Set up worked fine.. started dropping out almost immediately and only became more frequent. It has become necessary to unplug and restart almost daily...Don't bother...

Looks good, works great. I can plug my external hard drive into the usb port and always have my data available to any computer on my network and backups are a cinch. I highly recommend this product. If it had a printer port for non-wireless printers it would be perfect!

This headset is spectacular! I know it has a heavy price tag, but I can honestly say that it is worth every penny you pay for it. It is incredibly comfortable to wear, with padding all around ear and also on the bridge that goes over your head. The adjustable rails that hold the headphones in place is sturdy and does not wear out, which will allow for extended use. The mic boom that comes down from the left side rotates 270 degrees, BUT it is not flexible, so that may be irritating for some, but I don't mind so much. The wire connecting from headset to computer is so long! I would say that the wire is approx. 10 feet long. I can freely move around my room, and into the bathroom :) and still have slack in the wire. The wire is also cased with fabric which provides better protection than a plastic casing. Trust me, this headset has already withstood the chewing of a puppy and the wires are still protected! It does have volume control that has a clip on it and it also has a quick Mic: On/Off

I purchased two of these drives for a home server. After I installed them, I couldn't get them to format no matter what I tried. The format would go for hours and finally abort. The motherboard was only about a year old, but I ended up downloading the latest BIOS update and applied it. After that, everything worked great!
One thing to BEWARE - The first drives I purchased were shrink-wrapped, but when I got them home and opened them, they ended up being 20GB Maxtor IDE drives. Somebody must have pulled a switch and returned them. I was able to get replacements at another Best Buy. Word of advice, open the boxes while still in-store to make sure they are the right drives.

For a Gigabit "N" router I expected to at least be able to pull 500+ MPBS, and would like it to get a solid 1,000, like it is very capable of doing. The problem is that they maxed its speed (Wired or not) at 300 MPBS. I don't really have any use for anything over 150 anymore, but I'm sure when I upgrade my Home Theater system and build my new desktop I might want to go with something that gets at least 600. I could pay $50.00 and buy the D-Link version of this and that has some outrageous speed that I think I would enjoy. Not that you, or anyone else for that matter would be able to tell the difference unless they tried. Other than that, it is an excellent piece of Wire-less technology that is ever so simple to set up and run. I've always trusted Net Gear because of its ease, and security, and in those two aspects this product cannot be beat.

I entered the store to buy another computer but left with this after some knowledgeable sales people sold it to me. Great Laptop, love the OS and the keyboard. Seems to be pretty fast, comes with remote so you can manipulate it away from keyboard. Battery life is maybe 2+ hours, I came from a laptop with 12 cell battery to this one so i was spoiled. Overall a very nice computer for the price, especially if you don't want a huge screen.

A great invention that replaces an entire computer as long as you have a central server for media streaming. Audio and video sound and look great and setup was a snap. I stream 1080P movies through powerline network and they play perfectly with no stutter. Only issue is I have 10 shared drives on my server but the box only displays 5 of them, still trying to find out why...perfomance would be five stars otherwise. Highly recommend!

I got this machine for my mother when hers would no longer power on. It was a huge step up in speed, and ease of use from Windows XP, a Pentium 4 and 1.5 Gb of RAM, and I think in time she'll see all the little time savers 7 has to offer as I have. The boot time is wicked fast, and I know ASUS makes a quality motherboard, because it's always my first choice in any custom computers I build. This was my first use of a "new" Pentium baseline processor, and of course it's two cores now, and uses a smaller die than the older P's. Comparing it to my own previous Pentium D it's obviously much faster. To the previous reviewer complaining about the DVDR open button being hidden, look at the drive door It has a little "push" in the corner to open the tray. Couldn't be simpler, and having uniform doors on the face just keeps the case neat and clean looking. Feature wise, the only thing I had to do was add a fax modem, and fortunately, this machine still has a couple of free PCI slots, so I was able

This product obviously is not on the high end of design nor does it come fully loaded with an array of features. However if you are looking for a basic LCD monitor for a desktop and you don't need all the bells and whistles then this monitor is the best buy! Excellent pic quality but right from the box it looks pretty ugly. You must tweak the settings and be sure to go to your control panel in windows and set to high res. if you previously had a standard monitor. Makes a huge difference

This is the first laptop I've ever had, and I absolutely love it. The display is incredible, the spaced-out keyboard is great, the outside of the laptop looks amazing, and the graphics card actually isn't too bad, I've already installed Call of Duty 4 on it, and it works fine! It's the best performing and best looking laptop I have ever seen, and I'm not just saying that because I have one! If you're looking for a high-performance, portable laptop, this is the one for you!

Bought this on sale for $34+ shipping. The next week it was listed at BB for $50. For home use this list price is to high. My brother-in-law bought a MS webcam, but a cheaper model and it works just as good. Audio is great. I am about 2ft from the webcam and I talk normally. If you can get this webcam on sale buy it. Or wait until it goes on sale.

If you are buying a labtop for the first time or just replacing the one you have this computer has it all, and the price is not bad either. With the 4 gb DDR3 memory and the 500 md harddrive is more than enough for everyday needs. Also the built in Webcam, WiFi and 17.3" screen are a added bonus. With Windows 7 as the operating system, it is really no different than Vista. There are only a few difference between the 2 OS, should make for an easy transition.

This machine does everything I need it to, and does it well.
I could do without the glossy patterned finish, however - other people seem to like it, but I've got a "thing" about fingerprints. That's not really a big deal, because everything else about the system works well.
I didn't buy it for gaming or 3d renders, but since it's Windows 7 (and therefore DirectX 11) I ran a 3d test on it. Not good. Very slow. However, this is pretty much the case for most sub-$1000 notebooks anyway.
Also, the included stylus comes with a tether cord. That might be useful for some, but I didn't like the asthetics of a string hanging off the machine, so I didn't install that tether. I'm just careful not to misplace the stylus.
I have other notebooks as well, and find myself using this the most lately.

Overall, this is a good product with this price. But I am still dispointed with the quality still. I got one two days ago, as soon as I tested it the same night, I found one of the speaker was not working. I brought it back to bestbuy the next day to exchange. Their technician found both of the speakers were not working. Anyway, I got and exchange without extra charge. The other thing I dont like is the touchpad. It is not smooth at all, very hard to control.

To start off, I already love this thing. For 830 bucks, you get a laptop that has the battery life, portability, and heat dispersion equal to a multimedia notebook, but the ability to play some decent games and movies as well. It's very sturdy, and very light too, much lighter than my old IBM Thinkpad which is actually smaller. 64 bit Windows 7, 4 GB of RAM, upgradeable to 8GB, a decent processor, decent battery life. The 210M graphics card enables me to play HL2 on full settings with an average of 40fps, easily playable. Killing Floor on high with no AA gets about 40fps as well. Portal on high gets 50fps. On low settings this could even play more taxing games like Assassin's Creed or Prototype, etc. The keyboard is very easy to type on, though could use a numpad! Comes preloaded with some fun programs for webcam use, as well as Norton and Office trial. Plays Blu-Rays too, though you wont get much out of it if you don't play it on a HDTV with the built in HDMI output. I tried it on my 42"

This is a great lap top, convenient and light weight, it is my second Gateway computer, I will not trade it for any other computer out there. It does basically the same thing that I will end up paying more and I pay less for it. I want to congratulate Gateway for putting out a great product like this. Keep up the good work.
Job well done.

Pros: encouraging, positive feedback, getting to choose the length of workout.
Cons: not challenging, not very interactive, WAY too many Rest periods.
I'm lucky that I decided to go on Ebay to buy this, and was able to buy it brand new for $5. I wouldn't have wanted to spend more on it!This game would probably be good for a beginner. I have Wii Fit, and that was great after I had my second baby as a transition back into exercise, but I bored with it quickly, and wasn't very challenged. Then I got Gold's Gym Cardio, which still is a favourite and can get me sweating in no time. Then came EA Sports Active, which kicked my butt, and really got me seeing results. (I would do Active, Gold's Gym, Yoga, Active, Gold's Gym Mon-Fri, and take the weekends off)
Then I bought My Fitness Coach. While the fact remains that it really is like a video workout collection rather than a game, I was okay with that aspect.
I'm not impressed with the low-intensity of the exercises. Half of your workout is "rest periods" What is the point of that? I haven't broken a sweat yet with it, and doubt I will. I've tried to increase the difficulty, but

Save your money on this one boys and girls..... It does not protect any vital parts of the Pre. It covers the back and the very edges and that is it. There is no screen protection at all. And if you try to use it with a ZAGG invisible shield then you can put the back plate on but the front wont fit without modifying.
The only reason we keep it is because we have 2 Palm Pre's and this help to identify what one I a grabbing on the way out the door.
