2400Mbps WiFi 6 M.2 Key E For Intel AX200 Dual Band Wireless Adapter, AX200NGW Bluetooth 5.2 Wi-Fi Network Card, 2.4G/5Ghz, 802.11ac/ax, Support MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Support Windows 10/11 64Bit For Laptop

Pros: Fast!

Cons: Your Windows 10 machine might not have a driver downloaded for this card yet. Make sure to download a driver ahead of time or you'll be downloading it over your phone like me. This isn't a real con, just a precaution.

Overall Review: thumbs up

Most Critical Review

started eating my photos :(

RiDATA Lightning Series 8GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model RDCF8G-233X-LIGC-D
RiDATA Lightning Series 8GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model RDCF8G-233X-LIGC-D

Pros: cheap and fast?

Cons: My D700 started showing CHA errors with this card. Occasionally it wouldn't show an error but the photo file would end up corrupted anyway.

Overall Review: I'm sticking with more expensive name brand cards henceforth. :/

If you want a cheap keyboard, this is one of them.

MSI Forge GK110 Gaming Keyboard - Membrane Switches, 96% Compact Full-Size, 1.5m USB-A to C (detachable) Cable

Pros: - cheap - looks nice actually - you can type on it

Cons: It takes just a little more force to press the keys than I'd like. If you have any kind of pain associated with typing, get a different keyboard. The RGB lights have no controllable patterns.

Overall Review: If I only had $20 to spend on a keyboard again, I would probably get a $10 basic keyboard instead. I've been looking for a replacement for Rosewill keyboards that they don't make anymore and this isn't it.

it's OK

Team Xtreem 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 (PC5 57600) Desktop Memory Model FFPD532G7200HC34ADC01
Team Xtreem 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 (PC5 57600) Desktop Memory Model FFPD532G7200HC34ADC01

Pros: - pink - is ram

Cons: Unstable with 7200 XMP profile on the Z790 mobo I bought so it's running at 6000 instead.

Overall Review: It's fine but if you want it to run at 7200 make sure it's listed in the motherboard's compatible RAM list.

contact Intel's customer support if your code doesn't work

Intel Holiday Bundle - 2025
Intel Holiday Bundle - 2025

Pros: I got a game!

Cons: The code worked initially but you have to scan your system to prove that you have the physical product installed that's associated with the bundle. Mine hadn't arrived yet. By the time the video card arrived, the code wasn't working. I was able to contact customer support on Intel's offer redeem website and they fixed it so the code worked. It was just a bit of unexpected hassle.

Overall Review: You may find yourself having to send screenshots of your receipt and an error message to customer support but you will get a game in the end.

love it

Lenovo ThinkVision P24q 23.8-inch QHD Monitor
Lenovo ThinkVision P24q 23.8-inch QHD Monitor

Pros: - Beautiful picture. Photos and videos look beautiful and detailed and text is crisp. This is a very nice IPS panel. - imho it's an elegant design, with that IBM / Lenovo slightly square feel to it. I don't know how else to describe it. It's serious but not boring? NOTE: the first photo in the listing is some kind of generic photo and only the subsequent photos are of the actual product. - I know it's not a gaming monitor but if you're not playing competitive multiplayer games at a high level, games look great on this thing too. - It doesn't use much electricity. I measured it and it's no more than about 20W. - The buttons on the front are easy to access, unlike some monitors I've had to use. - The four USB ports and headphone jack are nice. - I think it's a good value for the price.

Cons: - The size is maybe on the lower end for 1440p. For optimal text size, you'll want 125% scaling. It's not a big problem and the alternative is to pay more for a bigger monitor so do what you will. - No DVI input. Just make sure you have the right cables. If you're stuck with only DVI outputs, you can get a DVI to HDMI cable for the same price as an HDMI cable. - I guess if you want a totally bezel-free design, keep looking. You can see the thin border this thing has in the second photo of the listing (again, the first photo is not of the correct product for some daft reason.) - It doesn't toast bread.

Overall Review: It's a good monitor. I'm seriously considering buying a second one.
