The Beast
Pros: Comes with everything you could need except a SSD. You probably won't know it isn't new. Mine had no dings or scratches. Does not come with a SSD but has 2 500gb HD's so you can just pop one out and add your SSD, then migrate your operation system to the SSD leaving you with a spare drive. Having the extra drive already saves you buying the cable package to hook up another drive. It is still very fast with the Mech drives. This machine is very fast for a laptop and has great video. I always use a good set of earbuds so the sound is great. Battery life on mine is excellent. It ran for almost 4 hours before I realized I wasn't plugged in. (Thought it was defective.)
Cons: This beast is heavy!!!!!!!!!!! It also runs quite hot. (Not that hot) I purchased this laptop and the following week it went up about $70. Not a con for me because I got it at the lower price
Overall Review: Just pick up a cooling pad and you have no problems. The power supply is BIG! This still shouldn't be too much of a handicap. I just pack it all in a carry bag and do anything I want on it. It has no limitations. If you are a Pud, this machine is not for you. If you want quality at a good price and don't mind carrying about 15#'s, it's a steal.
Pros: It was only $7.99. It was by download so I got it fast. Two years and 3 computers! It went on simple, smooth and looked real pretty.
Cons: The fist time I put it on was with a clean install after formatting and installing Win7. After installation, all hell broke out. The computer basically froze and would not shut down normally. I reformatted, reinstalled Windows 7 and added the anti-virus! Every shortcut or Icon on the computer linked to Microsoft Word. I tried remaking shortcuts but no matter what, they turned into MS Word links. The only way to access any program on the computer was to go into file manager, open the program and click on the program exe. Could not restore or repair computer. Even safemode did the same thing. I then reformatted, reinstalled Win7 for the 3rd time and put Free Avast back on with my own Spyware program and Firewall. It's been a rough 24 hours but everything is now running Great. NO MORE BITDEFENDER FOR ME. Thankfully it only cost $7.99. Had to give it 1 EGG!!!
Overall Review: AVG and Avast have always worked for me. No more bargain AV's even if they are highly rated. I had previously used BitDefender some time in the past and it worked good then.
Great shredder.
Pros: Shreds very well.
Cons: Quite heavy and small catch basket.
Overall Review: I would like this for myself but I bought it for my wife who doesn't like how heavy it is. It is still a great product for the the price!
Great product and easy to setup
Pros: Easy setup, great price and easy to use.
Cons: No cons.
Overall Review: If I needed another monitor, I would buy it again.
So far, So good!
Pros: Great price, fast shipping and good product.
Overall Review: Work as well as most pen drives and seem to be faster. Haven't had them but a couple of weeks but seem to be top knotch.
So far, so good!
Pros: It works as intended. No problems.
Cons: No cons!
Overall Review: Good for saving memory and cheap to send to people by mail. Put it in an envelope, stamp it and mail it.
Nice, Good looking speaker
Sound is ok. The looks are nice and the price was right. Nice for sound enhancement.
Great (real little) Machine
This is a very functional and cost effective computer. I now own 2 of these, one for my wife and my own. I have not had any problems with either and they do everything that a full size computer does. They do not over heat and they are quite. I don't know about gaming but for everything else they are awesome.
Another USB3 Port
I would reccomend. Well built and fully functional!
