Almost perfect

ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: High speed, high quality fan on a great heat sink. More than enough cooling power for my i7. I run it on the lowest setting and my temps never get above 60c.

Cons: Lack of 4th pin on motherboard connector so the bios cannot control the fan speeds. My older Zalman had that. What gives? Had to install the annoying external fan rheostat to keep the fan running on low. Mounting bracket is a bit flimsy for the i7. Since it only attaches to the clamp in 2 places, there is some side to side wiggle.

Overall Review: I don't get why they changed the fan pins from the older models or why it no longer attaches to the clip in 4 places instead of 2. Other than that, it works and it's a good sink/fan combo.

Awesome computer, terrible touchscreen

HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15t UHD 4k Touch 2-in-1 Premium Laptop / Tablet (Intel i7 Processor, 32GB RAM, 2TB HDD + 1TB SSD, 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) Touchscreen, Win 10 Pro)

Pros: - Fast, large storage - Great concept for laptop and tablet computing - great design - amazing screen

Cons: - touchscreen simply does not work. Ever. Even after multiple fixes, it only works temporarily then is gone. Totally defeats the point of having a computer that can turn into a tablet. Deal breaker.

Overall Review: - HP support is useless on this. They only offer fixes that work for a day, then it's back to no touch screen, which was a big part of why we got this laptop.

Pros: It works, brah. What else is there?

Cons: Not diamond encrusted for the price.

Overall Review: It is supposed to hold your tiny drive so you can fit it in a big drive slot. It does that. What else is there?
