Very Powerful
Pros: This device will move a lot of air and cool things down a lot. We have only run it for a few hours, but it seems very solid and reliable.
Cons: This cooler sounds like an aircraft engine starting up (53dB), very noisy. It pulls 1.6A at 12V and creates a lot of electrical noise (2.1V spikes at 12V).
Overall Review: We were planning on using this on a piece of test equipment, but the electrical noise was just to much for the extremely sensitive circuits to handle. This is a good solid product if you need it and can put up with the noise. The electrical noise did not affect the PC.
Expensive Toner Cartridge
Pros: Prints well.
Cons: The toner cartridge cost more than the printer. The initial cartridge has lasted me about 6 months.
Overall Review: So, do I throw out the printer and buy a new one for $99 or buy the toner cartridge for $125.
Don't sell something you do not have
Pros: These displays are great
Cons: NewEgg sold me 10 and did not have stock. Waste of my time. It took two attempts to get them to refund my money. Shame on you !!
Overall Review: The product is great, Newegg not so good.
This Sucks
Pros: It was Free!
Cons: Well I haven't played Doom in a long time, so I thought this might be fun. After spending about 4 hours getting everything loaded and started the game it came back with a Fatal Error. Apparently, my graphics card (GTX440) is not good enough for it. I looked at the recommended graphic cards and they cost from $200 to $600. So maybe someday I will play this, but not anytime soon. BTW the instruction for getting this loaded are really bad. AMD processors are tops, but this free game isn't.
Overall Review: So before you load this check on system requirements.
Fast and Runs a long time
Pros: This runs fast, the battery last up to 10 hours and takes about 2 hours to fully charge. Streams video from the internet with no problem. For a tablet, the sound is great. Powers up in about 6 seconds ready to go. I love the pen, it has bluetooth and allows you to start up programs with a click of the button, also works great in browser mode allowing you to hand write in what you are looking for and do a search without touching the on screen keyboard. BTW: the on screen keyboard works well, not quite big enough for touch typing, at least not for me. I do not have the keyboard cover yet. That will probably be next.
Cons: I was told that the power supply would plug into both AC and Car 12DC. But it only came with AC. Does not come with keyboard or protective cover, these are optional. Normally runs cool, but if you start a lot of programs it will get hot. After a month of very light use, the touch screen stopped working. Now I have to get it fixed.
Overall Review: I got this for my wife for her to store recipes, and sheet music. But I have been playing with it too. <br>As always Newegg got it here fast and with no problems. I haven't found a better price than Newegg.
Reallly Nice Board
Pros: As an engineer I really appreciate how well laid out this board is. Beautiful Board. I put a 3.6G Quad Core FX1, 8G Ram and a ECS 512MB GT440 PCI-E graphics card and this thing handles Solidworks quite well. Win7 Experience is: Processor 7.2, RAM 7.3, Graphics 6.8, Game Graphics 6.8, Disk Transfer 5.9. This board came with 8G Free Ram which made it an excellent buy. It has a parallel Printer Port IDC, but no cable/connector to bring it outside the case.
Cons: The SATA interface is limited to 3Gb/s, but that is not really a problem, No printer port cable and connector. The dual onboard video was to slow for me, using it had a Win7 Experience Rating of 4.8. It did not have an audio input for the DVD.
Overall Review: I am really happy with this board, Biostar has always been my favorite. Newegg - what can I say other than amazing. I was going to buy a second one, but they dropped the free RAM. So I will wait.
Ordering was a problem
I had to order these 3 times because of some foul up between New Egg and Pay Pal. Once the vendor got the order I got the cards and everything is fine.
