Pros: This laptop is the perfect size for me, not so big that it won't fit in my backpack, yet large enough to watch movies on with a friend. The screen on this machine is amazing. Unlike older models, the viewing angle (side to side) is nearly 180 degrees. the speakers are LOUD and clear. the S/PDIF out is nice, and the graphics card it powerful enough to play current games on, and can handle last years games on their highest settings. This laptop runs very cool, and the placement of all of the inputs and outputs is perfect. The keyboard has a nice feel to it, and it's nice to finally have a numpad attached. I could not have asked for a better machine at this price.

Cons: this laptop is a fingerprint magnet. it will never be fingerprint free once you open the box. also, the onboard microphone is kinda suckish, although most are. My old Toshiba (which is still limping along after 6 years) had volume controls which you could access with the lid closed, and I kind of missed that. However, this one has better media controls once you open the lid, so it evens out. I'm trying really hard to find another con, and i'm coming up with nothing... oh, got one. There's a limit of 5 per customer right now... So I can't buy ten or twelve more... (one for each of my family, maybe a couple for my friends if they ask nicely)

Overall Review: If you are looking for a good entry-level gaming computer, or a pc that is capable of displaying 720p movies without straining, this is the computer for you. The Intel I5 is really a huge step up from the old intel class and has really impressed me so far. The speakers are impressive, and the ability to run digital out to my surround system through the S/PDIF is great. The screen is bright and clear and has an amazing viewing angle, and the keyboard is easy to type on. all in all, just buy it!

Pros: Corded antenna allows you to position it in better range of your router, which is good because. . .

Cons: . . . the reception is not very good. I originally attached a non-corded antenna to it from another card and I could not get above 1 bar of signal. after adding on the original antenna again and placing it around the corner from my desk I was able to get up to 3 bars. If there is any extra interference this card will still drop down to 2 bars.

Overall Review: Not a very good card, but dirt cheap. If you are just browsing the web and aren't too far from your router, go for it. If you plan on gaming or trying to stretch the range of your router, spend a little more on another product.

Pros: This is a very efficient design, and very versatile. I have mine configured as a NAS with RAID level 10 and everything fits in neatly. It is a very clean design and fits in nicely in my living room next to my entertainment center. the case is very sturdy and the top intake fans have a easily removable mesh. the side panel usb ports/power buttons help to keep a very clean look. the rubberized finish is nice too. Reminds me of the finish on my alienware laptop.

Cons: The case is set up very differently than any other case I have worked with, so it took me a while to get everything to fit in properly. It becomes a very tight fit, and if you don't put everything in in the right order, you will be taking it all back out again. If you are using a standard ATX power supply, you will not be able to mount a fan to the front of the case. Also, unless you have a very slim fan, you cannot mount your fans in the recessed area under the filter, you must mount them further inside the case, meaning you loose a couple of inches of clearance. also, there is not much room for cable management. Once the case is together though, this thing is amazing.

Overall Review: overall, i think this is an amazing case, even if it is a little hard to get everything in just right. I followed Joanne's advice in the demo video and flipped the side panels and it makes things a lot easier!

Pros: This is a great keyboard/mouse set, especially for the price. Logitech makes some of the best keyboards and mice, and this is no exception. There is nothing fancy about them, but they will last you forever.

Cons: none for the price.
