This is a good basic laptop for most people. I bought it for a friend who uses it mainly for email, social media, and web surfing. It has a very fast wireless connection, and a big hard drive for storing lots of music and pictures.
The only bad point is that the mouse pad is somewhat quirky and annoying. This is easily solved by using a wireless mouse.

What's great about it: High quality pre-amp inputs, great sound, easy to setup and operate
What's not so great: The included recording software is not very good
We bought this unit to set up a small home recording studio The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a great starter usb recording device for the price. It has 2 high quality pre-amp inputs which can accomodate microphones and/or line/instrument levels. Simply add some good studio monitor speakers, good headphones, and a good quality microphone, and you're all set. We chose the Sennheiser HD-280 headhones and JBL-LSR305 powered studio monitor speakers, in additon to a Shure SM-58 microphone for vocals. At less than $700 for everything, this combination works and sounds great! The only drawback of the Focusrite 2i2 is the included Abelton Lite recording software, which is not very good. We ended up uninstalling it and getting Cubase (which costs around $100) instead.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, excellent 23-inch touch screen display,
What's not so great: No HDMI output, poor sound from built-in speakers
Overall, this HP unit is a very good value for the price. Not many 23-inch all-in-ones can match its components and performance in this price range. The display is very sharp and vivid, the wirelesss keyboard is pretty good, although the wireless mouse is not so good. The only two drawbacks I have found so far are the lack of an HDMI output, and the built-in speakers, which are very tinny and soft, even at maximum output.

What's great about it: Quiet, energy efficient, good size freezer
What's not so great: Design flaw does not allow left door to open independently
Overall, this is a pretty good refrigerator for the price. It does fit in tight spaces, since it is only 30 inches wide. We have had it for about a month now, and are pleased for the most part. Keeps food at the right temperature and runs quietly and efficiently. Our biggest complaint is that there is no way to open the left side door without the right side door also popping open also due to the fold-up mosture seal design. So you have to shut the left side door first and then close the right door back every time you open the left side door! Why have side-by-side doors if they can't be opened separately? Come on Whirlpool, you can do better than this!
This product has... Humidity controlled drawers, Consistent temperature throughout, Lots of door storage, Runs quietly

What's great about it: Keeps away cracks and scratches from screen
What's not so great: Can be a little tricky to install
The first accessory anyone needs to make with getting a new cell phone is not the case but rather a good quality screen protector. Zagg screen protectors are the best. We have them all of our phones and have never had a problem with them.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, great price, good remote, PC input.
What's not so great: Sound is a little harsh and tinny
Bought this TV online for my mother in law on BB Black Friday sale. It was delivered and set up yesterday. After some tweaking, I must say that overall, I am impressed by the picture quality for a TV in this price range. Hooked up via HDMI to a TimeWarner HD cable box at tthe present time. The picture is bright and crisp. The general picture settings I arrived at are: Brightness: 65; Contrast: 45; Sharpness: 20: Color temp: Normal. The TV seems to have a good bit of red push, so the warm setting is too reddish for my taste. The sound is plenty loud enough, but tends to sound a little harsh and tinny at higher volume levels. All in all, my first impression is that this TV was a great buy for the price!
