Pros: Fast and stable. Handles HD video editing well. The fastest 775 socket chip I could find.

Cons: It's not a quad core that fast.

Overall Review: This is my last 775 CPU. By the time I need an upgrade from this one, it'll be time for a new motherboard and to move on up to the next socket type.

Pros: Good, solid platform. Easy to use. Lots of software runs well on it. Installed all needed drivers without needing the discs from my motherboard and wifi card.

Cons: When installing, comes with a long list of things to turn off information sent to Little Brother Microsoft. And still goes through an account you set up with them to log in to your own computer. It even wanted me to confirm that it was me on one occasion by texting a number to my phone to enter to the confirmation page. Another time, I was scanning some newly-made photo negatives when the Photos app I wasn't even using popped up an alert that it had created a new album for my scans in progress. Then when I put a stop to that I noticed another notice in the system tray leading me to find Photos app downloading unauthorized (by me) add-ons tied to One Drive, for which I don't even intend to set up an account. Lucky I caught that in time to stop it short of downloading that Microsoft malware/spyware. I paid to license Microsoft's intellectual property with which to operate my computer but they haven't paid me to access my intellectual property from my 35mm hobby. Just because I buy a license to use their operating system on my home-built PC doesn't make it any of Microsoft's business when I log in to my own computer or what I do with it. Then to make matters worse, it repeatedly and involuntarily "updates" my video driver to one not completely compatible with my hardware making it impossible to watch streaming video in sync with its audio until I dig up my old disc and re-install my original driver... ... until it breaks it again the next day.

Overall Review: This feels like Microsoft want's to control what people can do on their own computers, and this version of windows is the gas ring lighting up to boil the frog slowly.

Overall Review: I was initially apprehensive to see that the fit of the box was the only thing holding the drive's SATA connection to the electronics. But it does a great job of it, so no cause for concern there. Once I installed a storage HDD I had been using in a big ATX tower, This enclosure's button style and placement and its LED indicator located on the back end of the side of the box where I can see it make this box nicer and easier to use as an external drive on a daily basis. Nicer and easier than enclosures costing twice as much.

Pros: What would be a lot a bang for the buck, so far as specs for price.

Cons: Uses audio hardware not yet supported in the Linux kernel. No sound on Linux. No driver found for the issue.

Overall Review: The most awesome silent laptop I've ever had. Too bad there's no driver patch for the audio issue. Would have been a celebrated purchase instead of the buyer's regret that it is.

Overall Review: Careless purchase. I was looking for an 11th gen i5 with the integrated graphics I've come to expect of Core i-series CPUs. This one does not have it.

Pros: Lets me de-clutter my tower by leaving out the unneeded cables. Has a second +12V cable available for a motherboard that takes 2 of them, both 4+4 pin plugs to handle one 4 pin and one 8 pin effortlessly.

Cons: At least on mine, the main 24 pin motherboard power plug doesn't want to plug in as securely as it should. Plugging cables into the PSU box feels unsure of when it's snapped in good.

Overall Review: What else can I say? My pros and cons pretty much cover my opinion of it.

See title of review.

RAM was listed as being DDR4 2933. My motherboard's UEFI setup says that it's DDR4 1933. Not compatible with my CPU.

My new SSD was exactly as represented and shipped promptly. What more could be asked of a seller?
