Most Favorable Review

Great reading tablet

ASUS Google Nexus 7 FHD (2013) Android Tablet -  2 GB RAM Quad-Core CPU 16 GB Flash (Wi-Fi Only)
ASUS Google Nexus 7 FHD (2013) Android Tablet - 2 GB RAM Quad-Core CPU 16 GB Flash (Wi-Fi Only)

Pros: the screen in amazing the 1920x1200 resolution is twice as good as any 7" tablet on the market atm, i can literally read full web pages, books, comics, etc. without zooming in. Which works out great for me because i can read all my text books in full profile view without zooming in. performance wise it is great as well. it does not lag, stick, or slow down at all while navigating the browser or android interface. it runs games great with little to no performance drops. The battery life is ok, it lasts about 9-10 hours with internet browsing and watching videos, about 3-4 with long gaming The volume is really loud and sounds great

Cons: It cannot play .mkv or .avi, as a matter of fact you cannot even copy them onto the device or it will crash your windows explorer when you try. you can stream them from your desktop with a separate video player though. You would think they would include support for them seeing as the high res screen is the devices major selling point. i was also frustrated with setting wallpapers as well, if you have a picture that is the same as the native resolution of the screen 1920x1200 you will still have to crop the image making the wallpaper 60% zoomed in on the image, so wallpapers will look pixelated unless you get a picture with a resolution way above the screen native. No SD Card slot Power button and volume rockers are hard to press

Overall Review: great tablet for the price, it completely out performs my Nexus 7 (2012)

Most Critical Review

Terrible product

Golden Vocal HF-TX7ST-Red Overhead Stereo Headphones with Microphone
Golden Vocal HF-TX7ST-Red Overhead Stereo Headphones with Microphone

Pros: Came in 4 days, the mic works

Cons: Where to start, i ordered the headphones in red, i was sent black. The fact that these are selling for $80 is a crime, i bought these thinking i was getting a pair of $80 headphones on sale fore $12.99, they are made so cheaply i can't help but believe they are $12.99 with a bogus inflated price to give the impression of a good sale. the sliver pieces on the headphones are plastic not metal, the entire thing is plastic, the cushions on the headphones are made out of a material that is thinner than paper and tears just as easily and cannot be taken of, so not replaceable. if you can look past all that thinking well the sound is what matters you are wrong, the sound on these are terrible, it sounds very muffled and the left ear is louder than the right

Overall Review: This is my first pair of overear headphones and i am very disapointed, i really hope no one buys these for full price. I have never heard of Golden Vocal and now i know why, i would never recommend these to anyone, i wish i could give it a 0 egg rating

very fast flash drive

Patriot Stellar Series 32GB OTG USB 3.0 External Storage For Android Smartphones/ Tablets- PSF32GSTROTG
Patriot Stellar Series 32GB OTG USB 3.0 External Storage For Android Smartphones/ Tablets- PSF32GSTROTG

Pros: very fast, when i copy files off of it i get up to 135mb/s and when i copy files onto it i get up to 64mb/s. It is small and firs on my key ring fine. it has 1mm sticking off the micro usb end so it will fit phones that have cases on them.

Cons: unfortunately the 1mm that sticks off the micro usb makes it wobble if your phone is not in a case, which happens with my nexus 5 and 7. you have to download an app called "Patriot Connect" to make it work on your devices.

Overall Review: it doesn't say anything about the free "Patriot Connect" app on the site or packaging so i bought the Nexus Mod Manager for $3.99 to get it to work. if it wasn't for this i would have given it 5 eggs

great for the price

eForCity 3-piece Set Regular Reusable LCD Screen Protector Film Shield Guard Cover compatible with LG Nexus 5 D820/ D821
eForCity 3-piece Set Regular Reusable LCD Screen Protector Film Shield Guard Cover compatible with LG Nexus 5 D820/ D821

Pros: fits the phone with 1/2 mm on all sides from the phone so a case can also go on without lifting it, it is very clear and once you start using the screen for a day or 2 it gets to be smooth.

Cons: not as smooth as the screen itself and it gets very greasy, and i don't have greasy fingers.

average case

Google Nexus 5 Case  - Ringke FUSION [GRAY][Free HD Film / Drop Protection] Shock Absorption Bumper Premium Hard Case - Eco/DIY Package
Google Nexus 5 Case - Ringke FUSION [GRAY][Free HD Film / Drop Protection] Shock Absorption Bumper Premium Hard Case - Eco/DIY Package

Pros: relatively slim for a protective case, comfortable to hold and the cutouts are sized perfectly. the power button and volume buttons are very tactile and responsive in the case.

Cons: the rim or the case is sharp and scratches my ears, I tried to put up with it for a while but recently i noticed my ears have been irritated, sore and red because of the constant scratching from the sharp edges of the case

Overall Review: i was going to file the entire outer rim of the case to make it smoother but decided to send it in for RMA instead of risking any damage to it

Silent heatsink

Enermax ETS-T40-TB CPU Cooler With T.B.SILENCE PWM Twister Bearing Fan Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1150 and AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+
Enermax ETS-T40-TB CPU Cooler With T.B.SILENCE PWM Twister Bearing Fan Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1150 and AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+

Pros: keeps my FX-8350 silent and cool, when i set my motherboard to silent mode, it make the fan on this heat sink go between 800-1050rpm and i literally cannot hear the fan, on silent mode my pc idles between 30-36 degrees and during load/games it stays between 45-50 degrees. On normal mode or when i turn the fan rpm up it idles between 23-28 degrees and 30-40 degrees on loads. Installing it was easy, i don't know why so many people complained about it in other comments, just read the 1 page installation guide that comes with it.

Cons: it is big, after i installed in into my Corsair 200r case there was only 1cm of space between the case and the heat sink, make sure it will fit your case. during gaming when the fan rpm starts to go up to 1300-1500 rpm you will start to hear it, it won't be extremely loud but the fan noise will be there.

Overall Review: on my Asus M5A99FX motherboard the 4th Ram slot is blocked by the fan on the heat sink, that didn't bother me because i only use 2 sticks of dual channel Ram, but if you do have 4 sticks of ram u can put the fan on the opposite side making it a pull cooler. I tried using it this way for 2 weeks and there was no difference in cooling or noise levels, i also tried using 2 fans, it didn't increase cooling but the noise level did go up a bit. I spent a lot of time on my PC for work and recreation so i did build it to be quiet and this Heat sink achieves that goal. i did try putting a COUGAR Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing fan on the radiator and it did reduce my temperatures a lot by an extra 7-8 degrees but raised the noise level, so if you want to overclock i would say change the fan or look into getting a higher price point cpu heat sink.
