Great Buy
Pros: The fan has a great speed range and is very quiet. The enclosure also keeps the sounds of the hard drive scanning very quiet. All around great deals
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: This is a great deal for an enclosure with a fan and is a lot quieter than I had imagined.
Meh
Pros: I like the co-op mode...neat aspect instead of the usual huge battles against other players
Cons: The game is...meh. I was expecting a little more out of this but I like COD4 more.
Overall Review: It's not like it's a horrible game, but just waiting for a better FPS
SO CLOSE, but not quite good enough
Pros: CPU and graphics card is what lures you into buying this. It's a strong processor with a high end graphics card. The 1TB is nice and the look of the case is pleasing. Overall I like this PC, it is parted out the way I wanted mine but with a great cost savings.
Cons: #1 and worse of all: POWER SUPPLY! This 500w power supply is just barely enough to power the PC. Not literally, but speaking as someone that has built each PC I have owned before, they went with high end CPU and GPU, but saved money everywhere else. ~~~WARNING~~~~ You pretty much can't upgrade the power supply if you want to. I tried! I bought a 700w PSU to replace the stock one, but that's when I found out the PSU that comes with this build is a 12 PIN connection! This is not common at all and is almost proprietary to this build. The other downside to this is the RAM. It's also a cost saver for them and is just OK. I also upgraded this when I bought the PC, but had no issues after the upgrade.
Overall Review: OVERALL: I like the PC...I'm stuck with the power supply, but I think overall for the price it is still a good deal. I tried to price this out if I built it myself, but found I would have been spending about $300-500 more if I built it with the parts I wanted. My fault for picking a CPU/GPU combo than just doing it myself for the extra cost.
Awesome Laptop!
Pros: Lots of performance and speed. Great for normal everyday use and even makes for a great gaming laptop.
Cons: bloatware from Lenovo just bogs down the boot up, but can be disabled for quicker boot.
Overall Review: bought this for my wife for school work and for my son to play games. Works perfect for both of them!
Great Price and Excellent Product
Pros: 4.3" screen is very nice for portable player. Interface is so easy to use. It's so much easier to manage my media in Windows Media Player and sync. Very affordable! Expansion slot is great! FM Tuner with recording is a nice touch! Small enough to fit in my pocket comfortably (I thought it might be to big or bulky to be carried in a pocket).
Cons: Stylus should have a better place to be stored than hanging off the side. Conversion software is sluggish and needs to be done a couple times on some movies. No easy way to put media on SD card that I've figure out. Needs to be taken out and put stuff on there then put back in. Syncing music can sometimes take to long. Once pic showed some kind of dock with the player which is not included.
Overall Review: The converting software sometimes does not get it done right the first time. I've uploaded 10 movies on it so far and 2 have needed a second conversion to get it on, but it has worked the second time around. Heard the expansion is only compatible to 8GB so I bought that to be safe. OVERALL: It's a very affordable player versus others in the same screen size, flash memory and style. If you want to save money and get something good, here it is!
Great gaming performance
Pros: great 2ms response time. Node fading between transitions for gaming. NO DEAD PIXELS!! great color, brightness and contrast control with premades profiles and manual controls.
Cons: can only tilt, no other adjusting...and this had built in speakers? I don't get why these are built in still, it's essentially a waste.
Overall Review: Reading some other reviews, people need to know this, a monitor is for computer functions and is not meant to replace a TV...yet. It's getting there, but for that function you need to pay a heavier cost. As for normal PC functions like work and gaming, this monitor is wonderful! However, I did watch episodes of some of my favorite TV shows, it wasn't the best quality, but I don't expect my monitor to perform the same as my TV. Lastly, I have a window behind me that drove me nuts with my glossy monitor from my old laptop...with this monitor I don't even notice if the blinds are open or closed. It's a nice change for me :)
