Most Critical Review

Swing and a miss -

Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT102464BA1339

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Started overheating after three months, now causing page faults and BSODs.

Overall Review: Disappointing product from Crucial. I normally buy Mushkin memory but decided to take a chance on Crucial. Now I will have a dead computer for the time it takes to call Crucial, get an RMA, find some antistatic bags, mail it, and have them mail back the replacement.

Defective mouse buttons

Pros: Great price, USB 3.0, good graphics, solid performance.

Cons: The left button is weak - I have to push on the lower left corner in order to register a click. If I send it back for warranty, I will have to remove my memory upgrade, expect to lose all programs installed since purchase, and be without the laptop while waiting for repair.

Overall Review: I will take the laptop apart and see if the control board isn't centered correctly or if something is broken. If broken I will replace the offending part. It sucks, but it's easier to do that than to reload everything after waiting however long for a warranty repair.
