Worked Just Fine in a Dell

Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G
Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G

Pros: Great price for 2 gigs. My mom's dell E521 recognized it right away and helped Vista work like it should. Worked with two sticks of 512(3 gigs total). This was less than 30% of the price Dell wanted for the same memory.

Cons: Nothing yet.

Overall Review: Received it the next day. As always, Newegg Rocks!

What they don't say

Bitdefender Total Security 2026 - 5 Devices/2 Years - Download
Bitdefender Total Security 2026 - 5 Devices/2 Years - Download

Pros: Great product!

Cons: Couldn't use it.

Overall Review: What they don't tell you is, you cannot add additional time to your account if it exceeds 5 years. I thought I would take advantage of the sale, but it exceeded the 5 year limit by a few months. After digging through the Q&A I found the answer. Not a big deal, but wasted the investment.

Just what I needed

Pros: Easy setup; Good coverage; very compact

Cons: Not an 802.11 AC

Overall Review: I needed something to substitute for hotel wi-fi for a 3 month stay. Used this via an Ethernet cable directly into the hotel internet (via their provided Ethernet outlet). Then used this as my private protected wi-fi system within my suite for all of my devices (even a Roku for additional TV). It worked like a champ and will continue to use it on my travels. Much better than unprotected spotty hotel wi-fi.

Not Bad

Pros: With the exception of the hard drive, you get decent hardware for the price.

Cons: Minus 1 egg for the HDD and minus 1 egg for the screen, not to mention Windows 8. HDD: Hard drive is too slow to keep. Screen: Could not get used to the blurriness. Windows 8: Simply doesn't like you doing anything your way. It wants to control everything you do.

Overall Review: I upgraded it with a SSD and it improved immensely. My main fault after the hard drive is the screen. Many others said they liked the screen, but I could not get used to the blurriness. It may be due to the anti-glare coating, but I simply could not get used to it. I ended up giving the laptop to a family member. It upgraded to Windows 8.1 fairly easily, but I found no real advantage, as both are not designed for non-touch use. Bottom line: If you like the screen (and some reviewers do) and you enjoy Microsoft manipulating your life with Win 8, then all you need to do is replace the HDD and you have a decent laptop for the price. I plan on looking for something else.

They Work Great

Pros: Confortable fit. Good sound quality. Surround sound works well.

Cons: Vaporware rebate. It really does not exist. I think they just refuse to honor as standard procedure.

Not As Good As Expected

Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Fairly quiet. Nice design. Very tight fit for the Asus X79 Sabertooth MB and H100 CPU cooler.

Cons: Too much plastic. Door is hard to open and close. You cannot have anything sitting on top of the box while opening/closing the door or it will fall off.

Overall Review: DO NOT BELIEVE THE CORSAIR REBATE CARD! I FOLLOWED THE RULES EXACTLY AND THEY STILL REFUSED TO HONOR THE REBATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE REFUSED A REBATE IN THE LAST MONTH. THEIR PRODUCTS ARE OK, BUT THE REBATE REALLY DOESN'T EXIST.

I purchased too quickly. Could have saved $15 just by going to the sellers website and not through Newegg. Live & learn. Item shipped quickly though.
