Great Router

Pros: Great Distance Easy Setup (if you know how)
Cons: The router comes with little instructions, and the CD that came with it was corrupt, but a 10 minute phone call had it set up in under 15 minutes.
Overall Review: My family needed a router that could connect 6 different computers via wireless throughout our house up to 60 feet away. At 60 feet, I could stream video from youtube without any buffering. My Playstation 3 is upstairs and at the other end of the house, and it receives a perfect signal for online gaming. This router is definitely worth it for those who need one with a long range.
Great for what it offers

Pros: Lighter than I expected Sturdy build Good ventilation Excellent hardware for the price Battery lasts around 5 hours 45 minutes with constant web browsing, music, and IRC Keyboard is comfortable to use, but has a slight problem (see cons) Newegg's free shipping got it to my doorstep the next afternoon (although I live a couple miles from their memphis warehouse...)
Cons: Lots of bloatware, but t can be uninstalled in 15 minutes. Touchpad buttons are a part of the pad, they aren't standalone below the pad like many touchpads The F1-F12 keys are shared with things like brightness/voume up/down, play, stop, skip, wireless, etc. You have to press the function key to use F1-F12. One day, HP will use L-shaped charger connectors...
Overall Review: Upgraded from an old dv5-1250us, was skeptical about buying another HP after the problems it had. It's biggest problem was horrible ventilation and overheating. Both problems have been fixed by HP, this laptop suffers neither. This laptop is great for someone looking for something more powerful than a netbook, but not quite as powerful as a gaming laptop. The graphics card can handle some modern games at lower settings, but I wouldn't push Black Ops or Battlefield 3 onto it. Overall, this laptop does everything decently, but nothing truly excels. It's very portable considering the battery life, size, and weight. I'm a computer science student in college, and I carry around my laptop pretty much everywhere. This allows me to do tasks such as word processing, web browsing, and programming, while I leave heavy gaming to my desktop. Finally, I would recommend it to anyone looking for something portable, yet fast enough to do normal tasks. It would be hard to beat this price.
Great Buy

Pros: 2 6.0 Gb/s sata ports Very sturdy, didn't feel like it would even bend when applying pressure Comes with plenty of screws. Too many motherboards don't come with enough screws. Also came with 2 6.0 sata cables Has all the ports I needed, all of them are working properly Great BIOS
Cons: I/O plate was a hassle to attach, though it may have been my case.
Overall Review: My build: i7 2500k EVGA Geforce 560Ti Gskill Ripjaw 4GB
Great CPU

Pros: Great CPU, simple to overclock
Cons: Don't use the stock cooler, even if you don't plan on overclocking. It's pretty shoddy. Minus 1 egg for the cooler.
It's a network switch

Pros: Small, lightweight, and silent. Add power and your LAN connections and you are done. Currently using my desktop, laptop, and PS3 with it, and all are showing 20mb/s or more download, which is what I would get with a single, direct connection.
Cons: It's actually a 4 port switch with a 5th port attached to it. I haven't tested it, but if you are looking to get the full 100mb/s using all 5 ports, your results could be below the advertised amount.
Great headset

Pros: Synced it with my phone and PS3 in about 15 seconds each. Sound quality is above average, and the mic has a great quality as well. The advertised 15 hour battery translated to about 7-8 hours talk time while using it with my PS3, and it charges to full in under 30 minutes. Built in voice tells you when you are disconnected from your phone. Has various earpieces that can be used for any ear size.
Cons: Cable is very short, maybe a foot. It's a great headset, but I'm not sure if it's $50 great.
