Pros: Compact for travel use. Appears good quality construction. Extremely affordable.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This item works well on the test I've given it thus far. I have had it read an assortment of laptop drives and it has done well. I've seen no issue. Also, Kudos to Newegg as always. Item arrived in shipment the very next day and it was only standard shipping. Hats off to you guys! Your efforts do not go unappreciated.

Pros: Great construction. Solid machine.

Cons: I bought this for my daughter a few years ago. It seemed fine when it arrived, but I quickly learned it was not fine at all. It had a very serious overheating issue once put under a load. Fortunately I am an IT guy and realized what was going on....found a new heatsink assembly and swapped it out. Problem completely solved. The original had gone bad. It just leaves me to really question the reliability of the people who supposedly performed the refurbish. Obviously they didn't test it properly at all.

Overall Review: All said and done, it is a great older laptop that serves first time users very well.

Still truckin along!

Pros: Lights....Still Works

Cons: Don't see any.

Overall Review: Believe it or not. I bought this thing over 10 years ago now. (Purchase date 11/23/07) I still use the system I bought it for, daily...(Though as a media streaming machine and not my gamer machine)....and this PSU STILL WORKS! It is on 24/7. Can't complain! Just clean it out once in awhile and it'll do well.

Another amazing Laptop

Lenovo - 15.6" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M - Intel Core i7-4700HQ  - 8GB Memory - 8 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (Y50 (59425944) )
Lenovo - 15.6" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M - Intel Core i7-4700HQ - 8GB Memory - 8 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop - (Y50 (59425944) )

Pros: Excellent build quality. Nice stylish design. Illuminated keyboard. Windows 8.1. Very well ventilated. dedicated Nvidia GPU. On sale sub $1000. Full Keyboard. Really, this is more a desktop replacement than laptop.

Cons: It is true the screen's viewing angles are a bit restricted, but if you're watching video or gaming from any angle than actually in front of it, that I ask...."What is wrong with you?" Not difficult to turn a laptop to have it's screen face you.

Overall Review: This was purchased for my son. I already own the 16 GB RAM model and he wanted one as well but opted for the 8 GB RAM model. He is as pleased with his as I am with mine. Both are used for heavy gaming and although they are not the top of the line, they are VERY respectable machines! Also, it's Lenovo (IBM). That in itself says quality.

Amazing and spacious for the price!

Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - STDT4000100 (Black)
Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - STDT4000100 (Black)

Pros: Nice modern design. Well ventilated. 4TB and under $150 when I bought it. Read immediately and flawlessly on initial connect. (Running Windows 8.1) I am currently moving nearly a full TB of information in one shot as we speak and it has been taking it well. Grant it, time will tell on durability, but first impression is quite good indeed!

Cons: Unknown at this time.

Overall Review: The software included with this drive allows for cloud as well as pc back up and even android back up as well.

Nice Mouse

E-Blue Cobra 1600 Adjustable DPI Wired USB Optical Gaming Mouse (White)
E-Blue Cobra 1600 Adjustable DPI Wired USB Optical Gaming Mouse (White)

Pros: It's cheap. It's kinda cool. It works rather well. Its cheap. It has scalable DPI. It came in cool all Chinese packaging. It's cheap. The mouse feels good to scroll...the l and r click is very sensitive but thats not really a bad thing.

Cons: None yet really side from wishing it had a scroll up and down button set up vs one button to cycle through but thats NOT a big issue...

Overall Review: It's worth the money and the shipping came through at a very respectable time!
