6/5
Pros: Giant! You could set your sensitivity at it's lowest settings and still never reach an edge. This thing is probably bigger than your monitor. You could use it as a mat to set your original Xbox on. On top of that, it stays put. You'd have a better chance moving one of Alienware's 100 lb 17" laptops than this baby.
Cons: You might have to buy a bigger desk. It will make you feel insufficient as a man. Other mousepads will wet themselves in fear of this monster.
Completely Unnecessary
Pros: It does what it says.
Cons: Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) does the same job for a fraction of the price.
Overall Review: The instructions for AS 5 even say using rubbing alcohol is fine.
Good Fan, Needed Oil
Pros: Moves a lot of air. This thing is like having a room fan in your computer.
Cons: Kind of noisy, but you're not going to get high flow and be silent at the same time.
Overall Review: About a week after I bought it the fan started making this high frequency whirring/grinding/clicking noise. I went to my local superstore and bought some 3 in 1 oil. I peeled the sticker off the fan and removed the little rubber plug, after a few drops of the 3 in 1 oil it stopped making any noise
So Far Perfect
Pros: Fast, quiet, shock resistant, completely compatible with my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. I noticed significantly improved boot times, down to less than 10 seconds. Applications seem to open instantly as well.
Cons: Haven't noticed a battery life improvement. Could just be because I haven't recalibrated. Not exactly the most scientific measure, just my perception.
Overall Review: If you're installing in a macbook pro make sure you have a torx t6 screwdriver to remove the mounting bracket from the original drive.
