Sweet little color laser!!!
Pros: Unit is compact, but has some heft to it (I definitely couldn't use it like an HP frisbee). Very easy to set up through the wizard for both wired and wireless. Directions were fairly easy to follow in the book as well. Great crisp color and first page out is exceptionally fast (less than 10 seconds). Footprint is about the size of an older ink jet printer that it is replacing. You can't beat the price for a networkable (wired and wireless) or locally (USB) driven color laser jet printer. The toner cartridges are very easy to get at and change unlike some that you need an engineering degree and a service manual to change.
Cons: The toners are inexpensive, but they are very tiny compared to most other color lasers I've serviced. I hope they last longer than what I am expecting them to.
Overall Review: Overall, it seems to be a great little printer for single user or a small (less than 5 person) workgroup. Can't wait to see how it performs! This happens to be for my parents who are not as technically inclined as I am and they seemed to find it easy to use as well.
Love the drive, if I can get it to run
Pros: Great speed, love the transfer rate, ran Windows Vista great (while it was running).
Cons: Will now have to RMA the drive because it failed out of the blue for absolutely no reason after I rebooted the system one day and it all of a sudden refused to spin up.
Overall Review: Probably better that it happened quickly before I had too much data on it because I planned to transfer the data from my 2 250Gb IDE drives to the new one, but now I will not be able to until I send it out to the Far East somewhere and get a "new" one back.
Awesome Deal!!!
Pros: Bought as a combination drive backup / extra storage for laptop with 256 SSD. Works great for either. Sorry no speeds for you as I did not do any testing prior to giving it away.
Cons: None that I can come up with.
Great laptop!
Pros: Unit runs like a top, great deal!
Cons: None that I can come up with, gave it as an anonymous gift.
They don't really exist (says Best Buy)
Pros: Great cable, should have checked the length (oops... Oh well). Works perfectly as they should. Got it in two days, great shipping as always Newegg!!!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Had a friend look for this type of item locally and was told by the Best Buy associate that nothing like that exists.... Hmmmmmmmmmm.... I would question their training, and hiring for that matter, as this associate apparently has never dealt with any technology outside of their store (can someone say DOLT!)
Bluebirds...You decide
Pros: As a system builder, I use these drives on a very regular basis on almost all of my new builds and have never seen any "bluebirds" in their firmware (Not denying that they exist). That being said, I will tell you that I have NEVER BOUGHT ANY of these from Newegg. These drives are decent enough drives for the money spent (mind you, they're no Plextor drive).
Cons: None.
Overall Review: You be the judge, is this an issue with strangely loaded units that Newegg purchased or some other unique phenomenon? Hmmmm.... I repeat, of all of the LG drives that I have installed (hundreds to be exact), I have never encountered any "bluebirds" in their f/w and have never had a problem removing any of their extraneously added program entries from the start up of any Windows box. As a matter of procedure, I routinely load their packaged software onto any system that gets one of these drives (if they don't have a good piece of burning software already installed).
Awesome CS
Had to have this item short notice, and these guys rocked it out for me!!! Thank you so much! Will rate the item later.
