Pros: Great value for the money. I tried to open the 4th core with my ASUS motherboard (it needed a rom update to allow for the opening of the 4th core) but it didnt work even after hours of screwing around with the setting of voltage, etc. I think the i7s are better but really how many of us actually need all that power? Even for the best games, this has enough CPU power, instead use the extra money to buy AMD/ATI 58xx to make a rig that'll last a few yrs.

Cons: OK, in benchmarks, not as fast as i7s, etc. But who cares, I would much rather buy a better value than power that I do not need. OC'ing ran into some heating issues with stock fan. But not too much of a problem.

Overall Review: This is just simply amazing. Forget the hype, get something worth the money!

Pros: looks pretty?

Cons: useless for me. latest driver didnt do anything. either it was DOA or an error with some hardware. could have spent probably a few hours to figure it out it but i dont have that time. so back it goes

Overall Review: first time returning something to newegg. they dont refund shipping for defective items, whats up with that? im going for another online retailer (take a wild guess who) in the future, i got prime and they refund returning shipping even for a defective item!

Pros: thin, light, pretty looking. most of the hardware seems good, price is reasonable. runs well too, having the separate ssd makes it for a fast start.

Cons: - absolutely terrible wireless (it keeps going in and out, connection doesnt dc but wireless stops working). its so bad that you cant even stream a youtube 1080 video seamlessly. i had to buy a wireless card because it was so annoying because sometimes it will stop working while loading a page. - the keyboard sucks. the space bar doesnt press when you hit is, you have to make an extra effort to do it. they should stick to what they can do well rather than imitating apple for the sake of making their products look like apple. - the mouse pad is bad too . honestly i think this is the new standard like those apple ones since it doesnt have a separate right click and left click. this might be a preference thing but i dont like it at all!

Overall Review: i have been an asus customer for a long time. i have bought a ton of stuff from them. i have always found their products to be lacking in some aspect or another. surprisingly it doesnt lack in terms of something expensive but just something that would be figured out if someone in the design team used some common sense. ultimately you cant beat their prices.

Pros: Very light, sleek looking, reasonably long cord, treble is good

Cons: the bass, as some have mentioned is just horrible. I would say its worse than the MX160s of Sennheiser than I own. They are much better at relaying the overall music, esp the bass.

Overall Review: Decided to return them, not worth it at all...

Pros: I liked the blue light :)

Cons: Wow, this drive is sooo slow. I mean it takes ages. I bought a drive 2.5 yrs ago and that was a midrange usb. So I thought that technology would at least be found in the cheap stuff. NOPE!!! So slow, even a 700mb file was taking ages to do anything. Not worth the cost...

Overall Review: JUST BECAUSE ITS CHEAP, DONT BUY IT. LOOK AT OTHER STUFF

Pros: Well done ASUS

Cons: NONE
