Pros: Great deal for the money. Low end machine but low cost!
Cons: Ships with a BALL MOUSE!!! I didn't even know they made those anymore! As others have said... bloatware. But that helps keep the cost down and you can uninstall it.
Overall Review: Slow startup for the first time as it loads bloatware but most know how to get rid of it.
1 in 9 bad
Pros: Good price.
Cons: 1 out of 9 was bad. Inexcusable IMO. Hope the others hold up. It makes me worry about the reliability of my backups.
not poe standards compliant
Pros: can't think of a single pro
Cons: This kit does not conform to poe standards to the injector and splitter will not work with any other injector or splitter or a poe switch. They need to be used as a set and a set only. Very foolish design and I wish the product description would have said so. Deserves zero eggs. Newegg is partially at fault here as well for the description.
2 DOA out of 6
Pros: Large, cheap.
Cons: Poor viewing angle. On my last order of 6 of these, 2 were DOA.
Overall Review: This monitor fills the need for those who want a big monitor cheap. It's nowhere near a high quality monitor though.
Pros: Cheap, runs ok.
Cons: Only about half of the keys on the keyboard worked. I threw it away rather than bother asking for a replacement. Not worth my time.
Overall Review: These things are used computers that have been wiped and reinstalled with xp. They come with a new but very cheap mouse and keyboard. The one I got has a schools name that comes up during the bios post. There is no way to remove it from the bios. Supposedly there is a utility that will change it. Just barely worth what I paid for it.
Terrible viewing angle
Pros: Nice big bright display. Cheap.
Cons: The viewing angle is terrible. If you move your head by a couple of inches the colors start changing. Not very crisp.
Overall Review: I've bought around a dozen of these and have been putting them on our employees desks. No one has complained. Then I replaced my old 1600x1200 samsung with one and the difference was immediate. The samsung viewing angle is super huge. This thing is pathetic. I'm actually surprised and never noticed a problem till I started using one myself. Don't buy it.
