This laptop is near the top of your budget, but in my opinion this is one of the better options out there for business. ASUS usually puts out a good product and they are one of the few companies that still have a good customer service system.

--640GB Hard Drive that runs at 5400RPMs
--6GB of RAM installed that is expandable up to 8GB of RAM

When it comes to mobility I find it hard to believe you can find anything to match the design of the MacBook Air. With that being said you do have to sacrifice a little power in order to have something this mobile.
The Air is perfect for traveling if you are looking for something to keep you entertained. I probably wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a business laptop for travel, but if you are looking for something to watch a movie on than I think this might be your best bet.
The design is thin and light.(2.96LBS) It has a well above average battery life and a great display(1440x900 Resolution) for movies and web browsing.
As far as processing power:
--Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
--4GB of RAM
--128Gb Hard Drive
Again this is not the most powerful setup, but it should be able to handle what you need it too while traveling. (Web Broswing, Movies, Music, Word Processing, etc.)
On top of a great setup you also get the apple community which makes unlimited entertainment literally at your finger tips. iTunes has a ton of music, movies, books, and TV shows. While the app store gives you lots of apps that could come in handy during your travels.

I haven't actually bought this projector yet, but it is the first thing on my list once my basement is finished. I think having a proper area to use your projector is as important as the projector itself. This is a good link that really helped me get started as far as setting up your room for optimal viewing:
http://www.theprojectorpros.com/learn-s-learn-p-th...
I really like a lot of things about this projector. First off the price is right. You can get it for 900 bucks on amazon. That is not all that bad for a 1080p projector. It has a 4000:1 contrast ratio and a 500:1 ANSI contrast. I am not sure how big your viewing area is going to be but you can adjust the size from 37.6" to 301.1". I really like this versatility in screen size because my wife and I have a big football party each year where we rent and setup a projector in our pole barn to watch the days games. A 300 inch football game in 1080p is going to be incredible. I have to say that I have been shopping around for a while and this is one of the most promising products I have found so far. I think it is at least worth checking out.

I'll be honest the main thing that attracted to be this case was the look. It looks really cool and I thought I could just make everything else work. Turns out that this case is very functional and it seems to be built with quality in mind. I would consider this to be a good starting point. It is well designed to stay cool and it has a lot of features that allows the user to really mold this into whatever they want. The only thing I have noticed is that the fan intake filter clogs quickly. I live in a fairly dusty house though. I would say that this case is defiantly worth checking out.

It sounds like I am in about the same boat that you are. This is what I decided to go with. There are a lot of tutorials out there that will make the install an easy one. This is compatible with multiple systems(PC3200 (400 MHz), PC2700 (333 MHz), and PC2100 (266 MHz)). I installed mine into a 400 MHz system and it recognized it with no need for any extra configuration. I have been using it for a month or two now, without any problems. I have noticed a drastic difference in performance, especially when it comes to loading pictures and videos. I feel like this might be what you are looking for.

This is at the higher end of your price range, but it should be able to handle what ever you are going to throw at it. It runs pretty quiet for a power supply and it has a +12V rail, which is nice even for newer setups. It has a universal AC input so you do not have to worry about the switch in the back. It is 80Plus certified. It has a good power protection design and on top of all that it has a 5 year warranty.
The only thing I would change is the extra cables. It would be nice if these were removable. Overall this is a really good unit and in my opinion Corsair is one of the best companies out there for power supplies. I really do not think you can match its quality under this price.

I would consider this a good beginners keyboard. It has a switchable keypad, which is nice because you can find a setup that you like without having to buy multiple keyboards. You can assign up to 90 macros and it is really easy to adjust the brightness of the backlighting. I think my favorite thing is the cruise control button which is really nice if you are having the "Ctrl+W+R" problem.
With that being said it is not perfect there are a few things that I did not like. A few of the keys have been rearranged so this takes a little getting use to. The other thing is that there are quite a few unnecessary keys. I wish they would take these off and add more macro keys or just compact the board itself. This is still a good keyboard that should be at the top of your list. It has a lot of potential and would be good for any first timer.

I do not have a smart phone so I decided to go with the iPod touch. I have to say that I am pretty pleased. I wish that the battery life was a little better, but it is not a deal breaker. The are an endless amount of features to talk about, especially when you start talking about the apps that are available. The sound quality is great and the apps store makes downloading any kind of content very easy. It is great for travelling as well as commuting. The screen resolution is fantastic and the touch screen is very responsive. This takes the Mp3 player concept to a whole new level. I am not sure if there is really anything that even competes.

This is a nice little kit. Not only does it clean my guitar fret board, but it also conditions it which is nice. It really worked well to help my dried out board. It comes with a good set of instructions and you only have to use a little bit to clean the entire board. I really don't think you can beat the price and the performance of this product.

I really like this cover. I have bought several just to change the color up from time to time. They work really good. I have no problems accessing any ports or buttons. The only complaint I have is that I have to take the case off to put it on a charging station(Alarm Clock). I have dropped my phone a couple of times with no problems. A little expensive, but I think that it is worth it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a pretty good deal here. The snooze can be adjusted 1-29 minutes. The alarm gradually gets louder, which is nice if you have roommates. You can play a song off your iPhone as your alarm too. I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the sound quality. It is so nice to have a charging station right next to my bed. All and all this is a good clock if you don't mind spending the money. It is easy to use and compact enough to fit on almost any night stand. It is worth checking out.

This is a good place to start. I did have to exchange my first one for one that was a size larger. I followed the chart, but it must be a little off or maybe I just measured wrong. This is a very good suit that is extremely flexible. It keeps me very warm and has good seals around the neck, ankles, and wrist. Once I broke in the suit, it was one of the best suits I have had. I use it for just about every water sport out there. All and all this is a good suit for a good price. Just be careful with the sizing.

You can't go wrong with a tube. It is fun for kids and adults and you really do not need any skill to participate. You just hook up and hold on. If the budget allows I would get two tubes so you can have battles. I am 25 years old and me and my friends have spent hours battling this summer. I feel like this is a good place to start and you can get tubes for pretty low prices. This is the one we have and we really like it. The bigger you are the harder it is to stay on, but that is sort of the fun behind it.

This knife is a little expensive, but I think it is a really good knife. It is easy to grip and it is light weight. It is made of titanium which mean that there is no upkeep necessary. I still dry it when I get out of water, but I think that is just out of habit. I have used this for two summers now and it still looks like knew. It also comes with a strap. I have used it a couple times and it seems to work fine. I know there are better holders out there, but this one comes with it and it gets the job done. All and all this knife doesn't give me any reason to buy a different one.

This is an awesome BCD. It has a hybrid design that allows you to add weight to it. This keeps you from having to wear an uncomfortable weight belt. The weights are really easy to take in and out, whether in an emergency situation or if you just decided to go without a wet suit. It is extremely comfortable with multiple adjustments, so you can find just the right fit for you. It is made with really good quality and it is very easy to use. The functionally of the device is second to none. I really can't imagine using anything else. You should check it out.

I got this printer for my wife. I was a little concern because she doesn't really like to deal with technology, but I have to say she picked this right up. It is really nice because we do of a lot of travelling and this saves on the cost of printing pictures. I am really impressed with the quality of the photos that it produces. This printer did everything that we expected it to, so it is hard to complain about. I would buy it again if I had to.

I have a red pair of these. I really like them. They fit really good and the material is soft so the glove forms to your hand rather than the other way around. I use a little pine tar with them, but I am sure they would be fine without it. On top of good usability they look really cool. I can't really find anything to complain about.

I really think this is the best book out there. I got my A+ certification last year and this is the book I used. I keep it around now for reference and review. It is a very easy to read book, that walks you though most areas of the test. I felt very prepared the day I took the exams. I feel that this covers essentially everything you need to know. I would highly recommend having an older computer to wrench on while you reading through it. It brings a lot of what the author is trying to say together. If anything this is at least a good place to start.

I haven't seen the 7000D yet, but this is the TV I have. It works great for just about everything I throw at it. I use it for sports, blurays and of course gaming.(Xbox 360/Wii). I will start with the bad first. It seems to take a couple of seconds(5-8) to turn on. This is not that big of deal fo me, but it drive my girlfriend crazy. It is defiantly not a deal breaker, but it is something to consider before buying. With that being said this TV has a ton of stuff to offer.
I did a lot of shopping around and this is one of the cheapest LEDs of this size you can buy. I was a little worried about quality, but after a couple of months of use I have no worries any more. The picture quality is fantastic with great contrast and very good colors. It was easy to setup out of the box and I made only a few minor adjustments to the image quality. I probably could have just left it at the factory settings. All and all this is worth checking out before you buy.

I am not really sure how set on a 25" you are, but this is an awesome TV. It is 24" and an LED, but it is still 1080p. I cannot believe how great this picture is for under 200 bucks. They seem to be built really well and are easy to setup. The sound on it is pretty good and the color itself is super bright, which allows you to put it in a sunny room with good functionality. It is ready to go right out of the box. I would buy this TV all over again if I had to.

This is a really good book for starting at the beginning. This book does a great job of helping you understand new concepts as well as old ones. It is nice because there is a ton of useful information in the book, but there is also a lot of links to external information which is nice because it gives you a sense of endless information. You might not understand an example in the book, but a different way of approaching it from an external source might make it click. This is what I really liked about her book. She is not saying the her way is the right way. She is saying this is the best way it works for me, hopefully it works for you to. She acknowledges that there are multiple ways to do things, which is important when learning any kind of creative software.

This is the system that I have in my basement. I have to say that this is a very good system for the price. It was easy to setup and the sound quality is well above average. My only complaint was the user manual. I read though it to make sure that I wasn't under utilizing anything, but the manual was almost worthless. With that being said it is really easy to operate, so the manual is almost unnecessary. It took a little bit to get the settings where I wanted, especially for my PS3, but now it sounds amazing. All and all I don't see how you could be disappointed with this system. It gets the job done on multiple levels.

The is the one that is in my pack. It has a good battery life and it runs on AA batteries(4), so even the batteries are easy to carry. It is LED so it is brighter than most average flash lights. It doesn't weigh much, but it is a little bulkier than I expected. It is not that bulky. It still fits easily into my gear, but it is larger than it looks in the picture. I would buy it again if I had too. Actually I have bought two more since I bought my first one. Hope this helps.

I am in a similar situation and this is what I am trying to use. I got the idea from Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. He lost a couple of his finger tips and he used leather caps to keep playing. I couldn't really find leather caps, but I feel like this is just as good. The sizing is tricky, so you will just have to use trial and error until you find a comfortable set up. It does take a lot of getting use to, but luckily for us we only have to adapt for one finger.
The hardest thing is not applying pressure, the hardest thing is feeling the string. I am getting better, but it has taken me a lot of practice to get reasonably good again. Hopefully we both will be performing again soon. Good Luck.

If you liked Blood Money, than you should really try Silent Assassin. This is personally my favorite in the trilogy. I feel like it really test your patience, but it doesn't lose you with bordom. You can't just run through levels firing and succeed, you really have to use your head to be successful. I really like the mental challenge and the enemy AI this game offers.
The only thing that would make this game a little better is if it was a little less scripted and a little more free form. I am not really complaining, it just would be nice if there were more options that would make you successful. All and all if you liked Blood Money I don't really see how you could be disappointed with this one. It is at least worth a rent.

I decided to buy this camera when I decided to take my hobby to the next level. I still would not consider myself a professional, but I would defiantly consider myself more than a hobbyist. This camera is awesome on so many levels. The picture quality is outstanding(16.2MP). It puts some of my older pictures to shame. Compared to my D300 the low light shooting is great. I would say it is usable up to an ISO of 6400, but I got my best results in the 1600 ISO range. It has a dual SD card slot for more capacity. This is really nice when I travel.
My only complaint is that there is no full time live view. I eventually learned to live without it, but I still liked having it. With that being said I would not consider this a deal breaker. This camera has plenty more to offer. It is defiantly worth checking out.

If you have the money I would consider this a great starter DSLR. The on screen navigation and other features are really simple to use. There is little or no set up out of the box and the design is fairly small for a DSLR. The photo quality is outstanding. If you are just a hobbyist I really do not see a need for anything better.
The thing that I was most surprised about was the HD movie feature. I didn't really think that I would use it that much, but the video/sound quality is so good that I find myself using it all the time. The best part is that it has full time autofocus, which means that it is actually functional unlike some of the other SLRs with video capabilities that I have used.
My only complaint is that there is no bracketing option. I am not sure why they left it out, but even without it I still consider this one of the best DSLRs in this price range. I really don't see how you could be disappointed.

This is the one that I use to stay in touch with my wife and kids when I am on the road. This camera has lived up to all expectations. It was easy to install and the picture quality is even better than I expected. It is easy to travel with, but the best thing is the price. I don't think you will be able to find another camera with this much quality for under 50 bucks. I am glad I went with this one and I would buy it all over again if I had. Hope this helps.

This is a great all around racing game. I was a big fan right from the start. I find this to be a good medium. It is a lot better than any arcade style game, but it does not bore you like some of the more realistic simulator games do. It is nice because you can race awesome cars from the start. I think my favorite part is the Virtual garage. It is simple and makes reaching goals fun. All and all this is worth a try.

I am glad to see people throw a shout out to some of the original entertainment. I remember thinking back in the day, how can these graphics get in better, Super Mario 3 is so realistic. Haha...During college we had a Super NES and we actually played that more than we did our Xbox 360. A lot of these games are outdated, but that doesn't mean they can not be a load of fun. You can't go wrong with the original.

I feel like this is probably your best bet. It is a really good router that if you shop around you can probably get it for under 50 bucks. We ran ours with Verizon DSL and have had very few problems. We have to restart/refresh it every now and then, but I am pretty sure you have to do that with all routers. I have four people leaving in my house and this handles all our traffic while maintaining a fairly good speed(Topping out at about 150 Mbps). Setup was very simple and the directions were easy to follow. I have a little bit of computer experience, but I would imagine that even people with no computer experience could have this thing up in running in 20 minutes or less. There are a lot of routers out there, but I don't see how you could be disappointed with this one. Hopefully this helps.

Ahh...Yes this is a very good question. I have spent a lot of time looking for FPS for Linux and I just came across a great resource that is a good place to start. Check this out...
http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/07/top-10-fps-game...
This was just released and it has a good list of games to try. Some of them I had already known about but I was pleasantly surprised by the games that I hadn't heard of. I am a pretty big fan of Tremulous. It is a team based game that is really fun, addicting, but fun. It has an Aliens vs Humans theme.
The other game I like is Urban Terror. This is probably my favorite game on the list. It is a free multiplayer FPS. I quite often lose track of time with this one. Hopefully this helps. Good Luck.

I can only review the games that have come out so far this year, but I would put Crysis 2 on a list as one of the better games so far this year. I noticed it has gotten very mixed reviews, but I feel like every FPS gets mixed reviews. I guess it just depends on what your taste is.
I thought that C2 was very entertaining and fun. For the most part the game play was very smooth and the graphics were above average. I feel like you can find bugs in every game if you look hard enough. My only real complaint is that this game was too short. I really like the gameplay and the storyline behind it, but I feel like it ended before it should have. I would almost consider this an extension of C1 rather than treating it as a game all on its own.
In conclusion I don't have much to complain about. It was short, but it is worth playing through again. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what is going on the second time through. I really don't see how you can be disappointed with this one. I will say though, my list of best games will probably change before the year is up. (Call of Duty - Modern Warefare 3(November 8, 2011)). Good Luck.

I was a little skeptical of this mouse at first, but after getting use to it I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't consider this a stater mouse. I would recommend a little experience before you give this one a shot. It has a 5600dpi Razer Precision 3.5G Laser Sensor, which is second to none in my opinion. It is extremely sensitive and very accurate. The design and feel is fantastic. Again the only downside is that it takes some time to learn all the ins and outs.

These are right at the top of your price range, but they are awesome. There are a couple of things I want to point out though. First they are very easy to set up(Plug and Play/Work on mac and PC). There is no on and off button, which I thought was funny. I guess they are designed to be on all the time. The bass is average and there is an adjustment nob on the base to turn it up and down. The casing is a very durable plastic that seems like it is above average. They are some what directional in sound. Once you move out of the sweet spot you can notice a drastic drop in quality. Luckily they have a pretty large sweet spot.
With all that being said these ar still great speakers. They look awesome and the sound quality is above average. They are a little expensive, but they are worth it. If you have the money to spend then these are your best bet.

I know you are looking for something easy to use, but the directions that came with this kit are horrible. It is easy to use once you know how to do it, but I had to do a little research online before I could use it. There are some easy to follow videos on youtube. Other than the direction this kit is awesome. It comes with everything you need including a ton of ink. Even if you use a lot of ink on a daily bases this ink should last you a while. This might be a good place to start. The price makes the little bit of research you have to do worth it.

I have been fixing computer for about a year now. This is what I use. I will start with the bad first. The flash light is not that good. I quickly bought a different one and replaced it. Other than that everything else gets the job done. The rest of the tools seem to be very durable. All the tools are demagnetized so you do not have to worry about any damage to the computer. It has a few specialized computer tools, but I would consider this more of an all around electronics tool kit rather than a computer specific tool kit. All and all I am happy with this purchase.

We have a cabin up in northern michigan that runs on a generator. We go up there hunting in the fall and we take our quads up there during the summer. This little device has came in handy on multiple occasions. If the generator won't start then all we have to do is hook this thing up and we can get it going. It really beats having to hook jumper cables together so we have a jumper cable that can reach the generator room from the truck. This also has an air compresser on it which is nice to take on the trails with us. All and all I don't know how we did it before. I really can't find much to complain about.

I decided to go with a kit because I thought it would be cost effective. I was not completely disappointed, but the kit did leave a little bit to be desired. First off the camera and lens is awesome. There are a ton of features and the camera is easy to use. The ergonomics are perfect and the functionality is second to none. The photo quality will make you wonder why you ever used anything else. I have no complaints about the camera. With that being said the rest of the kit seemed sort of cheap. The tripod was average. The carrying case was below average. The memory card was a memory card and most of the other stuff I haven't even used yet. All and all I am happy I bought this bundle, but not everything in it was quite as good as I expected.

I am not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking pictures as a hobby. I wanted a good stepping stone camera that I could take my photography to the next level with. I found everything I was looking for in the FZ35. The only thing that I do not like is the size. I feel like there are smaller cameras out there that can do the same thing. With that being said I do like the design. All the buttons are easy to access and easy to use. It has good balance for a larger camera.
On the upside there are a lot of things I like about this camera. The 18x zoom is wide angle. The battery life is a lot better than I expected. The interface is easy to use as long as you take the time to learn the ins and outs. The photo quality is above average and the image stabilization makes shooting much easier. And on top of all this it shoots really good HD video. This is a really good low to mid-level camera. I would recommend it for all experience levels.

I really enjoy hot sauce. It is difficult to find a good balance of hot and usability. I want my dish to be spicy, but I still want to be able to taste my food. This hot sauce finds that balance. I find that it works fine right out of the bottle, which means there is no hassel in diluting before use. This is a good sauce that doesn't leave you hurting for three days. It is worth a shot.

I do not usually buy things refurbished, but I decided to give this Magellan a shot. I was on a small budget so my choices were somewhat limited. I have to say that I am pleasantly satisfied with this device.(After 6 Months). The unit was refurbished so I expected to look used. There was some wear and tear on the outer casing, but nothing major. As far as functionality goes I have no complaints. It is easy to operate and for a GPS in this price range it calculated routes faster than I expected. I am sure there are better units out there, but for me this get the job done.

I like this camera a lot. It has a ton of features that allow you to adjust what every you want to take a good picture, but at the same time it creates great results in auto mode. It is very simple to use. It takes high quality movies(Above Average Sound Too) that can be fun to play with. It is light and overall the quality seems to be good. The viewing screen is very large and is easy to using even when the light conditions are very bright. My only complaint is that it runs on AA batteries rather than a rechargeable battery. This cost can add up quick, because the battery life is not that great. All and all this is a good camera for the price. I am a very happy user.

This might be a few bucks over your price range, but if you shop around I bet you could find one somewhere under $500. If you can't then you will quickly see why this camera is worth the few extra dollars. First atheistically this is a great camera. It has a good feel/balance and design. The screen is big enough for you to get instant feedback on your pictures. It doesn't do any good to have a screen if you can't see it. Its photo quality is worth the price alone. It has a built in flash that has not given me a reason to upgrade it yet. It has multiple shooting modes that have a ton of customizable features on each of them.
The only two things that I do not like are 1 - The high ISO can make some photos noisy. This can be good in some cases, but I hate it when a great picture gets ruined. 2 - The other thing is that there is no movie recording. I know if I want to record movies than get a video camera, but it is a nice feature to have when an unexpected movie opportunity shows up.
All and all this is a great camera with a ton of features.(I am still learning most of them). If it is in your price range than I don't see how you could be disappointed with this purchase. I know I am not.

My wife and I wanted something that we could take back and forth between our cars. We found everything we were looking for in this Garmin. This is a very basic GPS that gets the job done. It has simple effective routing. I also like how it shows a speed limit sign on your route. I have found this helpful on multiple occasions. I had to turn up the sensitivity on the touch screen, but that is the only change I have had to make. The interface is easy to use and it seems to process directions quickly.
The only thing I don't like is the point of interests. There seems to be quite a few missing, even if that restaurant has been there for multiple years. I have done map updates, but there is still no up to date points of interest. I figured Garmin would be better in this category. With that being said this is not a deal breaker. It still gets the job and it is within almost anyones price range.

This camera has a lot of things that I really like about it. I use this as my bar camera and I have very little to complain about. It shoots decent pics in lowlight and takes fast pictures. You can also shoot video with it and it has above average sound if you consider what you are using. It takes AA batteries. I know a lot of people see this as a downside, but I hate when you have a rechargeable battery that you forget to charge. You might spend a little more money in the long run on batteries, but at least all you have to do is change them when it runs out rather than waiting for them to charge. With that being said the battery life is not great on this camera, especially if you shoot a lot of video. It isn't deal breaker bad, but it is something to consider before you buy.
I like the size and the functionality of this camera. It is easy to use and shoots good enough pictures for me. The zoom is good and it has a ton functions that I can't even begin to list. My only recommendations is to read through the manual so you fully utilize the power of this camera. This is an above average point and shoot camera that is great for the price.

The main reason I decided to give the G Tablet a shot was the price. I am fairly good with computers so I thought if I went with inexpensive hardware I could always upgrade the software to my liking. This was actually exactly the case. The hardware is above average, especially for the price. It is fast, it has a USB port, and it has an SD slot for more memory storage.
With all of that in mind, the operating system left a little to be desired. I am a huge android fan, but for some reason the development of this OS seemed to be rushed. It was a little clunky, but XDA developers saved the day by making multiple firmwares that made this tablet one of the best out there.
In conclusion, it takes a little work, but this tablet has a lot to offer. There are a ton of tutorials online to get you up and running. I am so glad I saved my money and went with this unit.

This is right at the top of your price range, but I don't see how you could be disappointed. First off this cam is really easy to use. It is compact, yet the viewfinder is large enough to use. It is able to take stills and record above average video. My only compliant is that a DVD only records for 30 minutes in standard mode. You can also record to a memory stick, so you just have to find right amount of memory to record to. Overall a very good camera for a very good price.

I needed something for business/pleasure travel. I wanted something that was a little more then a net book, but wasn't big and bulky like most laptops. I finally settled on this laptop by Acer. I have to say so far I am very pleased. It is great for travel. It is small and the battery life appears to be above average. The screen resolution and sound are average, but they work good enough for movies and music.
My only complaint is with the design of the keyboard. First thing the on/off button is directly above the escape key. I have accident shut my computer off a couple of times. The other things is that the page up and page down keys are right next to the arrow keys. This can get annoying when you are typing documents. All and all the keyboard will take some getting use to. I guess this would be the case with any laptop this small.
With all that being said. I don't think you will find a better computer(This Size) for the price. It is very functional and travel friendly. I would buy it all over again.

This is a perfect pack if you have trouble fitting into most average packs. I am a smaller guy and I can never find a happy medium. Either the pack is too big for me or it is too small for me. Everything on this pack is adjustable so you can easily find the perfect fit. This alone was worth the price for me. I have never had a pack this comfortable.
With that being said there was one thing that I didn't like. The sleeping bag pocket is almost too small. I could barely fit my summer bag inside it (I haven't even attempted my winter bag yet). This is okay when I am at home messing with my stuff, but it gets annoying when you are out on the trail and you have treat you sleeping bag like a puzzel piece. On that note, you can easily fit your bag inside the large compartment, so just put it in there and use your sleeping bag compartment for other things. Overall this was my only complaint. The quality of the bag seems to be good and there is plenty of space for everything I take hiking. I feel like the pros defiantly outweigh the cons with this pack. It is worth a look.

This camera has a couple of cool features. The first thing is that it records in HD(1080p) so that is nice. Another thing is the youtube upload button. This makes sharing your videos quick and simple. The only downside is that it is not Mac compatible. Make sure you are using a PC if you want to load any of you videos on to your computer. It is nice and compact, so it is perfect for vacation. It is easy to use and seems to be built with quality in mind. I have never had a bad Toshiba product.

This is what I started with. The only thing I was disappointed in was the recipe book. I have since then found a few other books that are easier to follow. I am not saying the recipe book was unusable, but it could have been organized a little better. With that being said everything else is awesome. The quality is top notch. This makes a great present too. I have actually given them to two of my friends.

I needed something to help my back when I slept. I tried multiple mattresses, but I had no luck. This really seemed to help. I have not got this good of sleep in a long time. It was easy to put on and for the most part it stays in place. The only downside is the price. You could buy a new mattress for that price, but like I said I tried other mattresses. I wish I would have just spent the money upfront and not had the cost of the other mattresses.

I bought this to use with garage band on my mac. I don't really use it to do any professional recording, but it is perfect for writing songs(Especially when trying to write two guitar parts with one person). It might not be the best to record a demo with, but it get the job done. It took a little while to get the setup right, but I finally figured it out. It has both mic inputs and guitar inputs. This is once of the best interfaces in this price range.

These are the flags we use. They are easy to adjust and have lasted two summer now. The only thing I didn't like was that we had to put them together when we bought them. It wasn't that big of deal, but it would have been nice if they were preassembled. We have the yellow ones. They seem to perform good. The defender has to have a true grip on them for them to fall off. These get the job done.

This is the first dive computer I had. I wanted something that had both a manual air gauge, and a digital air gage. This is a solid computer for this price range. It is easy to use and easy to read underwater. I had a little bit of trouble with the compass in low visibility situations(I just bought a better wrist compass), but everything else works how you would want it too. I don't see how you could be disappointed with this purchase.

This is a great bait that has multiple uses. I have used it to catch both large and small mouth bass. I use it on my regular pole as well as my Ultra Lite rod. This is nice for catching a lot of fish. I wouldn't recommend this to catch large fish(I'm not saying it can't), but it keeps you from missing the small ones. All and all a good quality bait for any level fisherman.

I like this lamp a lot. It is nice to not have to buy batteries every 10 hours. You can plug it in and recharge it at home or in the car, be careful not to run your car battery down though. I speak from experience. It is very functional and easy to use. It is light enough that you can hang it in your tent or to carry it down to the lake at night. All and all this lamp has performed the way I needed it to. I would buy it all over again.

I decided to take a run at making some authentic Mexican food. I found this book to be a good start. Most of the recipes are fairly quick(1 hour or less) and easy to follow. So far everything I have made has been a hit with my roommates. I did find it a little difficult to find some of the ingredients. I would just recommend looking over the recipe before you buy anything to make it. I had to order one spice online, but I had already bought everything else. All and all this might not be the best book out there, but it is defiantly a good place to start.

I think these gloves might be what you are looking for. They are thin enough to keep your hands warm, but they are not so thick that you can't function in them. I only use them for Kite Surfing. The grip on the palm is well designed and works well. There is not much else to say. These are very practical and get they job done.

I have been very pleased with these boots on multiple levels. They are Scentlok so you don't have to worry about the smell of your feet spoking your animals. They are water proof and very warm. I have used these to hike on multiple trips with no blisters. They were very easy to break in and so far they have performed in every situation I have thrown at them(Hunting and Hiking). After a year of hard use some of the stitching came loose, but I was able to have a local shoe guy fix it. It probably would have been fine, but I didn't want to take the chance of being stranded with a broken boot. These are worth a look.

I really like this desk. I put my main monitor on the platform and I still have plenty of room for my laptop/other monitor and books. It was really easy to assemble. I really like the look. It is simple and easy to move if I want to rearrange my office. I was a little worried about spending the money on this desk, but it turned our to be a good buy. I will hopefully be able to use this desk for years to come.

If you have the money to spend, then I don't think you'll find anything better than the 310XT. This is the only water proof GPS I have ever seen. I bought this when I started training for a triathlon. It is easy to use and helps record and plan a variety of workouts. The best thing is that the battery life is actually legit. I think the most I have used it so far was 5 hours at once, but there was still over half of the battery left. It doesn't have a ton of water features. It basically can only keep track of the time in the water. I was hoping it would do a little bit more under water, but I still like that I am able to use it under multiple conditions. I think you would be impressed with all the features this watch offers. It is worth checking out.

This is a pretty standard capo. You don't really need to spend a lot on this accessory. I have had a capo like this last me up to five years. They are really easy to put on and they don't do any damage to you guitar. Ever now and then, my e/E string will vibrate when I play. You just have to readjust the capo so it is catching all the strings. These are really simple tools that add a whole new element to you guitar. Anyone who plays a guitar should have one.

I am a bigger guy and I am a big fan of this chair. It was easy to put together and after 6 months it still feels new. It is very comfortable and gives very good lower back support. The only problem I have is that the right arm wiggles loose every now and then. I just tighten it back up and it is fine. Overall I am glad I went with this chair. It has made my workday a little more bearable.

This is a tricky process that can go wrong in many different ways. The best program I have found so far is something called Handbrake. I think it is still free and it works on both Mac and PC. You should be able to just Google Handbrake and download it. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to use this program. Here is the link to the page I use: http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/tutorials/handbr... Hopefully it will work for you too. Good Luck.

I have this in my home office. It is awesome because it is very compact and can sit on my desk, but it still has a 40 page capacity. It is a little noisy, but that is no big deal for no more than I use it. The design is okay and it looks fine among my other desktop accessories. For the price it functions above average and keeps a simple task simple.

I really like smart water. The water itself seems a little thicker than other water making it more filling and refreshing. And oddly enough I am even more of a fan of the bottle. It has thicker plastic, which makes refilling the bottle practical. I usually buy a smart water in the morning and then refill the bottle multiple times throughout the day. The price tag is a little higher, but it is good water, so I find that it is worth it.

This is a good shirt for the price. It fits my shoulders good, but doesn't hand down to my knees. I also wear these shirts golfing, so it is nice to go from the office to the course without changing. I like the feel of the colar. It doesn't choke you, even if you have it buttoned all the way up. All and all a quality shirt that I have bought in multiple colors. Overall I am a happy customer.

My grandpa was a crew chief on a P-38 during World War II. I bought him this because I thought he would like it. He did. He thought it was neat, because you can build three different version of the P-38. He built the one that closely resemble his plane. His only complaint was that both engines spun counter clockwise, when in reality the starboard engine spun clockwise while the port engine spun counter clockwise. Haha...he would get mad about something like that. Overall a good little model though.

We had the room so we decided to go with 9 inch screens and I am glad we did. These have really good sound and picture quality. The screen brightness goes up high enough for easy daytime viewing. Also these have two power cords, so you can run them in the car or in a RV. Actually we even use ours in the house on occasion. Like all dual screens there is always the wire issue, but I just zip stripped the wires together and away from my kids feet. This allows me to take them in and out of the car with ease. Finally my only complaint is that some of the more useful buttons are located on top of the device, so when it is installed and can be a little tricky for the kids to get to, but they quickly memorized where the buttons were at so this wasn't a problem for long. So far I am pleased with my purchase.

My girlfriend loves these chocolates. It is a nice easy present for multiple special occasions a year. A little pricey, but they seem to really be worth it. I really have nothing to compare the taste and texture to. They are in a league of their own. On top of all that you get a nicely decorated box and 1LBS of chocolate. That is a lot of chocolate for anyone.

I have used yahoo for a couple of years now as my front page. I have yahoo mail and I often find myself utilizing features such as Yahoo answers. I think as far as searching goes they can be compared to Google and Bing as one of the best. Their results seem to be consistent and organic. My only complaint is some of the news stories they post. They have very bias writers and it can get frustrating to think that millions of people are reading poorly written articles. I know they are producing new content everyday and that is difficult, but most of the time the articles look like they were created by an automatic article creator. All and all they have all the features you would expect from a search engine, and they seem to do most of them pretty well.

I started out with this board. I really liked it. Is easy to pop up and strap yourself in. The best part is the hook on the nose for the tow rope. This is almost a must for any beginner. Overall this board is inexpensive and is really easy to use. I bought mine off amazon. The price is just as good if not better than what you are going to find in any water sports store. This is defiantly worth a look.

This bat is a beast. As soon as it was out of the wrapper it had great pop. It has good balance and I love the feel of the grip. I don't even need to use pine tar or batting gloves. The sweet spot is huge and I have no problem taking the ball to multiple fields. I am curious to see how long the pop last. Essentially everyone on the team uses this bat right now and after 3/4 of the season it still has the same pop it did when we first opened it. I wish it was a little cheaper, but it has been worth it for the higher batting average.

We have one of these. It can be both fun and relaxing. It makes great waves when the kids are in the pool, but it is really comfortable to sit in if you just want to read a book. It can fit one or two people. Make sure you have a pump to blow it up though. It was tough to do manually. All and all a good raft that has multiple uses.

I use these for multiple outdoor activities.(Fishing, Hiking, Kayaking just to name a few). They are super light and they are really durable. I don't want to test their so called unbreakability, but so far they have withstood the punishment I have put them through. The fit my face really well, and above all else they cool. If anything ever happens to the ones I have now I will defiantly buy another pair. You can't beat good quality for a great price.

This is right at the top of your price range, but it gets the job done. It took me about 2 hours to put together, so that wasn't too bad. I like how versatile this machine is. You can stand up or sit down. The electronics are not bad either. There is a heart monitor, intensity adjuster, and it has preprogrammed workouts. I was a little skeptical of the quality of the machine going in because the price was so low, but so far it has been fine. I wish it took up a little less room, but other than that I really can't find anything to complain about. I am glad I picked this one and saved a ton of money.

If you have a net available then I would suggest some beach volleyball. You only need four people to have fun, but you can accommodate up to ten people. I tend to get a little competitive so watch out when I bring the Thunder( :-) ), but overall this is great activity that you can make some new friend at. I have went out to the beach by myself and had a solid pickup game going with in 15 minutes. You can't go wrong with a friendly game.

This is a really good stand for the travelling musician. I play classical guitar, so I already have a big case to carry around. This stand folds up into a small bag that comes with it. This is good for practice, and it looks good enough to have on stage with you. All and all I don't think that there is a more portable, durable, and affordable stand out there.

I bought this because I was looking for something that could improve my system in my car, but I didn't want to over due it. This system was the perfect center for me. This is an enclosed self powered sub that sounds great. It is really easy to install and it is perfect for any car that you don't have a lot of space to spare. My only concern is the quality of the unit. A lot of the reviews on this item claim that they don't last long. I am on year three right now so I have defiantly got my moneys worth. I don't see any future issues. Overall very good sound quality that fit in my price range.

I was a little skeptical about going with an electric leaf blower, but I quickly realized how convient it was to not have to pull start and fill the blower with gas. This unit is very practical and thought out. It actually has multiple functions. It is a leaf blower, vacuum, and a leaf shredder. It does all these jobs above average. I am not a huge fan of having to drag an extension cord behind me, but you get use to it after a while. All and all this is a good product for the price. I am sure there are better blowers out the, but I bet you would have to pay a lot more.

I bought this pole for my girlfriend. She really liked it and found it very easy to use. As a beginner I would highly recommend going with a spincast reel similar to this one. You don't have to worry about lash back like you do with a bait caster and you it is easier to cast then a open faced spinning reel. This pole breaks down into two pieces so that makes transporting it to the lake and storing it a breeze. It is so simple to use. You just click the button, and release it when you cast. This would be a good pole for experts and beginners alike.

These are great for travel. I feel like all three pieces are above average. The goggles form well to your face and very rarely leaked water. The flippers seemed short, but this was good for the amount of snorkeling I did. The snorkel never leaked water and the mouth piece was comfortable and practical. Great deal for the travelling snorkeler.

These are a quality golf ball. I really like them and I am not losing 4 dollars every time I slice my drive into the woods. They don't have great spin at the green, but I have good control with my longer clubs. This a good ball for the weekend warrior. I am glad I gave these a shot.

I don't fish any tournaments, but to me this is just as important as my fishing pole. There are many adjustable straps so you can create a very snug fit around your torso. The pockets are are helpful and there is even a rod holder. This works really well while fishing out of my kayak. All and all I would say that it was worth the money. I really can't find anything bad to say about it.

I upgraded to this kit after I decided that micro brewing was something I could really get into. I have made about five batches of beer with this kit. They have all turned out well. The fermenter alone is worth the price. It comes with everything you would need to create a successful brew. The only thing I would change is the sanitizer situation. It recommends you sanitize with bleach, but this takes a really long time. If you look around you will find quicker/safer sanitizers out there. All in all, this is one of the best kits you can get at this price range.

I am a big fan of this show too. Actually they do a live tour as well, which is a must see if you get a chance. This isn't an in your face funny show. You really have to listen and pay attention to what is going to get the full effect. I think that is what I like about it. From a comedy stand point this show is very creative.

This is what we use at the restaurant I work at. First off this stuff works. It works because it is extremely abrasive, so use with care. Don't leave it on for too long, or it will start blotching. Also I would recommend using gloves. I have used it a few time without gloves and it really dries out your hands. It is a product that does its job on multiple surfaces, but is powerful, so user beware. All in all when used properly this is one of the best products out there.

I really like this cleaner. It makes a job that I put off doing a quick and easy chore. You don't have to get messy and when you are done you just throw the used head away, so there is no dirty toilet brush sitting next to you toilet for guest to see. Simple put this item is easy to use and takes the headache out of keeping a clean toilet.

I would highly recommend getting a mix rather than a name brand bottle. I have always been very picky about my ranch. I actually have returned to certain restaurants because they have good ranch. Finally I decided to try making my own for home. A prepackaged mix is a good place to start, because you can then make it how every you want. I like to keep mine a little thin and maybe add some garlic salt. Get creative and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

I am not sure if this hammock is actually classified as an indoor hammock, but we have one hanging in our sunroom. It is extremely comfortable. It fits two people fairly easy and it was easy to put up. I have to say that it seems to relieve some of my back pain. I have no problem taking a snooze or reading a book in it. It really forms to your body which makes falling out a lot less likely. This is my first hammock so it took me a little while to get my hammock balance, but now I am using it every day.

We bought this before we went on vacation earlier this spring. I figured we would use it for the pool during that week and then we would throw it a way. Turns out I was wrong. I can't believe the sound that comes out of this little speaker. Not only is the quality good, but it is also really loud. I was concerned about outdoor use, but I shouldn't have been. The battery life could be better. We went though two set during our vacation, but we used it a lot. Probably 4-5 hours a day, so the battery life isn't bad it just could be better. All and all a good buy that I still use round the house.

This is a great shoe. It looks really cool and it is really comfortable. I like how high they protect the ankle. I am still a little concerned about the quality. I have only had them for 2 weeks so the verdict is still out on how long they will last. I think they should be fine. I use to get really bad shin splints and these shoes have relieved some of pain. I like the design and overall feel. A good shoe for a good price.

I was the last one of my friends to see this movie, so I had extremely high expectations going into it. I didn't really like it the first time I saw it. Then I watched it again. I can't figure out why I didn't like it when I saw it in theaters. I love this movie. There are an endless amount of one liners that never seem to get old. Great movie. Your crazy if you don't like this movie.

We bought a couple of these for our boat. They are lightweight and fairly comfortable for being PVC Marine Foam. They are of course USCG approved and they are a good fit for multiple body types. Everything seems to be built with good quality. The only compliant we have ever received is that the back rubs on your neck when you are floating in the water. All and all they serve their purpose. They are good enough for guest and they don't break the bank.

I usually get out on the lake once or twice a week. I have had this board since the beginning because I have never really felt the need to upgrade. It is an inexpensive board that has great feel on the wake. If you have any kind of board sport experience than you should have no trouble getting up on this board. Simple said it is a cool looking board that will fit all skill levels.

My kids really like this. It is kind of a challenge for my younger one to sit on, but she likes to sit on it while I pull her around. It seems to be built with good quality. I do have to refill it every couple of days. I think the sun might expand the membrane causing it to feel like it is loosing air. Also make sure you have a pump to blow it up. It is a pretty good size. I wouldn't want anyone to put their lungs though that.

This is a good quality ball. It was quick to break in and it took about two hours to get the slippery film off. It feels comfortable and the size is right. It holds air for a good amount of time and even plays good in the rain. I don't think this ball would let you down.

This was a good addition to my basement. You can play pool and air hockey. I also bought a ping pong table top which works great siting on top of this table. Overall I am happy with this table. I was a little concerned with the quality while I was putting it together, but now that it is built it seems very sturdy. It is a reasonable size, but it doesn't take up my whole basement. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but we have already gotten our moneys worth.

I like this little tool. It has locking pliers that makes pulling tent stakes out easier. It has multiple tools for emergency fix situations(Different Screwdriver Heads). A bottle opener(For tailgating Emergencies ;-)) and a serrated edge knife. It is compact enough to fit on your belt or slip in your pocket. The quality is good and overall I am happy with its performance. I can think of multiple times that this little tool saved the day.

This is a good fan for a couple of different reasons. It is under 100 bucks and it is energy star rated, which means that you save money now as well as down the road. It is quiet and easy to install. The quality seems good and I don't see with this fan won't last me 5-10 years. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a light. I know for the price I should be happy, but it still would be nice. I am considering buying another one for my daughters bedroom, so overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

This is the same set that Tom Cruise used in Cocktail(Not Really...Haha) Overall I am very happy with this set. everything is made with good quality and seems to wash up easy. Every now and then the shaker will leak, but it usually happens a little later in the evening so it is probably the operator not the design. It includes just about everything you need to impress your friends or entertain yourself for a night alone. Lots of fun.

During school our games of Mario Kart would get a little heated. Lets just say we had to replace our remotes on multiple occasions. For a third party remote these seemed to work really well. They were a little tricky to sync, but we eventually figured it out. They look and feel just like the name brand, but they are very reasonably priced. They are worth a shot.

There is a lot I can say about the Incredible 2. First lets start with the bad. It comes preinstalled with a couple of different Verizon apps that can be a pain to remove(Some can't be removed). Most of these apps have free alternatives, so be sure to look into that before you upgrade to the paid versions of any Verizon apps. The sound quality of you music is not the best but this is quickly made up for by having Google Music. Google music is probably my favorite feature.
Now the good. I am a big fan of the size. It is not too big to fit in your pocket, but it is big enough to be able to use the web/touch screen comfortably. The batter life is better than any smartphone phone I have ever had. The interface is easy to use, especially if you have any experience with android phones. On top of everything Verizon is the best carrier out there. It is nice to finally be able to experience a smartphone the way it was meant to be experienced.

We use this at our house. It is nice because the applicator allows you to put as little or as much as you want. It also allows you to put it wherever you want. We usually put it in cracks and underneath our cupboards. We have a dog to so we try to put it places that he cannot get to. We haven't had any problems so far and overall we have noticed a decrease in ant traffic. It is worth a shot.

I use my PSP when I travel as well as when I comute to and from work. It would be perfect for a long flight. This will keep you son entertained by himself, giving you the opportunity to do the things you enjoy. Not only does it play games, but it also allows you to play music and videos. This will give you multiple levels of entertainment. It is small and very mobile. Hopefully your plane will have some charging stations for you devices, because battery life could be a problem. Overall I take my PSP everywhere. It is quality entertainment at any age. You might even find a few games that you like.

I am a big fan of the saw series. The first couple are the best in my opinion. They are gruesome so be prepared for that, but they very entertaining. The characters and story lines are not the most in depth, but if you are looking a few hours of no thought required entertainment then you might like this. I especially like the ending of the first one. Have fun.

You can't beat snow caps. They go great with popcorn. They are small and delicious. The go good at home or at the movies. Enjoy.

Aesthetically speaking this is one of the coolest clubs I have ever seen. For some reason there is something pleasing about the design that really puts confidence in your swing. This club is really good for someone who is trying to shape their swing. You can adjust the lie, the loft, and the weight(Toe to Heel), which makes it really easy to adjust not only for practice, but also from course to course. No club will automatically take strokes off your score just by being in the bag, but if you are looking for something that has a silky smooth feel then the R11 might be it.

I really like this grill. It preheats fast and makes everything from paninis to grilled veggies. I like it because I can use it both inside and out. It is actually nonstick so the clean up is a breeze. Everything is cooked to perfection. The only thing that I would change is the ability to remove the metal inserts. It would be nice if there was a flat plate so you could cook eggs and pancakes. Other than that I really like how easy this grill makes cooking at home.

Now don't make fun of me, but the first movie I every watch with surround sound was Top Gun. For some reason I have always remember it. I do really like this movie it is a classic. It is always fun to break it out after you haven't seen it for a while. It creates a very good experience in multiple scenes. It is worth giving it a shot.

I know you only have balcony to work with, but these small trees might be something to consider. They grow to be about 8-10 feet tall. I am a big fan of avocados. I love making guacamole and even eating them raw. They are one of the best vegetables out there for your health. We have a smaller deck behind our house, and we have two of these dwarf trees growing in planters. Keep them watered and let the tree do the rest of the work. I hope you have enough space for something like this. These offer a tasty little treat in the summer.

If you buy these new then they are going to be just above your price range. I bought mine used off Amazon and payed around $80 for them, so there are some good deals out there. I use mine mainly at work. My office is a huge open space so there is a ton of ambient noise, which can make my work extremely difficult. Overall these get me through the day. I know that there are better pairs out there if you want to spend the money, but I didn't need a $300 dollar pair of headphones. I think what I like best is that they work without having to have music playing (To be honest the sound quality is not that great anyway.). My goal was to get rid of noise not add noise to my already stressful day. Simply put, they are very good for the price. They seem to be built well and will hopefully last me a while.

This isn't out until August, but you can't go wrong with the Madden franchise. This is a good game whether you are playing online, with friends, or even by yourself. You can do a ton of different things, everything from building your own franchise to building your own player, all with a one of a kind user experience. The graphics and game play are unreal. I feel that any football fan from age 8-30 would enjoy this game. I can't wait for it to come out.

This NorthStar has performed really well for me the last two years. It has a large tank so you are not stopping and filling up every five minutes. It is roundup ready so you can jump off your mower and spray any weeds that need sprayed. I wish the wheels were a little better. It works fine for my yard, but I have a couple of trails that run through my woods that I like to keep sprayed down. The wheels don't always handle the bumps very well. My yard is looking better than ever and I am spending about half the time in it. I have to admit that most of it is due to my NorthStar.

We have a total of four in our family so we needed something that was spacious and easy to put up. This has taken our camping experience to a whole other level. We can reach remote areas that larger campers/trailers can't reach yet we still have the safety and comfort of our own car. This tent is really easy to put up and take down. It can be used as a stand alone tent if you decide to hike instead of drive.I think the best part is being able to use are cars electrical inputs for fans and entertainment. Overall very happy with our purchase. My only complaint is after a few uses one of the zipper broke of. We had to get a little creative to get the zipper back on, but since then we have not had any problems.

Overall I am extremely happy with my Vokeys. I have three of them, a 52 degree, a 56 degree, and a 60 degree. They have great feel and control. They are well built and perform second to none. These clubs allow me to spin the ball when I need to and release the ball when it is necessary. I really can't find a downside to them. After playing a couple of rounds I don't think you will either.

I know people either love or hate Apple, but I love my MacBook Air. I do a lot of travelling both for business and for pleasure and my Air has by far been my best travelling companion. IT has a ton of multimedia features that are great for entertainment on long flights. I think my favorite thing is the built in camera. This makes staying in touch with home(Via Skype) a lot easier and a cheaper then pervious methods I have attempted.
On the downside the storage is limited. You might have to get creative on space, but the lack of storage is quickly forgotten when you consider the mobility of this device. Also like all Apple products it is expensive. At the end of the day this product fills all my needs. It might not be the best option for you, but it is worth a look.

I bought this refrigerator last summer when I redid my outdoor space. The project manager I hired recommended it and I had it built right into my outdoor kitchen. After one summer of use I have to say I am pretty satisfied. For the price I wish it was a little larger, but for the most part I never run out of space. It looks great with the stainless steel and runs very quiet. This fridge really makes outdoor entertaining easier for both me and my guest.

Hands down best game ever. If me and my friends would have spent half the amount of time studying that we spent playing this game...well lets just say it wouldn't have taken us five years to graduate. Haha lesson learned I guess. This game belongs in everyone collection.

I take this to almost all social events. It is always fun to be able to look back and see what you did the night/day before. This camera is almost to simple to use and the quality is great. It is also really easy to import videos onto your computer. No wires, just a simple USB plug that pops right out of the unit. I wish it came with a little better case, but there are some nice cases out there so that isn't a big deal. I have caught some great memories on on my flip that otherwise would have been forgotten. You should check them out.

You don't have to spend a ton of money to get a solid bow. I bought this used and so far I have not found a lot to complain about. It is very easy to work on and maintain. It took me no time to sight it in. The draw is very smooth and the let off is above average. On the downside there is some vibration on the release. It isn't unbearable but it is defiantly noticeable. I am not sure if there is anything I can do to improve this. Other than that I can not wait to take it out his fall.

I have been on the New Balance boat since the 991s. They have always fit my feet very well. I have never needed any kind of extra support or sole insert. Overall this shoes seems to excel in many different categories. They perform on almost any surface.(treadmill, dirt, cement, pavement). They are built with support in mind, but they are still light. They feel real natural and they usually last me an entire running season. It would be nice if they were a little more water tight. I know they are not designed to be waterproof but a little protection would be nice. Maybe on the 994s?

I recently got back together with some friends from Junior High. When we were younger we made a bunch of recordings/mix tapes. I thought it would be fun to have something that we could play tapes on. I shopped around for a little while and found this from Super Sonic. It is nice for a couple of reasons. The price was really reasonable and the sound quality was acceptable. You can play tapes, CDs, and it even has a USB interface. I found this boom box to be very portable(Can run in Batteries) and functional. My only complaint was the FM/AM radio wasn't very good. Maybe I am just in a bad area for reception. I bought it for one night, but it know sits on my boat and gets a ton of use. It is worth a look.

I finally decided to follow suit and get a tablet. I didn't really see the need for one, because of my iPhone. After a lot of debating with friends(iPad vs Everyone else) I decided to go with the Galaxy. I really liked the size. It seems to be a bit smaller than an iPad, but larger than a Kindle. So far(3 Months) I am very pleased with my purchase. The Verizon network seems to be very strong around my house as well as when I travel. As far as an ereader it works very well. It has the Amazon Kindle app preloaded, so downloading books is easy right out of the box. The screen is very functional and easy to read from. I guess if I had a complaint it would be that the battery length could be longer. It isn't a deal breaker, but it could be longer. Maybe I am just expecting too much. Hope this helps.

This is the same ping pong table we have at our lake house. Other than our boat it is the best addition we have made. It is okay to leave it outdoors so we can leave it out on our deck and not worry about it. It is water proof so if a drink gets spilled on it we just wipe it up. It also makes a good table for a drinking game now and then. It simple to move around and store. This is nice because we are only there on the weekends, so during the week we fold it up and put it in the basement. My only complaint was the directions to put it together were a bit confusing. They could have defiantly been clearer, but we eventually we figured it our. I might buy another one for backup incase anything every happens to this one.

We made this little addition to our house a few months ago. I never really played foosball until I got to college and now I am the one to beat. This thing is awesome and extremely durable. Needless to say it takes a beating in our house. I wish it was a little easier to clean up because we have had a few beverages spilled on it, but that is mostly our fault. Overall it was a good price and it is easy to use for beginners and experts alike.

I am not sure what your budget is, but as far as quality goes this set by Dewalt is hands down the best set I have every had. You will have to pay a pretty penny for them though. They have great power and battery life. Their design feels and looks good. I read below that you were pretty sure that you weren't interested in Dewalt. I am not sure what your reasoning is, but as a life long Dewalt user I just wanted to let you know that they are worth a second look. Hope this helps.

I needed something that was very portable and comfortable. I use this hammock at my home, at my lake house, and on 1 or 2 camping trips a year. It folds down into a very small bag and is essentially grab and go. Putting it up and taking down is a breeze, but don't forget to purchase the hammock hanging kit. Also it is machine washable which is good when one of your kids spills pop all over it. I hope this helps.

I have a two year old who stays awake for about 6 minutes on our bike rides. I went with this design so he has a place to rest his head as well a secure seat harness. I was pleasantly pleased with this purchase, because it wasn't that expensive and the install was fairly easy. On top of being easy to install, it is also easy to take off. This is good for unplanned trips with my friends. I like being a dad, but I don't think I could take razzing I would get if I was of flying down a hill with an empty child passenger seat on one of our day trips. Over all, very happy with it.

I drew a Tag for big horn up in washington state so it was self guided. I also have Bushnell binoculars that I really like so I stayed within the brand and bought this scope. It performed in multiple weather conditions and never fogged up. If you are doing any kind of mountain terrain hunting I would recommend a scope like this. You don't want to walk a mile only to find that what you were stalking wasn't what you though it was. I know from experience haha.

I just recently bought this monitor. So far it has outperformed all of my expectations. It is defiantly within your budget, and it is ultra thin. I cannot find any dead/or stuck pixels. Runs extremely quiet for such a large monitor. I imagine that you are looking for something similar to this.

I am assuming you are looking for something that will cut out UV rays and protect your lens from outdoor debris. Many companies claim that their filters cut out the haze(From UV Rays) that sometimes appears in your photos. Well after multiple attempts I finally found one that does. This sigma is priced right and does the job. I hope this helps.

I was a little skeptical of the Pentax, but after the first couple of days I was sold. I have used multiple brands of SLR and this is just as good if not better than any camera I have ever had. The body will cost you around $900, which gives you some budget left over for a good lens. It shoots video at 720p, and is very compact. I could't ask for much more in this price range.

I spent the money on a GPS and it always seemed off. Finally I broke down and bought this rangefinder and found that at times my gps was 30 yards off. This rangefinder is light and slim. I use it on the course as well as in my yard to range pitch and chip shots. I even have a 200 yard shot set up. It is not tigers practice facility, but I am getting my handicap down. Hit'em good.

My wife and I had some friends that were caught in wildfire. Thank god after a day they got out okay, but nonetheless they said all they could think about was not being prepared. This was my wake up call. We have two children and needed something dependable. We finally chose this pack by Ready America. There are so many things we can't control, but at least now we will be prepared.

It is a little pricy but if you are looking for the best than I would go with something similar to the Qosmio. It is extremely fast with out of this world graphics and multimedia features. I bought this to replace my desktop. I program, watch movies and play games with no problems. Only draw back is its size, but if you are doing a lot of programming you are going to want a screen that you can see and a keyboard that is close to full size.

This is a pretty solid set of clubs especially if you are looking for a starter set. It gives you all the clubs you need for a fun day out on the couse. The quality of the bag leaves a little left to be desired, but you can always upgrade to a better bag for under 100 bucks. Like I said earlier this is a good starter set, but one of the best parts about golf is piecing together your own unique set of clubs. Once you get comfortable with your swing don't be afraid to upgrade because there is a lot of really cool equipment out there.
