HP Mini Desktop EliteDesk 705 G1

Pros: Wonderful little pc. Came with a keyboard and mouse. Has an SSD with windows 10 ready to install. Once you figure out how to activate the code online it was up and running. As for the pc specs overall it was pretty fast and responsive. The Radeon HD graphics is not for gaming, but it's enough for a lower end home entertainment system.
Cons: First one didn't boot [4 beeps/4 red blinks] (one egg off). Got a refund for it and ordered this one. It looked fine until it was running for a bit, then the fan went to full speed and overheated. I took it apart and applied new thermal paste. Works fine after being up for a week straight. It doesn't even have any heat at all coming from the back any more.
Overall Review: Since it says refurbished, I would expect a bit more than blowing the dust off of it. All I ask is: 1) always apply new thermal paste. this pc has been running for years behind a monitor. 2) Boot it up. This one is simple, and saves a return/refund. My opinion: If you are willing to go in there and check this pc as a tech when you get it, it will be worth it. I will still buy more of these when I need them.
Edimax IC-7110W

Pros: You can control the camera from your browser or tablet. Has WiFi, LAN, SD Card. Reasonable Pictures and motion detection.
Cons: A bit hard to setup the first one. After one year, the WiFi died on one of mine. Now one year and 7 months later, that same one completely died.
Overall Review: I just read that it has a two year warranty, so - if things go well I'll do another review on the RMA process.
Vizio 2 Ch Sound Bar

Pros: You can hang it up on the wall. It sounds great when I use it for playing games on the PC. It has a place to plug in a sub woofer. It was a great refurbished price.
Cons: I had a hard time getting it to hang on the wall. I guess I was off by a centimeter. Instead of the spacing paper I should have inked the screw heads and pushed it against the wall.
Overall Review: I already owned a vizio soundbar so I know what to expect to set up and change connection type.
Dell replacement battery

Pros: It says DELL in battery information. It charged up fine. The price is very good.
Cons: I could not see any cons for this battery.
Overall Review: I ran the charge/discharge cycles and it charges up fine. It fit just fine. It sticks out a wee bit in the back of the laptop, but it's not a problem.
Quick charge 3.0

Pros: -When you plug in a quick charge phone (in the green port), the phone gets a special symbol on the charging battery that let's you know it's working. -charges up fast. (I haven't timed it yet though) -the unit seems solid and well made.
Cons: -It didn't come with any charging cables. Remember to pick some up.
Overall Review: I feel better when I can switch a charger off. I unplug this one when it's not in use. The documentation says it has a quiescent current of <0.3mA so you can probably leave it plugged in all the time and it won't hurt it.
Strong Flashlight

Pros: In high mode, it's like daylight. 1000lm is amazing. The beam goes from a large round well lit area to a square that can light up a person from 10-15 houses away. The body and finish are well done.
Cons: I bought 2 of them. On one of them the battery charged fine, but the button didn't work. They e-mailed me an address and I dropped it off at the post office (got a receipt), and a week or so later got a working replacement.
Overall Review: At this time, I only need High/Low on the button, but if I took it camping it would make a great rescue device, though I don't see where you could charge it up in the woods. I priced strong flashlights at the store and you have to pay twice as much for half the power.
RTC CMOS Battery
shipped on time. Packaging was good. installed it in my laptop.
Dell replacement battery
After the intial charge/discharge cycles I noticed that the battery was an original DELL battery when I looked at the system specs. Everything seems to be going fine.
Android H96 Max 4k 4G/64G WiFi Android 8.1
This is one nice box! It will play anything your phone can do. Still waiting on Pluto TV Landscape fix, then it will be fine.
