Pros: This is a great laptop for the price. The quality is not as high as the more expensive Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, but this isn't a poor quality system by any stretch. It has plenty of USB ports, HDMI with audio out, and a decent screen. This laptop is plenty fast to handle Windows 7, and also has out-of-box support for Ubuntu 10.04 (everything is 100% working). The gaming abilities of this laptop are poor, so don't buy this if you plan to play games on it. VLC is also able to play 1080p MKV files using Direct3D output at perfect quality over HDMI.

Cons: Case quality is a little poor after using higher-end ThinkPad systems.

Overall Review: I decided to get the SL410 over the SL510 (15" model) because of the screen resolution. Both the 14" and 15" models have identical screen resolutions, and from experience I learned that this resolution on a 15" monitor makes everything look too big, when it is on a 14" display the image definitely looks sharper due to the increased pixels per inch (PPI). If you are considering the SL410 or the SL510, I would definitely say go for the 410 due to the screen alone.

Pros: It's free, has a semi-cool looking appearance, and again, it was free.

Cons: Not very sturdy, mostly aesthetically pleasing. 12-week processing on rebate.

Overall Review: While worth the temporary price, I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking to get a really sturdy case, because of the quality of the material it does not dampen noise from fans at all. But it was free, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Pros: This is a great laptop for the price, there is no arguing that. It offers great performance, a solid exterior, and a very nice screen. The laptop feels sturdy and is made from a quality feeling plastic. The texture of the exterior and interior palm area adds a nice dimension to the laptop. Windows 7 runs great on here, and despite having a lower end processor it is still able to handle tasks with good performance.

Cons: I went to register the accidental damage warranty, and apparently this laptop is not covered under the accidental damage program. What the heck, the top of the product page on newegg specifically states that it includes 1 full year of Accidental damage! This is the ONLY reason I subtracted 2 eggs. Very very disappointing on this one.

Overall Review: If it wasn't for the lack of accidental damage coverage (which it is specifically stated to come with) I would give this a 5/5 for the price, but the warranty slip-up by either Asus or Newegg lowers the rating.

Pros: Perfect size for the college student on-the-go. It is insanely light, yet not too small. Much better keyboard than the Eee. Screen is small, but the resolution makes it manageable. I now bring this to class instead of my Macbook Pro.

Cons: Linpus, it simply is not good. I will be giving Ubuntu and Arch a go for sure.

Overall Review: Like another reviewer of this product, I ordered next day shipping and got delayed because they said they couldn't verify my bank information. 4 days later I finally got it. I talked to newegg, they told me they needed to do a conference call, then 30 seconds later they said my order was processed and there was no longer a need to do a conference call. Talk about frustrating. After 10+ orders with newegg totaling $1000's, without any issues, its sad it had to happen the one time I ask for next day shipping with rush processing.

Pros: Works great for my needs, small, and well designed.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: This product is great. The motherboard alerted me at first that my processor (a 3.0GHz Core2Duo) was not supported and a BIOS update was required. After I updated it work great. Only shows 3.0GB of my 4GB ram, I assume the rest goes to motherboard resources including video.

Pros: Works like a charm. I have 2 of these inside of a machine that I use as a file server, image server, and various other network related activities. Reliable, stable, quiet operation, overall an A++.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Not sure how much I trust large drives, seems like over the years as I buy larger drives they die more than smaller ones. I have old 500MB (yes Megabyte) drives from 1995 that still work yet I have had quite a few 500GB drives die. So far, so good however so no complaints yet. I may buy another and raid them together.
