Pros: -Attractive -Solid with minimal flex, although it's not a ThinkPad, it's solid. -Nice, tactile keyboard -Powerful i5 3230m -Stays fairly cool for a laptop -Nice 720p webcam -Lenovo quality

Cons: -Windows 8 is odd. It takes getting used to. I ended up buying a start menu program to get the start menu back. It's not too bad once you get the start menu program installed. -Not sure why Lenovo installed an SATA II drive in a computer with SATA III capability. I assume it's based on keeping the cost of assembly low. -WAY too many gestures setup on the trackpad from the factory. I disabled all of them to use the simple point and click methods. Not a big fan of all the gestures.

Pros: Tegra 4... the performance is amazing! Very fluid with zero lag. Battery lasts a long, LONG time! Sound quality from the speakers is borderline unbelievable.. they sound like big speakers but they aren't! The controller feels a LOT like an XBox controller. Very tactile. It doesn't feel cheap. It feels like it would last even under abusive conditions. SD card slot (YAY!) Very glad to see it has the Play Store. So tired of Android devices with generic app stores!

Cons: It's a TINY bit on the heavy side, but the battery life is worth the extra weight. No other cons.

Overall Review: If you want it and have the money, get it! You won't be unhappy. Many people like to complain about the price, but in theory, it's worth it. People don't seem to complain about paying over $500 for certain "i" tablet devices, and they don't have a built in controller or the Tegra 4!

Pros: Easy to setup Samsung Quality & Reliability VERY fast, boots Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in under 10 seconds! 5 year Warranty!

Cons: None whatsoever.

Overall Review: Very fast drive. I can't believe how fluid Windows 7 runs with it. The boot times are crazy fast, and of course.... it's a Samsung! This SSD replaced a 500GB 5400rpm SATA II drive that was an OEM drive in an SATA III laptop (really?). The 500GB drive is now in an external enclosure as a storage drive.

Pros: -Spreads nicely -In MY testing, it runs 1-2 degrees cooler than "Conductive paste". (Tested on a Dell Latitude D630 with a 2.4GHz C2D and a Late 2012 i5 Mac Mini) -Not conductive! -Good price! -Enough to last me probably 5 years.

Cons: It's made in China... the leading "conductive paste" is made in the USA. That's the only thing I can think of.

Overall Review: Consider this over other options, especially if you are worried about conductive paste shorting something out (I've had it happen). It works slightly better than one of its' biggest competitors.

Pros: Love it! If you are looking for a great Mac at a decent price, this is it. The dual core Ivy Bridge i5 is more than sufficient for everyday use. Sure it's not the most powerful CPU, but it still outperforms nearly every AMD CPU on the market. What I like is that the memory is easily upgradeable, and the CPU heatsink looks easy to clean. This is actually my first Intel Mac, and I must say that the difference in performance is astonishing when comparing it to a G4. Not only that, but now I can dual boot into Windows. (if I ever need it!)

Cons: Apple needs the lower the price. Although it's a nice machine, $600 does scare away a lot of people. I think $549 would be much more tempting to people. Oh, and Apple's external optical drive is too expensive. I bought an external enclosure and used a CD/DVD burner out of a PC I had. Cost me under $25. At $600, Apple should throw in an external Optical drive for free.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a Mac, and don't want to spend $1000, this is the one. If anything, it should last you for 5 years or more... my G4 MDD tower lasted me for 9 years! The main reason I switched is because applications were no longer being supported, and videos were becoming impossible to watch.

Pros: Great stuff! I bought it mainly because I had to replace my fan/heatsink in my Presario CQ60, however after seeing the huge drop in CPU temps from using it, I put it on my tower's CPU, as well as my Dad's Inspiron 1100! All 3 had a very nice temperature drop! Couldn't be more impressed. The biggest was the Inspiron though... went from a average of 140-155*F to 95-110*F.

Cons: I ordered 3 day UPS service... however it took 5 days to get here.... not a big deal though... the weather was bad so I understand.
