Pros: The 8 ports are very useful considering I live in a relatively small apartment and my smart tv, Apple TV, smart blu-ray player, WD MyCloud, and Steam Link, Xbox One, and PS4 all have ethernet, and wired is always better than wireless. I really like the customizability of the network. Having 2 USB ports is beneficial. The 4 antennae provide for excellent coverage. The processor allows for great throughput.

Cons: Something I've noticed a lot of routers with multiple USB ports incorporate is one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port. This is, in and of itself, somewhat annoying, but to add insult to injury, the location of the USB 3.0 port (on the front of the router, behind a removable panel-like thing) is not ideal.

Overall Review: I have recommended this, and will continue to do so, to my friends and family. It is actually, to me, aesthetically pleasing. To others, like my wife, who want to live in "Pottery Barn"-like homes, I can definitely see how it might clash with the decor; it is quite large (we have it on top of an armoire next to our tv, so you can't really see it unless you're looking for it). I purchased this router specifically because of the 8 ethernet ports and the glowing review from D.ong Ngo of CNET.

Pros: Relatively easy to set up.

Cons: Terrible throughput. We have 50Mb/s down through TWC and use the Motorola SB6141 modem so the internet connection is fairly consistent. When I attempt to use WD MyCloud (connected directly to the router via ethernet) to do a TimeMachine back up of my MBP, Netflix becomes SUPER grainy. Even when these are the only devices actively using the network. I am extremely disappointed. I had the EA6500 for a few weeks before deciding to step up to the EA6700. Then the EA6900 came out but had horrible initial reviews, pending an update to the firmware. So.... I suppose I am out of the ~200USD. Thanks Cisco/Linksys. Hopefully under Belkin's supervision/control, Linksys will cease making half-baked products.

Pros: AOC is an excellent brand in general. The display is sharp and the contrast is alright. The color accuracy is appropriate for the price. The inclusion of DVI is a plus. The included VGA/D-Sub cable is nice. Quick response time.

Cons: It would have been nice to have included a DVI cable. The display looks washed out unless you turn the brightness way down, and even then, it is still not the best color accuracy (but what can you expect at this price point/from a non-IPS monitor?).

Overall Review: For everyday, standard use, this is a great monitor. For gaming or graphics design or even simple media viewing (Netflix, etc.), this is not a great monitor - but I would expect someone wanting to use a monitor for said purposes would be willing to spend more. We bought 5 for several The UPS Store locations. It is far and away significantly better than the 4:3 aspect ratio, 19 inch LCD it replaced.

Pros: Faster than hdd.

Cons: This particular unit seems to be cursed - OCZ has offered to replace my Vertex 2 with an Agility 3, with which I have used before and have, thus far, not had problems.

Overall Review: OCZ gets a bad rap sometimes - I have had one successful RMA and one rejected rebate. Depending on the results of this RMA is my continued business with them.

Pros: Better than freeware - but, as with all antivirus, slows down the computer somewhat.

Cons: As far as rebates and McAfee, they are on the slower side of getting them out to the consumer. However, I did eventually get it (Purchased in 2012 with rebate making total cost 0USD).

Pros: I purchased two of these cables to connect my new Retina MBP to two HDMI Asus monitors. The cables work perfectly with the Thunderbolt outputs, INCLUDING sound. The quality of the picture was just as good as the dual link DVI connection from my Alienware desktop (after I turned mirroring off, as this interfered with the retina display, set at 1440x900, and the monitor is 1080p).

Cons: None so far; although it seemed like there was some sort of sticky residue on the HDMI output on one of the cables when I removed the cap.

Overall Review: I recommend these cables highly. I have only had them for a few days, but they have worked splendidly and are an excellent alternative to purchasing name brand thunderbolt/mini displayport to HDMI adapters and then purchasing HDMI cables.
