fast

Pros: It's fast. Had a lower-end 2.13ghz Core 2 Duo. Went to this and it runs PhotoShop CS3 very fast. Games run great.
Cons: zilch
update to my previous review

Pros: In previous review, I mentioned the night vision not working. Turns out, it does work, but has short range. Objects within about 8 ft will show up. This is good if you use this as a front door camera.
Cons: see previous review for cons
Runs great, nice utilities

Pros: Easy to OC, great GUI utilities, not loud, handles Varient well.
Overall Review: Upgraded from a lower performing MSI card. While the specs seemed only incremental going to this ASUS card, the actual performance eliminated my lag. Very pleased.
Long-term review

Pros: Fast for PhotoShop and LightRoom 4K display is great Lightweight Long battery life Doesn't run hot
Cons: Didn't come with enough RAM, so I had to add 8 more gigs.
Overall Review: Highly recommend. Been using it since July 2018 (it is now April 2019) and it has performed as expected.
A most excellent networking component

Pros: All speed tests I have conducted over the past 25 days have produced consistent results. Dual-band connectivity is superior to the device this router replaced. Up-time hit the 25 day mark. This is wonderful compared to the LinkSys it replaced, which was rebooted at least twice a week.
Cons: The Genie software is sort of user-friendly. Could be better. This device takes up a lot more shelf space than typical routers.
Overall Review: My wife and 3 kids complained frequently about the connectivity issues with their wifi devices and the Cisco LinkSys E3000. Solution was to reboot the router. Obviously the Cisco could not handle the demands of our networked household devices. Based on all the positive reviews, I decided to fork out the big bucks to buy this pricey device. Glad I did. The complaints have stopped. I have yet to reboot the router after setting it up 25 days ago. Obviously, NetGear has mastered the technology to meet the demands of today's connected families. 2017 UPDATE: This router is still going strong. Only have to reboot it about once every 6 months. Solid 5 ghz connectivity to devices upstairs, while router sits downstairs.
Excellent machine

Pros: Been using it for 4 months. When you open up the laptop for the first time, you can tell it is a quality product. Construction is solid. As expected, performance is superb. Clean set-up...no bloatware. Great for astrophotography, photo processing, and video editing. Ideal for night use thanks to illuminated keyboard. Doesn't get hot when sitting on my lap. Touchpad mouse is actually the best I've experienced. Sound quality is extraordinary. I'm used to laptops having a canned sound. Eluktronics managed to deliver high quality sound. Customer service is responsive with actual answers (as opposed to the scripted, intelligence-insulting, irrelevant responses from nontechnical staff employed at other major laptop mfrs).
Cons: Price is higher than competitors. Still less expensive than a similarly equipped MacBook Pro. Windows 10 (wish it was 8).
Overall Review: I usually buy high-end performing laptops with decent reliability ratings. I use them for photo processing, astrophotography, and video editing. In order to operate a telescope mount, imaging camera, guiding camera, robotic focuser, and receive large image files...all simultaneously, a gaming laptop is usually necessary for astrophotography. The red illuminated keyboard makes things so much easier when operating a telescope at night. That's why this laptop is exactly what I needed. When I travel for wildlife photography, I need a screen with good color representation and proper illumination for processing photos. The screen and graphic settings on this laptop are quite good. Overall, I am very pleased and will likely buy another Eluktronics product in 3 years.
Item description says it ships from the United States, but it ships from HK
Order placed on June 29, 2021. Description clearly states item ships from United States. On July 7, shipping update finally occurred and that's when I found out it was shipping from Hong Kong. Item should be USA warranty, but it is marked with foreign language stickers. The product does work, but it took 10 days to arrive.
studio lights order
Ordered a set of Elinchrom studio lights and softboxes from Adorama via NewEgg so I could take advantage of NewEgg's 12 months no interest offer. Adorama shipped promptly and the lights arrived just fine.
Item never shipped
Placed order for gun scope part on 12/6/2013. The item was marked "shipped" the next day, but no tracking number was supplied, which leads me to believe it never really shipped. It is now 1/3/2014 and item has never arrived. I emailed the seller on 12/30/2013 to inquire about the item and tracking number. No response. I initiated a claim with NewEgg.
