Hardware I own and love or hate

Here is another post I will change over time (should I get around to it).

Notebook:
Acer Predator 17 is my new notebook. Love it.
Gateway P-7811FX Notebook. I am totally spoiled with this laptop. I completely love the 1920x1200, 17 inch screen and can never go back to smaller or less resolution. Two hard drive bays is a must have and good graphics for $1250 at time of purchase. A winner.

Scanner:
Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 This is a great scanner. I buy them refurbished for under $300 and shipped free. They just plan work. Fujitsu has some anal retentive issues for 64 bit drivers and you must call support to get access to them. Why the control freakishness? They are not twain compliant (more freakishness) but who cares. To quickly scan multi-page docs and scraps of this and that, you can't beat it. Warm up is ... well ... what warm up? I ordered my last one from costcentral.com (thus the link) and waited forever to get it but at $271 no tax and free ship I can't complain.

iX500 is the replacement and much faster. Refurm around $300

Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 is a great little USB flatbed for around $49 but it is not replacement for the multipage S1500.

Smart Phone:
Samsung Galaxy 7

Copier:
Canon imageCLASS D1120 is a great copier. It starts fast and runs smoothly but don't know about longevity yet. We used Sharps but had to give up. Each new version started slower and broke sooner. Just picked up 4 Canon's at $289 each shipped after rebate. Newegg is a great store and D1120 is a wonderful copier. Sure, it is an MFC but we use them as a copier. Who makes copiers any more that are not expensive pigs? I can't find any, so MFC it is.

Ear buds:
Monoprice

Pin Not Available

Crazy Error I had not seen before. Pin not available blah blah. I restarted a few times and it finally worked. If it doesn't some say to...
