Amazing Quality!

ThinkPad Laptop T Series Intel Core i5-2520M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 64-bit T520 (42404AU)
ThinkPad Laptop T Series Intel Core i5-2520M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 64-bit T520 (42404AU)

Pros: The computer feels like it can take a drop and feels nice and solid. I have been disappointed by various laptops with poor keyboards which flex, but absolutely no flex in the keyboard the best typing experience possible on a laptop. The built in keyboard light comes in handy too. The pc is very fast and battery life is amazing with power saving set at a quarter on the thinkvantage tools i can see in the dark for a long time with no issues. The battery life on high performance lasted for me about 4 hours. While on battery saving around 6 and a half hours! Yes six and a half hours. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to see the t530! For this review i am typing it on the thinkpad as we speak.

Cons: None! Just wish the nvidia discrete cards were cheaper and standard.

Overall Review: Overall an amazing laptop! Just a reminder Function page up turns the keyboard light on and the packaging is minimal. I paid seven sixty dollars for mine through a friend with the same coverage and perks. I must say i enjoy using this laptop more than my previous ASUS multimedia laptop.

Most Critical Review

Defective! Died suddenly!

SONY PlayStation 3 DualShock3 Wireless Controller (Metallic Blue)
SONY PlayStation 3 DualShock3 Wireless Controller (Metallic Blue)

Pros: Nice controller great price and official.

Cons: Suddenly after a month and a half decides it wont charge any more i get two blinks then stops charging. When connected to my PS3 for status of controller displays a - as in nothing.

Overall Review: I cannot RMA because i threw away the original packaging. I first tested it and it worked fine, charged no problems i have purchased 6 additional controllers in the time i have owned my 2 PS3's never have i had this problem. I reset it by hitting the button below with a toothpick and still no change. I looked online its a defective motherboard on the controller.

Great protection often at the right price.

ESET Smart Security 5 - 3 PCs
ESET Smart Security 5 - 3 PCs

Pros: Easy to install and able to warn you about malicious files on the internet. I have had ESET automatically stop a download a few times for items which when it quickly scanned showed it could be a potential threat.

Cons: Always purchasing a new license is a pain as renewing costs more than the frequent discounts you can get on newegg.

Overall Review: I would only recommend this if you can get this on sale for usually $30-40 through newegg or other places online. That is what I personally am willing to pay for three licences.

This series is Great for All!

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time PlayStation 3
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time PlayStation 3

Pros: The graphics and design excellent. The way you interact with the environment is amazing and has only gotten better as the series has grown. The games voice actor for Carmelita fox is as you would expect different every game. Though Bentley is the same and most importantly Sly. The game does take you throughout time with the ancestors and the history is very interesting.

Cons: Final boss is a bit too quick and not challenging enough for some. Seems like it was a push to get the game over. I could go for more relatives in time.

Overall Review: Wish they would make another game, as still many questions to be answered. Get the hd collection now as it is very cheap and also great games. I highly recommend playing the HD collection prior to this game, it will make the experience much better.

Fast and cost effective.

HP Officejet Pro 8100 Up to 20 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality 802.11n Thermal Inkjet Mobile Color Printer
HP Officejet Pro 8100 Up to 20 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality 802.11n Thermal Inkjet Mobile Color Printer

Pros: Very easy to setup. The wireless setup was very easy and only occasionally has issues. Having the options of either wired or wireless setup was very appealing to me. Once I walk from my desktop to the printer about 15 feet away it usually starts printing. Very quick black and white prints which blows my previous HP Deskjet 4100 out of the water.

Cons: You don't realize until you unpack the large box that the majority of the box is made up of the printer. This was larger than my previous hp Deskjet 4100.

Overall Review: If this was a bit smaller it would be even better as it takes up a large amount of my desk.

Excellent adhesive for heat spreaders.

Arctic Silver Arctic Alumina 5g Thermal Adhesive Set AATA-5G
Arctic Silver Arctic Alumina 5g Thermal Adhesive Set AATA-5G

Pros: Easy to mix and relatively easy to work with. You have about 5-8 minutes before it starts to get unworkable. This is good for reattaching heat spreaders which you removed. I usually put a weight on top to make sure that the thermal paste in the center of the die makes contact.

Cons: Strong chemical smell if not in a properly ventilated area. The smell personally gives me a headache, but is worth it.

Overall Review: Good cost and not too hard to work with.
