I have had this mouse for several days but have only been able to test it on a few games. For starters, this mouse is one of the most precise mice I have EVER used in my life. I have about 15 hours of gameplay into Borderlands 3 since receiving it and I went from level 35 to beating the game within that timeframe. This mouse is perfect for strafe-shooting as it glides smoothly across the mouse mat I have on my desk. I had no problems targeting and shooting Mobs and bosses throughout my gameplay.
This mouse, as implied by its name is extremely lightweight and using it in wireless mode, I noticed practically no input lag. While it is not endowed with RGB lighting or a bunch of buttons (it has 5 including the scroll wheel), it makes up for this by being extremely versatile and precise. No mouse cord drag either while using it wirelessly, which I have found to be a problem on most wired mice.
Considering the sheer amount of time I have been using this mouse, my battery is down to 84% from a full charge. I do not have the optional charging mat that Logitech has available for this and some of its other wireless mice, but with a 70+ hour life per charge when in constant use, I consider it to be truly optional.
It has a nice feel to it and comes with optional grip tape in case you find it flying out of your hand often. I cannot list other mice I have used but I have been a PC gamer for decades. This truly is the best mouse I have ever had the opportunity of using, gaming and otherwise. The pricing falls inline with Logitech’s other wireless gaming mice, but it is fantastic if you don’t need to macro a bunch of things for certain games, like Fortnite. While I do not play Fortnite with any regularity, I found myself taking out other players at a decent distance because of no cursor drift over a couple of rounds. It feels as almost an extension of my hand and it aims exactly where you point it.
I would absolutely recommend trying this mouse out. It’s definitely all that and then some.

I love this product so much that my microwave is becoming jealous of it. I have a “pot” style air fryer as well as this. Some key differences, this makes toast, and makes it painless to do so. It can fit and cook a store-bought pizza as well as a traditional kitchen oven can. The controls are very intuitive with one knob to change between modes (on the left) and another knob to toggle between temperature and time settings (it rotates and acts like a selector by pushing in on it). The LCD display has a plethora of information and time can be set up to hours, depending on the cooking mode used.
So far, I have cooked: Tater tots, French fries, cheese sticks, a 12” pizza and have made toast with it. The build quality is professional, with entirely stainless-steel surfaces, the timer is extremely precise, as well as the temperature (up to 450 degrees). I’m not much of a cook, but I’m having a lot of fun finding new things to cook with it.
Downsides: It gets hot but is managed by a cooling fan that typically runs at the end of a cooking cycle. It needs about 4” of clearance on all 4 sides, so if you don’t have much countertop space, you might want to look at something smaller. This has gracefully handled any food I have thrown at it, with great results.

I have always been a throw it in the microwave type of person and generally don't cook anything complex. That being said, I did what most people would do with an air fryer and googled an air fryer recipe for tater tots. With some slight time adjustments, I was able to get them crispy and golden brown and in my opinion, just right.
My next experiment were shoestring fries. With a bit more googling, I managed to cook these to restaurant quality.
I proceeded to try frozen chicken thighs, and although the cook time seem like it was longer than it would normally take in the oven, they came out evenly and thoroughly cooked. Possibly some of the best "cheap" chicken I have ever had.
The Bella Air Fryer makes some great fried mozzarella sticks to, with just the right amount of melted cheese in the middle and crispy on the outside.
The touchscreen is very responsive, even when its less than clean. I find the menu button interface a little confusing as you toggle between Air Fry and several additional cook settings, eventually ending back on Air Fry. I think the touchscreen benefits greatly with the time and temperature controls, along with a built in pause type of feature. I cannot speak to whether the touchscreen is a convenience over other similar products, as this is my first air fryer.
I've also put on about 10 pounds since I got it. So, I am thoroughly happy with it.

I had used this for a couple of weeks, but I was very impressed by this filter. It has a built in sensor that predicts how much life the filter has left before needing to be changed. There is an app, in my case using the Android version. The app was easy to install and had no problems seeing the sensor on the filter. It uses Bluetooth to communicate with the filter and the app will receive periodical updates, as well as indicate the outdoor air quality.
I would still be using this filter, but I have an HVAC system that's fairly old (24 years) and the excellent filtration on this made my system work a little too hard. Don't let this dissuade you, this is a quality product and works well in most setups. I would buy another if my circumstances allowed it.

First off, let me compliment Logitech on including a wrist wrest with this keyboard. Too many other don't include such a basic thing.
Anyway, I've been using this keyboard for a few months and want to say a few things about my experiences so far.
The key switches on this model are not the clicky kind, which is fine. I do notice some slight keypress reverb throughout the keyboard though when typing rapidly.
Creating custom lighting routines and macros are primarily done through accomplished through the Logitech G Hub software.
I use some of the custom keycaps that come with this product, swapping out the stock keycaps with contoured ones on the Q,E,W,A,S,D keys so that I don't have to look down in the middle of gameplay to find my place on the keyboard.
The LEDs are nice and bright and this keyboard can put on a good light show.
Nothing shows any sign of wear after using this for a few months. The key presses register immediately with no ghosting that I have noticed.
My only gripe would be that it's impossible to see the "FN" shortcuts on the top of the keyboard. They are pring on the front facing edges of the keys and are a bit harder to see in low or no lighting.
I game with this every day and would recommend this to my friends.

I find the sound quality to be decent for these being wireless headphones. I have tried them with both gaming and various music genres and feel that a place on your desk. The 7.1 surround audio effect was okay, but not cinema quality by any means. It does add a layer to gaming, especially in FPS type games, with directional audio cues. Don't get me wrong, the surround sound works fine on this headset, it just doesn't sound like a room full of speakers to me.
They are comfortable for hours of gameplay and have a decent battery life. The microphone is detachable, in case you can't find an easy way to the mute the mic for extended periods.
I like the aesthetics of this headset. Only on a rare occasion does the audio crackle, but I'm typing this with my cell phone between the USB adapter and the headset while listening to music.
Good all around.

This high-quality ink tank printer delivers up to 2 years of ink in bottles included in the box.~ Get faster connections with dual-band Wi-Fi~, and easy mobile printing with HP Smart app.~
Posted by: Andyj
from Germantown, MD
It has a flatbed scanner with no ADF, but has a compact rear loading paper tray for printing paper. It didn’t seem to be all that fast in print speed, but the quality is pretty good, even on plain paper. The printer itself is lightweight and fairly easy to setup with the mobile app. I found that the ink containers were easy to add to the printer, with seemingly spill proof caps. With this being an “Tank” printer, it should get several thousand pages between ink refills. I cannot affirm this as I don’t have enough paper sitting around.
A great HP ink printer overall.

The AW610M matches the design scheme of my Alienware R9 Aurora Lunar Light. This mouse can be used on any other computer with a USB port, but its features make more sense as an accessory for the R9 Aurora.
It has a 16,000 DPI optical sensor that feels extremely precise in FPS games, and precise movement in general. It has a comfortable feel in my hand and I could game all day with this mouse. I haven’t had to charge it again since it’s first charge. I’m not anywhere near 350 hours, stated on the box, but I use it enough to find the battery just last essentially, for days.
It has customizable color selection and lighting effects, through the Alienware Command Center.

The low-profile keys have a nice feel to them, with a quick response time, and they are pretty quiet. This is my first gaming keyboard with Cherry MX switches, and they feel great.
It has customizable color selection and lighting effects, even per key, through Alienware Command Center.
Handy design for volume control, some built-in FN shortcuts, but lacking a shortcut for sleep mode

The Philips Hue HDMI Sync box adds premium surround lighting to your home theater by syncing your Hue smart lights with movies, music and video games. Watch, listen and play with more wonder and excitement as your lights dance, flash, dim and brighten with your screen. Requires Hue color capable lights and a Hue Bridge (sold separately).
Posted by: Andyj

The lighting and Hue Play didn’t take too much effort to set up and can use a single AC adapter with multiple plug-in spots for the Hue Play Sync Box and included lighting, taking up only 1 wall outlet instead of 3.
It comes with multiple mounting options to position the included lights practically wherever you want to place them.
I feel it does not work with music currently, with color transitions either too slow or too rapid. Hopefully, this will be resolved with a future software/firmware update.
It’s an exciting way to watch things in the living room, or room of your choice, and with the addition of Philips Hue color bulbs in additional spots, can create a “surround lighting” experience that syncs nearly instantaneously with what you are viewing. I found that the lighting perfectly matched up with my 2nd generation Hue color bulbs, for a seamless transition between the lights.
A great new way to experience color LED lighting.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
Can this handle two monitors with extended display (not duplicate)?
This computer has 1 HDMI port and 1 VGA port. In theory, yes as they still make monitors with a 15-pin VGA connection.

I intend to purchase the HP Pavilion 590-p0044, which comes with only 1 HDMI slot. I want to run 2 monitors independently. I'm considering buying the NVIDIA Quadro P400. Does anyone any experience in using this card?
I would hit google and check the motherboard specs before doing this. It's highly impractical to run a GPU on this machine, as the case won't fit a full length card and the PSU has zero connectors for a GPU.

If I add an hard drive do I need to upgrade power supply
No, there is a third SATA power connector inside. I've run it with both the stock 1TB drive + a 2TB HHD and currently have an SSD to replace the 1TB and still have the 2TB HDD running in it.

Does the motherboard support other ryzen CPUs? Ryzen 7?
It should, but I would not invest in upgrading this build. It doesn't have enough room for a full length GPU and has a proprietary PSU, Mobo and even the DVD drive in it has a wierd half-cable SATA power connector.

Does this computer have video optical output, microphone, headset out put
No, it has minimal audio connections. Enough to connect a headset with a mic to on the front and the back has those plus maybe a line in.
