Pros: Good adapter, it has nice range, the 802.11n capability for a low price. It came with a cable long enough to put it "high" in my desk, used as a replacement of a PCI g network card that was getting low signal, now I'm getting excellent signal.

Cons: The software can easily drive you nuts. Have never been able to connect thru the it, altough is a pretty straight forward interface, but forget it, when it gives you the option of use either the Win XP Zero configuration, or the Netgear "Smart" Wizard, pick the XP Zero one up and save time and stress. By the way: you can't install the drivers alone to avoid the software it comes with, but you can plug the adapter to the computer so windows can find the drivers thru internet... so you can connect to internet???

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor: move the computer and plug it to a wired connection, plug the adapter and Windows get the drivers, and voila!!, now you'll have the adapter working without the Netgear software to worry about. PD: I did it with my laptop to see if the adapter was bad or the "Smart" Wizard was giving me headaches. With my desktop I didn't do it. my case weights over 40 lb (thermaltake V5000a)

Pros: The card is cheap knowing that it is 1GB

Cons: I always had problems since the beginning with the format, since the first day I had problems and I had to format the card again so it could save more photos. and the last time I used it, I lost all the photos because the computer couldn't even open the folder. Pretty slow.

Overall Review: I hope I just was unlucky getting a defective one, because I read good reviews about it, and no problem like mine before.

Pros: The card was cheap for being refurbished It runs the games I want in 4K, I can maximize the setting of 2010s games with no issue good features for the price (2026 is not the best time to buy computer parts)

Cons: Found out later as I gained interest in AI that AMD tends to be slower than NVIDIA Raytracing can be taxing on the processor, the card still keeps up, but works way harder

Overall Review: I'd recommend the card for people that want to game and to other things at a much lesser extent, however NVIDIA cards are not cheap and AMD overall is a great value

Pros: It works. At the beginning after connecting everything the computer didn't POST but I came to find out that is the DDR5 "training". After that the computer has been working fine. The processor works well with the motherboard, no BIOS flashing needed (MSI pro x870e-s) 12 cores is plenty for gaming, AI tasks (when the model uses it) and AV work it's hard to keep this processor busy!

Cons: I don't really have any cons for the processor as it has work just fine for what I need

Overall Review: I was lucky to find it at a discount for a refurbished item, it definitely helped with the price of the computer as RAM and storage are very expensive nowadays. Sometimes refurbished/renewed items can be a gamble, but in my experience I usually buy those items as they rarely have issues, even full computers,

Pros: as of 2015, I gave my monitor to be recycled, 9 years later, after it was taking a little to turn on and had the edges burnt. It was fun, doing gaming and even some video editing on it. 4 moves and used the same cable. replaced it with a 1080 monitor which I'll be replacing soon with a 1440 monitor. I bet the latter one will be lighter than my Sceptre. I'm very happy and pleased with my purchase.

Cons: On the heavy side.

Overall Review: I know the review is 10 years late, but it brings back good memories. Thank You Newegg and Sceptre.

Pros: The Toshiba Thrive is a great tablet, it has a full USB port, full HDMI and a mini USB, charges fast compared to other tablet, just over 3 hours 100%. Can change the battery.

Cons: Support from Toshiba, camera (so so quality). It took a while to get ICS in the toshiba while pretty much all the other competitors already had them, and no one was even sure it was going to be issued.... the screen quality is not very good, specially if you compare it with the Samsung couterpart.

Overall Review: Nice tablet. If you want a tablet and don't want to carry more than the necessary adapters, or if you use a lot USB flash drives, this is great. From time to time I fix computers and if I don't have my laptop when I need to download something I download it in the tablet, then put it on a USB. It supports Flash, (if you have patience, don't think that Flash is going to behave as it does on a computer)
