Great Drive

WD WD Green WDBAAY0020HNC-NRSN 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail kit

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.

Absolutely Terrible

Lenovo IdeaPad - 15.6" Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M SLI - Intel Core i7-3630QM  - 8GB Memory - - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop - (Y500 (59359557) )

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
