This is one of those items which are hard to go into great detail about. You plug it in, it sets up, you use it. I purchased this particular unit based on it's comfortable price, desktop footprint, and manufacturer (LG) - I seem to buy a lot of LG. It was needed for blue moon use with my laptop (no optical drive). It's mostly designated to the back of the desk next to the backup drive. This doesn't have Blue-ray capability, but I didn't need that feature, which also kept the cost more where I wanted it. Priced at four stars - nothing is ever inexpensive enough for me. Compatibility at four stars - worked for me, I have no idea regarding other match ups.
The USB 3.0 4-Port Mini Hub allows for up to four USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480Mb/s) and 1.1 (12Mb/s) devices. It works with high-bandwidth Super Speed USB 3.0 devices, such as webcams, flash drives, video surveillance cameras, digital video cameras, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smart phone, tablets, and iPad.
I'm reviewing this unit after having purchased and installed it about a week ago. In that the nature of this item is basically works/doesn't work, I feel I'm not jumping the gun on this one. I needed an expansion on my ultrabook (two 3.0 USB ports available) as my highly portable laptop has found itself fairly well wired in when on the desk at my home office. Four ports on this j5create hub is just enough for my needs; an external hard drive, a printer, and my cooling pad (still unsure about that one, but it makes me feel better knowing I'm at least trying to keep my HP cool). The only device that didn't work without freezing and skipping was the wireless mouse. But with a little research I've discovered that 2.0 mice don't always work well through a 3.0 hub. So back into the computer it went, which is where it should be anyway as the mouse goes where the computer goes. What I would pass on to potential USB port hub seekers is to assess what your needs are. This unit includes an optional A/C power cord which I do use for my needs. Non A/C powered hubs, those only running on your computers USB port, may be underpowered for certain demanding peripheral devices. Check the specs.

What's great about it: Size and ease of use.
What's not so great: Four stars as I haven't owned it long enough.
The HD280 Professional is Sennheiser's most significant closed, circumaural headphone to be introduced in years. Designed to exceed the demands of the professional environment, the HD280Pro boasts extremely robust construction combined with extensive features that meet the requirements of today's most demanding applications. The unique collapsible design combined with swiveling ear cups, offers maximum flexibility in any application.
I was hoping to find headphones in a decent mid-ground between too inexpensive and way too much and these fit the bill. These Sennheiser, like the Audio-Technica I also have, are considered studio headphones which is said to mean they deliver a true representation of the sound as recorded vs. "audio headphones" which create a slightly broader range. Am I such an audiophile that I can really tell the difference. No. But what I can say is I've been pleased with these headphones to date, enjoying the fullness of sound they provide.
LG LCS1112ST Mid-Size Microwave: Make easy meals to welcome your family home. Hassle-free cooking buttons let you cook and warm food with the touch of a button, while the energy-saving setting turns off the display after 5 minutes of non-use, dropping power consumption to less than 0.1 watts.
I do my best to make purchases which offer me the best quality for price. With microwaves I always seem find my way to the LG brand. This unit compares closely to the previous LG micro's I've owned which is perfect for our use. The reheating to cooking ratio around here is about 80/20% so this model with it's features is perfect. Build quality is very good, especially with the door/hinge assembly (the most physically used part), which I found a little sloppy or even difficult to open on a few other brand models. You wouldn't think so, push the button - door opens, but it's true. My only real complaint comes with longevity. It's now the nature of the beast to have lower price points coupled with a shorter life expectancy. My first microwave lasted 22 years, but was pricey. I've had 2 new microwaves in the past 4 years since it's demise, so with this now being the 3rd, I'm realistically expecting this model to carry me sometime into 2016.
