Good Player

FUJI LABS 1.5" Black 1GB MP3 / MP4 Player VM3321CN-BK-1GB
FUJI LABS 1.5" Black 1GB MP3 / MP4 Player VM3321CN-BK-1GB

Pros: The player looks and feels sleek and seems to function great, when it functions. Good sound quiality, etc.

Cons: Charging for too long results in no-charge. No Bookmarking feature. Eight character filenames. Non-standard & non-replacable battery means this player won't be good for a vacation unless you'll have ample opportunity to plug in and recharge.

Overall Review: I'm pleased with the quality of the sound/pictures/etc. The player works and plays well, but I just have a few peeves about it which I'd like to share. Mutliple songs by one band will all look identical, due to file naming. I seem to be getting less than 8 hours of play time per charge. I'd like to be able to just slap in a second battery when the charge dies. Aside from my peeves above, the quality from this company is astounding. I just happened to get a bad one (below). My particular player arrived with a loose casing, so I'm RMA'ing it because it will eventually fall apart. This problem also causes it to not turn-on sometimes.

Pros: Good price. Good Features.

Cons: Battery lasts *almost* an hour. Was going to ask for help, but upon re-checking NewEgg's spec.s I see they didn't list any amount for battery life.

Good, but Loud

Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Color Multifunction Inkjet Printer
Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Color Multifunction Inkjet Printer

Pros: Easy wireless connectivity. Following the poster-sized instructions which came with the printer, the WPS connection to our router took half a minute. Fast Printing with good color. Simple Ink cartridges. Instead of 3 different color cartridges, there is just one "color cartridge" and one "Black cartridge". Multiple functions (Print, Scan, Photocopy, Fax). I've only used Print and Photocopy, both of which worked just fine in B&W and in Color.

Cons: Loud. This printer is replacing the our previous, 5-year-old Cannon InkJet printer. The moving pieces in this printer are extraordinarily noticeably louder than our previous model. The whole unit sounds loud, clumsy, and hollow in contrast to the calculated tight movements in our previous Cannon model (pixma something or other). Even though I listed it as a Pro for simplicity, I have reservations about the single ink cartridge for "Color"s. With our previous printer, I noticed we would use more of one color than the rest (yellow: google maps. go figure). But now with this single cartridge for all the ink colors, the whole cartridge will need to be replaced if only 1 color runs out. That seems wasteful and seems like we'll end up spending more money on ink over a similar amount of time,

Overall Review: I have not yet scanned anything aside from a photocopy. I assume from "scanner" being in the tech description than I can scan a physical photo/handout and digitize it to a file on my computer. I probably won't end up using the fax feature.

Good Upgrade From HD5830

Pros: [1920X1200] Upgraded from HD5830 to HD7870. Noticeable difference in some games which were not happy when I had AntiAliasing and other similar effects turned up.

Cons: none

Great Headset

SteelSeries Siberia V2 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Gaming Headset - Black
SteelSeries Siberia V2 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Gaming Headset - Black

Pros: They seem to be made of stern quality, not flimsy at all. The sound is great. The retractable Mic is "fun", but I wonder how long before that moving part will wear out? The entire unit weighs less than it appears to (from images) and feels comfortable on my head. The padding/insulation around the earpieces isn't anything unexpected... by me. but apparently my wife thinks these things are causing a rift in our relationship as I no longer respond to her when she's in the same room. That's a pro for the headset, but a con against me as a person. Oops; will work on that, sweetie. Overall, great product. I am not let down by my first full-sized gaming headset.

Cons: Not sure if this counts: My previous cheap headset came with an adapter which converted the standard ministereo plugs for Mic+Speaker to USB. This headset is not recognized by Windows OS when used with that adapter. Bummer. That adapter had made life so much easier.

Works Great Within Eight...

Pros: ...Feet. The Router was just fine and the wired-computers we all networking just great, with Internet connectivity.

Cons: The wireless range didn't reach across a small bedroom. I checked the obvious antennas & plugs, and switched channels, and experimented with various positions. It's possible an internal component was faulty. Newegg was great, paid return shipping, and I'll replace this bad egg with a better egg.
