Most Favorable Review

Rock solid reliability

Kingston SSDNow mS100 64GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SMS100S2/64G
Kingston SSDNow mS100 64GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SMS100S2/64G

Pros: Incredibly fast Reliable

Cons: Price

Overall Review: Installed in my laptop along side the Hard Drive, Boot times from cold boot is around 17 seconds. wake time is near instant. The price is really the only issue, it is still pricey in comparison to its 2.5" drive cousins, but being able to use it alongside a standard HDD makes this device a no-brainer.

Most Critical Review

Decent sound, disgusting smell

Monster Black 129453 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Binaural Monster Lil Jamz Performance Headphones

Pros: The sound is decent from these headphones. Snug fit. They do look fairly good. They do not have the annoying control talk pod that makes a lot of noise. The 3.5mm plug is excellent, nice metal casing. It does come with earclips for a secure fit while exercising.

Cons: No 6.3mm adapter Smells terrible, packaging, case, wires and silicone tips. Could use the "pine tree" tips to seal off outside sound. Only comes with standard tips.

Overall Review: They do not stack up at the suggested retail price, good deal if its 75% off. and yes, they really do smell terrible. Has a plastic chemical smell that emanates and stains into clothing and your skin.

Lenovo T1655-WW Carrying Case for 15.6" Notebook
Lenovo T1655-WW Carrying Case for 15.6" Notebook

Pros: Looks good, seems are well kept with very little fraying. Zippers look reliable

Cons: Could use more dividing pockets The universal fit for this bag means you can't find a case that fits your laptop snugly, may be a negative for some.

Overall Review: This bag was free with my lenovo laptop, if I had the opportunity to buy it, I probably wouldn't at full price, but around $20 I wouldn't second guess myself.

Excellent laptop

Pros: Aluminium Chassis Slot load DVD No vents on the bottom Excellent keyboard

Cons: Noisy dvd drive Fit and Finish isnt precise slow boot times

Overall Review: The laptop so far is excellent, the only issue I have with the trackpad is how massive it is. (i switched from a 11") I was lucky and got the synaptics version. Speed is phenomenal, dual core i5 has plenty of gusto to get the job done. The dvd however is kind of noisy, specifically the loading mechanism. There are some issues with the fit and finish with the unit. Definitely need to improve the aluminum fittings by the screen. The boot times are slow, probably due to the slow 5400rpm hard drive. Could definitely use an SSD upgrade.
