Powerful little thing

UNU Black 14000 mAh Enerpak Extreme Dual USB 2.1A Universal Battery Pack for Smartphones and Tablets UNU-EP-02-14000BS

Pros: With a lot of modern devices, this is almost necessary to make it through a day, or at least to mean one never must choose between having enough battery to map one's way home and listening to some music. It's small, it has a lot of power and holds it for a long time, and has a useful flashlight function built-in. I charge mine about once a week with moderate use.

Cons: It's too easy to accidentally turn the flashlight on by bumping it, which drains the battery and sometimes is embarassing. It's not always clear how much charge it has.

Overall Review: I've recommended this to many friends and they've all been happy with it too.

Fast, reliable, Linux-friendly

Pros: Performs very well, was easy to configure (using my browser alone, so it's Linux-friendly), and has a lot of config options for use as things other than a simple access point. Made my home network a lot more reliable.

Cons: I have no complaints yet.

Overall Review: The packaging was a bit excessive; a smaller box probably would've worked.

Pretty, Affordable, Mountable

Pros: Mounts well on standard VESA mount (good for monitor arm), good display quality, lots of connectors. Very affordable.

Cons: Control buttons feel a bit cheap, wasn't obvious how to take the stand connector off

Overall Review: It's a good deal if you want an affordable large monitor or two.
