Dyson like Tyson - a knockout!

Dyson V7 Animal + Cordless HEPA Vacuum
Dyson V7 Animal + Cordless HEPA Vacuum

Pros: Charges quickly (about 3 hrs from dead-to-full). In regular mode battery lasts about 30min, Turbo, about 15-20. That's total run-time with trigger on constantly. If you use as intended, trigger on only when cleaning, the battery will last twice that long. Suction on normal is good for most general cleaning, picking up lots of dog/cat hair, and dirt from bare and carpeted floors. But for serious cleaning, like corners and baseboards, use the Turbo mode -as it has about twice the suction power. Attachments are easy to snap into place, and comes with a wide-variety of assorted brushes, 2 power-brushes, assorted tubes, etc. Bonus!!!... great for cleaning car interior and trunk - does a great job there. Easy to clean, empty, and maintain. Wall charger is awesome, making it super easy to store and charge!

Cons: None.

Great Value

Pros: 5 STARS for overall Value!! There are a lots of reasons to buy this laptop, starting with it's high value-per-price. This laptop have great specs and is easily upgradeable -with one free RAM slot, and an open drive bay (empty DVD bay) to add another hard drive or DVD player. The screen is bit washed out compared to more expensive laptops, but overall the colors are pretty accurate, and the contrast is good. The i5 processor is fast, and with my upgrade to an SSD drive, the whole computer feels zippy and quite responsive. The best part, however, and the reason I bought it, is how well the GT940m handles games -modern games! True, on demanding games you have to turn down the graphics quality settings to medium, and lower the resolution, but it can handle a lot of other games on High at 1920x1080. The 940m is a great budget graphics card, and makes this laptop totally worth the price. Buy it while you can....that's a strong recommendation.

Cons: There are a couple (apparently common) issues with this laptop. The first is somewhat annoying -in that it goes into sleep mode whenever you move the laptop while its on. Yeah, that's right.... every time I move the laptop while its on, it goes into sleep mode. It wakes up again easily, but really...come on. The second annoyance is the mouse pad is touchy, and can trigger launching things, or zooming in or out without warning. To correct this problem, I went into the touchpad settings, and disabled the "advanced features". Other than those two items, not much else to complain about. I can live with these problems, easily.

Overall Review: So in closing, I can highly recommend this laptop, without hesitation. You will NOT find a better functioning, gaming, and productive laptop for the price...anywhere...Period. So, I say buy it now before they're all gone, or the price goes through the roof once they find out they have a gem.

Super good PSU and deal!!!

LEPA N Series N500-SA 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply

Pros: The N500 surprised me on what it could handle as far as power output goes. My OC'd 4.5ghz i5 system, with two OC'd GTX 660's ran flawlessly. I purchased this to get me by until my Corsair 750w supply arrived. While it was in my computer, there were absolutely ZERO issues with gaming, or anything else. I am now a LEPA fanboy for sure! Don't wait, buy it, it's a tremendously good PSU and an even better value.

Cons: None, zero, ziltch, nada cons...it's a fantastic little PSU.

Overall Review: Cables are plenty long enough, with enough connectors for the average-mid builder.
