Role the dice

DELL Laptop Latitude Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2GB Memory 80GB HDD 14.1" Windows XP Professional D630

Pros: This is a pretty cost friendly laptop.

Cons: The video card!!! We had several of these at work. They all eventually had a problem. Three had the NVida card burn up quickly. The worst was one that would not take Windows 7 (display drive would not run areo). It would not take the driver from Nvidia. I eventually just harvested it for some of the parts. It really is a role of the dice, because there are so many different components in these. You could open up 5 of these and have different parts in each.

Overall Review: Out of the different models that we have used of the Latitudes, I would say that the D620 was far more reliable. The only D630 that I had any long term luck with was the D630C.

One hit wonder

OSTER 4207 Inspire Wine Opener Silver

Pros: It was cheep and looked nice.

Cons: It literally worked once. That was it. I tried to replace the batteries (I was finally able to once I carved out some of the exess plastic in the battery compartment) and that did not solve the problem. All the torque was gone.

Overall Review: It was only $10, so not worth returning. I would advise against purchasing this item. Spen the extra $20 and get a functioning one somewhere else. I should have known better. Newegg is great for computers, not so much for wine.
