Most Favorable Review

Just bought my second one

SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500BW
SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500BW

Pros: The first one went in one of my my desktop boxes, and I was impressed enough to buy one for my laptop. Just put it in today, and it is a whole different beast!! What a difference. All I know about these drives is that they are very fast, and work VERY well. I have seen people write about these while running around in circles, pulling out their hair, yelling about TLC instead of MLC,, It's a Bad Drive and The Sky is Falling!!! All I can say is that these drives work extremely well and are VERY fast. Plus, they cost a LOT less than the 840 Pro series, that are MLC. They work very well, and The Sky is NOT falling. At least not yet. I guess time will tell.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I have seen where some people have had major slowdowns when over half filled?? Mine has been way over half full and hasn't slowed down at whatsoever. Hmm. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Most Critical Review

very fast,, Very undependable

ASUS Laptop A53 Series Intel Core i7-2630QM 6GB Memory 640GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6370M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit A53SV-XE1
ASUS Laptop A53 Series Intel Core i7-2630QM 6GB Memory 640GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6370M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit A53SV-XE1

Pros: Very fast, lots of memory.

Cons: Had this for 6 months, and after 3, the system board charge port went out. Asus replaced the board, and that lasted another 3 months. Now it is out again. I have to get it sent back in to be repaired YET AGAIN!!! In 5 and 1/2 months, it will probably be out of warranty, and of no use to me. This seems rather wrong to sell a nice looking computer, and put such a worthless system board in it.

Overall Review: I am thoroughly disgusted with this laptop.

WOW

LG 60" Class (59.8" Diag.) 1080P 600 Hz Slim 3D Plasma TV with Smart TV 60PM6700
LG 60" Class (59.8" Diag.) 1080P 600 Hz Slim 3D Plasma TV with Smart TV 60PM6700

Pros: Incredibly sharp picture, good sound, full range of adjustments for video/audio/3D/inputs etc. I found a re manufactured magic remote, and got 3 pairs of active shutter glasses at a reasonable price, so it is complete now. This has a picture that far exceeds anything I have seen in any store I have looked at,, and that is a LOT of them. I bought it because my old DLP is going out, and most of the new stuff didn't look as good as that old Toshiba. Most were not even close. This LG has an amazing picture that can be gotten by a very intuitive and easy setup system. The 3D works well, though it was not a big selling point for me. Take it or leave it, but it might as well work well, and this does that.

Cons: No glasses or magic remote included, no way to hook up a normal sound system to it. Only has a digital laser(??) hookup that doesn't work with my system, or any system I have ever had,.. One star gone for that. The sound is ok, but I miss my Bose system.

Overall Review: This is a great TV, and is smarter than I am, though that doesn't take a lot to do. It was selling for under a thousand, and I paid another 110.00 for a Magic remote and glasses, Still a great deal.

No Support at All

Pandigital R7T40WWHF1 1GB DDR2 Memory 7.0" 800 x 600 Novel with WiFi 7.0" Touchscreen Tablet PC Android OS White

Pros: If it works at all, it seems ok I did have one that worked.

Cons: No customer support at all. I bought two of these for gifts, and 1 did nothing out of the box. Newegg tells me that since it is a "refurbished" item, I have to go through Pandigital for help. Problem is,, they have a tiny little 250 character space to tell them what the problem is,, and if you can get the problems down n 250 characters, then they don't answer it anyway. I have left 3 different messages, and have not received any response Nothing. They don't answer. This company doesn't care about customers one bit,, at least after they get your money. I am not a very happy customer.

Monster Digital H39-0750-90D 2.5" 750GB SATA III with NCQ Internal Solid State Hybrid Drive Kit
Monster Digital H39-0750-90D 2.5" 750GB SATA III with NCQ Internal Solid State Hybrid Drive Kit

Pros: I did another review with 1 star, and bought a REAL SSD drive for my laptop. I couldn't justify RMA'ing this thing, as it does work, just very slowly. I replaced my daughter's laptop drive with this one, and after letting it run, and get used to the OS and programs she uses,, she tells me it is a bit faster than her old drive. She is happy with it.

Cons: Even so. if you want the drive, save a few bucks and get a Seagate Momentus 750 drive. It is the same drive for a lot less money, and you won't have a pile of useless pieces left over after Installing it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148837

Nice solid working memory

CORSAIR ValueSelect 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSO16GX3M2A1600C11

Pros: Fit right in, and both bios and windows 7 run these as DDR3 1600, even though my processor and mobo are only suppose to go up to DDR3 1333. No problems whatsoever. All tests have come through clean and fast.

Cons: None so far
