Mixed feelings

C2G 28845 USB-C Docking Station with 4K HDMI, Ethernet, USB and Power Delivery
C2G 28845 USB-C Docking Station with 4K HDMI, Ethernet, USB and Power Delivery

Pros: Lots of ports, pass through power of USB-C for laptop.

Cons: Could not get video to pass through the hubs USB-C for dual display on laptop as told by Lenovo customer support that this dock would be able to do it.

Overall Review: Was hoping to leave the dock at work with the two monitors only connected via the dock to make it easier to grab the laptop to take home. Have to use the HDMI port on the laptop and the HDMI port on the dock to get dual monitor which made for a more cluttered setup. Unsure if the dock is actually capable of video out on the USB-C as initially told.

Most Critical Review

High hopes squashed.

Pros: Nice size, when working picture is great.

Cons: Problems right out of the box. First issue, if I turn off the monitor and back on, it doesnt receive a signal on the display port. Only way to get it to recognize display port is if I have the monitor on during a reboot. Tired of the displayport problem, I used DVI. DVI looked like garbage, blurry text and icons. According to BenQ support, display port issue is a Nvidia problem. Also one dead pixel middle left of screen out of the box. Only had one day, running current Nvidia drivers, still hoping to resolve display port issue if I can get some decent support from BenQ.

Overall Review: BenQ claims to have a firmware fix for the display port problem, but requires the monitor to be sent in for service. HOWEVER, this was a problem noted many months ago. My monitor has a manufacturer date of June 2015.....why isnt this firmware being installed right off the manufacturer line after the problem was discovered?

Having doubts about this board

ASRock H270M Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel H270 HDMI USB 3.1 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Not sure, too many problems to have confidence with this board.

Cons: Could not post unless only 1 stick of ram was installed in slot B2. Finally got mobo to recognize both sticks of ram after installing in slots B1 and B2. Will not run in dual channel mode (supposed to be in A2/B2 slot or A1/B1). Could not get any output from the onboard video, tried VGA, DVI, and HDMI, no signal no matter what I tried.

Overall Review: This machine was supposed to be a simple upgrade to my office HTPC. All it does is run Win 7 and Media Center so I can watch TV on a small 20" 1080p monitor. I had to install a graphics card to get any video out. Irritated that I cant get it to run the memory in a dual channel configuration

First card unstable, replacement runs great!

Pros: Everything I play runs extremely well with the card. I only play stuff at 1680x1050 (native resolution of my monitor). At that resolution everything gets great framerates at high quality settings.

Cons: Still a bit pricey in my opinion, but higher end card prices are definately trending upwards more these days. Apparently there are various BIOS revisions floating around, first card fan idles at 55%,even after BIOS updates. Replacement card idles at 40%, 30 c. The factory overclock provides very little difference than reference speeds.

Overall Review: First card would crash to a grayish/white screen in BFBC2, game sound was still going, I could here myself throw grenades and shoot, but no picture. RMA'd the card through newegg right at day 30. New card works great so far.

Got what I expected

Pros: Worked fine, used to upgraed a Dell Dimension E521 from 1GB to 2GB. I ran CPU-Z to find out what was running in the machine and what timings the machine used. I found this memory, and it was a match. The first attempt it didnt work, no boot. I simply swapped which slots it was in, and all worked fine with correct voltage and timings as the original memory

Cons: None with the memory itself.

Overall Review: Be sure to try different configurations in the memory slots. Example, try in slots 1 and 2, if that fails try 1 and 3. (Thats what the Dell wanted is the matched pairs in slots 1 and 3, and 2 and 4).

Ordered 2, one was defective

Pros: Newegg price is excellent. The price was about 1/3 of what my cell service wanted for the same headset. Small, easy to setup, easy to use. Clarity of headset was surprisingly good. Overall am very happy and pleased with the headset (my first bluetooth headset).

Cons: One of the two headsets I received had a faulty powerswitch (mic boom). It failed to turn on the headset, If I squeezed the headset it would power up, but when pressure was released, it powered down. Did a google search and it turns out it is a problem several people have had.

Overall Review: Newegg was great on the replacement of the defective headset. Once again, Newegg has some of the best customer service, better service is hard to find.

Painfully slow on shipping

Regret ordering from this reseller. Shipping has taken ridiculously long. Ordered on a Friday, was picked up by carrier the following Thursday. I ordered same item from newegg on wednesday had it by Friday. Still waiting on original order to leave its state of origin after already getting item from newegg.
