Pros: This monitor is built to extremely high standards. You can feel the quality inherent in it when unpacking it. It is just simply a well made piece of technology. The buttonless controls are nice. They are similar to the PS3, but function much better, they are quick and responsive. The adjustment menu is extensive, you can set it up just the way you want. The USB hub is a nice feature for me, i have a Macbook Pro 15", which means only 2 USB ports. So having extras is nice, and having them on the monitor is excellent because when not on the road the laptop sits closed behind the monitor so everything is functional but hidden. The input selection is nice, i bought this to use as a monitor for my MBP, but also to use as a panel for my PS3. So the HDMI was vital, and it functions flawlessly, of course. The swivel feature is very nice, it makes reading in Acrobat or a long web page quite easy. The color is great, blacks are deep, LED wonderful.

Cons: This monitor could use a remote, since it functions as a HDTV as well as a monitor. It would be convenient. The sound goes out, and stays out for a few seconds each time you hit the input key. It is moderately annoying, but nothing i can't live with. The lettering on the "buttons" is very small and hard to read. In a very bright or very dark room it is nigh on impossible. This is another reason a remote would be grand. There is nothing i notice that would detract from its overall rating.

Overall Review: Newegg gets the nod yet again on their price and shipping. Their cost was lower than everybody else's. They got it to me in 36 hours on free shipping via UPS. Normally UPS takes forever to reach me, so this was a pleasant surprise. I am very satisfied with this monitor. There are no burnt pixels, no cosmetic flaws, nothing at all wrong with it. The only problems are little niggling things that do not make much overall difference.

Pros: The acrylic is quite thik. The case comes with some lighting built in, with the ability to turn it on and off from the front panel. The machining on the acrylic panels is nicely done. The instructions are well done, although the neglect to detail the construction of the switch assembly, and wireing thereof. A monkey can do it without iinstructions....but i doubt a lemur could. It has a PSU support, which is nice, itll take quite a bit for the PSY to fall on top of your CPU fan. For a midsize case its quite roomy.

Cons: The gloves, as everyone lese mentions, do not fit. I will not go into how i suspect this is somehow related to child labor in asia...you figure it out. The case is not well, not poorly designed. It verges on poorly designed though. It is quite delicate, expecially when loaded with all its internal components. I would suspect that when fully built, this case would shatter if dropped from one foot. I would wager it would chrac, or partially shatter if the drop exceeded an inch. This is because it TOTALLT lacks any kind of side bracing whatsoever.

Overall Review: For this price the case should either come assembeled, or with fans. That is at the very least. Please, for everyone's sake, add some bracing/blocking like all your competitators do. You know who i am talking about. If you buy this case, buy some .5x.5" acrylic or lexan stick, and make up some bracing like i did, at least that way you will be able to pick it up without being nervous its going to break apart in your hands.

Pros: Keeps your beloved iPhone screen from getting scratch damage. Very thin, you can hardly notice it is there. VERY inexpensive when i purchased. The clarity of the glass is astounding, as is the smoothness. I can not stress that enough. This glass is of otherworldly superior quality. No interference with the touchscreen capabilities, no problems caused with the brightness or proximity sensors.

Cons: A little pricey if you do not get it on sale. Instruction in the packaging is sketchy at best. Whats the blank rectangular hologram foil/sticker for? The rear facing plastic protector is garbage. It is of the worst quality, simply discard it rather than trying to use it. Does not handle flexion from the side AT ALL. Thats what broke mine, trying to put a loose case over the whole deal. The cover got on fine, the bottom part (incase cover) broke the film.

Overall Review: I love this product and intend to buy another as soon as i get sick of waiting for it to go on 75% discount.

Pros: Decent speeds from a USB3 connection. Stylish aluminum case (if you care about such things). Bright indicator light. Convenient length cable about 2.5 feet, good quality one at that. Fairly priced at the time. Idiot-proof works out of the box. Can be used in self defense if mugged outside library, workplace, etc… (its edges are that sharp and the case is that strong).

Cons: A little pricey based on the designer's name, this cost a premium of maybe 5-7% because of the brand. The 996 inspired blah silver case could bore some.

Overall Review: Other than the extra cost due to the Lacie / Porsche name i can not think of anything to complain about with this drive (which i actually do own). It is very small, the case is VERY tough (most people couldn't break it with repeated attempts), and it is certainly attractive in that uninspired Porsche industrial look. I could complain that the literature tells nothing about what brand disc and controller are inside, but either you trust Lacie or you don't. The included cable is not a cheap piece of junk, nor are any of the other visible pieces, so one hopes that is true of the internals (which are the only parts that matter, LoL )!! While i am not certain, i think the disk brand is of the Sea, but i have no clue as to the controller. I would not hesitate to buy another of these if the price was competitive. I would only get the unpainted silver ones, i think the white ones are ugly. If ever they make it in thunderbolt it would probably be a formidable drive.

Pros: Fast read and write at USB 3. Clean design. Needs no power adapter. Good size drive at 1 Tb. Included software is actually decent, if you feel you need to use it. Feels solid and well built. No problems with my Macbook Pro. The data light is visible, but not obnoxious like some i have seen.

Cons: A little on the expensive side. The design is cool, but its nothing more than a piece of milled aluminum with a plastic drive enclosure tucked into the milled out bit. Some people may complain the cable is too short at about 18 inches. Its not for me though. VERY sharp corners, this could conceivably hurt someone somehow.

Overall Review: I like this little drive a lot. I always buy 2.5 inch drives to spare myself the adapter issues, even though they cost more. So i know i am paying a premium for these drives, and therefore can not complain about the pricing. The drive is very fast, and i am just using it on USB 2 at the moment. It is quite a bit faster than my USB 2.0 drives. It has the bland design by Porsche, if that interests people. It looks nice enough i suppose, and it really does feel quite solid and well built in the hand. The LED it uses for access indication is just the right brightness in my opinion. I would, and probably will, buy another of these drives.

Pros: Big, fast, quiet, inexpensive. The LED is not obnoxiously bright, and is a soothing blue. The USB cord is not six feet long.

Cons: It would be nice if the case were made out of aluminum rather than plastic. The case is not user serviceable, at least not obviously so.

Overall Review: I am tired of HDD manufacturers pretending a gigabyte is one thousand megabytes. I understand the reason this is done, but when i pay for 400 GB i would prefer to get that, rather than 360 GB. Thats an awfully large difference. My only other thought is that the price on this dropped $40 over the three months between Christmas and today. That feels like a burn to me.
