CORSAIR Survivor 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive CMFSV3-16GB
CORSAIR Survivor 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive CMFSV3-16GB

Pros: - Very durable - Does what I got it for

Cons: - Bulky - Doesn't work in sub-USB 3.0 ports (won't be detected)

Pros: - Plays most games at it at very high settings with little issue (dual cooling bays help it from becoming anywhere near as hot as my old laptop). - Performs very well as a work laptop, spent most of the time since I bought it programming (since I'm pursuing a computer science degree) and it has performed very well.

Cons: - The biggest con I've found is the speed of the hard drive. It doesn't take too much to max it out (not a huge problem when playing games, but when downloading quickly or compiling c++ the extra time waiting can become noticeable). - The 'm' key lost one of the plastic pieces that keeps it connected which means it will occasionally fall off (after which I can still snap it back into place). I'm just hoping none of the other keys follow suit.

Pros: I've used the mouse extensively for work and play and it has worked perfectly for both.

Cons: - The storage spot for the USB receiver is on the outside bottom of the mouse where it's easy for it to come unattached (vs another mouse I owned which has storage under the battery flap).

Pros: - Does what I need it to.

Cons: - A bit on the slow side, ripping a music CD takes a good 5-10 minutes. - USB cable provided is fairly short. Can lead to having to awkwardly position it depending on where I am when using it.
