Great looking laptop

TOSHIBA Satellite 17.3" AMD Turion II M520 4GB Memory DDR2 800 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit L555D-S7005
TOSHIBA Satellite 17.3" AMD Turion II M520 4GB Memory DDR2 800 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit L555D-S7005

Pros: Very nice design, touchpad works great, keyboard feels good, webcam works well also.

Cons: Weak speakers

Overall Review: This is a great laptop for the price. The keyboard has a great feel to it and the touchpad moves nicely without any jumping. The mouse buttons are large and aren't too hard to press. The webcam and DVD burner work perfectly. The screen is bright and crisp. It doesn't get too hot underneath so you won't need one of those cool pads. The fan is very quiet and you won't even hear it turn on. The one negative is the speakers. It's not that they aren't loud, but the sound quality coming out of them is terrible. I don't use laptops for their sound quality so this really doesn't matter to me, but it could use better speakers. Other than that, it's a nice laptop and it's very quick for almost anything I run. It's also feels very light for a 17.3" laptop. It will take an extended battery as well and up to 8GB ram is a plus. This is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, sexy laptop that won't break the bank.

Most Critical Review
PNY 128GB Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD128TBOP-GE)
PNY 128GB Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD128TBOP-GE)

Pros: Fast and cheap

Cons: Cheap, literally. If ended up separating and fell off my key ring and got lost. The way it opens is nice to not have an actual cap but it closes when you plug it into a USB port which is annoying. I bought pny's other model which has a more solid build.

Great case for the price

DIYPC Vanguard-RGB Black Dual USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panels (Front and Both Sides) and Pre-Installed 4 x RGB LED Fans (7 Different Color in 3 Mode Control)
DIYPC Vanguard-RGB Black Dual USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panels (Front and Both Sides) and Pre-Installed 4 x RGB LED Fans (7 Different Color in 3 Mode Control)

Pros: Customizable LED Fans The fans are super quiet, almost inaudible Plenty of room Power supply cover is nice You can turn off the LED's by holding in the button on the top of the case for a fee seconds

Cons: None

Overall Review: I did a build for myself in this case and for the price it's awesome. If you are looking for a case with customizable LED fans that you can't even hear then this is the case you want. I was used to spending around $160 for Corsair's Crystal cases but after using this case I'd use it every time because of the huge price difference. I don't know what all the negative reviews are about, this case is almost perfect.

Lasts forever

Western Digital Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Reliability

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've had quite a few of these in clients machines and they have been rock solid. I have one that has been in use for a total of 3248 days (8.89 years of continuous use) and it is still 100% healthy.

For the price these are good

Acer K2 Series K242HQL cbid 23.6" TN 1ms (GTG) Black Widescreen LED/LCD Monitor 1920 x 1080 FHD at 60 Hz Refresh Rate, Eco Friendly Design, Visual Comfortable W/D-sub HDMI, and DVI Connectivity

Pros: Bright Good Contrast Saturation settings built into the lcd menus Lots of settings

Cons: The stand wobbles when you lean on the desk or brush up against the desk Bezels are a tad thick

Overall Review: I ordered two of these and they work well and look good. I'll order more in the future because of the price.

The perfect balance of speed and durability

Samsung 128GB BAR (Metal) USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 150MB/s (MUF-128BA/AM)
Samsung 128GB BAR (Metal) USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 150MB/s (MUF-128BA/AM)

Pros: It's very compact, it's smaller than in the pictures The drive plugs right on, there is no USB port that sticks out so it should be extremely durable The speeds seem to be pretty good

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is probably one of the best flash drives you can buy. The design is second to none. It fits on my key chain, it's very small and I don't have to worry about losing it or the end breaking off since there is no end.
