Pros: No installation issues. Works great with Windows 7 and 8. Video processing is amazingly fast. Plays 1080p video well and the previous generation chipset did not.

Cons: 2 dimms. Not 4pin processor power. 1 chassis fan. Not sure if windows 8.1 problem or motherboard USB driver problem. USB wifi will eventually idle to sleep when it feels like it. Set the timer to 2 minute it might sleep on its own if it decides to time out after 15-20. Problem occurs with multiple wifi cards and only after upgrading to 8.1 so I am sticking with 8 and it works flawlessly.

Pros: It works and does what is advertised. The mouse function works similar to an old ATI remote I had and is familiar in the hand to other MCE remotes.

Cons: Not backlit and fairly simple.. For being a generic MCE remote the receiver has native windows drivers and auto installs, but DOES NOT work with other generic MCE remotes. That rubs me the wrong way and was the only reason for not getting 5 eggs.
