Pros: 5-6 hours battery life (real-world use, not an endurance test) Solidly built Great keyboard (except for the backlight bleeding around the edges)

Cons: Trackpad is a little touchy (doesn't ignore palms/thumbs well while typing) Performance is OK, hopefully will improve with more RAM (4 GB is barely adequate for Win10) Fingerprint magnet! A bit heavier than I'd like Stylus is a little thin.

Overall Review: Overall, I'm happy with this and hope that upping the memory to 16 GB will improve the multitasking capabilities. The pen/stylus works well, but is a bit thin for me. Would be better for someone with smaller hands, I bet. This definitely lives up to the build quality expected of the Thinkpad line. It's definitely heavier than advertised, but it doesn't feel as fragile as many laptops/notebooks (particularly 2-in-1s) do these days.

Pros: Sounds like a really cool idea for someone who's got two computers with two separate monitors.

Cons: Not quite "plug & play". Using between a Windows 7 Enterprise box and a Windows 8 Pro machine, it didn't seem to stay consistently connected. It's also kind of a bummer that it's Windows-only, but that's in the description, so caveat emptor.

Overall Review: I'll have to do some more testing with this on some other machines. Maybe the two in my office are just finicky. I'd really like to find a way to make this thing work as I think it's supposed to because it would save me a lot of desk space.

Pros: Low power consumption Runs cool Plenty of SATA ports for a small system

Cons: BIOS lacks a few basic features (e.g.: can't disable SATA ports)

Overall Review: I paired this with an Athlon 5370 and 8 GB of DDR3 for a Plex/file server. 120 GB SSD for the OS (Ubuntu 16.04) and 3x 2 TB Seagate NAS HDDs in a RAID5 setup for media storage. Transcoding two streams simultaneously pegs all 4 cores for a few minutes, but the CPU temp never exceeded 30 degrees C. Considering the mobo, CPU and RAM were (combined) just under $100 (after rebate*), I can't complain. *I have not yet received the rebate, but it hasn't even been three weeks, so I'm cautiously hopeful.

Pros: Ideal size for a mATX or smaller board. Nice layout and pretty solidly built (esp. for the cost).

Cons: Only two things I'm not thrilled with: 1) The headphone jack on the front is a little weird. When plugging in a cord, there was a lot of resistance, to the point I was afraid I'd break the plastic around it. Hopefully it'll loosen up a bit or I'll just plug into the jack on the back of the box. 2) One of the fans has a standard 3-pin connector so the mobo/bios can control the speed, but the other just connects to MOLEX, so it's running full-speed all the time. It's not really that loud, but it does limit this case's usefulness for an HTPC.

Overall Review: An old ECS Atom330 mATX board slid right into place, along with a DVD-RW drive a a 3.5" HDD. Other reviews mention clearance issues between the back of the optical drive a CPU heatsink/fan, but that's going to vary from one mobo to the next (they don't all put the CPU in the exact same spot). Plus, optical drives these days are pretty compact, so it probably won't be an issue for you.

Pros: Good capacity for the cost, reasonably good read/write performance. Works perfectly for the intended purpose (playing music and podcasts through my car stereo).

Cons: Casing is very thin metal. For the cost, I wasn't expecting crush-proof adamantium, but this drive's outer skin is about as rigid as a few layers of heavy aluminum foil. For this reason, I wouldn't use one as a carry-around drive that might bump up against keys or other stuff in your pocket. The provided ball-chain is even less sturdy than the drive casing. If you're looking for a super-durable keychain drive, I'd strongly suggest the Kingston SE9.

Pros: Big enough to fit a standard ATX PSU and a decent CPU cooler on a Zotac 880 AM3 board. Nice layout for hard drives and included mounts for 2.5" disks. Not too big, not too small; juuust right (hence the "Goldilocks" reference).

Cons: The main cover is a little tight to take off and get back on properly. Material is a little thin, but not unusually so for a sub-$100 case (they just don't build cases like they used to). Also, no external 3.5" opening (it'd be nice to have the option of adding an internal card reader).

Overall Review: A little bummed that I can't use the front USB3 port, but that's because my board doesn't have the necessary header (no fault of the case). Overall, a good-sized, reasonably-priced case for a compact desktop system.
