Most Favorable Review

i like it!

Microsoft Arc Mouse - Black
Microsoft Arc Mouse - Black

Pros: I like how quiet this mouse is when it clicks, that way my parents cant tell when I'm gaming (stealth mode! huge plus!) this may be only me, but I really like that the sensor is at the very front of the mouse, so I can just use my wrist to move it across the screen, it requires very little space to operate. I also like being able to wrap my ring and little finger around the back. it is so easy to maneuver. i just love it.

Cons: the extra button on the side is just a little to far forward for me. i would prefer if my thumb rested on the button, but i have to reach a little bit to get it. also, when my laptop wakes up from sleep mode, sometimes it stops detecting the mouse. this is just a minor inconvenience, usually it is fixed by unplugging the wireless dongle, and plugging it back in. one time i had to restart my computer to get it to detect the mouse again.

Overall Review: after a year or so of use(probably more), the left click stopped responding reliably. nothing lasts forever, i think will just buy one again. I definitely recommend it!

Just fine

DELL Intel Core i5-2520M 4GB Memory 128 GB SSD 13.3" Convertible Grade B 2-in-1 Laptop Windows 10 Pro 64-bit XT3
DELL Intel Core i5-2520M 4GB Memory 128 GB SSD 13.3" Convertible Grade B 2-in-1 Laptop Windows 10 Pro 64-bit XT3

Pros: It works well enough for what I needed it for. Performance is decent thanks to the ssd. Licensed for Windows 10 pro.

Cons: Battery life is pretty bad. CMOS battery was completely dead, and needed replacement. Touchscreen drivers are finicky on Windows 10. This can be remedied by disabling the n-trig touchscreen device in device manager and using Windows 10's generic touch drivers. You loose multitouch by doing this though.

Overall Review: I was looking for a low cost touchscreen laptop that also had at least two USB ports for a project I'm working on. This fit the bill nicely.

Absolutely Stunning.

Pros: The picture on this monitor is just fantastic. The color is wonderful. It has no dead or stuck pixels. 1ms response time. very nice.

Cons: No display port. The monitor height is not adjustable.

Overall Review: This is the second Benq monitor I've bought, and I must say that they will be my preferred brand for any future monitor purchases.

Dead Pixel

SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500KW
SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD500KW

Pros: It does everything it is supposed to do, and does it fast. Samsung's data migration program means you don't have to do a full re-install. 500GB! It comes with two stickers for your case. This is very important because I love stickers so much. Is faster and doesn't make my computer crash like my old OCZ SSD did.

Cons: Price could be better.

Overall Review: If it's on sale, buy it. buy it now. It would also be nice if Samsung's data migration software worked for non-Samsung SSDs.
