Pros: At the current price this tablet is a great bargain! It is very well constructed and very responsive. This tablet does everything most users could want to do. If you consider yourself an extreme tablet gamer or absolutely have every bell and whistle you may want to go ahead and spend 3-5 times as much. If you want a great basic tablet to check email, social media, watch videos, video chat, do some gaming, etc., you really should check this out. You can hook it to your TV via HDMI. One thing I really like about this tablet is that even though it has a dedicated charger, you can also charge it via the USB port. If you use a 2A USB wall charger it charges quite fast that way. Regular USB is slower.

Cons: Does not have rear-facing camera, but do you really plan to take pictures with a tablet. Does have front-facing cam for video chat.

Overall Review: I won't go into a long description since the specs are right there. I can attest that this tablet works great and is an amazing value. At a price not much more than the cheapest generic tablets you get an extremely well-made tablet from a company with great customer support. I thought it was a bargain when I purchased one about 3 months ago for $60 more! I have to confess that I purchased this tab as an interim until the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" came out. When it did I purchased a Tab 2 and gave the Alpha 2 to my son-in-law. Sometimes I think I made a mistake. Don't get me wrong, the Tab 2 is a great tablet, but the Alpha 2 works just as well and has standard port, like USB, while the Tab 2 has a proprietary dock. About the most significant feature difference to me is that the Tab 2 does have a rear-facing camera, but I have not even used it. There are plenty of reviews on that website that starts with Am for more info.

Pros: I guess it's pretty, and maybe it would be OK on a touchscreen.

Cons: I'm sure you have heard it all before: No Start button. Apps require higher resolution than I use. Too many steps to do simple things like shutdown. All around irritating.

Overall Review: I thought I was being SOOO smart. When Win 7 came out I preordered upgrade for all of my machines and have been very happy. Enter Win 8 - I preordered upgrades again. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I loaded one on my little netbook as a trial. I use the native 1024x800 resolution because it looks best. All of the Win 8 Apps require higher resolution. At first I upped the res enough to run the apps but I couldn't stand the look so I reverted and deleted all of the App icons on the Start Screen. The same programs are available from the good old desktop. Every time I started my machine I went straight to desktop anyway. I only went back to Start Screen to launch programs not on my desktop Quick Launch. I could go on and on. To this day I don't know where the Control Panel is, but I admit was worn down by the frustration already and did not look too hard. This morning was the last straw. Chrome asked if I wanted to try the Windows 8 version. Not thinking I figured "Sure, why not?" Big mistake. It reverted Chrome to the Win 8 App-type version that requires higher resolution. No matter how I tried to start Chrome I got the same message. That was the last straw. Luckily, I actually did the smart thing and made a backup before installing Win 8 so today I restored from that. I am a happy camper again. Anyone want to buy a couple of Win 8 upgrades?

Pros: This adapter was a great purchase for my wife's iPhone 5 and iPad. I got two for her. One went to her office to replace the older type charger that fit both iPad and former iPhones so she can still charge either device. The other is her main charger at home.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I will likely order another to keep in my travel gear.

Pros: This knife seems very well made. The build is very sturdy. It looks good, too. I am very happy with this purchase.

Cons: It may be just this piece, but the screwdriver blade is hard to open. I have to use a quarter because I fear from my thumbnail and I cannot quite get enough grip to pull it open. I would certainly rather have a little tight than loose. The regular blade opens just right.

Pros: I am posting this to try to help those whose units continuously disconnect/reconnect.

Cons: I don't actually own one because, unfortunately, my TV is one generation too old to have internet capability.

Overall Review: If your unit continuously disconnects and reconnects try restarting your router. I have ATT Uverse, and EVERY time I connect to the wifi with a new device I have this same problem. Powering the router off (unplug) and back on fixes it every time.

Pros: There have been plenty of rave reviews on this little scanner so I won't go into too much depth. I just want to highlight one amazing feature that I did not understand. This thing is fast! Just a second or two per page. It only slows down for really hi res color photo scanning, and even that is fast. Here is the real kicker - it scans both sides of a page in this one very fast pass! I did not understand this at first and was amazed when I did realize it.

Cons: None I can see.

Overall Review: Although I did some test scans of a few 4x6 color photos, I have not fooled with it enough to make any firm statements. The scans looked very good. You can set both compression and resolution to decent levels. I think there were five resolution levels. Up to the third level there did not seem to be significant slowdown. Above that scanning was noticably slower, but still faster than my flatbed. I could not see any difference between the images at the third level and higher res, but again, I have not had a chance to really play with it. I think it may be quite adequate for mass-scanning all those shoe boxes full of prints.
