Woot Advisor

Not sure on this one. This is the first Woot that doesn’t look to be a deal. I was able to find this for $5 woots at several places. Gonna have to let this one slide.

Features:

• Length – 10 feet
• Gold plated USB connectors for maximum conductivity
• Translucent connector and cable overmold for striking appearance
• Cable ends glow to provide visual assurance that USB has power
• Use several different cables to color code your USB peripherals
• USB type A to USB type B cable

I am absolutely TERRIBLE with directions. This little beauty looks like a steal at $219.00 woots. That’s a savings of $181 woots over the next best price I could find. It’s not a refurb and comes with a 1 year warranty, what’s not to love!

I’m not a big fan of HP computers, and this refurb doesn’t inspire me. While you will save about $220 woots over the next best price I could find I think I would let this one pass.
