Big bang for the Buck

Acer Aspire 15.6" Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit LX.PDR0X.051
Acer Aspire 15.6" Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit LX.PDR0X.051

Pros: Fast, portable gaming. Great looks and an incredible price. Geforce video card puts out very good frame rates in most games. Wireless performance is super! keyboard takes a bit to get use to but the keys are crisp and responsive. Not mushy like most laptops. ports, ports and more ports!

Cons: cover is prone to finger prints. (who cares, am I right?) Gets a little warm sitting on your lap while gaming. The only other con is the lack of a windows 7 upgrade. Although vista is finally a stable, fast addition to the windows family. It only took Microsoft 3yrs to get it that way. If you need the big box (dell) type support, then pay the extra money and buy a dell. Acer's support is average at best.

Overall Review: I actually purchased this computer for my wife to toodle the internet with, but after cleaning out the bloatware and junk I was pretty amazed with the performance. This is the 3rd laptop I've purchased the other 2 being a gateway Fx and a Dell XPS this laptop beats the pants off of both of them and they were 2x-3x the price. As usual Newegg rocked with the shipping. I ordered it on a Friday and its was on my doorstep Monday morning. Bottom line: Some people are nit picking this laptop in the reviews, don't be swayed by them. If your looking for great laptop for back to school, or something to frag your friends in TF2, this laptop delivers.

Most Critical Review

Just when you think bliz cant screw up any worse....

Diablo III PC / Mac Game
Diablo III PC / Mac Game

Pros: Fun to play at lower levels.

Cons: Terrible game design, If you want to progress you have to BUY gear in the real money AH. Blizzard intentionally skews drops so you almost never find anything for your own characters. No randomization of zones or levels. Heavily exploited with bots and trade hackers. Blizzard is notoriously slow fixing problems.

Overall Review: I wanted to love this game.. I loved D2 and played it for many years. I enjoyed it at lower levels but as the game went on it quickly lost its "fun". The entire game is built around forcing you to use the RMAH so that blizzard makes more cash off of micro transactions. Save yourself weeks and months of frustration and skip this steaming pile of you know what.

Nice chair but not without issues. Do NOT USE THE STOCK CASTERS FOR THIS CHAIR!!

E-WIN Flash XL Series FLA Large Size Ergonomic Computer Gaming Chair with Head Pillow
E-WIN Flash XL Series FLA Large Size Ergonomic Computer Gaming Chair with Head Pillow

Pros: Well built, large seat with lots of room. Easy to assemble. Had an issue with ordering. customer service was very good. They communicated well.

Cons: Sits very tall about 3" taller than any office chair I have ever owned.... fine for my 6'3" frame, but its too tall for my wife and kids.. tips very easy when they try to sit in it. I had a serta chair for 7+ years did not tear up my hickory floors... 2 months of these casters have worn all the finish off and stopped rolling.. Do yourself a favor go buy some soft casters from azon for $15 and save yourself a lot of head ache.

Overall Review: originally had vertagear chairs but they were too narrow and dug into my legs (common issue, read the reviews).. this chair has lots of room.

Absolutely great headphones

Pros: Super comfortable even on my giant noggin. Sound quality and mic are both great.

Cons: After 8 months no cons what so ever so far.

Overall Review: MY wife and I have spent hundreds of dollars on Razer and other headsets that just didn't hold up.. these are going strong so far.. Highly recommended.

Waste of time
