Verified Purchase:Yes
This is another set of really great songs from Joe Satriani. This would not rank in my top the Satch albums, but it's still a top notch effort. Some of the songs may sound a little too similar to material from previous albums, but Joe's playing is incredible as always.

What's great about it: good songs, amazing guitar playing
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42 strings since the late 80s and I still love them and put them on all of my guitars. These are time proven strings. You can't go wrong with them.

I was a little skeptical of these speakers because of the price, and because of some negative reviews I read. I can say that I'm extremely happy with these speakers after having them in my HT setup for a week now.
I needed to replace some very large KLH floor speakers that were about 3 1/2 feet tall and were acting as FL/FR, and to replace some larger JBL bookshelf speakers that I was using for rear surrounds (one of the JBL speakers started buzzing after my daughter knocked one over and stood on the cone when she was a toddler).
My center channel is a Polk Audio CS series speaker, and I wanted to finally get front and surround speakers to match. I listened to the T15s in the store, and I thought they sounded a little dull compared to the other speakers, but they were on sale for 50% off, so I figured I'd give them a chance and I bought 2 pairs.
When I first hooked them up, I thought they sounded like there was a little too much high end, but I hoped with some break-in time, they would start to sound better. I did have to increase the level of my sub since these don't put out as much bass as my previous floor speakers did, but they still have pretty decent bass for such little speakers.
After only 3 or 4 days, the speakers started to come to life. We watched Pacific Rim and I was blown away by how good these little speakers sounded. My kids have been playing some PS3 games that use a lot of surround, and they sound incredibly clear and life-like.
As I said, I did have to increase the sub-woofer level a little bit, but that's only because my previous front speakers had more bass than they really needed and I had the sub down some.
Overall I'm very happy with these. I was only hoping to get at least as good of a sound out of these as with my previous speakers, and they've ended up being much better. I'd recommend giving them some good break-in time. Once that happens, these are amazing speakers with clear sound that are an amazing value.
What's great about it: Small size with great sound
What's not so great: Nothing yet

The box says they were "designed and engineered" in Maryland, and made in Malaysia.

All I wanted was a nice computer at the desk for going on-line for news, do research, email, some light to medium downloading. This thing does that very well. I'm not a gamer, so can't make any judgment either way there. Plays standard and high def movies just fine from about any video file I've tried, same with music.
Keyboard has a very nice, smooth feel and action, touchpad is nice and smooth but lacks a scrolling feature. Touch screen is a bit better than some I've tried and works well. For me, it's more a toy until I get more use to it. Setup went fast and easy, then updated quickly. Overall, I'm pleased with the unit. Especially like that I can, and did, make recovery disks for it, some computers don't give that option anymore. Plenty of hard drive space, more than enough for most people. Nice operating system. What's not to like about this little computer.

Scrolling?
May 13, 2014
You mentioned that the touchpad lacks scrolling. Do you mean that the Windows 8 two finger scrolling doesn't actually work on this machine, or are you referring to the old style single finger scrolling where there was a side section of the touchpad just for scrolling?
So far, every touchpad I've used in Windows 8 worked well with two finger scrolling, so I'm curious if that isn't working on this laptop.
