Just got it in....

Pros: Large capacity obviously if you are looking at this drive that is the primary reason. Rugged case. Patriot brand name. If you don't know, Patriot is one of the best for flash drives (If not the best). You really can't go wrong with their products. I just haven't tried anyone else in a while because I have been so happy with Patriot, so I am biased.
Cons: Slower than my 4 Gb flash drive I have from Patriot. I knew that when I purchased it but I really was just wishing it would come in and be 200X. I would have been willing to pay more for a 200X flash drive of this size but could not find one. Why can't they make the larger drive 200X? Is it cost or power requirements?
Overall Review: I just transfered over all my files and I will likely use this as my personal drive now. I started with 1GB and moved up to 2GB then 4GB and just made the jump to this 32GB. (Unless the speed annoys me) I have a program I want to run off the 32GB drive that is actually about 10Gb so I can't run it off the 4 GB drive that I already have. I'll write another review later to update on the speed-- if it is fast enough or not-- but it is the fastest on the market anyway.
Worked out of the box but...

Pros: Multiple video threads. Supports up to 4 monitors.
Cons: 3 of the outputs are a style that I don't have cables for.
Overall Review: There is only 1 output of the style I need. (HDMI) That port recently stopped working.
Disapointed

Pros: Basic Specs are nice. i7 and the graphics are good. The price was right.
Cons: Others have talked about how fast the rubber bumpers fall off the bottom. They literally fell off as I took it out of the package. I checked and there was glue but it looked like it had already fallen off and had hair and stuff stuck to it and then was put back in so when I pulled it out it fell off. That is not new condition. The crazy thing is that there are not screws under them, so you would just expect a really good adhesive. Maybe Acer would like to send me replacements to customers with this issue or start including replacements with the laptop, the way Samsung includes new tips for the stylus with their Galaxy Note Phone series. Bloatware! Just soooo much bloatware. The hard drive is a platter. There is only space for one drive so, it makes sense to use a large drive but the slowness is unacceptable. As many others have, I am cloning to SSD. That isn't the largest issue and it seems that does keep the price down. That brings me to the next issue, you literally have to take every screw out of the bottom in order to open the case. The keyboard comes up and off instead of the bottom piece coming off, which is unusual. I have not found a video that actually looks like the model I got.
Overall Review: Acer should totally sell the base model of laptops and then provide accessories separately. I would but a back-lit keyboard at this point because it would be easy to put on. Maybe they do. I will check this before I assemble again because I know that the companies troll these reviews. (Like a fisherman, not a bridge troll)
Poor Resolution Pics

Pros: Apparently this is an item from a video game. Kind of cool.
Cons: The resolution on the pictures of this item are so poor I cannot tell what the quality of the product is. I still gave it 5 stars because it isn't the products fault, but the problem is that even in person the resolution is very poor. I'm not sure what is going on here but apparently, if you run into some poor resolution blocks you can smash them with this item. I have friends who have a whole lot of these and they offered to share so I decided not to buy this. I've heard that you need this item to ultimately train a horse. Can anyone verify that?
Overall Review: I hope that someone finds what I have said useful. Also, when I was a kid, I would not have been bothered by this low resolution.
Now what I expected.

Pros: Cheap... maybe too cheap.
Cons: Looks like more of a board than it is. When I was shopping for my next mother board I had a few things I was looking for. I wanted on-board video as well as the 9-series chip set. When I saw this board I thought I had found that. The fact that it says 960 in the name of the board. It was also the right price. I did look at what chips it could use and the FX series was there as well. After I got the board though I found out that it may not work with the new FX series chips because they actually require a 9 series chip set. The board worked with all the FX chips that existed when it came out but since then new FX chips have come out that it does not support. It is hard to say that it is the boards fault or Biostar's fault but I am writing this so that they can see why people hate this board. I would be I am not the only one who purchased to quickly thinking that it would work with all the FX chips.
Overall Review: When I was doing my searches this was one of only two boards that came up. There don't seem to be any 9series boards with on board video. I know that most gamers are the ones buying super fast chips and they like video cards but I want to put this in a small local server capacity and I just wanted a fast chip set and processor so that it doesn't get bogged down. Video quality is a secondary consideration and I wish there was something out there like what I am looking for.
Shell Shocked

Pros: Good little toy for a reasonable price.
Cons: Not much there. It is a very simple toy. I know that real remote control choppers cost a lot more than this but it is only fun for about a day... then you realize you can't really control it that well.
Overall Review: Not bad for the price. We had fun but only really played with it once. I got it as a shell shocker for my bro but I wish I could afford something much nicer.
