Superb choice for the mobile type

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 04:39:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this PC because my main laptop is an HP dv9500t, an 8+ pound, 17" behemoth, and lugging it back and forth from the library was not only a burden because of all my books but packing it up was a pain as well. This new ASUS EeePC solves that...

Sweet keyboard that is a pleasure to type on...and its backlit!

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 02:02:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I needed a keyboard to replace my 6 year old Logitech Desktop Ultra-X keyboard (slim keyboard with gray body and black laptop-like keys with ultra fast response) because of failing keys. I also really wanted a back-lit keyboard. Even though I...

Excellent card (picture not accurate, though)

Wed, 7 Jan 2009 09:34:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - If you want to see an accurate picture, look at the picture for the HVR-1600 1101 on epinions. Like the 1101, the 1183 has 3 coax inputs (ATSC antenna, NTSC cable and FM tuner) one SVideo input and red/white RCA audio inputs.In the...

excellent little desktop pc

Fri, 8 Aug 2008 17:03:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this because i wanted to run an Intel Core2Duo media/tv server 24/7 without worrying about the amount of energy it uses. Full desktop PC's require 300W, or even 400W to operate. This little machine includes a 100W power supply which is...

Excellent enclosure for 3.5" SATA HD's

Sat, 17 May 2008 16:03:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - My standalone Maxtor external hard drive was failing so I pulled it apart and got the hard drive out. Confirming that the drive was working fine (and the Maxtor chassis was the problem) I sought to find a replacement SATA enclosure for the drive. I...

Excellent capture card for that free expresscard slot

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:21:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I got this with my HP dv9500t laptop which I bought from HP.com. It retails for $180 I think, but as an addition to a customized laptop it is $130. Although the name here on Epinions says its a capture card, it is in fact a tv tuner card, a digital...

Great portability, looks like an iBook, but poor battery life

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:08:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - You will see two ASUS S37S model numbers on here: 90NMLI721300000L202Y 90NMLI721300900L201Y And you will also see two ASUS S37E model numbers: 90NMKI121300000L202Y 90NMKI121300A00L201Y The only difference I was able to determine was that the...

One of the better desktop PCI software-encoding capture cards

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:52:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this card when it was brand new technology, back in summer 2002. At that time it was $65 (shipped). It was one of the best purchased I ever made. I think that this item is still sold by leadtek, but they have since made an updated version...

Beautiful screen. Very cheap 24" LCD worth the money.

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:30:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this on black friday (Nov07) and have been pleased with it since day 1. It has a beautiful screen. It really is something to marvel at especially if its your first time with a widescreen on a desktop. Ive had widescreen laptops, but...

I used the dv9000 for a decent period of time before HP replaced it with a dv9500 because of...

It is a nice little toy if you dont mind mouse pads

Sat, 3 Nov 2007 02:46:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I got this as a free gift (along with matching illuminuate mouse, model 1650-52BK) after purchasing a laptop. Interestingly, the one I got has the Intel logo on the mouse and keyboard. So when i went searching on epinions to find the products to write...

Excellent laptop, but it is big and heavy!

Fri, 2 Nov 2007 18:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this laptop back in late 2005 for my brother. He wanted a replacement for his current laptop (a POS sager 3790) and he wanted it to be a nice desktop replacement. Being the first time looking in the 17" market, I looked for the best deal at...

Excellent machine, but newer dv9500t model fixes some known issues with this machine

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:21:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I was going to write a review last week about this machine, and I was going to start off saying how it was good that i waited because I incurred problems which will make me rate this poorly. By wiaint another week things have changed yet again, so...

A good laptop to give as a gift

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:57:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - First off, let me preface by saying that I didn't buy this PC. My mom's cousin did and I have been tasked with moving all of his data to it. So I got a chance to fool around with it and play with everything. I told him to buy it because it looked...

My second ipod - much much better than ipod mini

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 13:55:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - My first iPod was an iPod mini. It had fair battery life to start, only held 4GB and was pretty big (in comparison to the iPod nano). Within a few months the battery life went from fair to pss-poor. And with how much I listen to music (quite...

Antec NoteBook Cooler 75004: Does its job wonderfully, but chews up laptop rubber pads

Wed, 23 May 2007 15:01:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought this because I like using my laptop in bed, but the laptop gets so hot sometimes that it will just shut itself off. I bought this for $15 at Staples when it was on sale, and it has been a well spent $15. It keeps my laptop MUCH cooler than...

You really get what you pay for here: an awesome HDTV

Sat, 10 Mar 2007 07:40:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - We first had bought the Zenith Z20LCD1A from CircuitCity since it was on sale for $230, and we figured we only needed a 20" TV since we have standard def, analog cable. Well, after finding out how crappy the TV was (decent video quality, crap sound...

Excellent DVD player which supports DivX...

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 06:28:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - When it comes to electronics, I am mostly experienced with PC products. And I am well aware that mostly all PC products are the same, and the price differences usually reflect products which can guarantee one thing over another, whether it be guarantees...

Netgear is the best router company, hands down

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 05:36:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I have used a Linksys WRT54GC (which USPS lost in transit to Linksys for an RMA...thanks USPS) and a Hawking HWR54G in the same exact setup as I have the Netgear WGT624NA currently in. Of them all, the Netgear has been the best so far. (Netgear puts...

PNY 512MB Attaché USB 2.0 Flash Drive512 MBUSBPortable (PFD512U20RFFT): Theres a reason why these are cheap and have rebates from Staples

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 23:20:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - The reason why these PNY units (not necessarily just the 512MB unit of this type but any size, 1GB, 2GB, etc.) are cheap is that they are cheaply made... I bought mine back in November 2005 on black friday when Staples was selling them for $10 after...

Excellent 22" natural flat CRT. 2048x1536@75Hz...mmm

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 22:21:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I obtained this monitor brand new from Gateway with the purchase of my Gateway Select 1200 computer back in June 2001. So I guess this can be seen as either a $0 or a $2000 monitor. I think the MSRP at the time was $600-$700 or so. First off, this...

Sound great but are not 100% digital as advertised.

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 21:37:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought a Gateway Select 1200 desktop 5 years ago and received these speakers with the system. So you can either look at it as $0 speakers or $2000 speakers...haha! They are advertised as being digital speakers, however they are not completely digital...

Awesome sound and design...pinches top of ears though

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 05:53:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - I bought these earphones after I saw a review of a DVD player written on a website like MSNBC. The guy was reviewing some portable DVD player at Walmart and mentioned that to compliment the excellent DVD player he suggested buying the KSC50. He...

The original in optical mice...or at least it feels like it.

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 02:57:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - Im not particularly sure if you can still buy this mouse in stores like Staples, but Im sure it still exists online. It should be relatively cheap given its release date. In short, it is the most simplistic mouse on the market, and that suits people...

I made the XP driver on DriverGuide...so it works in XP

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 16:19:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tokar - When you buy this product you are given a CD with the drivers. Unfortunately the driver is made for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4 and 2000. The version of this driver is 2.29.0.1. It works great in Windows 2000. I used this product in Windows 2000 for...
