Most Favorable Review

Just to clarify...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 - Athlon 64 X2 Kuma Dual-Core 2.7 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W black edition Processor - AD775ZWCGHBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 - Athlon 64 X2 Kuma Dual-Core 2.7 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W black edition Processor - AD775ZWCGHBOX

Pros: This is actually a Phenom unlocked with 2 cores disabled, very fast, stays cool in the right case. Overclocks very well. Plays games without a hitch.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I commented once before when I just got this chip. Right out the box you can overclock on the stock cooler. Yes it is true. In fact, after I "burned-in" the cpu.... I in fact got lower temperatures and had a lower vcore than stock on my board. at 2.7 ghz vcore 1.435 30C idle, 46C on load after burn-in 3.0 ghz vcore 1.360~1.375 20C idle, 39C on load all on the stock cooler. In addition I have 2 3.5 sata HDDs and DVD+RW drive. The case has one 120mm case fan and 600W PSU all running very stable. Got a few errors only because I just pulled my HDD out of my old dell and right into this without reinstalling windows no problemo. If you are an AMD fan and need the right CPU for the job look no further.

Most Critical Review

it was great until...

MSI Wind U120-024US Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.0" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook
MSI Wind U120-024US Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.0" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Small, light, quick, full of great features. I love the power of the processor, the 1GB of RAM is more than enough for XP or Ubuntu. 160GB HDD is more than adequate as internal storage.

Cons: the fan is way way too noisy, sounds defective. because of this it cannot get more than 3 eggs. if not for the fan noise, it would be perfect!

Overall Review: All i'd like is for either newegg or MSI to send me a replacement fan or at least a recommendation of a suitable replacement fan because that loud fan noise is unbearable. The wind is a great computer apart from that. Sorry I can't give higher than 3 eggs until the situation has been resolved. It really is a waste to RMA just because of a noisy fan which im almost certain will occur in the replacement model as well.

Tablet is a good deal

KOCASO M1070 10.1" IPS Capacitive Screen Tablet PC - Android 4.1, 16GB, 1.4GHz, Built-in Microphone, Bluetooth, & Dual Camera -  Silver
KOCASO M1070 10.1" IPS Capacitive Screen Tablet PC - Android 4.1, 16GB, 1.4GHz, Built-in Microphone, Bluetooth, & Dual Camera - Silver

Pros: The product seems fast, decent resolution, responsive, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, better features than rivals in it's price range.

Cons: Screen died within 5 days after operation. RMA-ed for a full refund. Customer service was helpful, I wasn't given the run around and their people were very helpful and responsive.

Overall Review: It's indeed a pitty I had to return it. It is well worth the price of $189. But components die on any hardware. They just need better QA testing and perhaps a better manufacturer for the LCD. It would have gotten 5 stars otherwise.

A Tablet worth $199, really!

BungBungame (MI100) 10.1" Tablet PC - 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3, 1GB DDR2 Memory, 16GB - White
BungBungame (MI100) 10.1" Tablet PC - 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3, 1GB DDR2 Memory, 16GB - White

Pros: Comes with the latest Android Jelly Bean OS (4.1) with option to upgrade. Fast, Bluetooth, 1 GB DDR2 RAM. NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. Impressive performance.

Cons: Battery life, delicate tablet. (Just doesn't look like it can survive a drop without serious damage. Camera and Screen quality could be better.

Overall Review: With the cons it doesn't hurt this tablet in a very negative way. One could get a lot less for the money!!

better left to the experts

Pyle PLTB8 8" 400 Watts Carpeted Subwoofer Tube Enclosure System
Pyle PLTB8 8" 400 Watts Carpeted Subwoofer Tube Enclosure System

Pros: None, maybe the tube.....maybe

Cons: hmmm, lets start with the poor construction. Compressed wood means if you have to change the screw holes for any reason, the whole structure can fall apart. Second lets talk about the best part. The most poorly constructed speaker you can find on the market. I must say, I have used cheap speakers of many brands, I must tell you this...SSL a speaker brand made in china (clearly marked on the box rated at 250Watts) outperforms this pyle subwoofer ( rated at 400W in every way shape or form) I bought 2 of these boxes, mainly for the tube design. When the arrived, both speakers came unscrewed from the box. After repairing one the the boxes and returning the second one. I one I kept died within a half hour. I first speaker blew being connected to a Pioneer 2-channel amp. running 190W RMS 350Watts MAX per channel. This all enhancements turned down to zero and EQ at -6, but yet it still blew at volume 45. Pathetic!!!!! speaker system.

Overall Review: Look you are better off going with any other brand but PYLE unless you love testing how cheaply constructed a speaker can get.

love everything about it

Sylvania 32" 720p LCD HDTV
Sylvania 32" 720p LCD HDTV

Pros: Light-weight, good-quality picture, stylish.

Cons: Recertified....not really a con since I knew this. no 1080p

Overall Review: The first thing I noticed about the television is that it is extremely light-weight for a 32" LCD. My brother has a toshiba regza, and it weighs a ton compared to this tv. Right out the box I set it up as a computer monitor via HDMI. It works beautifully. Thanks newegg, never let me down!
