Acer Aspire
Pros: -Price -Graphics card is by far the best within a $500+ range of this model -Keyboard is very nice, much better then my previous computer -Quadcore at a way more affordable price If you are still not sure if you should buy this notebook its an easy decision. You won't find anything with hardware this good for a price like this.
Cons: -Speakers suck I would have given this a higher rating had the speakers been a little bit better. They are probably the lowest quality I have seen yet in a laptop. But if you adjust the audio setting and set it to surround sound the quality gain is quite substantial.
Best SSD!
Pros: -Super fast -Got it for 45% off -Lighter and Faster than previous OCZ Vertex 4 (Noticeably)
Cons: None.
Quality control is needed
Pros: -Incredibly fast and I havn't even oced it yet. -Everything starts instantly
Cons: -First stick I put in was DOA! G.Skill needs to check their products more thoroughly, especially when this ram set is top notch and over $300! I will probably have to return the whole set and be pc-less for a week or 2 while I wait on newegg...
Great case
Pros: -Awesome cable management -Love the hot swap drives (Offers one cable to MOBO to power all drives!) -Fans control air flow well -Spacious (Never thought to my self that I wish I had gotten a bigger case -Front panel cables were pre-organized to save time on setup
Cons: -Hated where they put the screws. (They "hid" them inside of the hot swap bay area. It requires about 25 mins to get them out and 10 screws later.) No matter it wasn't worth losing an egg because this case is still awesome for the price.
Nice monitor
Pros: -Good price I got it black friday for 179.99 -Great picture -Very easy assembly
Cons: -No DVI cable. (I was surprised, they are generally standard on monitors, especially in this price range.) -Also lacked an audio cable. Strange as well. I know ASUS always gives both.
Fastest non PCI-SSD you can buy.
Pros: -No issues -Fastest SSD
Cons: none
Overall Review: I own 4 of these. I have had no issues with any of them. I would highly recommend this drive for any system upgrade. I even put them in laptops. If people have issues they are quite rare and its just a defective unit. It happens.
