Pros: I can't tell the difference between a 40w CFL or this LED 40W as far as Lumen goes. I like the soft white were the CFL has more of a yellow light. Also I have this in a desk lap above my computer and it's a little worm to the touch. My CFL is hot to the touch. I wanted to try and see if the bulb is dimable like they say. But I don't have a dimable lamp in our home. But what is a great value is the life of the LED. It does state that it will last for 22.6 years when used 3 hours a day. See Cons below.

Cons: The heading listed for this bulb states it Energy Star rated. If so why isn't the box it came in labeled Energy Star? It does state that it will last for 22.6 years when used 3 hours a day. Living in Minn. I would have to cut that in half. In late fall to mid winter to early spring there is a good chance the bulb would be on for 6-8 hours a day. Which would drive the price of use upwards. Then you get to the price per bulb. At it's current price I could only buy one or two a month. Were the CFL's are half of the price.

Overall Review: This was taken from a article from the govt. date 9-9-2012 Government Study Finds LED Light Bulbs Better for Environment Than CFLs. One feature of LED bulbs that outscores CFLs is longevity. CFLs typically last up to ten years while many LED bulbs are advertised as being able to last a lifetime. Such claims have not yet been verified, but the researchers have found no evidence to indicate the bulbs won't last a hundred years or more provided they are housed in low humidity areas. To come to their conclusions the government research teams looked at hundreds of both LED and LCD bulbs that are commercially available and sold in enough quantity to warrant shelf space at major sellers. They tested bulbs of all available wattages and requested specs from manufacturers detailing how the bulbs were made and what ingredients were used. As part of their testing the researchers also looked at the history of the bulbs and found that their efficiency has increased dramatically in just the past few years and that virtually all bulb makers expect that trend to continue, resulting in bulbs that use so little electricity that their use will cease to be a financial concern for virtually all Americans. Again it comes to the cost per bulb. I did have a few CFL's burn out that were around 6-7 years old. Also I wonder how these would work in a cold garage during the winter. A CFL takes forever to warm up if it does at all, when it's real cold.

Pros: Came at a good price and seemed to be well made. A lot of room for credit cards.

Cons: At or around using it for a year it started to fall apart on me. I went back to my old wallet which is also leather and around 5 years old

Overall Review: If I remember right I paid around $10 a little over a year ago from Newegg. Thinking about the wallet I guess for $10 and a years use it's not a bad buy. That's why I gave it 3 egg's.

Pros: Works great when not used with another same SSD on for backup.

Cons: RMA the SSD. I ran a check of the MB and cables and they check out OK. I have the current updates to the SSD's.

Overall Review: For some reason when both SSD's are on (both 500Gb) one of the drives drops back to reading of 6mb's. I use the 2nd SSD for a back up of my C: drive. The SSD was RMA's to Samsung and received at their dock about 2 weeks ago. I am still waiting to hear back that a replacement was shipped. I sent two emails to Samsung's customer service and no reply as of today 12-26-15. The funny part is I have two Samsung 250 SSD's and they work great even when both are powered on. Would I buy another Samsung 500Gb SSD? No.

Pros: It's a WD HDD. Bought on sale for $109.99

Cons: Maybe Price?

Overall Review: I have used nothing but WD HDD's for more years then I want to remember. Over these years I may have used a RMS 2 times. This covers everything from a WD 1T VR to other smaller HDD's. I just bought two WD HDD's 2T's to replace a driver that the warranty expired in 2012 and is still usable. The other one had it's warranty expire in 2014, also still usable. Because of there quality I would have no problem using a WD HDD for my OS drive. The best part is a 5 year warranty.

Pros: No coasters after recording to over 100 disc.

Cons: Hard to open wrapping.

Overall Review: I just finished a job for a friend of mine. She needed 103 copies of a show she put on. My duplicator is a 1-3 copier and it was setup to do a copy and compare. Not one coaster out of the 103 disc used. To be honest with you, over the years that I have used Verbatim I can't remember the last time I had a coaster. Well worth the $..

Pros: I have bought several 4-pk's over the last few years for all of my photo needs and they hold up well.

Cons: none

Overall Review: These batterys hold there charge for some time. I use them for my hot shoe flash and other items around the home. What is outstanding is the fact that I can let my flash set for a few months and then power it up with around 60% battery life left. Other types that I have used would have been dead. Newegg does put these on sale now and then. That's when to buy.

It works like it should. Not much else to say about the reader.
