Most Favorable Review

Works aspromised but not flush to computer

Team 32GB C162 USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drive, Up to 100MB/s (TC162332GB01)
Team 32GB C162 USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drive, Up to 100MB/s (TC162332GB01)

Pros: Can leave in computer works

Cons: Sticks out a full 1/2 inch from computer. Not the 1/4 inch of compettors.

Overall Review: Ok if your case has enough room to include the extra width. Functions fine. Could use in car

Fast boot light laptop

Pros: Light weight and thin Fast boot USB 3 port Much better speed than celeron version

Cons: No optical drive (but USB drive works with data cable) Only two USB connectors (bring a hub if you need more) Software update slow (seems to shut off fast boot)

Overall Review: Note the Windows 7 version costs more, If you can live with Windows 8, save money.

Weird but wonderful

SONY Laptop VAIO FW Series Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 16.4" Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit VGN-FW463J/H

Pros: Very fast downloads on WiFi (1.5 MB/s) spacious keyboard, and good touchpad. Good screen resolution.

Cons: Those USB ports as well as being too close together, they are weak. The computer would not reboot with 3G modem plugged in. Unplug it and the machine reboots!

Overall Review: The surface of the flat panel is wavy, I don't know if it's intentional or a flaw.

Got better processor

COMPAQ Desktop PC Presario SR5350F(GX618AAR) Intel Pentium E2160 2GB DDR2 360GB HDD Intel GMA 950 Windows Vista Home Premium
COMPAQ Desktop PC Presario SR5350F(GX618AAR) Intel Pentium E2160 2GB DDR2 360GB HDD Intel GMA 950 Windows Vista Home Premium

Pros: Compact, Quiet, Fast. Right now I'm hooked up to my old 17" CRT Monitor, speakers and Gateway media keyboard. Works fine but the old monitor is limited to 60 Hz refresh. Got a 2 GHz instead of 1.8 GHz (they must have run out.) Great buy despite cons below.

Cons: No speakers, ***** ball mouse, cheap keyboard

Overall Review: My old 1 GHz Celeron Gateway with 128 MB RAM and 30 GB HD was to old to update.
