Most Favorable Review

Works well - decent software

DIGITNOW Video Capture Converter, Capture Analog Video to Digital for Your Mac or Windows 10 PC, VHS to DVD
DIGITNOW Video Capture Converter, Capture Analog Video to Digital for Your Mac or Windows 10 PC, VHS to DVD

Pros: Software install took just a few minutes. It does video capture and very basic editing. I have windows 10 - no compatibility issues. Video hookup & capture is simple and gets the job done. Video quality is quite good.

Cons: It came with video & audio cables to hook to my old Hi-8 video camera. It did not come with the S-video cable. If you have Hi-8 or S-VHS I would recommend buying a S-video cable too. (male to male) . (it has a female plug for S-video - just missing the cable)

Overall Review: The price is great. It does the job. If you are going to really get into editing the video you probably need additional (better) software. The hardware/software for video capture does the job and that's what you really need this little widget to do. I would recommend this to a friend.

worthless

USB Sync Data Charger Charging Cable for T-Mobile LG Google Nexus 4 E960 4G
USB Sync Data Charger Charging Cable for T-Mobile LG Google Nexus 4 E960 4G

Pros: My reviews are regarding the usage of this cable with an LG Nexus 4. If you only want a data connection between your phone & PC this works.

Cons: Does not charge phone. I left my phone plugged into the charger for hours and the charge percent increased by 2 percent. When I use the stock cable for the same period of time the charge increases by 70 percent. This cable does not have the same number of pins as the stock cable. The stock cable is missing pin 4 - the master / slave indicator. I assume this affects it's charging characteristics.

Overall Review: I've tried other cables. They also have this problem.

Works Well

SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 130MB/s (SDCZ430-016G-G46)
SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 130MB/s (SDCZ430-016G-G46)

Pros: Small size - fits anywhere speed is fine - both read & write

Cons: All Plastic

Overall Review: For what I wanted this is perfect. I put a bunch of music on it and plugged it into my car. Its small size will keep it out of the way. I will not be moving it from multiple devices often so it works for me. It is all plastic - so it is not super durable. If you are planning on plugging and un-plugging often I would get a different device.

Great for Data and Charging Phone

Pros: nicely built charges my phone quickly data transfer is fine

Cons: a bit expensive - but it works!

Overall Review: I have one other USB A to C cable - it does not charge nearly as fast as this one.

Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" Full HD 1920 x 1200 60Hz 8ms DisplayPort VGA DVI-D 4xUSB 2.0 Pivot Swivel Height Adjustable LED Backlit IPS Widescreen LCD Monitor

Pros: - Great color - size - the 1200 pix height is better for everyday use - Attractive, simple design - no bad pixels - USB ports are easy to reach - Tilt, height & Shift - all the adjustments

Cons: - a little light bleed along the lower left & right corners - very little - Tilting feels a bit shaky - but it does work!

Overall Review: love the shape. The 1200 height is perfect. Better for everyday usage - not just games & movies

Wonderful Case

Fractal Design Define R3 Titanium Grey w/ USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R3 Titanium Grey w/ USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Computer Case

Pros: - Quiet - Attractive (simple, clean, classy) - Quality Construction - Good Airflow - with lots of options - Lots of room for extra drives (too many...) - Nice compact size - Does not intimidate the wife...

Cons: - It could use a HDD LED - Cable grommets are a bit loose

Overall Review: I love this case. It is super quite. I'm running a Core i5 2500k & a HIS Radeon HD 6870. They can consume some power. This case stays quiet and the equipment stays cool. Case has a Titanium color front & black body. A subtle classy look. Everything just feels good. A quality product.
