ASUS 14.0" Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 4GB Memory Windows Vista Home Premium 90NU9A8232F31CQL150Y

Pros: Excellent gaming and processing performance for the price Does not get too hot Nice quality screen Plenty of ports Excellent warranty and duration

Cons: Keyboard should be more sensitive Touchpad buttons are loud and hard to press Fingerprint reader software doesn't work No included word processing software No modem, S-video, or bluetooth Hard-drive comes with 40gB unusable, in a hidden partition

Overall Review: Though there are plenty of cons, the performance, price, and features far outweigh them. I recommend purchasing this product.

Partially works

Overall Review: It charges two devices at once. I could pair it with my phone and set up the FM transmitter, but while plugged in my car does not receive any station via FM radio, including from the transmitter. Could be the circuitry is injecting disruptive harmonics into the car's power system.

Durable

Mee audio Original Series SX-31 In-Ear Earphones for iPod and MP3 Players (black)
Mee audio Original Series SX-31 In-Ear Earphones for iPod and MP3 Players (black)

Pros: Very durable. I've bought four pairs over the last few years, and they've each lasted for about six months with heavy use. The sound quality is amazing for the price, effectively maxing out CD quality. Comes with many earbud sizes for a good fit.

Cons: The cord can be a bit short, as it's optimized for handheld electronics. Newegg sales on this are only about once a year.

Overall Review: When something breaks, it's always either the cord connection with an earbud or the plug. Try not to pull on the cord to make it last most. Should glue back on the silver plastic when it comes off after a few months.

Pros: Very durable - bought two pairs and both still work after a year of regular use. Decent sound quality. Comfortable.

Cons: Does not do much for keeping sound out, only in.

Great

Sony Blu-ray Player BDP-S560
Sony Blu-ray Player BDP-S560

Pros: Plays Blu-ray with the best quality converter. Has HDMI and optical audio. Extra format capabilities are convenient for other media, such as audio and downloaded videos. Wireless works great.

Cons: Takes about an hour to update at first install. Does not support Netflix or other major streaming providers. One of the biggest and heaviest players.

Pros: Inexpensive, decent quality picture, mic works fine

Cons: Focusing manually can get annoying, and the included software, though unneeded, is virtually unusable.

Overall Review: Despite its issues, as long as it works you can't go wrong with this price.
