Most Favorable Review

Very pleased with laptop

ThinkPad Laptop Edge Intel Core i5-3210M 6GB Memory 750GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 14.0" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit E430 (3254AH2)
ThinkPad Laptop Edge Intel Core i5-3210M 6GB Memory 750GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 14.0" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit E430 (3254AH2)

Pros: Lighter and thinner than I expected, screen looks much better than many of the other non-HD screens I have seen in stores, it is very clear. Computer is relatively snappy, would have been nice to see a little bit faster HDD but for the price I paid I am happy. One small thing Lenovo did that I really appreciate is on the power adapter the power doesnt stick directly out, it is bent at an angle which I believe will help in keeping the small wires on the inside from shredding and rendering the power cord unusable. The keyboard is another thing that I really like about this setup, it is quiet and is comfortable to use, im sure those who have used many laptops or keyboards in their day know what I mean.

Cons: Touch pad is somewhat picky, I am still trying to figure out how to get it to work correctly and properly calibrate it. I was unable to get it to connect to the wireless at work, hopefully updating it will cause it to work properly. One other minor annoyance that will take getting used to is the placement of the Fn key on the bottom left hand side of the keyboard, it is where the control key was on my old laptop and many other laptops I have used, will take some getting used to knowing that I have to move over one key.

Overall Review: Overall I am very pleased with the purchase, especially for the price. This is a relatively high powered laptop with Win 7 and for the $550 that I got it for, I dont think I could have found a better deal.

Pros: Does a good job once it turns on

Cons: I dont know if I got a defective unit or if it is just really cheaply made but I had a hard time turning it on.

Works great

Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DTSE9H/16GBZ)
Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DTSE9H/16GBZ)

Pros: Fast data transfer, high capacity for a good price (I chose the product so I knew exactly what I was getting).

Cons: None

Overall Review: I purchased this to put family pictures on to send to my mom who lives overseas. I have transferred photos from multiple computers and the only time the speed was not fast was when using a USB 1.0 device and it still transferred at around 600 k/sec, still good in my opinion.

Works as Promised

NETGEAR CMD31T-100NAS High Speed Cable Modem - DOCSIS 3.0 Ethernet Port
NETGEAR CMD31T-100NAS High Speed Cable Modem - DOCSIS 3.0 Ethernet Port

Pros: To date, and I use it intensely for remoting into work, netflix and hulu, music, basic surfing, etc, I have had no problems, have not had to reset or power cycle.

Cons: None

Overall Review: We are a bandwidth intensive home and I have had no problems to date. This modem has performed much better than I thought it would. Other ratings worried me but as with most reviews I think many of the problems are incorrect installation and/or improper use and calibration. This is my first experience with a netgear product and it was positive.

Perfect
