Pros: It is a new i7, has a good screen resolution (1920 x 1080), a good size hard drive (1 TB), and has dual band 802.11AC. The sound is also decent compared to other laptops I have used. I was able to install Arch Linux on it with no problem after I disabled UEFI. I was able to utilize the dual GPU (Intel and NVIDIA) even though it is tricky with Linux. It supports 6 Gbps SATA (revision 3) if you have plans to change the hard drive.

Cons: Minus one egg because of the difficulty in upgrading the memory. It took a lot of time. The memory slots and hard drive are not easy accessible through a simple removable panel. The touchpad does not have physically separate left and right buttons and is a bit large for me, but I know some people like both of those feature.

Overall Review: I installed Arch Linux and upgraded the memory immediately after it arrived. Until there is better support for UEFI I would switch to the legacy BIOS boot to save yourself trouble if installing Linux. I never booted into Windows with this laptop. I probably spent more time tweaking the Synaptics touchpad config after installing the OS than anything else. Be prepared to edit your X11 config file. To upgrade the memory I used 16 GB of G.SKILL F3-1866C10D-16GRSL. It was no problem once I actually removed all the screws and disconnected multiple ribbons and cables to get to the memory slots. Be very careful and I hope you are dexterous.

Pros: Inexpensive compared to other MICR toner options. It works well before running out.

Cons: We have gone through two of these at less than half the approximate page yield for both cartridges. I was hoping the first one was just defective.

Overall Review: LD Products was responsive to our support request and did send us a replacement cartridge quickly.

Pros: It is very fast over USB 3 and works as expected. The extra USB port can be helpful if have don't have very many free ports left on your computer.

Cons: None so far. It is slightly slower than a true 1Gb Ethernet card.

Overall Review: If you are using Linux or BSD, depending on your kernel version, you may have to take a few extra steps to make the adapter work. It comes up as ASIX Elec. AX88179 in Linux.

Pros: We ordered a couple of these and they have worked with no problems so far. They are very bright green laser pointers.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: They are very bright green laser pointers that we use for presentations in very large meeting rooms (hold ~3,000 people). Many people use these as a better alternative to the red laser pointers. Do not point these at or near anyone's eyes!

Pros: Came with Windows 7 Professional. The wireless card inside is dual band (a/b/g/n). The laptop did not have too much crapware installed on it. So far no problems.

Cons: We upgraded the memory as soon as we recieved the laptop. It was cheaper to buy extra RAM instead of trying to find a similar laptop with more memory already installed. The upgrade was very easy.

Overall Review: We will likely go with Lenovo ThinkPad T Series again.

Pros: Sturdy construction and works at 1Gb with our current equipment.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Works for our short patching needs. We have not been able to test this with 10Gb hardware yet.
