Most Favorable Review

Everything in a small package

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 1.9" Black 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player
SanDisk Sansa Fuze 1.9" Black 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player

Pros: Plays an assortment of file types, works as either a mass-storage unit or media-transport so any software can load songs. I'm already found out it is also hackable and capable of running http://rockbox.org

Cons: Changing and usb plug isn't standard. Player only charges via usb->sandisk cable and places device in a non-playing state while charging. Might cause issues for others while using it in a car.

Most Critical Review

Bios disables features

Acer Aspire One AO725-0899 Volcano Black AMD Dual-Core Processor C-60 (1.00 GHz) 11.6" 2GB DDR3 Memory 320GB HDD Netbook
Acer Aspire One AO725-0899 Volcano Black AMD Dual-Core Processor C-60 (1.00 GHz) 11.6" 2GB DDR3 Memory 320GB HDD Netbook

Pros: It's fast, light, and runs longer on battery than most netbooks.

Cons: AMD C60 processor has all the features a current desktop chips would. While slower to save battery, it does have many of the features removed from the alternative Atom chips. However Acer has disabled AMD-Virtualization in the BIOS with no means to enable.

Overall Review: It would be a perfect netbook if manufactur's software was better.

Bad Software/Firmware

HighPoint RocketRAID 2680 SGL PCI-Express x4 Low Profile SATA / SAS RAID Controller Card
HighPoint RocketRAID 2680 SGL PCI-Express x4 Low Profile SATA / SAS RAID Controller Card

Pros: Card is fast with many options for ports

Cons: Software is garbage, firmware clashes with onboard devices on two separate motherboards boards. There is no support for recent Linux kernels. The "Open source driver" on their page is just a wrapper for a half dozen binary files.

Extra Geek

Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station
Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station

Pros: More than enough power for ROHS doing everything a soldering iron needs to do. Extras include a magnetic switch hidden behind the faceplate to calibrate, lock, and change C/F. So much geeky over engineering, magnets and hidden switches.

Cons: A bit pricey, iron doesn't swap with welder's other pens, requiring only the PES51. If it only was a bit cheaper I'd give it five stars.

Overall Review: Picture doesn't include the magnet on a stick. Magnets, how do the work, can't explain that.

Junk. It did not connect to my Samsung phone, my brothers LG phone, a HTC, Iogear usb bluetooth adapter, old usb belkin adapter. Nothing. It's just junk. It does show up at ready to pair, however it does not with "1234", "0000", "6789", or any other number tried.
