big mouse pad

Pros: plenty of room to wiggle arround extra carrying case to use for something else. thick
Cons: white border around outside. why? doesn't match anything on my desk, looks like a helicopter landing pad. whats with all the advertising on the pad itself? black with the red pinstripe only would look 10x better. everyone wants to know what "DASHER" is, i say its German DAS HER lame but better than trying to stand up for the 1980's typeface whats with the radius on the upper left? i would have paid the extra 10cents to have the pad be a nice symmetrical square.
Overall Review: its the best mouse pad Ive ever used. i would get another
doubled my ram

Pros: HP ElieteBook 8560w opened the back side, and there were two empty slots available from the factory. so i did some looking, and this is exactly what came in the laptop to begin with(spec wise), and for the price i decided why wait? So i got the sticks, discharged myself, snapped 'em into place, started up, opened the computer properties. it reads 16 gb ram, excellent!, ran the system check bumped my score up 0.2 which means its only 0.2 away from 100%, cant complain. everything runs so much snappier. its nice to try and keep up with a computer rather than the alternative, which requires patience, which i don't have for a machine. so $ well spent indeed. PLUG AND PLAY
Cons: none really, i would like to develop a gps system that's disposable for packages so you can track anything being shipped to within 20 ft.(Mechanical Engineer) more to come investors inquire within
Overall Review: for the price this hardware should come as standard equipment.
FREE

Pros: clicked add to cart, looked twice with confusion, "i didn't want that" i exclaimed. then i see a discount stateing that it is included with ram!?!? i felt like i won the lotto for about 0.135 seconds!
Cons: if you have a complaint, send your free one to me.
Overall Review: score
Love it

Pros: best performance and looks for the money not to mention size is nice and easy on the eyes not too high off the desk looking like some elevated trophy garbage other monitors remind me of. dig the touch menu buttons.
Cons: none, i have had Samsung monitors and TVs for years, never not once have they glitched or had any sputters. even after moving my flat-screen TV across the western united states in the front seat twice still runs like a champ with no signs of aging, i suspect this monitor is of same quality if not better.
Overall Review: i want two, but hp docking station only supports one, didn't feel the need to get the advanced dock, but the more i use it, i realize just how big it is, you can easily have multiple windows running and never have to squint. good stuff.
better than i expected

Pros: nice thick material. feels as if it has somewhat of a decent bump protection, but you better not drop it. it seems like it would be somewhat water proof also, however i would not recommend letting your kids take your laptop for a swim in the sleeve. zippers are red, and feel durable, plus it doesn't have advertising all over the outside, very nice. the second bag that came with it keeps the power cable nice and organized and easy to grab and go, since i use a docking station its just waiting for me to throw it in my back pack. it also has enough room to squeeze a mouse in there. the size is almost where there is no stretch or strain on the zippers, and no baggage left over. hp elite book 8560w
Cons: none
Overall Review: worth the investment to protect my other investment
nice gear

Pros: nice red light that is adjustable long USB connection programmable keys media buttons knurled wrist rest calculator hot key padded rests on base that don't slide around
Cons: cant change back light colors sometimes i forget the programmable keys are on the far left and i will hit caps lock when typing but its user error doesn't have the goofy twist knob like X6
Overall Review: feels durable and looks good, whats not to like, and at a decent price. all the other "gaming" crud looks terrible, i like the programmable keys for solid works mat lab etc, so this is somewhat casual professional, but very useful
