Pros: No internal batteries. Great improvement over the previous model in that it is an all in one unit. I also like that the LCD screen is legible with words instead of codes. Shipping took less than a week from Singapore. It comes with a high quality case to hold the product and all of its accessories. I like that I have the option to charge it from my phone through the use of an USB OTG adapter.

Cons: -The beeping indicator is loud but I don't expect to hear it around heavy traffic while I am sitting inside the car. -There is no quick guide. It comes with a manual but I wouldn't want to browse through it while having a disabled vehicle. A simplified quick guide should be printed on the product or on a separate card. The product will sit for years without use and I will surely forget how to use it. I may just make my own card.

Overall Review: Excelent product. I recommend that you test it on your car even if your battery is not dead. You wouldn't want to find out that you had a defective unit on the day that you need it.

Pros: Transmitter works. Playing MP3 files works too.

Cons: Remote controll does not work, checked battery and it is not dead. Unit stops working if we try to charge cellphone through the USB port.

Overall Review: I am not going to return the unit for replacement, not worth my time. I am not fully satisfied with the product. At least the transmitter works.

Pros: It has an optical drive and an Ethernet port which I needed. The body feels study and it is well constructed. Right after I finished with the Windows setup I made sure it was activated and with an USB drive installed a fresh version of Windows. It feels responsive for now, even with an i3.

Cons: This version does not have the finger print reader! Not that I needed it but looking at the pictures I though I would get it. Only the i5 and i7 versions come with one. The optical drive is all from plastic and it is very delicate, they really cut costs on it. It does not come with a DVD decoder, download VLC instead. The touch pad was stained with finger grease within the first day of use. I tried to wipe it with a dry cloth but not everything came off which make me think it will look pretty nasty in a few years.

Overall Review: I could have found a faster system for the same price or less. But because I needed an optical drive and Ethernet I had to buy this one. Overall it gets the job done. Buy a 500GB SSD if budget allows.

Pros: At first I thought this card was broken. Nothing would come up on the screen but I noticed that my hard drive would not work either whenever the card was installed. I traced the problem back to a weak power supply. According to specifications my older power supply should have been able to handle it but that was not the case. I ended up having to purchase a new power supply which I was in need of anyway. The card runs cool. It is small and does not take much room inside the case. You will only receive the card in a box, nothing else. Windows 8 installed the drivers automatically but I visited nVidia’s website to verify anyway. I can play the Sims 3 with the highest settings.

Cons: My Zalman VF1000 cooler would not fit on this card. The mounting holes of the card would not align with those of the cooler. The miss alignment was small so I grabbed my power drill and made the holes slightly larger on the card. This was scary but it worked! I always had the option to leave the stock cooler in place but the original plan was to use my Zalman cooler and I am persistent.

Overall Review: Buying a refurbished item can be daunting but mine has been working fine even after some modifications. It looks like the people at the quality control department of EVGA are doing a good work. I would recommend this card to anyone that wants to save money and is not interested in playing the latest games at the highest settings. So far I have only played the Sims 3 with this card. I plan to buy more games later on.

Pros: This CPU is fast and runs cool. Perfect for a budget build. Comes with an AMD sticker. Runs perfectly fine with Windows 8 and 8.1.

Cons: I was reading the warranty section of the manual and it states that if you use a CPU cooler other than the one that is being provided (stock) the warranty is voided. I went ahead and ignored this but just so that you know…

Overall Review: I recommend this CPU to anyone planning to use Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, etc. Also, I play the Sims 3 from time to time and I haven’t had any problems yet (along with a graphic card of course). We know Intel is faster but speed is not everything.

Pros: It is faster than Windows 7. All my drivers were downloaded automatically. I am starting to like the start screen … mainly because of the customization.

Cons: You can only upgrade within the same “bit version” of windows. For example, you cannot upgrade from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 8 64-bit. Half of the apps do not work unless you provide Microsoft with an e-mail address. Want to use the calendar app? Yeah, give us your e-mail first. Other features also require this. If you have multiple user accounts, it will automatically sign you in to the last one that was used the next time that you power on your computer. There are no settings to disable this and I really wish they would add one. I had to change the default programs that open the music, picture, and video files because it kept opening them with the tile apps. Windows Media Player can no longer play mpeg video files. What??? The selection of wallpapers is poor and there are no user account pictures to choose from (unless you upload them). You can no longer add gadgets to the desktop. There is no Windows Classic theme.

Overall Review: I can only recommend it if you don’t already have Windows 7. The key will not activate unless you perform an actual Windows upgrade. It will not activate from a clean install. The Windows 8.1 update takes forever and I have to say that I like it more than the regular Windows 8. The whole Metro/Desktop switching thing feels broken and lazy on behalf of Microsoft. I feel like I am running two different operating systems at once. It already comes with an antivirus software installed but it does not appear in the notification area of the taskbar when running. At first it made me think that the antivirus was not protecting my computer.
