Pros: Cheap.....Very cheap.

Cons: Cheap.....very cheap. The letters started wearing off the keys after a few months of casual use. That being said, it was only $10,...you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: The Sleep/WakeUp/Power hot keys are right above the arrow keys....not a very well-thought out design.

okay for 31 days

GIGABYTE - G34WQC Advanced - 34" VA Curved Gaming Monitor - WQHD 3440x1440 - 144Hz - 1ms MPRT - AMD FreeSync Premium - HDMI, DP - Height Adjustable - Black

Pros: -None to speak of

Cons: -underwhelming when it worked. -at the 31-day mark (no returns), it developed a horizontal line 1/3 of the way down from the bottom; everything below the line was like looking through a screen door where the background (desktop, etc.) bled into the foreground. - then developed a vertical line an inch in from the left-hand side. -entire RMA process was painful. -Gigabyte uses UPS for US shipping. Had the UPS store do the packaging. monitor arrived at the repair facility with damage from shipping. waited over 2 months for Gigabyte to process the UPS claim. -When they finally sent the replacement, it was missing the base, so still couldn't use.

Overall Review: I will NEVER buy a Gigabyte product again. I've been in IT for 20 years, and this is easily the worst experience I've ever had with a company.

Super Fast

Pros: -small -blindingly fast

Cons: -none

Overall Review: -I threw my OS onto this puppy and my system boots faster than on any other PC I've used. near instantaneous after POST.

'UGE....so big, there's no room for the 'H'

Pros: or anything else for that matter. I'm sure if your case is a warehouse, you'll have no problem with overheating. This thing is massive.

Cons: I checked the measurements prior to ordering; actual dimensions and theoretic dimensions are totally different things. The L x W x H says It "should've" fit into my case, however when everything else was installed, I couldn't even close the side access panel.

Overall Review: Be warned. or just keep it in your car as a back-up radiator...

Great little thumb drive

Pros: small, but not too small. fits perfectly on a keychain

Cons: none really. see other thoughts.

Overall Review: seems to get a little on the warm side when moving large amounts of data, but not frequent enough to make it a con. I use it on an almost daily basis.
