Most Favorable Review

Good signal

Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Dual Band N600 PCIe adapter, External antenna
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Dual Band N600 PCIe adapter, External antenna

Pros: Easy breezy installation. Strong signal due to the small but powerful external antenna. Has an adapter / bracket for Small Case factor Antenna comes with a double face tape to "glue" it to the desk OR a nice small needle/pin type to push it into drywall and hang it in any position.

Cons: It's not free. Wish it would have 3 antennas but even with 2 works fine.

Overall Review: Great card for wireless desktop network card

Most Critical Review

Slow

Acer Laptop Aspire AMD C-50 3GB Memory 250GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6250 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit AS5253-BZ893
Acer Laptop Aspire AMD C-50 3GB Memory 250GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6250 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit AS5253-BZ893

Pros: Great price + HDMI + big screen

Cons: Keyboard, slow CPU, slow HDD

Overall Review: Don't think you will play games. This is only a browsing/email/word/excel/powe point PC.

It just works

Synology DS214+ Diskless System DiskStation 2-Bay Network Storage
Synology DS214+ Diskless System DiskStation 2-Bay Network Storage

Pros: it's fast Many features. You get 2 camera licenses vs 1 in the previous year Synology boxes.

Cons: pricy but you get constant updates (especially security updates) from Synology. So it's not really a <cons> . You get what you pay for :)

Overall Review: It just works as a backup sinology to another sinology box. I installed it as RAID 1 and there are no problems Edit: 3/23/2017 Link Aggregation works fine with a Zyxel 1900GS-8HP switch (first set up the aggregation on the switch, and then on the Synology box) After 3 years of non-stop usage, the box works without any hitch. I don't think I've ever restarted the box. It restarts only when doing updates from Synology. Rock solid product.

good combo

Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000

Pros: Bluetrack works on thick carpet or countertop and it is awesome. Spill proof keyboard. Nice key feeling and feedback. Not completely silent (both mouse and keyboard -I mean when you click or press keys) but also not noisy either. Wireless works well at 30 feet away from PC (clear path) Batteries last long (I have purchased this model about 2 years ago) If you have any problems , Microsoft customer service is easy to reach and the support is great (also USA based)

Cons: Not iluminated

Overall Review: Great wireless mouse + WIRELESS keyboard.

Ok laptop

DELL Laptop Inspiron Intel Core i5-4200U 6GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4400 15.6" Touch Screen Windows 8 15 (i15RVT-13287BLK)
DELL Laptop Inspiron Intel Core i5-4200U 6GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4400 15.6" Touch Screen Windows 8 15 (i15RVT-13287BLK)

Pros: 4th Gen Cpu, other than that...nothing stands out. DVD-RW is part of the laptop. Touch screen is nice. Touch pad works well Keyboard has decent feedback and works well. Seems well built as there are no bending material spots and the hinges feel solid. Time will tell if it will resist as Dell is advertising. Hdmi works well audio and video. Laptop is cooler that others (not come completely cold) because of the low speed CPU. Nice

Cons: The Webcam is NOT HD and is NOT a wide screen one. Monitor is not great (low resolution). No illuminated keyboard. It is a magnet for skin grease and fingerprints. No spill proof keyboard. 5400 rp

Overall Review: DELL included a nice backup and recovery disk creation utility but if you want the nice backup features you have to pay......buuuuuuuuu Pay attention !!!! When installing Windows 8.1 update make sure first you made your recovery disks and then install all (and I really mean all the updates that can be installed from Windows Update) + update all the drivers to the latest versions possible and only then install the 8.1 update. There are many horror stories on the internet from people that updated to 8.1 and had all kind of issues. Some people installed 8.1 immediately after opening the laptop/desktop and had all kind of errors. I'll follow up with an update in couple of mont

OK case

Fosmon DURA Series Frost Slim-Fit Flexible TPU Case for Nokia Lumia 925 - Black
Fosmon DURA Series Frost Slim-Fit Flexible TPU Case for Nokia Lumia 925 - Black

Pros: Great soft case and it covers well all corners. Very snug fit. The other person that I tall with can hear me very well.

Cons: It covers also the buttons making them very hard to press (you have to press really hard)

Overall Review: Ok case. Would have been great if the buttons would not be so hard to press.
