Most Favorable Review

Great Buy!!

LEXMARK X series X8350 21M0284 Up to 25 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality USB Thermal Inkjet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer
LEXMARK X series X8350 21M0284 Up to 25 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality USB Thermal Inkjet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: This printer does work with Windows Vista 32-bit, This printer is somewhat easy to network with any computer/s as long as you know what you are doing. Lexmark's customer service is one of the other reasons for my purchase of this printer as well as Newegg's low price.

Cons: None

Overall Review: There was a review that stated the buyer could not network this printer. You can as long as the computers you are networking it to are on the same OS. I have it currently networked to my desktop and my laptop is more than capable of printing to it. I called Lexmark (not Linksys) to aid me through the networking process and they did a great job. Also I am upgrading from my Canon f30 printer that was working flawlessly untill I upgraded to WinVista 32. Now Win haters might say it is a fault on Windows that they did not have the support for this printer, but as of present Canon is not making any new drivers for this series of printer as of a few others as well, nor do they have any plans in the future stating that the human resources needed for driver upgrades for this and other End of Life printers (EOL)would be too costly. After receiving this news I talked to Lexmark to see what their take was, they said that they are going back to all the post 2003 series and upgrading them.

Well.....

Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker, Gray 25475
Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker, Gray 25475

Pros: Cooks everything evenly. Nice to have for a quick B-fast.

Cons: So it is a nice maker and I agree with all of the above posts. I maybe in the minority here but I think my experience should be known. It did make great sandwiches but after a couple of runs and one wash the next batch had a funny "chemical" taste to it like nail polish. I do no know if it was from the ultra slick teflon coating on there or not but who wants to take that chance. We discarded the sandwhiches. I notifies HB about this issue and they said as per the warranty that they would ship another unit to us but we had to pay shipping. The shipping charges were 3/4 the price that we spent on the maker! My wife and I agreed it is not worth it. My advice is get a nice panini maker and go to town.

Overall Review: there is no alarm to tell you when your meal is ready so make sure you have a watch or timer handy.

Speedy!!

Patriot Memory 32GB Supersonic Rage USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 180MB/s (PEF32GSRUSB)
Patriot Memory 32GB Supersonic Rage USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 180MB/s (PEF32GSRUSB)

Pros: Slick design, nice rubber feel, activity light, retractable USB 3.0. Very speedy on USB 2.0 and even quicker on USB 3.0 platforms.

Cons: None

Overall Review: transfer speeds were waayy faster than my old Transcend USB 2.0. Wish there were other color choices. Might be hard to put on a ring or lanyard because the hole is a little thick at a little over ¼".

Pros: Reads every media card available today. Works well with Win 7 (32bit installed). Only shows drive once card is inserted then assigns drive letter.

Cons: None

Overall Review: A little pricy than others but worth it. Got this to replace my Floppy drive may it R.I.P. Has nice blue LED activity light that is bright but not too bright. Make sure to have both lines coming from the reader secure one came out about an eighth of an inch and I wasn't getting any power to the device I rechecked the cable to find it was out and reconnected it and it's been GTG ever since. Too bad USB 3.0 has been coming ever so slow on integration but the front USB 2.0 dock is a handy feature. - Saw some posts about drivers I used default drivers from Windows and have had no problems.

buyer beware

MSI 790XT-G45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 790XT-G45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: AM2 and AM3 support

Cons: Ok so I bought this board with full intensions of running crossfire. It will do that but only at 8x not 16x as advertised. The description is very misleading. After contacting MSI they were no help, again it has to be the end users fault somehow. Only after showing the tech over the phone where it stated on their website 16x (2) did they finally agree. So when I asked for a refund guess what more run around. Good job MSI came back to you after being burned before and you chased me away again. I know my fault again.

Overall Review: Just don't. Buy from msi

My little roamy

MSI Wind U130-416US Black Intel Atom N450(1.66 GHz) 10.2" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook
MSI Wind U130-416US Black Intel Atom N450(1.66 GHz) 10.2" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Small, Lightweight, bluetooth, can run Win 7, and surpisingly plays most games rather well inc'l WoW.

Cons: Speakers are very weak. But what would you have for a < 3lb. netbook? The bundled software is for the most part useless. Not a Con but an interesting point is that the back-up comes on a DVD but um there is not a DVD nor CD drive on this thing. I put everything on a thumbdrive just incase.

Overall Review: Like I stated above it will run Windows 7 (like the UK version) and it does it rather well so much better than XP. I think thre was a slight performance boost also. As what another customer posted do yourself a favor and upgrade to 2GB of PC5200 Ram you will thank yourself in the long run. It is a little tricky to do some may feel weary about doing upgrading the ram, if thats you just take it in to your local BB or puter shop they'll take care of ya. Is it a gaming rig? No. Will it get you onto a game like WoW and be usable? Yes! I get anywhere from 10-18FPS (not in major cities i.e. Dalaran) of course do not plan on doing any huge raids as well. Also if you haven't already, invest in a USB thumbdrive no less than 4GB. It is an absolute necessity.
