Solid Entry Level Device
358299
Perfect for commuting and route data/info where you are not as concerned with Power, Cadence, Heart Rate, etc.  I use this on my commuter bike.  I throw it on and it gets the job done.  Small form factor with easy to read data fields.

The device is an excellent feature filled unit. This is premium for just about average price, my device updated from Android Lollipop 5.0 to 5.0.2 when I connected to the internet. This unit is fast enough to create a smooth user experience for regular use and gaming. The phone is full of features that will require a bit extra time to get over that learning curve, especially the camera for the novice. Apps such as clean master really didn't need to be a part of built in system apps. Other than minor bloatware the user experience is on par with most high end devices. No NFC, no problem you pretty much get everything else.

Now the unit was sent in conjunction with Amazon Prime's excellent shipping service so the package arrived in just under 24 hours from the date I purchased it.

This small laptop offers plenty for its price, but at its core it is far from a gaming rig. If you are in the shop for a gaming computer/laptop, stay away. However I bought this primarily to play second fiddle to a personal gaming laptop and it does its job quite well.

The small size offers amazing portability and allows less strain when walking extended distances with a laptop bag or the laptop in hand. The screen is nice and bright and the resolution fits it well. Coming in at just a max resolution of 1366x768, it offers a fairly adequate viewing size and it is sharp. When viewing text I noticed certain characters felt more vibrant than other laptops within this price range.

One other excellent feature on this computer is the battery life. It'll easily outlast the average school day for me. So for a college student looking for just a dependable set-up to do school work on, you can't do "too" much better.

The 1GHz AMD Fusion core pulls its weight, specially when trying to view content that is HD and requires more processing than usual.

Anyway to cut the review short, I would recommend it to anyone.

I guess it goes without saying that this is a pretty entry-level machine for the price.  So let's be clear: for checking email, light browsing of the web, etc - this will do great.  But whoever said it takes 15 seconds to boot is off their rocker - we're talking 45 seconds to a minute before it's at a workable state onto the desktop (from off to desktop).  It comes with Windows 8.1 but needs a boatload of updates (over 120+), and it's taken me over 4 hours of waiting for it to install them (and it's only at 95%).  I'm on a amazingly fast broadband connection (125 MB/s down), too.

That said, it *WILL* play Minecraft if you crank the video settings down in the game and turn off all of the fancy particle effects, etc, so for my 8 year old daughter this is going to do just fine.  It's quiet, and supposedly only consumes 10-20 watts, so that's awesome.  Came with a keyboard and mouse, which was unexpected.  Only a little bloatware installed (McCRAPPY Antivirus, Dropbox, and a few other things that are easily removed).

Solid performance at very good price.  The specs I have tested are spot on, including distortion, noise, and rise time.
However, buy it only as a standalone instrument; the PC communications link is useless.
(A protocol that might work uses hex codes which probably map into Chinese characters.)  The PC utility program for another similar item, which might work here, has been reported as incomplete (allows only one-way communication).
Even though the Amazon listing is for the 2 MHz model, I received the 5 MHz model; no problem for me.
The unit  has enough current to drive a small speaker directly.  The spec says "Output resistance 50 ohm" and I hear a (and view) a 2 kHz sine wave of about 100 mV RMS across the speaker terminals.
Power requires about 5 VDC @ 0.1 A, so battery operation is quite feasible.

This is my first full-fledged NAS and I am mostly happy with it so far.  I have been using this system for a couple of weeks and I haven't experienced the issues others have experienced.  I will update my review if that changes.

Out of the box, I was struck by how little space this item requires.  I was able to place it in a corner near my router.  It's only slightly l wider than the width of a typical hard drive.  It's a bit taller than the two hard drives together in order to fit in the other hardware.  It has a nice little LED readout that gives you updates about the system.  The door to the hard drives is opened with a key.  I would have preferred a latch instead of a key.  The key seems really unnecessary since if someone wanted to mess with the machine, the entire machine could easily be stolen instead.

The build quality is a mixed bag.  I think the on/off switch and hard drive door feel cheaply made, but the rest of it feels sturdy.

I found set-up a little more challenging than some other reviewers.  Transferring files from my computer to the device was easy enough, but configuring everything to my liking was a challenge.  This device can be used for many difference purposes, such as Bit Torrent, which went over my head.  I have a good handle on using it to manually transferr files from my computer to the device and also using the device to access my media from any computer, but beyond that, I am having trouble.  I consider myself good with computers in general, but had never worked with a device like this before, so there was a learning curve for me.

I am happy with this device overall as it gives me an extra place to back up my devices and also easily access media files.  I was able to quickly add it to my network and it seems to be functioning well.  It may be a bit overkill for a typical consumer, but I am finding it useful.

For the price you're paying, this is an extremely solid phone.  It has enough power to it for everyday use of android, and an extremely limited amount of bloatware that leads to a very clean user experience.  In day-to-day use, you will have no problems surfing the web, watching videos, texting, etc.

The touchscreen isn't as precise as a high end phone, but once I had used it for a while I was typing just as easy as on my S6.

The main sacrafice to be had here is a lack of 4g LTE speed.  There is going to be a noticible delay if you need to download a big file on the road.  However, it has not led to anything longer than a few seconds of buffering when streaming music or video unless it's a bad coverage area.  The lack of speed tends to make you a little easier on your data, leading to lots of savings.

The GPS is decently solid, but if you miss a turn it can take a few seconds to recalculate, leading to it screaming to turn down every road you just passed.  A bit annoying, but livable nonetheless.

The sound quality out of the headphone port is pretty good and loud, and the speakers blow most phones out of the water in terms of loudness, with a minimal sacrifice in quality (Let's face it, if you're using your phone speakers, you just need it loud anyway.)

The camera on this phone is advertised as the main attraction, but honestly it's not that good.  It's not bad, just... average for a phone in the price range.  The selfie flash is a neat feature, but that's all it really brings to the table in that aspect.

Additional Pro's:

Crazy long battery life
Has a flashlight on both sides
Nice looking screen
Vanilla Android
Extremely Sturdy
Removable Battery (Lookin' at you, Samsung)
Carrier Unlocked

Neutral Features:
Onscreen home/tab/back buttons
Plastic Case
Decently heavy

Cons:

No NFC/Fingerprint Sensor
Not enough power for heavy gaming or solid VR
Touchscreen not extremely sensitive

This is a great phone for somebody looking to switch to a prepaid carrier like Cricket Wireless.  I've sliced my bill in half using this phone, and the experience isn't that far degraded from a high-end device.

The 11.6 in. ASUS K200MA Touchscreen Laptop is quite similar to other 11.6 inch laptops in size and appearance, except that it is a bit chunkier and has a textured case which is easy to grip.  Build quality is good and it feels fairly solid in the hand, weighing in at about 3 lbs.

The touchscreen and touchpad are fairly responsive and the RAM and processor are adequate for a small portable, not aggravating, though certainly not zippy.  The standard keyboard is responsive but has no backlighting.

The screen is attractive if not very bright even on the highest setting, but in return, the 3,000 mAh battery life is over five hours after cycling the battery once.  The AC adapter and plug are combined and the wall wart is fairly slim.

The camera and speakers are very functional.  Sound quality is above average for a laptop in this price range.  There is the standard 3.5mm audio jack for headphones or external speakers.

The hard drive is partitioned with 258 GB available for user data.  That's a significant amount in light of the ubiquitousness of cloud storage.

There is an ethernet jack, often missing from similar portables, and of course Wi-Fi, although no Bluetooth.  I frequently use Bluetooth accessories such as speakers and mice and am a bit puzzled by this omission.

There are VGA and HDMI ports and two USB 2.0 ports, but only one USB 3.0 port.

I am not fond of Windows 8.1, but this computer at least shipped with a current system that required minimal updates.  Every time that touch keyboard pops up on the touchscreen just above the physical keyboard, my mind boggles.  Why?  I also spend a lot of time starting over in touch menus and going through the same sequences again and again.

Overall, a decidedly unexciting laptop, but one that is very serviceable, about what one would expect in this price range.  I did review an ACER Aspire V5 a few months ago.  This ASUS is comparable in function, although much slimmer and more attractive.

Set up is easy, with prompts and simple directions. Plug in the all-in-one, batteries into both keyboard and mouse, then plug their USB receivers. You will need a Microsoft account if you don't already have one. It's simple to create one. The 500 GB hard drive might be small, depending on your storage needs but that can be overcome with using an external hard drive for extra storage if needed.

The display is gorgeous! The screen is large and great for watching videos, reading and looking at pictures. Even though this is a desktop computer, it is fairly portable. The wireless keyboard and mouse keep the desk area neat and quick to move if needed. It's nice not having to find a place for a tower and not having all the cords that go with it. There is one cord. That's it!

The screen load is quick, even on our house wi-fi. The mouse moves smoothly across the screen. The keyboard is basic and works well as expected. The sound is good, not amazing but I wasn't expecting amazing. Still, the speakers are better than what I expected and work well for listening to music or watching videos.

At this price point, you get a lot of machine and a great monitor

I was pleasantly surprised with the Linksys AC3200. It's not the most feature packed, advanced user device, but for the other 90%, it should fit nicely. Here's what I like about this device, and why I think you should give it a close look:

1. Speed and coverage. First and foremost for most people, speed (real and potential) of the wireless network and coverage throughout a home are key. After a week of use, this has given me as good speed and possibly a little better coverage/signal strength in my home (about 1700 sq ft). My router sits upstairs above the garage, and is not centered (probably a 1/3:2/3 split), and signal is good from end to end of my home. I originally started with the device on some metal shelving, but moved it to sit on the floor (which it does nicely with the built in stand), and noticed a stronger 5MHz signal throughout the house due to the re-positioning. Regardless of the router's position (shelves or floor), I was still able to realize maximum transfer speeds over the internet (60Mbit down/ 4 up), and streaming media played without pauses.

2. Interface/software. The web interface on the router is clean and simple. It might be too simple for advanced users, and does not include some higher level functions such as a VPN option, but for just about every other use it should suffice. I enjoyed navigating the quick-responding menus and ease of setting up/configuration options. There's also a nice, built in help system that works as expected, though still could use some additional information of the purpose of choosing one option instead of another. Most of the configuration options are available - WiFi advanced settings, parental control options, Guest WiFi networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz for two total), various options to configure to your provided, depending on your type of service (including typical fibre options), device use options (gateway, actual router, access point, etc), and a "QoS" option named "Media Prioritization". Missing is a remote access option to access the router from the internet when not on your home network - I'm hoping that this just means you (or anyone else) cannot access the router from the internet, rather than the setting is in an "always on" state. A picture is attached to show the interface.

3. Misc. The device looks great and stylish. The antennas are awesome - a smaller size, and well designed in how they pivot and twist (no more floppy antennas!). I have not played with the app functionality of the router, and there doesn't seem to be many interesting options (a total of three) at the moment, so for now, it's more gimmicky than anything, but holds potential in the future.

Summary Pros:
- great speed
- great signal coverage
- simple to setup and configure
- user interface

Pros:
This is a solid, fully functional tablet for a very good price.  While it'll chug on the more poorly-optimized games out there (Hearthstone), for the vast majority of apps and games you're sacrificing very little for the budget compared to other tablets even remotely in its price range.  Good Wifi connectivity, decent specs, amazing price.

Cons:
The USB connection is very finicky.  You barely tap the cable or move the tablet at the wrong angle and it will connect and disconnect from the computer a dozen times.

If you have a keen eye, expect some scuffs, smudges, misalignment, bleeding lights, and general indications of touch-and-go construction.  While such issues are common for this price range, I definitely recommend dealing with a shipping source you trust in case you DO encounter a DoA or other extreme defect.

The sad truth of Android means that testing is done on a very narrow range of devices and when using a device (like this) that is outside of that range you're left to the manufacturers and their "good enough" mentality for software and firmware support.  As an example, I tried my darnedest to find and install compatible Windows USB drivers (not needed for moving files back and forth between computer and the device, but needed for connecting developer debug bridges and for performing manual commands via the computer such as when rooting the device), but I gave up about 10 hours in and just resigned to using Linux when I needed to perform such actions.  "Universal" solutions fail and device-specific queries offer (as of the time of writing) dead ends.  And while 99% of apps that should work with this device do, I've encountered a few unfortunate games and apps that were working with a previous version of this tablet (Model X7, running Android 4.4 Kitkat) and its firmware but do not work with this one.

As another, less-forgiving user mentioned, there's something odd about the firmware.  It's not rooted in the traditional sense (it has no access to su), but it has elevated privileges.  I'm not quite savvy enough to know what this means for the ultimate usability of the tablet (other than that they probably cut corners making the firmware), but the failing signatures showing up in logcat are a little unsettling.  I doubt it poses any realistic security risk, but it might be the cause of some of the experienced software incompatibility.

Had this laptop for several months now. So far very happy with it, although annoyed at absence of a force-gpu function in the BIOS menu, due to it utilizing AMD Enduro/PowerXpress technology. (Although admittedly that same technology allows for stellar battery life.)

Bought from Ebay, factory refurbished with the FHD 1080p display, 4GB RAM, 8850m GPU and i5 4200U CPU.

As with all laptops, it arrived with some degree of preinstalled bloatware from the manufacturer, although thankfully inoffensive enough that it could be removed without reformatting, and no deeply rooted uesless proprietary anti-viral/malware software thank god.

While a full reformat is not required, I would heavily advise Upgrading to windows 8.1 and uninstalling the display driver for the 8850m discrete GPU and redownloading a newer version, either from Dell's website of the generic AMD drivers operate fine, and being newer will give you better performance in intensive applications.

Once I got past the modest hurdles outlined, it's been nothing but positive experiences.

When it comes to games, this machine operates with far beyond it's similarly priced brethren, giving high framerates in modern games at high settings, despite the modest CPU.

The display is superb for the price, high potential contrast with full blacks, substantial brightness and smooth video. Points removed for the lack of an HDMI out though.

Case is reasonably sturdy, had a rough, textured plastic bezel around the display and underneath, and brushed black aluminium plate on the back of the display and keyboard/touchpad surface area. As well as that there is an easily accessed service hatch where you gain entry to the RAM and HDD for easy fixing/upgrades if you're so inclined.

If you're looking for a cheap, sturdy laptop that lasts a long while on battery, that your kids can freely entertain themselves on when you're busy, this is highly recommended. You can't do much better if you want a laptop for this cheap.

If you want a convertible laptop but aren't willing to shell out a couple grand for a state-of-the-art gadget, this'll do. I primarily used it in tandem with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter to stream my word processor to my big screen.

The touch screen is as responsive as a mid-range Android smartphone. Lag was minimal. The standard Windows 10 install and chipset allowed me to run Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop but not without a hit in speed.

This is good for home use and short-term portable use (note-taking in class, for example; this setup works especially well with touchscreen-friendly note apps like One Note and Evernote).

I got this as an inexpensive Windows 10 device for playing non-3D games with my friends. It excels at the task, playing a variety of Steam games flawlessly (Samurai Gun, ROCKETS^3, FTL, Axiom Verge, and Nidhogg, to name a few). We even tried The Witness, which is a 3D game, and got a decent frame rate on Medium quality settings, which was more than I expected from the Intel HD 5500 GPU. Overall this is an excellent device which meets or exceeds my expectations for a lower-end gaming PC. I'm sure it would also excel as a media device. Remember you need to supply your own RAM, SSD, and Windows license.

This is a very capable entry level laptop, it's based on the Ivy Bridge Architecture, basically this is a Core i3 with neither Hyperthreading nor Turbo Boost.

It comes with a very nice, glossy 14 inch with the same resolution as the 15.6 inch, meaning you get more pixels per inch resulting in a very nice screen experience.

This machine has 2 slots for RAM sticks but only one is occupied, meaning that to upgrade to 8gb all you have to do is add a second stick. The RAM type is DDR3

You'll find a nice surprise, this laptop has an Optical Drive, HDMI and VGA port. Sadly there's no Bluetooth, but solvable with a dongle if you really need it.

This one is not touchscreen, but that's really gimmick for me.

On the USB department, there is only 2 of them, one is 2.0 and the other 3.0.

There is really no competition, no other laptop at this price point can match the performance. Price wise, the closest is the chromebook but this is one way better than a chromebook

OK.  So the assumption is that you know what you need and are not under-buying your requirements.  The resolution on this unit is quite adequate for my purpose, but I probably wouldn't showcase it in my living room as an alternative to my Sony LED TV.  That being said, the price/performance points on this unit are admirable.  It does have a built in speaker, but if you care about sound quality you'll go for an external amplifier.  The interface is easy and intuitive.  Accessories are a little pricey, so you may want to do some shopping around as $75 seems steep for a shoulder bag. The most perplexing feature is the VGA pass-through that allows you to both project and view on your PC at the same time.  Not sure that I would ever need this.
