Most Favorable Review

Just ordered

CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9

Pros: Great value pick up for my year old laptop. I just bought 2 because I can have 8GB.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Why are 2 separate sticks of this $5 cheaper than the 8GB kit (2x4GB)? They're the same sticks, same model number and everything... Dumb.

Most Critical Review

Not bad, but could be better

NCAA Football 2012 Xbox 360 Game
NCAA Football 2012 Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Its college football instead of pro. Road to Glory mode. Playbook editor, although I still find it buggy.

Cons: I didn't think it was as graphically refined as Madden. Madden also does the line calls/audibles better in my opinion. Glitches are still present. The UI is HORRIBLE, very laggy and unresponsive (ANNOYING!!).

Overall Review: Its fun with friends, but if you play alone eventually the glitches and bugs along with the UI that takes a good 1-2 seconds to respond to whatever button you hit will make you put it down.

CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9

Pros: Cheap, runs faster underclocked to 1333mhz than regular 1333hmz clocked RAM

Cons: None

Overall Review: Updating my last post. RAM installed and works flawlessly. I have an Intel frist gen i7 cpu, so I'm limited to 1333mhz bus (yes, I knew this going in) and this memory is running at 7-7-7-21 timings for me compared to any native 1333 stick at 9-9-9-24. Its a minor upgrade, but every little bit helps in a laptop :). Rates 7.4 on WEI for me as well!

Wow....

Pros: Blazing fast...!! Win7 Pro cold boot in 15sec (pressing your power button to fully loaded ready to go desktop)! Windows Experience Index = 7.8 for this drive, up from 5.9 (replaced samsung 5400rpm hdd).

Cons: Price? Honestly though its worth the $170, even if that's at the high end of being "worth it."

Overall Review: You read about it and hear about it, but until you experience it you can't know how amazingly nice it is to have such fast boot times and program loads! Its mind blowing to go from 2min boots to 15 seconds....literally.... This drive(...any SSD really) is a MUST HAVE upgrade for your comp, especially laptop users.

Pros: Its an antivirus/firewall, didn't have to pay for it.

Cons: The price tag if you don't get it in a "free" gift bundle

Overall Review: Any hacker who cares enough will still bypass a firewall, so I wouldn't have gotten it if it hadn't of come free with my Win7 Pro purchase.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Pros: Its better than Home Premium and not part of the evil Apple integration empire.

Cons: Still pricey for an OEM disc. Oh well.

Overall Review: Had to buy a new copy of windows because I'm upgrading my laptop HDD and it didn't come with a copy.
