UPDATE: Almost Satisfied Customer

Pros: Good looking case. Arrived in good condition. Nice fit and finish.
Cons: Note: updating this post as a re-evaluation. See "Other Thoughts".
Overall Review: After submitting my previous review below, I was contacted by Newegg via email and advised to contact Rosewill customer support. What a pleasant surprise! Rosewill immediately set in motion to send me a replacement front panel input array, and Newegg sent me the notification of shipment within an hour. Now, THAT IS the kind of Customer Support every company should provide... but is rare in this world today. My most sincere appreciation go out to Rosewill and Newegg and leave me convinced that BOTH entities deserve your consideration before any others. They are fabulous.
Fail Less Than 2 Months

Pros: Worked ok for a short while. Fair price for two TB.
Cons: Less than two months of use as media storage only. Makes grinding sound at startup.... sometimes continually, sometimes for a few moments. Very light usage and it is failing already??? power-ons 40, hours-spinning 265. Unbelievable.
Overall Review: I read the reviews before purchase, so I knew it was a gamble. I lost.
Excellent Laptop for Linux Users

Pros: Machine came quickly and included a few pleasant surprises. -It was in new condition, almost perfect. No signs of any previous usage. The power brick did look slightly used, however. - Came with a 180 gb Intel SSD. I was expecting a 128 gb SSD. Big smile on my face. - Came with a 1600 x 900 display. I was expecting 1366 X 768. Another big smile on my face. - Came with NVIDIA graphics. I was expecting only Intel integrated. Big grin on my ugly mug. - Came with a DVD RW drive. I was expecting only DVD playback. Big *eatin' grin on my ugly mug. - Came with the oversize 9-cell battery. I was expecting the standard size. I'm totally blown away. - 8 gb of ram running in dual channel mode. -As I said, new condition. Not a smudge or scratch. Keyboard in perfect condition. The USB ports had never had anything inserted in them. Tight and new. Hinges tight and new. DVD tray tight and new. Battery appears to be new. SSD has very little usage, just enough for OS installation.
Cons: Windows 10 pro was installed, but couldn't be activated. Not an issue for me because I bought this laptop for running Linux operating systems. Had no intention of using Windows even if it had been successfully activated. My only real con is that the speakers could be louder and of higher quality. Also, it didn't have the optional backlit keyboard but it does have the little Thinlight shining down from above... can be toggled on and off. It's almost as good as a lighted keyboard.
Overall Review: I'm expecting delivery of a new 120 gb mSATA SSD in a few days for extra storage capacity and distro hopping different Linux OS's while keeping the primary OS on the 2.5" Intel main drive (dual booting). Initially, I installed Linux Mint 19 but soon discovered that sleep/suspend would fail if the NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver was installed. There is no problem if the open source driver is used. Rather than use the open source driver, I opted to install the previous version of Mint 18.3 which works flawlessly with sleep/suspend and makes it easy to switch back and forth between the Intel graphics (power saving mode) and NVIDIA proprietary graphics (hi-performance for games and such). To conclude, I am absolutely delighted with this laptop. Even though it was built five years ago (BIOS from 2013), it is still a fabulous and durable machine with excellent performance. Maybe a little heavier than the new generation of laptops, but for this price it is a total winner. My thanks to Newegg for fast shipping and providing a very pleasant buying experience.
Works with ASUS Router

Pros: Works as expected.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Got this to replace the dead power adapter for an ASUS N65U router. Higher amps available than the original adapter, stays cool... should last forever.
Pleasant Surprise

Pros: Very attractive design w/glass front. Best screen setup interface of any I have used. Tiny and unobtrusive LED on/off light. Beautiful colors, movies never looked so good. VESA mounting option. Solid feeling stand, no wobble. Good input options. Great bang for the buck.
Cons: No height adjustment. Inputs, outputs, USB ports in the back are facing down and hidden by the stand; very awkward. Glare from the glass front when the room gets bright. Great for casual gaming but too much ghosting for hard-core gamers (distracting but not awful).
Overall Review: Although the resolution is 1080, this monitor is a fabulous upgrade from the ASUS 24 inch monitor that I have been using (and loved). For me the optimal viewing distance is 3 to 4 feet away. At that distance the individual pixels disappear and the picture becomes sharp and beautiful. If it still works this nicely after two years, I'll jive with joy.
Perfect for smaller desk

Pros: Great colors, contrast and brightness. Thin and lightweight. Wife loves it. Full HD resolution in a smaller screen makes for high quality image at typical office viewing distance (less than 3 foot from screen to eye).
Cons: The blue power light is too bright and blinks forever when the monitor is asleep.
Overall Review: Maybe will get another for dual monitor setup. Two will still fit on a small desk. Very happy with this monitor.
