Pros: The ASUS VivoBook 15 M515 is a powerhouse of a laptop. I'm truly impressed with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U in it. This laptop is replacing my work computer, so it being truly thin and light is important. Battery life seems decent but I haven't used it too much to find out. Another bonus, looks like this laptop will support Windows 11.

Cons: Thin and light it is, but not as much as the laptop it is replacing (HP Spectre). Yes, this is an apples to orange comparison as I really should have a Zenbook 13 as a true comparison but they are more expensive. The only other complaint I have is with the web camera being of clearly lower quality to the above mentioned computer. Good thing I don't use this feature much, but if you do, you will be disappointed and will probably want to obtain a better quality external camera.

Overall Review: A recently purchased gaming laptop: ASUS TUF with a 3750U, and I wish it had THIS processor in it (and the one it does have is no slouch to begin with). This laptop is not meant for gaming but the built-in Radeon RX Vega graphics are way better and will support quite a few games (graphics dialed down of course). I recommended this laptop to a few, and after purchasing and using myself, I stand by that recommendation and am very pleased with my purchase... but I will keep an eye out for a ZenBook 13 sale. :)

Comments: This cooler never worked for me, I have some issues with the s775 mounting system, at least when used without a backing plate: insert plastic plugs into holes, turn screw to "lock" it in place... great, except everytime I picked up my pc one would pop out, reinsert, another would pop out. Not a good thing for a pc that is going to be moved a lot. This cooler is fairly top heavy (and it is actually one of the lighter ones available for s775), it should come with some sort of back plate mounting... I may have just gotten a bad one or something. Incidentally, I accidentally ordered a s754 one previously, guess what it comes with: a mounting plate and its virtually the same design from the same company. The fan is very quiet, if they could get a better mounting on it, I would imagine that it would work fairly well. I just don't like the idea of having to check my cpu hs&f everytime I move my pc, and since this is a lan pc, that was going to be quite frequently. Hopefully they fix the design.

Pros: This item is truly a looker (if you are into D3). Its textured cloth works very well with my mouse. I would actually say its large but not too large, striking the right balance between being useful and not getting in the way of my particular setup. ymmv.

Cons: Outside packing was a little beat up but the product inside was well protected and has no issues.

Overall Review: If you like D3, grab one (or two, I'm going to see if there are anymore).

Pros: Story: I purchased an external nvme ssd enclosure, and the cable it came with allowed 300+ MB/s transfer rates! I was astonished. Then... I lost that cable. Tried quite a few others (that I already had and some that I purchased), none would go above 35 MB/s. These cables finally were able to deliver the high transfer rates again (I got 250 MB/s so far on a win 11 computer), and I'm very pleased with the construction of them.

Cons: None that I was able to discern.

Overall Review: I haven't used them for power transfer, but for data transfer from usb-c to usb-c (nvme drives on both ends), these cables will support the high transfer rates.

Pros: Ordered to replace other failing units with DDR2 memory, this unit accepted all the other units parts without complaint. A little bigger than a previous Foxconn unit, but overall still very compact.

Cons: None yet, my previous Foxconn unit's power supply went out after 6 months and had to be replaced, hopefully they have addressed that issue and this one will last longer.

Overall Review: Overall, and after its said and done, I'm buying yet another one. They are the only units that accept older Core2 cpu's and DDR2 memory.

Pros: Works great, bought for use with blu-ray drive. Have had no problems or errors with any discs. There was an update upon first install.

Cons: None
