Great Drive
Pros: This drive is cost effective, with a sizable amount of storage, so far I have had no problems with the drive and have put around 300gb onto it. When I first installed the drive, I ran HDtune and the transfer rate was around 64mb/s average, respectable for the price point.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Well packaged as should be expected and works great out of the box with no issues.
Great while it lasted
Pros: Worked great for a period of time.
Cons: Died after three days.
Overall Review: Powered my system 6970 OC 4.5 HiS Ice Q 6970 7 case fans 4 hard drives Optical drive
Great Processor Overclocks Well
Pros: 40 lane support overclocks like a champ
Cons: a bit expensive does not support ecc ram, would be nice to see for the price
Overall Review: Overclocked to 4.5 Ghz easily, I have it in an EVGA x99 classified board with an all in one water cooler (Corsair H115i) 75C max temp.
Absolutely Terrible
Pros: Great laptop if you get one that works.
Cons: I purchased this laptop directly from Lenovo and, for starters, the packaging was terrible, it was literally the black box that the laptop comes in, with a shipping sticker slapped on it. Next we move onto the fact that the first one that I received had keys that were broken. I called customer service and it too 2 WEEKS to get a new one out to me, and here is the topper, the new laptop came with a broken power button, it would not turn on, plugged in or on battery! Now I have to wait another 2 WEEKS minimum to get another replacement. Normally this would not bother me, but I need this laptop for school, I am using it as a programming testbed. It literally took me 2 hours on the phone just to get the replacement order placed, AND I was misdirected by their technical support team multiple times! Never buying another Lenovo.
Great Driver
Pros: Great drill, easy to use, we have several of the previous generation of these in tech crew, they work great and the batteries last a long time.
Cons: none
Overall Review: If you are trying to join two pieces of lumber tightly, a non impact driver will be better for the first several screws, the percussive action of the driver can create a gap in between pieces of lumber.
Works Great
Pros: Works great, starts a working PSU right up and gives voltages
Cons: none
Overall Review: great if you do a lot of work with PSUs, if you are just getting one for a single build it is not entirely necessary
