Most Favorable Review

Good solid memory

Kingston ValueRAM 256MB PC 133 Desktop Memory Model KVR133X64C3/256
Kingston ValueRAM 256MB PC 133 Desktop Memory Model KVR133X64C3/256

Pros: Compatibility w. most systems, at a reasonable (for nowadays, anyway) price.

Cons: None that I've found.

Overall Review: Put this in a 4-yr-old Dell w. another 256M of old Kingston RAM, no problems whatsoever. What a difference another extra 256MB of RAM makes w. XP, it's like a new machine...

Most Critical Review

Works great - but definitely NOT rugged

Aluratek Cinepal 8.9" 4GB All-in-one Personal Media Player, Black
Aluratek Cinepal 8.9" 4GB All-in-one Personal Media Player, Black

Pros: Nice looking display, huge screen for the price. Works on most popular video formats except WMV. Can read from either on-board memory or expansion SD card w.o. rebooting. Remote makes navigating menu a breeze. Can configure to boot directly into movie menu, which worked great for my kids. Automatically "remembers" where you left off with each movie file in the directories. Pretty light weight, especially compared to a DVD player of similar screen size. Plastic case looks and feels fairly solid.

Cons: Managed to crack the LCD display after only 4 hours of use, WHILE the player was in its (soft) neoprene case. So now I have a $$$ paperweight. So far, can't find a replacement screen anywhere. Also, can't find a way to open the case, which means its throw-away once the battery won't hold a charge, too. Other small nits are as mentioned in other reviews, but would have been a great value were it not for the fragile screen. If anyone finds out how to repair the LCD, I'd really appreciate a reply!

If you hate losing pricy earbuds, give these a try!

Pros: Very comfortable Stays put Excellent sound quality for the price

Cons: They don't always find their way back home

Overall Review: These are the perfect earbuds for both young and old students, especially those who may not have mastered the art of taking care of their own electronics. My three kids all love these earbuds, and the price makes it a lot less painful to replace them.

Does the job!

Pros: Quality case and components Fresh Win 7 install, no bloatware to speak of Good bang for the buck Probably not intended use, but makes a great streaming video server.

Cons: Looked "used" and cleaned up somewhat, not what I'd call "refurbished". All components appeared to be original. Older video card, DisplayPort outs.

Overall Review: Although all components worked, docking one egg as this appears to be a used workstation as opposed to refurbished.

Excellent value

ADATA Speedy 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model SD 2G
ADATA Speedy 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model SD 2G

Pros: Price, obviously. Plenty fast at 50X for my Canon S2-IS, no lag shooting pics or high-res video.

Cons: None, other than I wish they had a similarly priced 4 GB card.

Overall Review: Earlier I bought a Transcend 80x 2 GB SD card here, and this card seems just as fast. Very happy with both of them, btw.
