exactly what I thought it would be
Pros: great performance, plays all but the most highest resolution videos well. good battery performance and display is very clear.
Cons: default windows xp is cringingly unoptimized. Lots of services starting up at boot, etc. Takes some tinkering, but its possible to get that down to quite a nice boot up time and minimal memory footprint (for xp anyways)
Overall Review: had thought to preserve the internal SSD drive by disabling swap. XP was NOT h appy about that and would freeze. Put a small swap on the expansion SD card, and its much happier.
died witn 48 hours
Pros: it installed the os fine...
Cons: but then it died the next day. fails all writes. s.m.a.r.t says it has already reached the limit of reserved blocks, so its pretty much a doorstop at this point.
Overall Review: going to make sure I check s.m.a.r.t values from a flash stick before I bother installing on a refurb, thats for sure.
best monitor deal around
Pros: good image quality/contrast very powerful backlight. awesome deal.
Cons: Stand is not the sturdiest, but serves without issue. seriously, dont let that turn you off it, unless you move your monitor around constantly enough that its a matter of concern. Even then you might want to just get a replacement stand. it has standard vesa mountpoints.
Overall Review: have an older monitor thats going south on my, may replace with 2 of these :-D
awesome.
Pros: excellent picture, base is solid if limited in adjustment to tilt. dvi cable was included. 0 dead pixels, no problems with shipping.
Cons: did not like the old resolution, had to reboot once :-)
very quiet!
Pros: Just bought this locally retail, was on sale. Felt compelled to come here and right a review, I was so impressed. Incredibly quiet, very nicely wrapped and arrayed cables.
Cons: Different shape of unit made for some confusion as to which direction to install it.
