Most Favorable Review

Do not listen to D9 the guy below me

Lenovo Laptop Intel Core i3-3120M 4GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 8 G580 (59359688)
Lenovo Laptop Intel Core i3-3120M 4GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 8 G580 (59359688)

Pros: D9 does not know what he is talking about, max supported memory is 8gb so do not let him mislead you

Cons: having to read the painfully false reviews from wannabe techs

Most Critical Review

Lasted 2 years

TRITTON TRIAX-180 Stereo Analog RCA x 2 or 3.5mm stereo Connector Circumaural AX 180 Universal Gaming Headset
TRITTON TRIAX-180 Stereo Analog RCA x 2 or 3.5mm stereo Connector Circumaural AX 180 Universal Gaming Headset

Pros: Pretty good sound Enough bass to make a difference comfortable (until they break)

Cons: Extremely Fragile. I bought this headset in November of 2010 and have used them up until now. They are great except for the fact that the plastic above each ear piece is extremely cheap. 2 weeks after i bought this pair they broke on one side. 1 month afterwards the other side broke. I treat my Electronic equipment as gently as i can, and yet the small amount of stress my head put on these were enough to crack the plastic. They've been held together by duct tape for the past year.

Overall Review: They have decent sound quality for the price, but have a roll of duct tape on hand for when they break.

Solid Buy

ASUS Laptop K55 Series AMD A8-4500M 6GB Memory 750GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 7640G 15.6" Windows 8 64-Bit K55N-DB81

Pros: Good amount of memory. Spacious hard drive. A8-4500m (great processor with integrated graphics capable of playing my beloved dark souls!) Doesn't get too hot and is relatively light.

Cons: Windows 8 is new to me, though not really a con I DID have to sit down and figure out how everything differed from W7. Windows 8 is what you make of it, if someone were to make a bad review just because of windows 8 *cough cough*, then I wouldn't listen to them. Most people jumped on the hate train for Windows 8 because it's NEW and doesn't have full support yet. Yes it runs "apps" but apps are considered programs too (for the dummy reviewer who said otherwise). The lack of a start button is a turn off for some, though if you hover your mouse in the same area as the start menu is on other OS and click, it takes you to the start screen so no big deal. TL;DR : Don't rate a product bad because of a third party feature.

Great PSU, Cords too short.

Pros: -Great Power supply -Plenty of cables for additional future hardware -Pretty Quiet

Cons: The one and only con I have with this power supply, is that the main power cord to the motherboard is a tad bit short. Proper cable management is neigh impossible, I somehow made the cable reach but it's not the best looking setup.

Overall Review: All in all this is a fine product, just take measurements inside your case to make sure the cable will reach the necessary distance.
