Good buy

ASUS Taichi21 Intel Core i5 3317U(1.70GHz) 4GB 128GB SSD HDD 11.6" FHD Touchscreen 2-in-1 Ultrabook/Tablet (Taichi21-DH51)
ASUS Taichi21 Intel Core i5 3317U(1.70GHz) 4GB 128GB SSD HDD 11.6" FHD Touchscreen 2-in-1 Ultrabook/Tablet (Taichi21-DH51)

Pros: I wrote a comment earlier, it works great. I have an important discover for those who like bright screens (Read other thoughts). This computer does a great job

Cons: Still the space on the SSD is an issue although there is cloud computing.. and no 3.0 USB? The SSD only has 93GB - 30 between ASUS & Windows 8.. so your down to 60 GB if that. I only installed Chrome, and Office 2013 and I am at 40 GB. No other documents, programs or anything.

Overall Review: Brightness. I said in my other comment that it did not stay bright enough.. Well press FN+ A. This turns of the Autosensor and like magic you can adjust your brightness to be brighter! It is bright and vibrant. Check my other post for additional information in regards to performance and ect.

Do Not Buy EVER

HP Laptop Intel Pentium P6100 4GB DDR3 Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit G72-b57CL
HP Laptop Intel Pentium P6100 4GB DDR3 Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit G72-b57CL

Pros: Nice big screen.. leight weight for the size

Cons: In actuality it is a little over 250 Gig Hard Drive, not 320.. I deleted all the extra bloatware and only got it up to 238 Gig free with a 16 Gig backup partition. I only had it for a week and some files when trying to open gave me a blue screen and then shut down the computer. I checked for a virus, but found nothing. I searched registry, bios, folders.. nothing. And only having it a couple days, I did not transfer a lot of data. It is the same data I used on other computer, so I knew it wasn't the cause. The screen is a bit dim and the mouse pad is unresponsive at times. And no I did not hit the mouse pad lock.

Overall Review: I would never.. ever.. recommend this to anyone! I hope I can get my money back, but looks like Newegg may only give me another. yay..... Time to see how the next one is broken..

Decent

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: It keeps my AMD 8 core cool enough to run and on high settings the temp is between 40-50 C

Cons: It is loud on any setting. If you want a room heater, here it is. It ups my room temp by at leasr 10 degrees after 20 min of game play. Also it sounds like siting behind a jet on the high setting; the other settings are okay if u like the sound of squeeking.

Overall Review: I give it 4 stars because it works and for the price it beats building custom cooling. But the noise is bypassed by headsets, or loud speekers, or zoning out. Heat temp that it throws out is nice in winter

STAY AWAY XFX

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card FX-795A-TDFC

Pros: Looks nice, works good when it wants to

Cons: XFX is the worst people to deal with.. I have been trying to get mine replaced and now its been 2 months! Here's part of the terms and agreements "XFX reserves the right to provide a replacement based on the performance of the original purchased product and not features, current market value, or original purchase price. XFX also reserves the right to replace products with like models of a different type, for example AMD with NVIDIA, or NVIDIA with AMD. Replacements units are refurbished/remanufactured units and any replacement will inherit the warranty of your original product. A replacement does not extend or alter your original warranty." Sound like a safe, and good deal to you? oh, and if any damages happen during shipping... YOUR FAULT according to XFX.

Overall Review: Find a card not XFX MADE
