Pros: Clean, Sharp looking, It's Samsung, so you expect a lot, and seems (so far) to deliver

Cons: Highest price of the 7", but that's not surprising. Samsung has so far seemed worth it.

Overall Review: This one is distinctly smaller than the SGT 2, so none of the existing GT2 covers will fit it even closely. Until you see one that says "for GT3", buy any cover locally to see that it's close enough to work. I did find one that was close enough, but as I write this (Aug, 2013) there are no GT3-specific covers. I like the one I found by Speck... though it's not for the GT3, it's close enough, and features a latching cover, which I definitely like.

Pros: Acronis is at least reliably functional, in my experience.

Cons: Support will be inadequate and expensive. Probably doesn't support the latest tech, unless you're lucky, and they'll charge you for the "update" that does.

Overall Review: Acronis used to be a great company, but now they are out to chisel every penny from you they can. I bought an earlier version of DD, because they had a good history, and I like to reward companies. This also offered them two additional sales of the True Home Backup product, too. Came the time when I really needed to use DD, I discovered it did not support GPT disks -- despite the fact that I'd purchased it more than 2 years AFTER the release of Windows 7, which **requires** GPT functionality -- and I would have to pay a $25 fee to upgrade to a version that did support GPT. I don't expect miracles -- but failing to support it TWO YEARS after release, then demanding a huge upgrade fee to get access to functionality that should have come with it on the day of purchase is ridiculous. Instead I discovered an alternative, which supported GPT in its FREE edition, and who has since gotten my PAID purchase. And will continue to do so for the indefinite future. I don't recommend or purchase Acronis products any longer. They are out to cheat you of every penny they can.

Pros: Exceptionally Bright. Can be used in a defensive manner, to blind/dazzle briefly.

Cons: About US$10 more than it ought to cost. Operational time on a charge ca. 1-2 hrs, and rechargeable lithiums, so not your main hiking/camping lamp, though an excellent supplementary tool.

Overall Review: Don't actually have this one, but I have owned and bought a dozen like it or similar. A search on "Cree 1000 lumen" should be able to find you the essentially same light for about US$10 and two 18650 batteries plus a charger for another US$10. There are also Cree models that use 4x 18650s for US$30 and US$45, respectively, that rate at 3800 and 7000 lumens. There are also Cree models that rate up to 2000 lumens, have adjustable focus, and utilize one of three: 1x 18650, 1x 26650, or 3x AAA. These cost US$10-15. Granted, most of those are anodized black and not "silver", but they are rugged, solid, AND effective. I haven't been unhappy with Rosewill in purchases, so they're a good company. I'm just noting that you should be able to get the exact same performance characteristics for about 2/3rds the price along with an additional battery. But trust me, the Cree-based flashlights are the way to go for anything where brightness, as opposed to longevity, is of high value. As noted above, longevity on a single battery between 1 and 2 hrs, and, unless you get the above-mentioned 3xAAA model, not readily field-replaceable for extended camping or hiking, away from electrical sources.

Pros: Solid, good battery performance, attractive. Sharp screen. Good size for the price (MNSHO: 100 bucks more for 1 extra additional inch? Naw.)

Cons: No phone/data connectivity. Didn't think about that when I bought it. Might have seen how much the price difference would have been. Can still use my phone as a hotspot connection, but be conscious of this.

Overall Review: It's notably smaller than the Galaxy Tab 2, so finding a cover/case for it is tricky -- better to buy it, take it to a store like Office Depot, and see if you can find a case that fits -- there weren't any GTab3 specific cases available when I bought it.

Pros: Actually, I had the earlier set, the design is essentially the same. These are good audio, and wireless, "duh". The quality of reception varies with the phone. I had an old LG vx9000 and in large spaces (like a box store, or outdoors) they would drop a lot. When I got an LG env Touch they worked everywhere. Can answer phone with them easily, and audio out to caller is good, not too "tinny".

Cons: a) design does not fold. This means storage is a bit of a pain. The older version was not particularly flimsy, so unless this version is more so, they ain't going to break too easily. b) the behind the head design is a slight pain in bed or other places where you are reclining with your head back, say, against a pillow. You have to sort of position the pillow just right to leave space behind your head.

Overall Review: I wish someone would take the Jawbone design and make a stereo version of it. That would be perfect.

Pros: I've been using HP media for a long while, one advantage is that the non-DVD-burn surface of these is red, unlike any other media, which makes it good for differentiating at a glance between these DVDs and others, if you like to categorize your burns at all, and don't plan to go into lasered or printed tops. They've been as reliable as any other media I've gotten, and as a result, I was rather disappointed with Office Depot stopped carrying them.

Cons: Other than the fact that you have to mail order them, none.

Overall Review: For the price, they aren't getting beaten for reliability by a lot. And, as noted, the red color makes them visually distinct from others, which can help you when you're looking for "THAT" disk among the bunch that inevitably get piled up on the desktop. Often you know if it's red or not (particularly if you try and use different colors for different functions -- like photos vs. videos vs. music vs. backups and that can make it clear whether a disk is the one you want without having to even read whatever you've written on it to ID it.
