Most Favorable Review

OWN IT AND RUN IT AND THEN REVIEW IT

ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution with NF200 3xPCIe true x16 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution with NF200 3xPCIe true x16 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Excellent Quality, effortless setup. Core i7 920 install was smooth as glass.

Cons: None to speak of.

Overall Review: It helps to own a product before posting a review on it. Reviews on Newegg from folks who don't even own the product yet are worse than useless and shouldn't be posted.

Most Critical Review

Single tasker but not without its charms.

iView CyberPad 420TPC Android Tablet - 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 4GB flash memory 4.3" Tablet WIFI Android 4.2 White (iVIEW-420TPC-WT)
iView CyberPad 420TPC Android Tablet - 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 4GB flash memory 4.3" Tablet WIFI Android 4.2 White (iVIEW-420TPC-WT)

Pros: Small, runs Jelly bean Android, has a card slot.

Cons: Poor battery life, poor implementation of Jelly bean on dated AllWinner SOC low RAM (512mb) Frequently crashes the simplest app Runs warm.

Overall Review: If I had it to do over again I'm not sure I'd go for it, but it should be fun enough until it dies.

A real lemon-avoid or purchase for someone you don't like.

iView CyberPad 420TPC Android Tablet - 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 4GB flash memory 4.3" Tablet WIFI Android 4.2 White (iVIEW-420TPC-WT)

Pros: Could easily be used to hold up the short leg of a table or as part of an offshore reef system to support sea life. When lit the screen could provide enough lighting to allow safe exit of a building at night or during a power failure, providing that the exit takes less than one hour, which is the battery life of this unit. Alternately it could be used to anger and confuse someone whom you are not fond of,if that is your wish.

Cons: Not suitable for use...any use. Get used to "unfortunately * has stopped" because you are going to be seeing a heck of a lot of that every time you try to do anything. Even after updating the firmware this thing doesn't fail to disappoint, which is the only thing it doesn't fail to do.

Overall Review: Mine will be the subject of a slow motion film featuring a high speed projectile that will be launched directly at it. Alternately the "tablet" itself may be launched at high speed in the general direction of the "manufacturer". I have had nothing but regret with this purchase.

An excellent upgrade.

Pros: Inexpensive Excellent performance Don't see additional power drain

Cons: Replacing the internal card with this one in the Dell Inspiron Duo means the loss of internal Bluetooth capability. It's not a "Con" for me, but easily could be for someone else, so please be advised of this when considering this card as an upgrade!

Overall Review: I purchased this to replace the anemic Atheros AR5B195 card that shipped with my Dell Inspiron Duo. I only use Bluetooth when docked in the Audio Station dock, so I have a USB BT dongle plugged in there that has worked fine for my BT mouse. Performance is outstanding by comparison.

Time will tell...but great so far!

Pros: Great specs for the price Inexpensive Fairly quiet

Cons: Wasn't delivered by a cute redhead? Not a brand I would reach for straight-away for a "major" system, but I'm not building one of those this time.

Overall Review: I can always rely on Newegg for great prices fast shipping and outstanding service. No Fudd, folks. It's true.
