Most Favorable Review

Highs are to high, bass has no control

Microlab SP-FC20WH 85W 2.1 Powerful Subwoofer DSP Stereo Speakers (White)
Microlab SP-FC20WH 85W 2.1 Powerful Subwoofer DSP Stereo Speakers (White)

Pros: I find that these speakers have some kinks to work out, First of all I love the quality and build design of these speakers. Very Nice. Remote is good I tested up to 25 feet away through 2 walls and it worked nice, there was a second or 2 delay but that is to be expected.

Cons: There is a few cons 1. There is no minimum or max volume indicator. 2. Unable to control subwoofer ( bass can get to loud ) 3. At 70% the highs will crack.

Overall Review: Sound overall is good. On the next series I would suggest they make the changes I listed above for the cons.

Most Critical Review

Garbage!!

D-Link Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) Wireless N300, SmartBeam Coverage, Gigabit, USB SharePort
D-Link Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) Wireless N300, SmartBeam Coverage, Gigabit, USB SharePort

Pros: Setup, Configuration, & Design Very easy to get this router up and running, no computer skills required, and is good enough for advanced users to tweak

Cons: Speed, reliability, & coverage See other thoughts....

Overall Review: I purchased this router, to replace my broken Linksys WRT54GS What a huge mistake. This thing drops my connection and cuts my speed in half all the time. ( even when wired connection ) I have checked with my ISP, and have swapped routers. It is caused by this D-Link Router. As for the coverage, its minimal at best I would say, 40 Feet, And its a complete circle of coverage, unlike other routers with directional antennas, This has advantages and disadvantages. If you plan on using this router for Remote Web Access (UPnP) it will drop every single time.

Decent Budget Touchscreen

Acer Laptop Aspire Intel Core i5-3317U 6GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Touchscreen Windows 8 64-Bit V5-571P-6642

Pros: I purchased this for a casual play computer - and it fits the bill perfect, its lighter than an ultrabook, feels nice, Windows 8 runs smooth on it, touchpad is nice I like the control ability on it. Even comes with USB 3.0, HDMI. and a DVD Drive!! and still just as thin as those $1500 ultrabooks with the same specs. Battery Life is also good. Touchscreen is very precise.

Cons: Sound - I would say its decent for video playback but not useful when listening to music or watching movies. Screen Quality - The touchscreen is cheap and its understandable at the price I will just note that when pressing on the back panel it bleeds a little - but this is common on cheaper quality screens. (Note: this does not stop the picture from coming out beautiful.) It does not break as easy as the other reviewer says, I guess they must be little heavy fingered. Which is absolutely not necessary you can just glide your finger on the screen its hyper sensitive. Suggestion: Do not carry by pinching the computer with thumb and fingers on the top but instead cradle it with battery (back/bottom) in the palm of your hand by your hip.

Overall Review: I did make an upgrade to this machine and that is to the Harddrive I put in a solid state drive. This makes it a top of the line ultrabook, it made the battery last an extra 30-40 minutes and boot time is now instantaneous.

Pros: I love these monitors, inexpensive, great picture for the price, I have owned 3 Acer series monitors ( all of which are still working, not even a dead pixel) I recommend this monitor to all my clients looking for a replacement screen

Cons: wish it had HDMI

My Review A-BR18B4-E

Aposonic A-BR18B4-E 8 Ch 960H DVR + 4x Sony Super HAD II CCD 700 TVL Bullet Cameras with Mobile Access Surveillance Kit, Mac OS X App fully supported (FREE UPGRADE 1TB)
Aposonic A-BR18B4-E 8 Ch 960H DVR + 4x Sony Super HAD II CCD 700 TVL Bullet Cameras with Mobile Access Surveillance Kit, Mac OS X App fully supported (FREE UPGRADE 1TB)

Pros: Start off saying that this setup is great for beginners and you should not have any issues setting this up yourself. I think the night viewing is superior very good quality. Daytime footage is fair so if you want good quality viewing try keeping the camera as straight leveled as possible ( see cons ) Mounting the bullet cameras was a breeze ( see cons ) A laptop and/or cellphone is wonderful while setting up the cameras, have the DVR setup first so you can watch the cameras when positioning to watch what you are doing to get the right spot the first time. " teamwork "

Cons: Setup is important (meaning do not have it up on the roof pointing down at a subject because it will just be pixelated, try to have it directly level I would say no more than 5 feet above a subject. Mounting the bullet cameras was a breeze but... the plastic washer that holds the camera to the mounting bracket becomes loose so be careful when trying to rotate it in position because it may drop out. Square Camera Mounting bracket is just garbage its designed to be pointed up apparently unless you mount is sideways and rotate the bracket then it will point down( but doing that will stop you from rotating left and right, so with this camera you must point it from the ground up or point it straight forward ( this cameras viewing is 2x the magnification of the bullet cameras in this set so really nice and crisp.

Overall Review: There are some similar $599 packages on here by Aposonic ( This one is the best choice ) The reason why is because of the 650 TVL CCD Cameras - the other listings have cheaper cameras at 480 TVL but you get a bigger hard drive that is not necessary at all you can just install a bigger one yourself ) which is no big deal, There is a huge difference between 480TVL and 650TVL I have made a little video sample of what the cameras look like and the quality, Hope you enjoyed this review.
