Outstanding

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Great layout. Gigabyte tools for easy overclocking of Black Edition CPUs. Lots of USB 3 and 2 ports. Two eSATA ports.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Replaced an ASRock motherboard with this. I am very pleased. Running this motherboard with an AMD Phenom II x6 1100T and a Thermaltake WATER2.0 liquid cooler. I didn't have any problems with the internal SATA ports that snap in from the side. Gigabyte really did a great job making a board for easily overclocking Black Edition CPUs.

Last about a Year

Pros: Good layout. Dr Debug. On board power, reset, and clear CMOS buttons.

Cons: Only lasted about a year.

Overall Review: The Dr Debug led shows the error code 62. Can't get it to post. Just stopped working one day. Replaced it with a Gigabyte board.

Been a Rock Solid Great Performing CPU

Cons: None so far and I've owned it since 2011.

Lightweight and runs Photoshop + Lightroom Perfect

SAMSUNG Series 9 NP900X4C-A03US 15" Ultrabook
SAMSUNG Series 9 NP900X4C-A03US 15" Ultrabook

Pros: Lightweight with a great screen, and good color representation. HDMI out is very nice for show casing photos on a HDTV or a large monitor for clients. Boots fast. Runs fast. Great keyboard layout. Feels sturdy for such a slim design. Runs cool and very quiet.

Cons: No Cons.

Overall Review: This is my mobile Lightroom + Photoshop computer. I teamed this ultrabook up with a 1TB Toshiba Canvio (USB 3.0 - fast & runs cool) external HD to store my Lightroom Catalog on. I can move my Lightroom catalog from this laptop to my tower quickly (the tower does all the backups). You will also need an external DVD drive if you are going to install software from a disc.
