Excellent Notebook

MSI Laptop GE Series Intel Core i7-3610QM 8GB Memory 750GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit GE700NC-003US
MSI Laptop GE Series Intel Core i7-3610QM 8GB Memory 750GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit GE700NC-003US

Pros: This laptop is amazing! It is really fast and responsive. It comes with 3rd gen Intel i7, which only a few have it and I must say that it is amazing! The graphics card is really great too. USB 3.0 are a plus too, so you can use your external hard drives at their full speed. Fan Cooler Mode makes the laptop to not overheat, and I tested it by stressing the processor and it is not even a little heat. Turbo mode turns on automatically when you play games or watch movies with hardware-accelerated playback. So far no complaints about this notebook. I upgraded my 3 year old Core 2 Duo processor with this one and wow! there is a great boost in performance!

Cons: None so far. This is an excellent notebook.

Overall Review: At first I thought the Turbo Mode was activated by pressing the Turbo Mode button, but actually, it turns on automatically when the graphics card is in use.

Cheap Windows Tablet

HP Stream 7 5709 (K4F53UA) Intel Atom Z3735G (1.33 GHz) 1 GB Memory 32 GB eMMC 7.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet Windows 8.1 With Bing Black (Certified Refurbished, Grade A)
HP Stream 7 5709 (K4F53UA) Intel Atom Z3735G (1.33 GHz) 1 GB Memory 32 GB eMMC 7.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet Windows 8.1 With Bing Black (Certified Refurbished, Grade A)

Pros: -Can be upgraded to Windows 10 -Fast storage -Fast boot -Responsive touch

Cons: -1GB of RAM may be limiting for some -Wifi is only 2.4Ghz

Overall Review: The tablet works great, and for the price it is an excellent choice. I also own the HP Stream 8 and this is the 7 inch version of it. They both work excellent and are very responsive. For only $60, this is surely a great choice tablet :)

Great mini computer!

Kangaroo Mobile Desktop Computer KJ2B#001-NA Intel Atom X5-Z8500 (1.44 GHz) 2 GB LPDDR3 32 GB eMMC Windows 10 Home
Kangaroo Mobile Desktop Computer KJ2B#001-NA Intel Atom X5-Z8500 (1.44 GHz) 2 GB LPDDR3 32 GB eMMC Windows 10 Home

Pros: Small, portable, HDMI and USB ports. So I got this and I'm liking it already. It is awesome! First thing I did was to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Education, and it is working excellent!

Cons: Not a con but an audio port would have been great.

Overall Review: Is it normal that the power adapter doesn't "click" in the DC jack of the dock? While this doesn't bothers me the cable can sometimes be removed accidentally because it doesn't seems to click there.

Excellent capture card

AVerMedia CV710 ExtremeCap U3 Capture Card
AVerMedia CV710 ExtremeCap U3 Capture Card

Pros: -Captures 1080p 60fps uncompressed -Works with OBS -Works with my Canon Vixia HF21 and GoPro 2 -Works with Intel chipset (I own a Lenovo Y510p) -Included software works great for capturing video contents

Cons: Had to enable Safe Mode in the USB Diagnosis tools due to some image issues at random intervals. Even with that option enabled, there is no quality or frame loss I could find in the recorded videos or in the preview.

Overall Review: I purchased this primarily to broadcast events from my Canon Vixia HF21, and this does the job pretty well. I used OBS to perform the broadcast to YouTube and it worked excellent. CPU usage was around 60% in my Intel Core i7-4700MQ. There was no frame drop during the broadcast and I was also simultaneously recording the broadcast to my PC. Also, just for fun I plug my Wii U to this capture card to play using my PC monitor and sometimes capture game footage which also works excellent. Overall, if you are looking for a simple capture card, want to capture live events, or just connect your game console to your PC monitor, this will do the job.

Excellent High-Performance Laptop

Lenovo IdeaPad - 15.6" - Intel Core i7-4700MQ - Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M SLI - 8 GB DDR3 - 1TB HDD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop (Y510p (59375625) )
Lenovo IdeaPad - 15.6" - Intel Core i7-4700MQ - Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M SLI - 8 GB DDR3 - 1TB HDD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop (Y510p (59375625) )

Pros: 4th gen Intel Core, Dual NVIDIA 700 series. Excellent cooling (it has a big fan inside).

Cons: No mSATA slot, but that's no issue for me. Also, this model does not comes with the new m.2 SSD slot. Again, this is not a necessity for me.

Overall Review: The Ultrabay slot is also compatible with 9.5mm caddies and optical drives. It includes both the Optical Bay SATA ports plus the Lenovo Ultrabay port. I ordered a hard drive caddy and will test it in this model. Also, to activate Switchable graphics, you must remove the included Ultrabay graphics card. Applications which are compatible with more than one GPU (Multi-GPU applications) will detect both of the NVIDIA cards and will utilize them. This is the case for me since I'm not a gamer but use graphic-intensive softwares and video editing.

Excellent USB Reader

IOGEAR GFR204SD 10-in-1 USB 2.0 SD/ MicroSD/ MMC Card Reader/ Writer (Green/ Gray)

Pros: It reads all SD cards and has a dedicated MicroSD slot, so there is no need for adapters!

Cons: there's nothing bad to say about this item.
