Pros: Absolutely nothing.

Cons: DEAD. Never even powered on arrival.

Overall Review: Don't buy this, unless you want to waste money on shipping it back.

MSI H61MA-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI H61MA-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Usb 3.0, sata 6.0, price

Cons: All usb 2.0 slots don't work (including USB1 and USB2 for the front), overclocking options are garbage (doesn't let you adjust fsb), is extremely picky with usb booting, only works about 1 / 10 times. I bought this for a client, they didn't want to waste the time / money to send the board back for an rma so their going to buy a usb hub for one of the 3.0 slots. I would not recommend this board, I have used lots of different kinds / sockets of computer motherboards, this is by far the worst experience i've had with one.

Overall Review: If your looking to overclock at all don't buy this board, as far as quality goes I guess it is a hit or miss, take your chance. IME asus and gigabyte are the best.

Pros: Can't get much better specs for the price, very fast laptop, hdmi out, i3, lots of ram and hdd space

Cons: Dvd drive pops out at random times, but I guess you risk these types of problems with refurbs. Isn't bothering me so I just keep it out.

Pros: Bought for a client of mine, tested before installed windows and everything passed. Quiet, fast little drive. Perfect for a laptop replacement.

Cons: 5400 rpm, but thats still not bad.
