Works with Linux

Pros: I've used the same physical card in both a Windows 7, Windows 8, Linux Mint and CentOS systems. The card works in all of them. Under Linux, however, it is not out-of-the-box configured. Under CentOS 6.3 for example, I had to download the kernel module driver for the rtl8192ce chipset and rebuild. This is easy enough, but a bit frustrating. Other than that, throughput is excellent. It easily outperformed the previous single-antenna card and I'm able to transfer 2G files in just few minutes.
Cons: There is one glitch I noticed. Every few days it will lose connectivity to the WAP. Even re-loading the modules didn't fix. I had to reboot to get it to reconnect. The card itself is detected but goes into a sleep mode every so often and refuses to re-connect. Hopefully an updated driver will resolve this problem.
Overall Review: Better Linux support would be nice. I would buy a dozen of these if driver support was easier.
Non-Standard

Pros: Small and unobtrusive. This keyboard is more of a "show" keyboard and looks stylish. It's Mac compatible. Has volume controls which is convenient.
Cons: Where to begin? The keyboard looks good, but the keys themselves are in a non-standard layout to accomodate the size. The keys also feel like a cheap laptop keyboard. There's not a lot of travel (though admittedly some people like this) so don't expect to use this if your livelihood depends on lots of typing. There's no place to rest a pen, either. It also feels flimsy.
Junk

Pros: Cheap. Bright.
Cons: Worked for just about five clicks on the switch before breaking. Brand new batteries but either the switch or the electronics broke.
Quiet, quick

Pros: This card packs a lot of bang for the power draw and cost. On a 3840x2160 screen, video plays back without visual tearing, full screen games play at decent frame rate and there were no visual glitches.
Cons: Not many cons to speak of. I needed to update the drivers to a later version but that's to be expected.
Overall Review: I bought this card to replace a Geforce 650Ti that was struggling with video at 3840x2160 resolutions. Host OS is Linux Mint 17.1. The main glitch I experienced was that the repository drivers (nvidia-331) did not work with this card. This was fixed by grabbing the Nvidia provided drivers then installing them (download drivers, then 'sudo service mdm stop', login as root, then run the Nvidia installer script). Once loaded, everything worked great. In particular, I could now play the 4K videos from YouTube and in VLC without any tearing in the output. The few games I played also worked much better (Left4Dead2 and Wasteland2 were all I tried but they were significantly faster than the 650ti it replaces).
Works, bit of a pain to install

Pros: Keeps CPU cool and is relatively quiet.
Cons: The manual is close to useless. DO yourself a favor and download the PDF version and zoom in on the tiny little images to make it more obvious how the PlateX connector is oriented. Pay special attention to which way the X is opened as it may seem to line up correctly but will not. Short version: You insert the PlateX in the "wrong" way then open it up to the "right" way. Note also that you'll need access to the back of your motherboard to replace the retainer plate. Also pay close attention to the three position screw holes. Depending on your socket type these will be different. Sure, the docs illustrate this with an arrow pointing to the position, but on installation it can easily move around as you're adjusting the heat sink.
Junk, not close to OEM specs

Pros: Cheap. Fits.
Cons: This battery was purchased to replace the OEM unit on a T400. It fits but that's where the similarity ends. After the original battery had degraded to the point that it was only holding about 30 minutes of charge I replaced it with this unit (it is an old laptop and could not justify spending $90 for an OEM replacement). The battery does not charge to 100%. It gets to 98% then stops. Battery life on an otherwise unloaded system is about 25 minutes. In other words, worse than the old battery that it is replacing. In the 5 minutes it took to write this review it has gone from 90% to 84%.
