Intel Expensive but Better

Pros: Intel WILL replace your SSD when it crashes and burns. They are designed for reliability, which is slightly better than drives designed for outright performance.
Cons: All solid state drives fail I have had one of two fail in under 3 months with almost no abuse at the time and I have another that I use for Premier Pro Editing and I bet I have written the entire drive over 15 times now with no failure. Just assume it will die We aren't talking about any 1-day air treatment, it takes time, expect 1 - 3 weeks depending on. These drives are expensive and they are thorough, don't expect to do any switharoos.

Dead After 90 days

Pros: Its only defense is that windows update is likely what killed it, from getting hung up on an install. Still Poor Quality to last such a short time.
Cons: Quality
Good Buy

Pros: Perfect Entry TV, I picked it up (from the Egg, Great Service) for a outrageously low six hundred seventy nine (US) dollars. WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT. It runs nearly 24 hours a day (I have 9 roommates), it plays amazing films, works great as a gaming television (split screen anyone?) and most importantly to me it works as a fantastic (second) computer monitor. Gorgeous Color, Amazing Picture Options, Solid functional Design, amazingly well priced.
Cons: 47" tvs are huge, seriously and properly large, don't be fooled, if you had a 42" make sure this thing fits in the room. It really does make a 42 seem small, it will completely suck the fun out of your other tvs... Everyone will hang out in front of your tv prepare to buy lots of snacks and soda....
Overall Review: Really and truly a solid purchase, you won't be let down. BUT BUT BUT look around, while searching on the net I found a code for an extra 100 off (From Newegg!) this set. This tv is well work 800 bucks but if you wait and shop smart you will get this set for less than the list (1200).
