Most Favorable Review

Not a bad NIC after all

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Yesterday I posted a review stating that it the ASRock had a bad NIC because I could not get file and print sharing to work. It was actually the drivers on the website and CD that were bad. I assume ASRock realized this because they have removed those drivers since I posted my review.

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: The driver file name that I obtained from the Realtek website that worked for me was: Install_Win7_7053_03162012.zip , Yup..I know I should have done this first...brain fart what can I say.

Most Critical Review

Overclocked but not stable

EVGA SuperClocked+ 02G-P4-2684-KR GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked+ 02G-P4-2684-KR GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: GTX 680 was one of the best graphics cards out when I made the purchase.

Cons: eVGA does not appear to have properly tested their OC as I had to downclock the video card to keep it from crashing during long gaming sessions.

Ordered 6, 3 arrived defective.

WD Red Pro WD161KFGX 16TB 7200 RPM 512MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
WD Red Pro WD161KFGX 16TB 7200 RPM 512MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Overall Review: 3 out of the 6 WD Red 16TB hard drives are defective. 2 of them won't even show up on neither my NAS or my PCs and 1 of them is full of bad sectors.

Low quality keyboard, limited viewing angle

Acer Laptop Aspire E5-573G-56RG Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 4 GB 15.6" Windows 10 Home
Acer Laptop Aspire E5-573G-56RG Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 4 GB 15.6" Windows 10 Home

Pros: Good price to performance ratio.

Cons: Lower quality screen. Horrible quality keyboard. I receive laptop on tuesday and played an MMORPG tuesday and wednesday. I slightly missed the center of the tab key and pushed on the bottom part and the tab key came right off. I have attempted to reattach this tab key multiple times and each time it will come right off if I hit the bottom area of the tab button. No key was hit with any force. I tried calling acer customer service to see if maybe they would send me a replacement key. I was on hold for almost an hour and then at around 5:35pm yesterday the recording said they were closed and hung up the call.

Overall Review: Honestly this is the lowest quality keyboard I have ever used in my life.

Not full Acronis, and its the old one.

Plextor PX-M2 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PX-128M2S
Plextor PX-M2 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PX-128M2S

Pros: It comes with Acronis to assist in upgrading hard drives easily. It also does not require any firmware update. Which makes it probably the easiest SSD to work with at this time.

Cons: The acronis this comes with is an OEM old version of Acronis True Image its like v10 or something. It also has all the features disabled except for the things the basic features. This was my main reason of picking this drive over the competition. Without full version of Acronis the only benefit this drive has is ease of installation. It does not out perform other Sata III SSD's.

Initial review

Wenger Swiss Gear PEGASUS 17" GA-7306-06F00 Laptop Computer Backpack
Wenger Swiss Gear PEGASUS 17" GA-7306-06F00 Laptop Computer Backpack

Pros: Comfortable, nice padding on the back and straps.

Cons: Everything else. I believe that it is hand crafted...I see loose threads in several places. The small easy access pocket gets caught in the pockets lining. The stabilizer that keeps laptop sitting up is just a flap on the bottom of the main bag that doesnt even stay in place. The design of the pockets are very basic and not really well thought out and this is the warranty: "This warranty does not cover accidental damage, improper handling or normal wear and tear, and specifically excludes claims for anything other than the product itself. If your product is found to be defective in workmanship or material, we will repair or replace it at our option. in such an event , send proof of purchase, explanation of the defect, and except where not permitted by applicable lay, your dates sales slip, a return address and $10.00 to cover postage and handling." That's right they want you to pay shipping both ways

Overall Review: This is my initial review of this product, my gf picked up a backpack called the Macroloader which does have a superior design in my opinion and impressive warranty. We will have to see how durable this Wenger PEGASUS ends up being in the long run. I am very disappointed in Wenger's warranty.
