Most Favorable Review

Great for upgrade

Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Laptop Memory Model KVR333X64SC25/1G
Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Laptop Memory Model KVR333X64SC25/1G

Pros: Easy install as increase/upgrade to Gateway Laptop. No problems recognizing increased RAM. Noticed increase in performance right off the bat.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Upgraded from 512 to 1.5Gb. I had read all of the reviews on Newegg, and on my laptop, so I had a good idea of what I wanted. Price was right, reviews sounded good, Kingston is a trusted name, so I went ahead and did it. Glad I did! Newegg really does rock!

Most Critical Review

Not so good...

HOOVER UH60010 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Black
HOOVER UH60010 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Black

Pros: Wide cleaning path, beater bars REALLY BEAT!, powerful suction on the floor, good size canister, self propelled.

Cons: Hardly any suction through attachment hose! There's not even enough to get the furniture/stair attachment to spin! In so many words... it S.U.C.K.S... or NOT?! Disappointed in that respect only.

Overall Review: I had the previous version of this Hoover and loved it. When it got to a point where it would be cheaper to buy a new vacuum than keep fixing my old one, I looked to Hoover again. This one was on sale at Newegg. I love Newegg, I loved Hoover, sounded like a match made in heaven! Very disappointed to find that this version doesn't perform like the old, discontinued model. They are very similar, but this is in no way an improvement over the old one! I think it has to do with the way the suction channel is routed on the back of the machine. When using the attachment hose, the suction is routed through BOTH the hose and the floor at the same time. Not sure if mine is broken, or if that's how it's s'posed to be? On the old version, the hose for attachments was disconnected from floor beater so all of the suction was routed through the attachments. It was MUCH better! Will keep this to vacuum floors, just can't really use the attachments. Too expensive to return. I'll have to live with it!

Just Fine!

Steren(R) 528-006 HDMI(R) Jack to Jack Adapter
Steren(R) 528-006 HDMI(R) Jack to Jack Adapter

Pros: Compact ... about as tiny as you can get while still fitting two HDMI plugs into it. The cables fit snugly.

Cons: price - some websites will sell you two of these type of plugs for what I paid for this ONE, but I had some money left on a gift card, so I wasn't too concerned.

Overall Review: This adapter came from a vendor other than Newegg. I'm always leery when someone sells their goods on another parties website, but this turned out okay. The shipping was quick and the product arrived undamaged (but, it's just an adapter. It would take a lot to squish this thing beyond being usable)

Problem loading?

Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal & State 2013
Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal & State 2013

Pros: I've used TurboTax for a long time. I like the layout, ease of use, and have always had good results.

Cons: I saw one reviewer say they had trouble getting the disc to load, but I had to purchase my own and try anyway. I'm old fashioned and always buy the discs for software like this (as opposed to downloading), so I had all of my old TT editions handy. I did have trouble getting this disc to load to my machine. First few times, it said it was 100% and ready to go, then froze up and sent an error message to the TT help center. I thought it might be something with Win7, so I took my TT 2012, and reloaded it. I had to delete the previous 2012 on my machine and load it again, but it took it. That led me to believe that Win7, and all it's various updates since last year, was not the problem. After I had loaded TT2012, I tried the 2013 version, and voila.. it worked! Not sure what the deal was, but it's up and running and the updates worked too. Just wanted to post this in case others had problems and wanted to give this method a try. Hope this helps...

Great upgrade for me...

Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 180GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F180GBGT-BK
Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 180GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F180GBGT-BK

Pros: Fast! Very Fast... and almost affordable. SATA III is GREAT! 180GB (167 actually) is a good size that lets me load all of the programs I need to use, so I can take full advantage of even having an SSD in my rig. Paired with a 6Gbs HDD for placing my current projects, I've seen a huge increase in speed for reading, writing and saving. It's almost to the point that I hate working on any other systems. They're just too slow.

Cons: Someone mentioned the adapter that came with it? At first, I didn't think it would fit my case, because it just looked too small, so I used the one from my previous Intel SSD. After closer examination, I see now that it DOES fit, it just doesn't hold the drive in the middle like my other one. It wasn't free! SSD's are a great addition to your system, but they're spendy! I didn't want to wait for prices to come down enough to be even somewhat comparable to HDD, so I just went for it at the 180Gb level. This should hold me for a long while. As you can read below, the 120's and less just don't really let you take full advantage of what an SSD should do. Why get something that you can't load ALL of your software on?

Overall Review: This was a great upgrade for me. My 1st experience with an SSD was a 120Gb, SATA II @ 3Gbs. I kept only the bare minimum of OS and software on there for fear or maxing it out. I loved it so much, I thought I'd get something bigger and move up to 6Gbs. This model had great reviews, extra room, and a MIR that brought the price down to just over a buck a Gig. Right now, for this size and speed, I think that's pretty affordable. This SSD kicks-ace. I have found it to be FAST and STABLE. This time around, I did a fresh install of Win7 64 bit, MS Office 10, and several large Video/Audio editing apps. Everything loads so fast! From hitting my ON button, to pulling in email and a browser, takes less than 50 seconds. Web pages, google earth, my large excel workbooks, come up with almost no lag. This drive was well worth the cost. My Rig: EVGA X58 FTW3 mobo Intel Core i7 950 24GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 850W PS 180GB Corsair SSD

Very NICE!

ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 w/Speakers & HDMI
ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 w/Speakers & HDMI

Pros: Great Packaging, Complete w/cables (VGA & DVI), one touch settings for several modes of viewing, NO dead pixels!, great price! Crisp, clear picture right out of the box.

Cons: Only thing so far is the stand. I would have liked to have it come with adjustable height, but I knew that going in. Speakers are meh, but that's a given on the majority of monitors, so I'm not even going to go there. You really should be using a better sound option anyway.

Overall Review: Got this with a promo code and a M.I.R. When all is said and done, this will save me 35 p/monitor.($135 ea. final price - So good, I bought TWO!) KILLER deal for this size. First try with an ASUS brand monitor. I purchased based on Newegg customer feedback and price point and so far I am NOT disappointed. Running Win7 on one and WinXP 64bit on another. Videos in 1080p look great. My pictures look vibrant and clear. I love the 23" size! Slowly, but surely, getting rid of the "smaller" monitors throughout the house now that prices are reasonable. Glad I bought these!

23 days to delivery

Not sure who's to blame on this, but I'm not understanding how it can take 23 days to get from California to Oregon? Perhaps they actually had to get this to the U.S. from China, where it was made, and the shipping label was the only thing that was finished in California?

Trustworthy seller

I'm always cautious when someone sells product through an outside vendor, even Newegg. But, I took a shot. Everything went smooth. Product arrived in good shape, as promised, no glitches. I'd be inclined to shop with Beach Audio again in the future.
