Excellence Achieved
Pros: This laptop is loaded down to the core. Wether you like to use it for gaming or business or entertainment. Every aspect about this laptop is great. For people who enjoy high definition entertainment the 1080p screen will not dissapoint you. The brightness is more than enough although other reviews disagree. The sound is magnanamous. The harmon/kardon speakers really make the difference. It is just something that adds to the entertainment aspect of things. The backlit keyboard also adds flavor & functionality to things. The processor paired with the 6gb ram pulls through on almost all aspects of things. Wether its browsing or using photoshop. It really is a "desktop replacement". For gaming I tested only guild wars at maximum settings and smooth as butter is all I can say. You cannot expect it to run games like crysis at high settings but it ran it at medium settings with medium to high resolution with satisfactory results. If you are looking for a long term futureproof laptop, heres #1
Cons: The backlight on keyboard is one color. And is not red, but white. Not a con but just wish I could change colors for it. The audio outputs only have 1 headphone jack, so no hope for setting up 5.1 speakers if you are using it for complete desktop replacement. None are serious cons, but as far as audio is concerned, I have a pair of 300$ sennheiser headphones and I must say: my audiophobia did not kick. Very satisfactory sound. Not exactly like the champion serious but still satisfactory. Also experienced random screen lockups with browser flash in fullscreen. For example watching something on hulu and making it fullscreen and then it messes up the onscreen video and can't be fixed without restarting. I dnt know but it happened on all browsers.
Overall Review: I hope this review was helpful. The laptop truly is great and toshiba definetly lived up to its name. If you are looking for something to truly live with and not spend 4.5k on a maxed out laptop, this will keep you happy and it is very sturdy. The build feels solid and it hasn't dissapointed me yet. And I hope it won't dissapoint you...
Died after 1 week of usage (Twice
Pros: The only pro was that it worked great when it was alive.
Cons: The headset died after 3 days the first time and 4 days on the second time. I was careful not to get any sweat or moisture near it. But both times it just died after I left it for charging and would not turn on. No blame to newegg on this part.
Overall Review: Newegg customer service was great, had to stay on the phone barely for 2 minutes to simply get a refund the second time around. And their prices are simply the best. I really think newegg should discontinue this headset any further.
Acceptable Performance
Pros: Its corsair quality. Very light! Great performance.
Cons: The biggest con I had with this thing was the fact the rated speeds would literally only reach in ATTO. Which is not a real world performance measure. SSDs can write compressed data better, but almost nothing that most people use is compressed (Music, Movies, Zip/Rar, & Games) So it is just not correct advertisement.
Overall Review: I got the OCZ Vector 128GB Drives. Individually they reach spec speeds on Crystal Disk Mark (Which I prefer for hard drives) and in raid I get roughly 850mb give or take read and the same in write speeds. So not turning anyone away from the product. But its just something to keep in mind. PS: I'm not bashing Corsair at all, cause I used their case, Vengeance Headsets 1500, K90 Keyboard, M95 Mouse and I am loving all of it.
Not bad choice
Pros: There was really no damage at all on the ipad. There were some duct tape marks left on it, but nothing an alcohol pad couldn't remove. Overall very satisfied as I am definetly a fan of apple products in general.
Cons: Was not that much cheaper than the price on the website. I could have gotten a new one for a less than a hundred dollars.
Overall Review: I would say anyone looking for an ipad and don't care about engraving it, then go for it. It really had no damage on it and return policies are ok for it. So I cannot say it is a bad deal. 4 Eggs for the simple fact it should have been a little cheaper as it is not brand new.
Excellence is the best word...
Pros: The best reasonably priced with decent storage out there. You also have to take into account that ocz also makes a fair line of products especially when it comes to RAM & SSDs lately. I just bought the second one of these babies and running them both in Raid 0. Excellent speed, windows 7 gives it a 7.7 in raid, and 7.3 solo. Whichever way its not too bad. All in all a good drive.
Cons: The price to me was a little too high, but no reason to take off an egg for. Excellent service from newegg, and backed up by OCZ is still a peace of mind you are paying for. So no Cons per say.
Overall Review: I am running: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Asus Rampage II Mobo Intel i7 920 at stock speed 2.67ghz 12 gb Corsair Ram 1333hz Two 5970 in Crossfire And of course the two drives, excellent for gaming, editing and all other purposes. Will recommend this drive to anyone anyday. Hope this review helped.
