Most Favorable Review

Pros: The speed renewed my macbook pro 1st gen. Using it without pauses for MS Office apps to settle makes using it fun again.

Cons: Installing on a mac 1st gen can be daunting, but it can be done with careful instructions.

Overall Review: I am investing in these so the price will start to come down.

Poor Support - Awesome Product

Acer Laptop Aspire E E5-573G-52G3 Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2 GB 15.6" Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Pros: Excellent features and design Exceptional graphics Impressive build for the price

Cons: Acer support is poorly designed. Here is what I encountered > Two weeks before the warranty expired in July the power supply for the computer went out. I know this because I checked it with a meter. I contacted support and they sent me details on sending the part back for repair. No additional communications from Acer. Mind you this is for the power supply for the computer - kind of important to deal with quickly. In November the Temple, TX facility sent me a cord. The cord that would normally plug into the power supply. They did not ship me back my power supply. They did not send me a new power supply. They simply sent me a cord that is useless without a power supply. No additional information was provided. When I try to contact Acer to find the rest of my product, I am sent to a paid support site and cannot get anyone on the phone to consider the error.

Overall Review: The product has proven to be exceptional, but if you have a repair issue you will possibly now be able to use the product for several months due to poor service out of the Texas USA support center. Or budget for having to pay someone else to fix the computer.

Beware of Limits of this Cable

BYTECC BTA-30 11.81 in. (30cm) Black HDMI Female & DVI-D(Dual link) Female with Nuts to HDMI Male Adaptor

Pros: Quality cable and connector quality is high.

Cons: After connecting this cable I noticed it was loosing data on my monitor so I put it on a cable tester and scope. HDMI does not carry a clean signal at better than 1080i due to what appears to be a simple design flaw.

Overall Review: The cable splits between the HDMI and DVI connectors which might be causing the signal degradation. This is an unfortunate design flaw for anyone who wants to use this on a computer monitor over 1080 width and possibly lower.
