Exceeded my expectations
Pros: Full HD screen Great battery life Cool on the bottom Backlit keyboard Easy update to Windows 8.1 Comfortable keyboard Great design, fit, and finish Generous hard drive Quiet
Cons: Power brick is a little awkward - It's wall-wart style (like a MacBook, but the prongs don't fold down) and tends to cover the next outlet on my power strip. Could just be my power strip. Could have more RAM, but that's an easy upgrade down the road. Hard drive is a 5400rpm model, so launching larger programs can take a moment, but it's really a non-issue for me.
Overall Review: The full HD screen is gorgeous. That was one of my main requirements when looking for a new laptop, and this is one of the only models in this price range that has a screen anywhere near this good. From my quick research, it looks like these computers were a BB exclusive for a while at a much higher price. Mine appeared brand new with no obvious wear, so I suspect that they just didn't sell as well as BB had hoped so they pulled them and canceled their order. Their loss is our gain!
Good value
Pros: Good sound, nice fit, cool colors, mic with play/pause button, cheap enough to not worry about.
Cons: Connections where the wire goes into the ear pieces and the stereo plug seem a little fragile, but so far so good.
Overall Review: These headphones sound and fit as good as similar ones costing much more. Only time will tell on durability, but for the price, get two and hope for the best.
Good so far
Pros: Good price, easy way to add loads of storage to a device.
Cons: Write speeds not quite as fast as I expected, but totally usable.
Overall Review: Purchased to expand the storage in my android phone, and although it's only been in there one day, it's working great. I forgot how small micro SD card really are!
Pros: Seems to be a grood card for the money. Needed to upgrade an older system for a new 20" widescreen display, and it did the trick. It would probably work for some 3d games, but I wouldn't know. Plus, no fan = quiet!
Cons: nView accessory software is a little weird and seems to be a resource hog. Luckily, it's not on by default, and it's easy to turn back off if it doesn't work right.
Overall Review: If you just need a new card with a DVI-out, this one will definitely get r done.
RAMbunctious
Pros: Good price. Breathed new life into an older system without any problems.
Cons: I didn't get two!
