What a gas

TATUNG TICT-1500W Induction Cook Top with Stainless Steel Pot
TATUNG TICT-1500W Induction Cook Top with Stainless Steel Pot

Pros: The great thing is I had some compatible cookware and didn't know it. I can boil eggs in 20 min flat. Try that on a glass top.

Cons: no precise heat adjustment. There is just 6 levels from simmer to high. 212 degrees is somewhere between level 2 and 3.

Overall Review: I spend less time in the kitchen. There is a learning curve like any other new stove.

ASUS Google Nexus 7 Tablet 32GB - Brown
ASUS Google Nexus 7 Tablet 32GB - Brown

Pros: Beautfully built. Simply the best tablet you can buy for the money. Runs fast. Very responsive. My wife loves it. Windows 8 looks like Jelly Bean. Windows may start loosing their market share of Jelly Bean is released for X86. The email client imported my hotmail account without a burp. Now I can truly say that the Microsoft mobile mouse 6000 is the best thing to come out of Microsoft in years.

Cons: No expandable storage - but who cares with constant backup and cloud storage.

Overall Review: get one or two. I have gone google over Jelly Bean. Voice recognition is totally nice. Who needs a keyboard anymore? You don't even have to talk to it like a deaf great aunt.

OEMs

Foxconn M61PMP-K AM3 NVIDIA MCP61P Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Foxconn M61PMP-K AM3 NVIDIA MCP61P Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Here is the deal Foxconn makes the motherboards for all the big OEMs, even Apple. They have few QA problems because they are held to higher standards. I have had this board for over a year. Not one bug. It just runs like you would expect a Dell or HP or Apple product to run. Customer service is great if there is a real problem. The website is good.

Cons: One thing about compatibility - there is always going to be a certain video board that won't work with a certain motherboard. Presentation can be a blue screen, a freeze, or a total reboot. No manufacturer can say that there board is totally compatible. I feel that Foxconn makes a better effort to inform their customers better than some of the rest.

Overall Review: I am writing this review using a Foxconn motherboard that happens to be in a Dell.

Thanks a lot Newegg

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card GV-R645SL-1GI
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card GV-R645SL-1GI

Pros: The Card is fine and works great.

Cons: NO Mail-in Rebate. Nothing. When I went to print the form from the Newegg website. There was nothing on it. Don't ever count on a rebate ordering from Newegg. Thanks for nothing, Newegg. Maybe I have to go to the Big "A" to get my rebate form.

Overall Review: Since most mail-in rebates want you to send the bar code off the box, I waited to get my rebate form from Newegg until I received the item. Big mistake. I didn't see it when I ordered my card and I don't see it now. What is the story, Newegg.
