8 off the hard drive. The computer also doesn't have a sticker with the product key on the bottom, so without great technical knowledge its pretty hard for a normal person to get their product key without installation.

Overall Review: Not everyone wants to install windows and this is making me less likely to use Newegg.com in the future. Would it seriously be that difficult to put a "Preinstall windows <insert version number here>" button or "Purchase windows with the laptop, this includes product sticker" button on the website. Uh, Newegg? ever thought giving the customer more freedom to choose would result in them purchasing more from your website?
