BROKE TWICE IN THREE MONTHS
I loved this computer for the first week. Then, it died.Just blackout died completely. When I took out the battery, it started right up.Two months later it broke again.Same thing but the battery trick didn't work this time. When I took it in, they said the hard drive was gone.They couldn't even recover any of the data.Getting it repaired took ten days after many, many phone calls to Apple to get me on an expedite list, because the hard drive was on back order!
An amazing laptop!!!
Pros;
FROM A WINDOWS USER.GRADE A FOR MAC OS, B FOR HARDWARE
My first Mac. Switching is like learning to drive a right hand drive car.A little frustrating at times but the MAC OSX is Very well designed and intuitive and user friendly.The upcoming Windows Vista looks a lot like a MAC OS.

Excellent for the money
I received my Sansa not long ago, and I am very happy with the operation and quality of the unit. A great value for the money.

somebody should sue them
Sansa e270 is good untill it syncs good.After awhile it begins to sync bad.And than you will get a problem, real problem.It won't delete what you deleated in WMP, it will reshufle your music, it will make coppies of music which are impossible to delete.In all good player, except SanDisk need to fix their software bags with Sync.

Just got this yesterday
I've only been using it for a few hours and here's some honest negative criticisms of the product.There's no dedicated volume button...if you are in a menu and you want to adjust the volume tough luck...you can still adjust the volume but only on one screen.The battery life indicator sometimes oscillates between half full and 3/4 full...make up your mind...are you half full or 3/4 full?Within an hour of using it, the screen just went black but my music was still playing...I couldn't see what I was doing...I could still adjust the volume but if I started to push random buttons I would have no idea where I am on the screen...the solution? I had to turn it off and turn it back on again...problem solved.I just hope it doesn't do this consistently.Now I wish I could give this 1 star...or better yet none...The first time I charged the product it worked fine...now my computer won't even recognize the player...i'll be returning this for a full refund...Correction: I didn't return it for a refund; Circuit City just replaced it with a new one right away which was nice.Hopefully this one turns out to be better than the last.I really want to rate this product high because the sound quality is excellent/superb and that's all I really care about.The photo/video feature is extra that I don't really use. ...

USB Ports stop working
Yep I agree with many other reviewers about how uncomfortable the headset is. It doesn't take long and my ears really start to ache from wearing them.
It's all about the microphone
I've tried four different headsets with my VoIP (Skype) service and I've learned that the earphones of most headsets have "good enough" sound quality. The problem really is the microphone. Most noise-canceling microphones turn a "Hello" into a muffled "ello". The Logitech USB 350 had the cleanest, clearest sounding microphone of the headsets that I've tried (2 Logitech/1 Plantronics/1 US Robotics). Also the USB connection gives you a more consistent quality from computer to computer. So my advice, compare microphones and don't worry so much about the earphones. I'd recommend the Logitech USB 350.

The best headset for use with Skype
After much research on the web and in retail stores, I decided to buy the Logitech 350 headset. So far so good. It has lived upto my expectations. The sound quality on Skype was so amazing, it feels like you are talking with another person in the room. I have used this headset to listen to music and watch videos on my PC with amazing results. The mic on/off feature is very useful, so is the volume switch. A lot other reviewer seem to have problems with the switch, but mine works perfectly.

not worth the money
Wish I had bought the panasonic model instead.There is nothing to write good about the picture other than it is about the same as a vhs video camera.Go with panasonic.

Amazon Rocks!!!I saved $370!!!
After an untold amount of research for my first camcorder, I visited Best Buy, Walmart, and Circuit City.The cheapest I could find this camcorder was for $799 (just the camcorder!!!).In-step Amazon...for $692 I got:
EASY TO USE
I just bough the camera, is very easy to use, friendly, and the best of all is that i have the still camera with 3 mega pixel.I did my research for several cameras, my original idea was to spend $400.00, but with all the extras i really jump for this one.Irecomend this camera. ... Read more

Do not buy this software!!!
I had the Norton 2005 antivirus on my computer, so 2006 should be no problem, right?Wrong!!!! After >10 hours of on-line "chats" with tech support I finally was able to load this program and eliminate all the "conflicts".. then I tried to send an e-mail...It would not go.... 3 more hours on line chats (one disconnect after about 1 hour...)... still not working!!! Save yourself the agony!Do not buy this product!!!! It is most definately NOT worth the aggrivation!!!

Good service...when it works.
I've been using Symantec's product since right about 1998-2000. I usually bought a new version every 3 years, and just extending the subscription between the time. I've never had any problem with any Norton Anti Virus...so in 2003 I bought the Internet Security suite. I LOVED that program. It worked flawlessly, didn't use up a lot of resources, and I never had any problems with viruses or "blue screens" or what have you.
Norton problems
My auto update feature on the NAV 2006 ceased functioning in March 2006 and after 2 hours of phone time with service in India, and after 3 separate attempts, I was unable to obtain a fix other than manually download some updates.Now my home computer is having glitches and the auto update program has ceased working.I suspect updates from Microsoft are causing conflicts but Symantec is makingno effort to also update its program.I will not by NAV again. ...

Works perfect much better than a joystick
Esactly what I was wanting.When you turn there is resistance (springs I think) and everything works great.If you use flight sims you need this product.Works awsome.

Very cool - super real
I have been a private pilot for more than 20 years.This is a good way to fly whenever you can't.Very cool, super realistic.

Plastic, binding, not at all worth the money
What can I say?The plastic sticks in the assembly, making it really hard to control.

Editorial Review

Sleek, small, and finished in a sophisticated two-tone black-on-black paint scheme, the Logitech Optical Mouse Black is one of the least expensive name brand optical mice in the marketplace. Featuring optical tracking technology, which monitors movement via a tiny light-emitting diode in lieu of a traditional rolling ball, it is more precise and requires far less cleaning than a conventional ball mouse. Moreover, you can use it on practically any flat surface aside from clear glass, thus negating the need for a mouse pad.Read more

Features

• Smooth scroll wheel based on optics
• Contoured design for comfortable use
• Instant setup -- no software drivers necessary
• Black

At this price point i think the many other mice feel more solid than this logitech mouse.
I mainly chose this mouse because I needed one quickly and it was black and matched my set up. I had been using the standard greyish white optical mouse with a scroll wheel and a red light that shined out from under my wrist. This one feels smaller, but still comfortable. However a couple weeks of normal usage made the mouse much less solid feeling. The plastic now mushes as the seems flex slightly in my hand. I decided to have a friend repair the cable of my old mouse. :-/ I am going to donate this mouse to a friend who still has a tracking ball mouse. I like some of Logitechs products and higher end mice. But I would stay away from this mouse. Its not bad, its just not good enough to pick over other mice that cost the same amount.
Works Great
Works great. No software to install, just insert into a USB port and it works. Gret price too.

A decent mouse...
For a mouse valued at $12 and eligible for free shipping on orders worth over $25 (at least it was for me when I got it from amazon.com) this mouse is decent at best.I will be brief as possible in addressing its characteristics.

Works well except for Comcast VOD
I was surprised to see how well this booster worked for me.My cable modem was -13dBmV power level and getting slow inconsistent D/L.Plus analog cable reception was poor on many channels.Popped this on and the modem signal strength went to +3 dBmV and D/L speed rose dramatically.Also, the analog cable TB reception was hugely improved.
very good product
I bought this because I am running 4 TV's in our dorm room off of one cable jack. With this installed inbetween the wall jack and the spliters, it has made the signal better on all of the tvs than when just one was plugged directly into the wall. The main TV is a 25" and the signal looks as good as SDTV can look. If your TV's look less than perfect, buy this item, it will make a big difference. Also buying good quality cables can get rid of any noise you see in the signal once you get it.

Impecible Clarity - Instantaneously
This is not my first signal booster but, it isthe first signal booster to have ever really worked.

Good Motivation and Progress tracker
When I lift weights at the gym, I know exactly how much weight Im lifting, how many repetitions I'm doing and what is my average tempo, so I can track my progress and I keep motivated. With running it wasn't so easy, until now.
Nike and Apple score again
I purchased this product along with the Ipod Nano and the Nike Shox shoes and I absolutely love it.I used to be an avid runner (7-10 miles a day) and was looking for something to motivate me to get back to it.I purchase these products from amazon and recieved them 4 days ago.After calabrating the sport kit and getting used to the shoes I have to report that it works as advertised.
Pleasant Surprise!
I had a Nano iPod, so I figured for $30, what the hey? Why not?

Not good -- poor volume and reception
If you need to hear your calls or want decent reception (at least in Downtown NYC), I would pass on this phone.Sure it looks swell, but even at the highest volume position, callers are barely audible above common street noises.I can't fathom why Motorola hasn't fixed this serious design flaw.
Attracted to the phone because of it's size and slim-ness, but very dissapointed
I bought this phone from Cingular, and while I haven't had any major problems with the carrier, the phone is too fragile for everyday use. I've taken good care of this phone and keep it in a leather case, but it's already acting up. The phone randomly shuts off, especially during calls, even though the battery is charged. It seems as if the battery is secure in it's compartment, so I can't figure out what is wrong with it, beside the fact it's just a poorly designed phone. If size is what you're looking for in a phone, I'd look elsewhere.

Razr doesn't cut it
The slim and attractive appearance is undisputed but the ease of use (menus) and reliability needed more attention.They promptly replaced it, both times it didn't work, including a battery that wouldn't hold a charge after only 10 months of use however the replacement battery won't hold a charge near as long as the previous 6 to 8 phones I've had.I might have understood if it were a cheap phone, but with a hefty price tag (I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid for it), I expected the best and got much less. ...
