Most Favorable Review

great gps, small package

MAGELLAN 3.5" GPS Receiver
MAGELLAN 3.5" GPS Receiver

Pros: Very small and compact. easy no-glare touch-screen. tons of features. Good volume. acquired sats in <30sec. Powers on/off when car does.

Cons: should have a smaller suction mount since it doesn't weigh much. Should come with a carry pouch also. big hands might have a hard time on the touch screen.

Overall Review: I might use velcro to attach it since i have a radar det, and my cell phone on my dash already, in a small truck. Great small and compact weith tons of features. Tried one in a hertz car and loved it.

Pros: received it quick, even by mail.

Cons: one of the two sticks was DOA. Tried it in the same good slot and no dice.

Nice laptop

ThinkPad Edge E530 (62724GU) Intel Core i5 3210M(2.50GHz) 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 15.6" Notebook Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

Pros: Nice keyboard, bright screen, touchpad is a little big but responsive. The lid is spring loaded, no latch. Pretty lightweight.

Cons: no LED's for power, HD or anything else but the power has a led for charging or ac. . The "i" in thinkpad's dot is a red LED (on lid AND inside) for no apparent reason and no way to turn it off. Tons of bloatware but thats easy to remove. Left it on for a few hours and it has a nasty "new plastic" smell that i guess will go away after is "burns in". The Function keys are not standard, you have to hit the Fn key to use them. A pain when all you want to do is F5 a webpage.

Overall Review: Kinda disappointed in the lack of LED's for HD, otherwise, its a speedy laptop once you remove all the stuff that's preloaded.

Nice little machine

Pros: Small, quiet. Boots pretty fast. Not super fast but ok for email and web surfing.

Cons: Rear usb port didnt like my usb keyboard but was fine on the front port. Wifi didnt seem connect well but disabled it and used wired instead just fine.

Overall Review: should come with a cat5 cable, ours didnt.

ok, but stopped working

Pros: looks nice, cables look solid

Cons: stopped working on my matx computer, cant get the video signal back after switching. light in button is very bright, probably not nice if you have it dark.

Not bad

Pros: Nice screen, but glossy. Vista is super fast once you uninstall norton bloatware. Sound is good. lots of USB ports.

Cons: Touchpad is kinda sensitive. Keyboard doesn't have a nice response to it, but its ok. Would be nice if it had a accupointer as an option.

Overall Review: Bought this of for a friend and configured it for him. Had it up and running with all bloatware uninstalled and firefox3 installed in 2 hours.
