Aztaro Reviews: Razer Deathadder

Mice are good, mice are amazing, mice get the job done, then there's this mouse. The Deathadder has extra customizable buttons, selectable DPI and it can light up if you so desire. It's a great mouse... that is if you aren't me or some other customer who used it. My experience with this product was that for one, I loved the USB cord, I will give it that. Now why I don't like it, the mouse would "studder" in games. The program/drivers lagged my visuals and the click seemed to be "off" in some way, I'm not sure how to describe it but it felt I needed to really "want" it to click for it to work. As well another person I heard talk about it [keeping them anonymous] "It's a good mouse don't get me wrong, but the scroll wheel is bugged [...] after some time it starts to scroll extra units". A problem I didn't have [cause I returned it right once I started having problems], but I'm sure would annoy me once I get them. If you're a gamer, don't get it unless you can get it for free, if it's just a replacement for someone who just wants any old mouse for scrolling through the internet, by all means... though this would be an expansive mouse for just that... anyway buyers beware

Aztaro Reviews: Newegg.com

COMPUTER GEEKS AND NERDS UNITE!
Well if you're anything into computers more than just having one you'd probably know about this site, it's been out there for a while

Aztaro Reviews: Newegg.com

This computer I'm using was built by me [not bragging], it's pretty dang good for the price I got on it [bragging] and I'm glad I got out of the whole, buying already assembled computers. If I were to buy this computer already assembled at the time I got it, it would have been ~$900-~$1000 dollars, I got it for ~$415 dollars. Yeah building your own can save you quite a bit of money and with most of their sales going on you are sure to get something for a good to great price.

Their Website is a bit overwhelming if you're looking for one thing but learning how to use it is laughably easy to pick up. It shows all the information you need on a part or the item of your choice, has customer reviews [some more accurate than others] and the payment system is very secure. I've used the site many times and like I said, once you get one idea on how the navigation works, it works for just about everything else. With loads of parts over many brands you are use to find a part you want for a price you'll love. they also have a comparing system to help you see, side by side, which part you want to get easier than opening all the parts in new tabs and looking each over.

The shipping, just wow, I always choose the 7 day cause I'm cheap but also depending on size, it comes in about 2-3 days, 6-7 day wait and getting it in less than half of that most of the time, I'm not complaining. Standard warranties for both through the website AND the company? It's like twice the protection for your buy and if you are a butter finger or have some unknown problems they do offer website extended warranties. This site also has the users review the product, not the companies, so you can get people who experienced the item first hand and it can be useful to know... or you can get some person who blames shipping and gives it a bad review. Seriously, don't be that person, it's not any ones fault but the process it went through to get shipped, please rate a good product, not a damaged one.

Personal Thoughts: I basicly said it into the review, ha HA! Got you to read them anyway.

Final Thought: Even if you are a person who just buys computers already assembled, this is still a site for you, they have them as well for probably a better price than a store and would you rather get tech support from people who deal with computers? Or someone who also deals with Clothing, Books, Food and diapers? Clearly Newegg.com is something to look at.

Aztaro Reviews: Windows 8

Hey-a people of the interwebs, the system of pipes, internets and what not. I'm here with another review and it's some what relevant!

Aztaro Reviews: Windows 8 [64 bit]

I was helping a family member get a holiday gift when what do you know a person I knew was working behind the counter. I got the family member the item and then talked to the clerk who was in a class with me in college. He was saying how Windows 8 PC's were flying off the shelves, he then showed me the discs. "Yeah those are cool but I don't think I need an upgrade yet". Who was I kidding I wanted it but being a good salesman and knowing I was a techie he worked his magic and next thing I knew I lost ~$80 and was wondering how they did it.

Story time over, I installed it, very easy and installs in what felt like less than 10 minutes, no joke, updates, drivers and all! I didn't have a touch screen monitor but it didn't matter, it was good with a mouse and still the same touch concepts really. I was quickly customizing and downloading programs being happy and enjoying it's amazing performance [only big word I'll use is RAM memory association, it's amazing how it can use so little for the OS]. I was fairly impressed even with the number of free apps and programs.

Personal Thoughts [skip if you don't care]: Now I was amazed by the speed and simplicity but the interface is extremely new and different, obviously meant for touch enabled PC's. Also another thing I noticed is it hated my graphics card as in I had to run it without drivers due to when they were [automatically installed, like almost every other driver], the HD tv I was using as monitor would not fit the screen. What I mean is the computer was "zooming in" and cutting off the edges of my screen, but uninstall of drivers fixed it. Another problem I ran into was not all programs are compatible, that's a given so not much to complain. After wasting some time reinstalling everything [programs, not drivers, those were automatic] I started up Steam and was about to enjoy some games when it instantly crashed. I tried another and same result, I was like "Seriously? come on". I was only able to get about 30% of my games to work and they weren't even the newer ones, they were older than 2010. This was a big no no on my half, in my frustration I just reinstalled 7 and waited for an update that will fix it [I head there will be one soon so that will fix my main issue].

Final Thought: Windows 8 is [when I last used it] a glitchy mess, but some can be over looked or dealt with. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it needs some time and updates before a try, I enjoyed navigating the apps and pages, it was a neat experience when I got use to it. All I'm saying is if it gets fixed the "Windows Theory" [every other OS is bad is the bottom line of it] maybe put to rest here, it just needs it's glitches and some software problems dealt with.

I know this is old and it's been out but I been busy or to tired/sick to post, YAY PROCRASTINATION!
