Pros: Quiet Low power (it is powered by PCI bus and doesn't require anything else) Build quality Plays well with Linux

Cons: I don't have any cons at this time.

Overall Review: I was looking to upgrade an older and a newer Linux box from integrated graphics. After a bit of time spent considering my budget I found that this card was priced right and a good performance value. The build quality of this card was better than expected. This card plays well with Linux but was a bit finicky on first boot. Once I was able to stay on the desktop for longer than a few seconds I loaded Software & Updates and installed the nVidia 352 drivers and everything was right as rain. On my new machine this card plays well with VirtualBox which runs Win10 on a second monitor (via HDMI to VGA). The gaming in the VM environment is exceptional, however, on the older machine Virtualbox is sluggish with Win10 and gaming is not going to happen and have attributed this to the age of the computer. Considering the build quality, I look forward to having this graphics cards with me for a long time. If you're like me and don't need the best but don't want to settle for mediocre, consider this chipset.

Pros: Firmware 1.05 makes this a usable device ... finally.

Cons: I bought this at Best Buy for $35, I wasn't expecting much but I expected it to work better than it did out of the box. It took three days of tweaking the 1.03 firmware to keep my Macbook online wired or unwired. I updated immediately to the 1.04 firmware, it was better but random reboots and wireless drops. I flashed the firmware to a different DLink router completely and finally found the stability but lost the ability to Save Changes to settings. Do not buy this router, leave this page, go find something else that's inexpensive. To all who bought this router and were disappointed, you need to read the reviews, we're not lying.

Overall Review: First off, update firmware to v1.05 and you will cry a little, like a did, at the fact that this plastic brick has sprung new life. If you are going to be using this router for multiple wireless connections, be aware that this is a one lane highway, when you are sending data you can not be receiving data. To get the router stable for multiple connections turn on the "G" only mode and turn off the channel auto scan (I set my Channel to 6). This method works for three Macbooks and still provides, at minimum levels, 200KBps to each. These simple changes have minimized the dropped connections greatly. Keep uPnP enabled but turn off Gaming Mode and Multicast Streams, those two features when on are B-U-G-G-Y, its not worth the advertised benefit. Finally, if you don't know what VPN is disable the following for better stability (in Firewall Settings under Advanced) PPTP, L2TP and IPSec.

Pros: I'm not familiar with the Windows issues that the below reviewers seem to be reporting. The board has exceeded my expectations when it comes to my linux install. I left my Linux OS intact on a Crucial 128GB MX1 SSD and moved my user directory to a WD Blue 320GB drive. On first boot into Ubuntu all of the hardware was detected and anything missing was installed through an update which I had expected. Gigabyte's Linux support has always exceeded most other manufacturers. If you're going with Linux expect no problems with support.

Cons: I don't have enough time I get a cup of coffee when I restart.

Overall Review: On first boot, I updated the BIOS to the latest Gigabyte had available and perhaps this is an explanation as to why I haven't had the issues of the other reviewers.

Pros: The radio is highly compatible with older devices as it uses an older bluetooth 2.1 protocol and auto connects to the host device, no need for passcodes or pressing another button to pair. A "unique" sounds let me know when it turns on/off and paired. Audio quality is good with no rattles and I have charged it once and it is still going strong. The build materials are fantastic, aluminum with leather and a cloth net protecting the face.

Cons: I've noticed a finite limit at about 20' where the bluetooth transfer loss causes the audio to cutout. Volume is not normalized so don't stray too far from the host or speaker, those around you will thank you for turning it down. There's no rattle and no bass. The bass is on the high end of the lower spectrum, drum and bass sounds like drum and cymbal, kind of a bummer there.

Overall Review: I have two young boys and this speaker travels around the house with us. Whether we're jamming to Laurie Berkner or chilling to Tycho the audio quality has always been good. Notable extras were the black and brown leather handles and pull string bag. My wife likes how it looks ...

Pros: I bought this to upgrade my network backbone and the configuration is stupid easy.

Cons: You think you have time to get a cup of coffee and browse the paper transferring files? Well, now you don't. I'm curious what the "Green" actually means for it's durability over the years but at the price I paid, I can replace it twice over 5 years and still have saved money.

Overall Review: No other thoughts, the speed is great. If you are wanting to connect this directly to another device like a router, plan on having only 7 ports available because one will be used for that connection.

Pros: I needed an upgrade to my aging Fujitsu 250GB drive, it was becoming noisy and slowing down by the day it seemed. This drive wasn't my first choice but the prices on hard drives has been unpredictable. There's no random head parking due the drive's lack of drop detection that would conflict Apple's built-in process. Without that trouble, reinstallation of my latest Snow Leopard Time Machine backup was straight forward. I just had to repair permission and rebuild my Aperture library and everything was just as I left it. My Boot Camp installation of Win7 was pretty unexciting and straight forward, nothing weird from the drive. This drive is HUGE, 750GBs in a laptop has now empowered me to store work files externally less often and streamlining my workflow without worrying about free space.

Cons: Only an 8MB buffer. This hasn't had as direct of an impact on performance as I figured it would because the disk's overall XBench score was still over 50 but the price was right. Installing in an older Macbook Pro would be nerve racking for a person with no prior experience as I had to remove 20 or screws and expose the mainboard. I'm going to have to upgrade to a larger external drive to house my Time Machine backups.

Overall Review: This was, overall, a smooth and solid update. From disassembling my Macbook Pro to completing the installation of Snow Leopard from a Time Machine backup, the process was only 4 hours. No surprises, both Snow Leopard and Win7 via Bootcamp recognized the drive. I would recommend this drive to any person interested in updating their non-unibody Macbook Pro.
