  this is a nice laptop. have not had any problems with it yet. has some minor scuff marks on it but other then that it works good. i un-installed the clam win anti virus that comes with it and installed avira anti-vir on it. it does not come with recovery disks but you can make your own however mine took 11 CD-rs as it would not let me burn it to dvd.you will need nero or other burning software to split the data onto 11 CD-Rs as it won’t do it by it-self. you will have to save the backup data to your HD then use your burning software to create a backup cd and select the file from your HD. once its done burning to the cds make sure to delete it from the HD and reboot to clear it.

  I bought it to replace an
  off-brand model I had that blew up.
  I have been very happy with the purchase
  though I do recommend getting it with
  windows vista because xp is going to become
  obsolete. (that’s why the xp version is
  so much more affordable..)
  The shipping was very fast and the product
  was used, but looked like it was brand new!
  (It came from a company)

  I own a 2007 MacBook and ever since I bought it I have been bemoaning the fact that the speakers can’t project worth crap. I did buy a pair of standard small speakers for computer or stereo use—-the kind you have to also plug into a wall to get power—-but was frustrated by how un-portable they were. One day I was browsing around on Amazon and I found these speakers and thought they would be the perfect solution to all my lame-speaker-problems. However, being the poor starving college student that I was, I didn’t buy them. This Christmas (after two years of living with my computer’s original speakers), I received them as a gift and I cannot believe I lived for so long before without them. They are exactly what I imagined them to be! I should have bought them for myself when I first found them and sacrificed that really cute jacket I wanted to buy instead .

  The sound quality is very impressive for such small speakers. The fact they plug directly into the USB port is definitely the #1 point in their favor. Obviously, if you are wanting to blast music loud enough for a party, you should probably use larger speakers but for personal laptop use it doesn’t get much better than this. Everyone I have shown them to has also been amazed by how well they work. If you have lame speakers and you want to improve the quality of your sound-life, I say don’t hesitate and get these now!

  These speakers are absolutely perfect as far as I’ve been able to tell. Most importantly, they’re amazingly loud. I can’t turn the laptop volume past halfway before people start to yell at me. The sound quality seems great, but then, I’ve got pretty bad ears. I’d look to the other reviews for information on the sound quality.

  My only concern, and it may well be unfounded, is the vertical stress on the USB port. Since these speakers curve upwards, the only support they have is the USB port itself. They stay exactly how I position them, but I worry about the stress it puts on the USB connection to the motherboard. Of course, I’ve had these for well over a year and haven’t actually had any problems. Plus, they’re really tiny. They’d probably fit in a laptop ’sleeve’ if you didn’t mind a wee bit of scratching.

  The single greatest reason to buy these, though, has nothing to do with their quality. It’s that they look just like E.T’s head! Seriously, it looks like he’s peering at you from behind the screen.

  These speakers are great, but since they only connect to USB they drain your computer’s power. My Macbook could not take the abuse any longer, the speakers stopped working in less than a year. I was very bummed out and could not get them to work anymore.

  The speakers work great! They are small, light and do just what they were advertised to do. We are very happy with them and use them alot.

  Was careful to shop for brand new. Purchased this for a client. Although the refurb is factory, that is NOT what I purchased. Tiger Direct via Amazon, would not use again.
