For what it is, its pretty good

I had low expectations. I'm a twenty-something creative writing major and I just wanted a book I could get through quickly and get some mild enjoyment out of over my winter holiday. It took me approximatly 5 hours to read (and I'm kind of a slow reader) so it met my first expectation.

As far as being mildly enjoyable it hit the mark there too. Was it genius? No way. Actually as a writing student it was fun to correct his writing mistakes in my head as I went. But I enjoyed it. The book is nearly 170 pages long. The mystery had me going until page 100 when I put it down for the day. That night I woke in the middle of the night and half asleep I figured out the mystery. I finished the book anxious to see if I was right and I was. I literally figured out the mystery in my sleep. But the story was entertaining and the characters mildly interesting. And though I had the mystery all sorted out I was still excited to finish the book and confirm that I was correct.

There was one thing I was a little disappointed in, though its nit picking. I was really excited about this book because it was originally published in 1989. I was so ready for some all out 80's goodness! And it was there, the jock was wearing Converse sneakers like Emilio Estevez in Breakfast Club, a Honda Accord passed them on the street so I looked up a picture cause I just had to see what an '88 Accord looked like! I was having so much fun! Then all of a sudden the main characters IPod is blasting in his ears. WHAT??? I double checked, it was written in 89 and reprinted in 06. What the duce?? To make a long story short from what I can surmise it seems that what they did was they wanted to make the new edition of the book relevant to new generation so they swapped out what was probably a walkman in the original edition to be an IPod and changed some cult following film from the 80's to Lord of the Rings and the music at the school dance to Missy Elliot and Kanye West. They made quick name changes to easy things but the problem with this is that the big picture things couldn't be changed. It would require a whole rewrite of sections of the book. For instance, rather than jump on their home PC's  and connect to the internet they go to the library computer lab to look through old newspapers. It doesn't make any sense and if you don't know that the book was originally published in 89 and they changed things it really makes it confusing and I can imagine readers feeling like the big picture things that happen don't make any sense and is using lack of technology as a bad plot device like in crappy horror movies.

Anyway, overall I really liked the book. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

I like it, I wasn't expecting the highest quality, but it serves its purpose well.

I have mixed opinions on this monitor...on one hand, it works pretty much "as advertised", and since it has all the typical Windows AND Mac keys on a single device, it's great for those of us that need to run both systems. Battery life is about the same as I get from an Apple Wireless keyboard, and I've had no trouble pairing with several different computers.

On the other hand, there are a few other issues that leave me less impressed. For one, the repeat rate seems a little erratic - sometimes it works as expected, but if you're a quick typist, sometimes it seems to get "stuck". But durability is my big complaint - after not even a year, the "A", "S", "D" and "E" have worn off completely (the keys still work fine, but they are now blank). I spend a lot of hours at the keyboard, but I've never seen another keyboard that just had the letters wear off.

Otherwise, this is a unique product - if you don't mind relabeling the keys with a Sharpie once in a while, it might be a good choice.

It's not too much of a big deal. But it's ok.

It serves most of it purposes well.  I browse and surf and twitter and Facebook on this thing, and watch Netflix and youtube, as well.

The graphics aren't the best, but they're good enough if you simply want to watch things and aren't too worried about high-definition and so on.

The sound isn't the best, so get yourself a decent pair of speakers.

Also, the apps are limited.  I really miss Microsoft paint.  App replacements for it are too complicated.

That's the other thing. You really have to know your way around apps. ESPECIALLY if you plan on using this while offline.

There are plenty that you can use for word processing and the like, if you need to do that.

The biggest thing I love about this machine is FINALLY NO VIRUSES or VIRUS UPDATES.  Because it's an obscure OS (operating system) that is discreetly self-updating, I have never had a problem with any kind of malware, viruses, or weird things slowing down the operation.

On the flipside, there are also many software programs you can't download and use because they aren't compatible with the OS. You just have to hope there is a comparable app.

Again, it's perfect for my needs, but if you want to use CD-Rom or use certain certain software, you can forget it.

OH!!! One more thing.

Storage IS NOT a problem because of Cloud.

Switch to online cloud storage and it is MUCH more convienant for you and your machine.  Access it securely anywhere and anytime.

It does exactly what it's supposed to, and it's inexpensive.

Good for what it is - an inexpensive, mildly powerful amp. But let's be honest, you're not buyig this for state of the art, high quality sound and longevity.
Believe it or not, it lasted 4 years of college fraternity parties for me, and then one channel crapped out after I brought it home.
I used it to power two 400W rms peavey speakers and it worked pretty well with a pre amp mixer.
Overall, it's certainly durable (had been dropped numerous times, beer spilt on it etc), but unless you really take care of it, eventually something will go wrong with it.

The biggest complaints that I could register against this device is that it isn't mobile (there are no wheels, so it is intended to sit in place and not be rolled around) and that it is also a bit loud.  Beyond that, it slices, it dices, uh, I mean it shreds up the paper like it is supposed to.  It has a decent capacity for shredded material, it does a decent job of shredding the papers you slide into it, and it will take a decent amount of paper each time you care to shred things in it.  (The promised 14 sheets is a little debatable, as it would be with just about every shredder I've tried.  That number depends entirely on  the thickness of the paper as thicker sheets lower that number, thinner might let you get away with more sheets than that)
I have to snicker a bit at the 1-2 users promise, but whatever there.  I don't see a reason for any limit on that, since the limit is entirely on the number of pages that can be shredded at any one time, and possibly on not running the thing too long in any shred session so it doesn't overheat.
All around, I like this item a lot.  It isn't perfect, but it does well at what it promises.  4 Solid stars.

You get what you buy, I bought it and am pleased with it

It was what I expected, and it is working fine.

It's perfectly fine for what it is, and what I expected it to be - a good, basic entry-level recumbent bike. A couple parts don't completely tighten, but it doesn't really impact performance.

Decent quality, about what I expected for the price I paid

For about 125 dollars, it converts music to a reasonable quality, and is portable enough that it's a good road warrior piece of gear, it's not going to go toe to toe with your discreet DAC/AMP pairings for home use or your 500+ committed DAC/amp combos, but it doesn't really need to either. I largely bought this as a budget piece for laptop and portable use I wouldn't have to stress out about (Your mileage may vary, depending on the device you use for a portable, side-note here). It drives nearly all the gear I own reasonably enough, more power hungry cans like hifimans don't pair well with the built in amp, but with cans like grado (325is and 225i respectively) it pulled out more than enough power to get them closer to their full potential than my devices on-board jacks, and certainly gave them strong volume, I've rarely had to put the volume past half. I can imagine this being a good entry unit for beginning audio enthusiasts, There are some issues with desktop use worth noting, mainly that it may not go all the way up 24 bit/192k quality without some hassle, or in the worst case not at all. I eventually worked out how to get it to go all the way, but know that you may not be, if other reports online are accurate. The build quality is like a lot of other things with this little DAC, of agreeable, and good enough quality, the usb line-in actually has some little notches on the top to hold the connection in place, the volume knob and enclosure feel solid, and the headphone jack isn't loose, and forms a good connection. For more money, there are certainly better units, but at 125 dollars I feel like it represents a competitive, and worthwhile option - it has, with the exception of some struggles to get it working at full quality at the start, met my expectations of it quite well.

Does what it's suppose to do so no complaints.
