AMD Phenom II X4
Pros: Runs great..... Overclocks easily ... runs reasonably cool
Cons: none
Overall Review: Using an after market cpu cooler ... run about 49C /120F when overclocked to 3.4 ghz per core. WIll run faster than that also.

Long lasting hard drive
Pros: These hard drives are fast and reliable.
Cons: none
Overall Review: These hard drives are fast and reliable. I have one that is nine years old and works perfectly. No errors or problems at all. As a note, I have had it in and out of different computers , but it has always performed flawlessly. I would definitely purchase again, but the newer Western Digital hard drives that are 7200 rpm BLACK editions are faster than these drives.
G.Skill Ripjaws
Pros: Simply works perfectly with no problems.
Cons: Failed in a years time, so I had to replace one memory stick.

Cons: none.
Overall Review: A lifetime anti-malware product that woks this good is almost a must-buy. No more lifetime subscriptions if you buy it now.
Asus C100PADB02 flip chrome book
Pros: Asus C100PADB02 flip chrome book review ..... This is a good looking , well built chrome book. It looks more expensive than it costs. It boots in less than 10 seconds from being powered off. It shuts down in about 1 second. I like the 10 inch screen size for portability sake. It loads web pages quickly. I use it to watch NFL football online at the maximum bandwidth 4500 Kbps that the site allows and it works fine. If it can run at that bandwidth, without stuttering , it can basically handle any web streaming you will need. It has the Rockchip 1.8 Ghz quad core processor which means it is about 10 to 15 percent slower in performance than the Intel Celeron dual core 2.0 GHZ cpu and the Tegra K1 2.1 GHZ quad core cpu, but that means the battery life is about 10 to 12 hours due to the processor's lower power requirements. The other two have about 7 to 8 hours of battery life. It converts to tablet mode and lays flat. Another review said it is slow, but I have no clue what they are talking about, unless they have a huge number of webpages open or they are connected to a poor internet source. Also remember, it has 2 gig of ram , so most computers will slow down if too many web pages are open with that amount of memory. I have zero concerns with the speed of it. I was amazed the first time I used a chrome book at their speed. That speed is basically because it is a Linux operating system with a Windows look to it . However, if you want a little more speed. The Celeron and Tegra K1 cpu based chrome books are faster but have shorter battery life. I would definitely purchase it again.
Cons: The slowest of the 4 main processors types used in chrome books. So choose 15 percent more speed or 3 to 4 more hours of battery life.
Overall Review: One person gave it a negative review because it seemed to have "ghost" keypad presses". That is due to the default mode on the keypad being in "activate if you hover over an icon for 2 seconds mode". I returned one because I thought it was defective, as in it seemed like the left keypad button was always active. If you do not deactivate this mode, it will "click" to open or close tabs or icons that you do not want it to activate or close.
