Pros: Fast: Firewire 800 beats out USB 2 Solid construction: gel padding near screws, solid board, metal housing

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this to house my Macbook's internal drive after I swapped out for a 128 GB SSD. I get at least 60 MB/s copying over Firewire 800 to my SATA II 500 gb drive with this enclosure. I was using another enclosure, a cheap one, and didn't get this speed. Doesn't feel like the drive ever left my laptop. Didn't try the USB 3.0 connection as I don't have any of those ports. Included cables are about 2 ft.

Pros: It was a good price when I bought it Slim USB 3

Cons: Cheap construction USB plugin spot is warped Screw holes don't fit any known screw

Overall Review: Died after a few days of use. I use this for work since I put my data on an external drive after upgrading to an internal SSD. Unacceptable that this stopped working, it's my first purchase ever from Newegg to have a problem with it.

Overall Review: I used this to replace a dead 128 GB SSD in a Macbook Air 2011. It was manufactured to spec and I had no issues installing it. The laptop recognized the new drive, which was pre-formatted with an HFS partition, a welcome touch. I ended up installing Debian to the target drive, and it's performing very well. Overall, a very good deal.

Pros: I run Debian on this laptop, and runs all my games really well -- Deep Rock Galactic is as smooth as butter, Stellaris with all kinds of mods and high graphics settings is enjoyable. I dual-boot with Windows in order to play Final Fantasy XIV which looks (and runs) incredible on this laptop with all the settings maxed. It's a great daily driver with all its storage space. - 1 TB disk space is phenomenal for large game downloads and storing media/music - Function keys work out-of-the-box in Debian - Built-in 3ms screen is exceptional - 3 USB ports are just enough for keyboard/mouse combo and a storage device or hub - One USB-C slot can be used for a second monitor or a second device hub - This has an ethernet port in addition to wifi 6; a must-have for fast downloads direct from the router or networking to another laptop to stream games - RAM is upgradeable, I set mine up with 64 gigs

Cons: - If you are going to use an operating system other than Windows, stick with Debian or Ubuntu, for the best graphics support. - Make sure your system is set to "disable touchpad while typing" as it's easy to hit one's palm on the generously sized touchpad. - If you run with a Linux distribution, invest in a USB audio device, as the built-in speakers will sound bad unless Windows is installed and the proper drivers are installed (no issues with the headphone jack though, everything sounds great through that)

Overall Review: Three years later this laptop is still going strong and chewing through the latest games no problem. All monitor pixels are intact (no dead pixels) keys intact.. It is a highly reliable daily driver in addition to being great for gaming. (I don't play VR games or 4K/8K gaming so I can't comment on this laptop for that.)

Pros: I've always been a fan of this style of trackball mouse. I had my previous one from Logitech for about 8 years, different color; one of the buttons wore out. So far this has been treating me well for the past 2 years. It's easy to clean and I appreciate the lighter white-blue color combination which brightens up my desk. - I specifically use a trackball mouse to deal with wrist stress and whenever I go back to a "regular" mouse, my hand hurts, so this is pretty much the only mouse I can use for my daily work. - The battery lasts quite a long time. I use rechargeable AAs and rotate the batteries probably once every 3-4 months. It's hard to say as I don't keep track and this mouse does not have any battery issues. - Trackball mouse needs much less real estate on the desk because I don't have to move it around, it stays in one spot.

Cons: No cons

Overall Review: I definitely recommend this mouse for people looking to improve their ergonomics at their desks. If you haven't used a trackball before, it'll take a little getting used to, but completely worth it.
