Most Favorable Review

Used for Windows on a Stick

ADATA 16GB S102 Pro Advanced USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 90MB/s (AS102P-16G-RGY)
ADATA 16GB S102 Pro Advanced USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 90MB/s (AS102P-16G-RGY)

Pros: Fast Sturdy Inexpensive

Cons: I occasionally lose the cap in my pocket.

Overall Review: This was a fast device that I have used to install Windows Home Server and Windows Server 2012. It transfers files fast as well but that isn't my primary use. It has worked well and hasn't given me a lick of problems.

Most Critical Review

Does not work with HP 1022

NETGEAR WGPS606 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server 802.11b/g, 4 x RJ-45 USB 1.1
NETGEAR WGPS606 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server 802.11b/g, 4 x RJ-45 USB 1.1

Pros: It works with some printers. They explicitly list about 60 on the NetGear site).

Cons: Printing features do not always work with Multi-function printers. No bi-directional support (my JetDirect had this). Does not support many mainstream home/home office printers, such as the HP 1022n

Gorgeous HD monitors

Dell P2719HE 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 DisplayPort HDMI VGA USB Hub Anti-Glare Flicker-Free UltraThin Bezel LED Backlit Height Adjustable IPS Monitor
Dell P2719HE 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 DisplayPort HDMI VGA USB Hub Anti-Glare Flicker-Free UltraThin Bezel LED Backlit Height Adjustable IPS Monitor

Pros: These are two very large monitors that I connected to the kids' Chromebooks. They work like a champ and, on the weekend, double as monitors so that one of my kids can game in HD. They are beefy and stable.

Cons: USB-C would be nice but it wasn't advertised with this monitor at this price, so I got a USB-C to HDMI converter.

Overall Review: This was a fantastic DELL monitor for the price.

Enjoyable little drive

Pros: This little drive has been absolutely amazing. I have been using it in my laptop for about 7 months and have another, about a year old, that I purchased from a box store for a lot more when I needed it. I replaced that drive with this drive and use that drive for my 2008 Server OS; this is my production W7 OS drive. This drive is fast and quiet. Transfer speeds beat the snot out of the 5400 RPM drive my laptop came with. It hasn't caused any problems, unlike 2 drives that this computer has already had.

Cons: I can barely feel the vibration transferred to the computer by the drive but it is noticeable on a flat surface. The drive runs a bit warm but most drives of this speed and type do run a bit warm.

Overall Review: This is a great drive. NewEgg shipping and processing is great, as always.

Optical Mouse 3000

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate

Pros: * Battery Life on New Series * Snap-in Transmitter on New Series * Size and weight

Cons: * Old series had a low battery life. * Old series had a 2 piece transmitter that didn't always fit and would not last 6 months.

Overall Review: I have owned a few of these mice over the past 2 years. By far the slate mouse with the single piece transmitter has become my favorite. It fits in my hand and in my backpack. It does not feel too small. The battery life on this is great as compared to the old style.

It's just media...

Pros: It worked as advertised. I purchased these in the jewel cases because I like having the case.

Cons: None...they worked..no coasters here.
