Best Notebook Deal in August

Pros: Best quality and performance in it's price range. I didn't beat it up yet, but I don't notice heat issues that others have mentioned, hope it stays that way. Less than 24 hours standard shipping from Newegg. Sound is reasonably good, not as good as my last Acer purchase which costed a little more, but this one is thinner.
Cons: OK, the battery life may be a slight con but check that price tag again. No Windows 7 upgrade offer, although I'm not sure if that's going to be a con in the long run.
Overall Review: Remove trial Office and Virus Scan, disable all the junk that tries to run at startup and this thing rocks. Perfect for my non gaming needs. Who does expect a good gaming notebook for under $500?
I should have known!

Pros: Newegg!
Cons: The item!
Overall Review: Processing speed is virtually non-existent. Any social media app will freeze it up and shut it down. Forget about browsing internet, even with the best internet speeds available this will not load pages. It was dirt cheap which is why I took a chance on it, but certainly should have know what I was going to get.
Last of a dying breed!

Pros: Not many AM3+ boards on the market these days, this one offers the most features for the best price.
Cons: None to report
Overall Review: Best board for the price!
First One Damaged

Pros: Newegg, Antec Cases and Power Supplies These cases come with the EarthWatts power supply which I find to be very high quality and reliable.
Cons: Delay in build for a customer, the first case I ordered arrived with 4 broken tabs on the front cover and a dent on the back of the case. The box itself was undamaged, which leaves me questioning how the damage could have happened.
Overall Review: Newegg is great, processed return and shipped out another right away, just an inconvenience.
It was the best deal on that day

Pros: Overall good laptop for the price paid that day, making the best laptop deal on Newegg at the time for a tight budget. It came with an updated version of Windows 8.1, so remaining updates went pretty quick. It was used to replace a desktop so the larger screen is nice.
Cons: The plastic around touchpad and keyboard have a cheap feel, but it's being used with external keyboard/mouse, so doesn't bother me. It's relatively slow for a newer model laptop, seemingly the processing power and hard drive speed combine to make it a non multi-tasker. It's not unbearable and was kind of expected in this price range, so maybe not a real con.
Overall Review: Ordering a solid state drive for it should give it the pep it's lacking. Happy with purchase.
Good Deal

Pros: Fast processor. Comes with both Windows 7 Pro 64 & 32 bit discs. 160gb hard drive and 2gb of memory is plenty for what I will use it for. Very quiet operation.
Cons: Had to take away at least 2 eggs for the condition of the unit. Pretty significant scratches on the case, which isn't really an issue, but the unit was dirty inside and out! Before even plugging it in I had to remove the cover and get the dust out. The front panel even had to be removed because it was caked in. No way this thing could have breathed without being cleaned. Can't believe they would box it up like this and call it refurbished. The keyboard and mouse they throw in are weak at best, good only if you don't have anything else.
Overall Review: Once the thing was cleaned up properly it turned out to be a really nice system that I would say keeps with just about anything on the market today, and look at the price. So overall, even though the dirt and dust was unexpected, I still have to say it's a good deal! Don't hesitate to buy one.
Great Deal
Best deal online for this memory. Came well packaged in antistatic bags and the shipping was super fast!
Better Than Expected
