Reliable, very sharp picture

Pros: Very clear picture, can read license plates at moderate range. Minimal interaction needed. Many features and modes. Good quality build. Great night vision Comes with SD card.
Cons: GPS is finicky.
Overall Review: Use this in both my vehicles. A few weeks ago, a pickup clipped a sedan, which then lost control and rear-ended me. I didn't need any evidence for insurance, but it was fascinating to be able to replay what happened and see all the car parts flying past. You could read the license plate on the pickup, which ended up disabled about 30 feet away in the middle of the intersection.
Inexpensive, average network HDD

Pros: It's really cheap (some barebones HDDs of similar size cost more) It's easy to setup It works
Cons: It's on the slow side USB 2.0 and cannot transfer direct from a laptop Sometimes is randomly inaccessible for short times- can cut off a backup
Overall Review: It's a good network storage drive for backups if you're on a budget, but there's definitely faster solutions out there.
Couldn't be more pleased

Pros: Responsive for size Good battery life Nice screen Full Windows 8.1 Comes with Office 2013 Wacom digitizer/stylus
Cons: No SD port cover
Overall Review: The Office key alone is almost worth this alone; Office 2013 is in all likelihood the last non-subscription version of the product. Get it while the getting's good. The digitizer and stylus are great for taking notes and drawing, OneNote 2013 works well with it, as does other programs like Evernote, Photoshop/Paintshop, etc. Some other tablets have digitizers, but no built in stylus. I did go for the 64 GB version, but you can live with 32 if you aren't trying to load tons of programs and games. The tablet can actually run some older games quite well. You just need a BT mouse/keyboard.
Best router I've owned

Pros: Excellent range Outstanding throughput Easy configuration 3 adjustable antennas Plays well with extenders
Cons: None
Overall Review: This is the fastest, most reliable router I've ever owned. It's actually faster at moderate range than some wireless-ac routers I've used (operating in ac mode). The signal is strong enough to cover most of our very big house; where it drops off a wifi extender works fine (some other routers I've used didn't do to well with those).
Decent solar battery

Pros: Good capacity Cheap Slim profile Lightweight Comes with connectors
Cons: Mini-USB input Solar charging is slow/hardly works past 50%
Overall Review: This is a pretty good deal just to use as a battery; think of the built-in solar panel as an extra. Even if left in direct sunlight for extended periods, the panel struggles to charge the battery past 50%. Solar Restore has a similar issue, probably due to the small size of the solar cell. Output is 5v/1A, single port. Input is via mini USB which is a bit inconvenient (hardly any devices use that anymore- I have to keep changing the connectors). It easily fits in a pocket so can be used on the go.
Awesome TV

Pros: Great picture in general 3D works very well Good value Thin and relatively light
Cons: External speakers definitely required Not as sharp as some other 120 hz TVs (could be a pro)
Overall Review: This is a great TV for the price, very nice picture and plays 3D movies (it comes with 4 pairs of glasses). The TruMotion smoothing effect isn't as pronounced as some other TVs, but I actually prefer that- no blur at all just looks weird. This is not priced as a high-end television so this is pretty much to be expected. It's a good compromise either way, though you'll definitely need external speakers- the internal ones are mediocre.
