Most Favorable Review

It's a little dated, but still pretty good.

SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 2GB Memory 16GB Flash Storage 8.4" 2560 x 1600 Tablet Android 4.4 (KitKat) White

Pros: Handles games decently well. Incredibly high resolution screen. Good battery life. Lots of useful apps and other incentives from Samsung.

Cons: Overly sensitive screen. I've checked online and I'm not the only experiencing this. The screen will detect a click when you're trying to scroll so frequently that it almost makes it not worth using this tablet. Not even rooting it and changing ROMs fixed the issue for me. A new firmware version seemed to have fixed the issue for a few people, but a lot of people still have this issue. The home screen also has some lag on it on occasion due to the magazine UX being a resource hog.

Overall Review: Pretty solid tablet. Although at this point, I'd highly recommend getting the Tab S instead as it has an AMOLED display and no touchscreen issues that I know of.

Most Critical Review

Died rather quickly

ESR600 N600 Dual Band 2-Way Interactive Intelligent Router with Gigabit Ports, USB and EnShare

Pros: Worked well for about three weeks. Good range and reliable connection.

Cons: Enshare service was kind disappointing and worthless. The router ran hot and died after three weeks. I called customer service and they're supposed to be sending me a box to send it back in. It's been a week or a week and a half and still nothing. So while this router seems like a good buy, I would not be able to recommend it to anyone for fear of it overheating for them as well.

CMOS fail

BIOSTAR TA970 Ver. 5.3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Other than the major issues it has, it does serve the purpose of a motherboard.

Cons: On very first boot, got a CMOS fail. Boot up times are obnoxious. USB devices randomly restart every few minutes. It's pretty awful.

Overall Review: Probably just got a bad board, but there seem to be a lot of people who did, so I'm just going to try a different brand, I guess.

Typo?

Pros: Battery.

Cons: There's no way that this battery is 48000mAH. Maybe they meant 4800?

Overall Review: If this is 48000mAH, I'll buy two of them. If the manufacturer could clear this up, that'd be great.

Low capacity

Pros: They're batteries.

Cons: I had assumed that these would actually have a decent capacity, but they're only 1400mAH. Not worth the price at all. Do not buy these.
