Wifi at last
Pros: Compact. Easy to configure. The AP worked seamlessly with my existing electrical outlet network. Enabled full 25/10 wifi network within 5 minutes. Now back of house and patio has strong wifi. Good sale price.
Cons: Gets warm.
wired in plug and play
Pros: Plugeed it in and my bedroom became instantly wired. The imac and Xbox screamed to the max 25/10 download upload. wireless was spotty. Why didn't I do this years ago? Also used a wall adapter that splines out to 6 outlets, 3 top and 3 bottom. That is what I am getting full bandwidth on and no loss of outlets.
Cons: none so far
Acer A0521 with 4 gigs of ram
Pros: great netbook, especially the video out to the widescreen HDTV with my MS Arc keyboard and mouse. Running Youtube and Netflix HD runs much better once I upgraded to 7 Pro and dropped a 4gig memory card in. The machine runs my apps smoothly. The battery life is more than adequate. The adapter is light so can easily travel with me. I find the keyboard is easy to use and I can write my blogs or emails without feeling cramped. I do like how wide the clamshell opens up. Wifi reception works well, I can download at 1.6m in rooms that my itouch loses signals. The microsoft experience level is better than my son's WOW game machine. So Newegg just got another order to build a new machine for him.
Cons: does run hot, my machine had no bluetooth.
