Been happy and no complaints
Pros: This RAM combo has kept up with everything I've ever asked it to do. It's fast, it's reliable. I went through 4 different failed motherboards this year in my desktop and these stick have been one sold device that has been to suffer with poor quality in other areas.
Cons: I bought the 16GB sets separately, and I know at the beginning when I was only running the 16GB there were times when the ram was having trouble keeping up.
Overall Review: I couldn't be happier, I may switch brands of RAM frequently with my builds, but in my desktop G-Skill has earned my trust, respect, and brand loyalty. That's something not easily earned in the PC business.
Okay, little improvment with Windows 8
Pros: Boots quick, light, can put what you want on (though may not run), great battery charge
Cons: Windows 8, touchscreen iffy at best, not nearly enough power
Overall Review: It took 5 tries to get windows 8 upgraded (kept saying it there was a mistake and froze. Required a complete reinstall), most games I want to run are hindered to a small square on the screen because of two choices in screen resolution. Don't let the full windows 8 fool you, in app mode it works great, desktop mode lags, crashes, and is an all round crummy experience. Still one of the better tabs I have owned.
Fast little #*?@er
Pros: Fast, reliable, easy install, good price considering others in its class.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I came across these mSATA drives a little over a year ago and have been amazed with them ever since I had my Intel NUC boot windows 7 in under 20sec. I picked up a raid card and popped two of these bad boys in it and it's amazing, almost 1tb of space and it is lightening fast. Still have 2 empty slots which I going to fill with two more of these at well. For some reason every benchmark I have used has tested these faster than the Samsung drives I own. mSATA is the way of the future, just need to get the rest of the world to realize how amazing these chips really are.
Keep the keyboard perfectly dry
Pros: It was fast, and had an easy hard drive change
Cons: Ram not upgradable, came with windows 8, spilled a little water on the keyboard and it fried.
Overall Review: I picked mine up here refurbished in the spring for using while on the road, a couple days after the warranty expired, sitting at a coffee shop and someone bumps the table. A little bit of water splashes down onto the keyboard so I shut down the computer as quickly as I could. Let the computer dry out in warm room face down for 24 hours and go to start it up. I have the flashing green light but that's it. Wait another 24 hours and then nothing. I will admit that dumping a bottle of water is excessive but not the mouthful that fell on this thing. My Dell survived half a coffee and still works fine, you'd think Asus would be better than Dell in every way. I still swear by Asus with their desktop hardware, just a little unsure about the durability of their laptops.
Always Perfect
Pros: Easy to set-up, Never has any issues, fast, and durable and reliable
Cons: None that I've found
Overall Review: I've gone through tons for external drives in my lifetime, I went cheap and bought and alost 2 Toshiba drives this year alone due to falling over next to my speaker. I keep all my games on external drives so loosing them is really painful, Seagate is always the one that never gives me a headache. Plus with Seagate external drives, once I'm done with it, I can pull it from its external case and toss it inside a desktop if I wish. No complaints.
