This thing is boss

ASUS Google Nexus 7 FHD (2013) Android Tablet -  2 GB RAM Quad-Core CPU 16 GB Flash (Wi-Fi Only)

Pros: Been using this tablet for a while now, about 4 weeks, and I gotta say, this thing is the bee's knees. Its super quick, likely due to the quad-core SOC, and the display is awesome. I have been able to stream video from my desktop computer's hard-drive to it and it looks great. Coming from someone who STILL doesn't have a smartphone, having this device is great and suits my needs perfectly as a mobile device for web-browsing and the such. Battery-life is really good too, I thought it'd be a lot worse than it is. lasts pretty much all day, using wi-fi. Excellent price for this thing, I would recommend it to anyone.

Cons: Can't really think of any. Another fine Nexus product.

Cool, quiet, powerful

Pros: This GPU can handle everything I throw at it, high levels of detail in the games I am playing: Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Arkham City. Spits out a glorious experience, but what would you expect from the 79XX series? Good price, and the heatsinks and fans keep it really cool, it is usually around 45-50 degrees under load. May try overclocking with those temps. Probably could shoot it up to 7970 numbers with temperatures like that. Oh and if you are into ricing out your case, it has a pimpin' LED on it too.

Cons: Can't accelerate Nvidia phys-x, unfortunately, due to proprietary software, but I'm not entirely sure it's needed.

Lovely and elegant human-computer interface

Pros: Keyboard is heavy, feels sturdy. Keys are responsive, feel good to touch, the tactile response is great. The key symbols look to be laser cut into a matte black powder-coat over a clear plastic key. The blue light is striking, very pronounced. Satisfying audible feedback, without being too overt. Quality craftsmanship, simple keyboard. Makes for an excellent typing experience.

Cons: Personally, I wish the lock keys did NOT have a green LED, a simple on/off blue would suffice, but it's not a huge deal.

Overall Review: Spent some time on this keyboard after buying it. I was talked into ponying up the cash for a mechanical keyboard after speaking to a few people at my school. As a computer science major, I spend a lot of time typing code, and I have a philosophy of buying quality items for thing that you spend a lot of time using, like my memory foam bed. At first I was skeptic, and wondering if it was worth the money, but now I am sold on the idea that this keyboard is the bee's knees. I would recommend it to anyone.
