Solid, but loud tablet
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Firefly
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my girlfriend, an artist, because it uses a Wacom digitizer. She still uses it regularly to do digital painting, but it definitely took a lot of tweaking to get the digitizer settings to be suitable for art. The default pressure sensitivity is ridiculously non-linear, and the digitizer is probably a quarter of an inch misaligned in the corners. No amount of manual tweaking was able to fix that, so it's still a challenge for me to use the pen on menus. She's gotten used to the offset so she knows where to click.
Other issues: fan spins a lot, and it's noisy. The surface 2 got better power management, but lost the wacom digitizer. The new digitizer doesn't work with Photoshop CS5 or lower, where the surface 1 does. Doesn't hibernate when plugged in, even though the power settings are set to. Will hibernate when it's not plugged in, but won't if you unplug it when it's asleep. That means if you use it unplugged, it'll be fine, but if you had it charging and unplug it and take it with you, it'll probably be dead when you turn it on.

Good, but not great remote
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Firefly
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
This remote was able to control all of my devices, from an obscure Dell mini projector to a European Denon system that no one seemed to have a remote for.
Cons:
* After about a year it refuses to charge its batteries. On the plus side, it does use AA rechargeables, so I can pop them out and throw them in an external charger. A little bit of a pain, but at least it doesn't use a proprietary battery.
* Doesn't have quite the range I had hoped for. Using the macros, I have trouble getting it to turn on both the stereo and projector. It has to be pointed more directly at each device than I would have liked. Most of the time I have to switch into individual device mode to control the devices one at a time.

Excellent budget TV, mediocre speakers
on December 15, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
The TV and picture quality are great for a budget TV, but the speakers are extremely tinny. If you get this TV, grab one of the soundbars or you won't really be able to enjoy movies with it.

Works Perfectly

Simple no frills modem that gets you connected. We're using it with Comcast, no problems handling 25MBit speeds. It doesn't come with a router built in though, so you'll need your own wifi router to connect to it.

Couch Co-op a little lacking
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Firefly
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you've played Dynasty Warriors, you'll be right at home with this game. We bought this for the couch co-op mode, and it's really much more designed for single player than couch co-op. Recommended for single player hack and slash, not so much for two player.

Bought for Enderal
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Firefly
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is currently the best video card you can purchase, period (Dec 2016), but in my system (i7-3770, 32GB RAM) it's not enough to play Skyrim Enderal at a smooth 60 fps. It could be CPU limited, but it feels like the card has a little bit of jitter. Overall, a pleasant experience, but not quite up to the level I had expected of this card.

Excellent Hardware
on April 22, 2015
Posted by: Firefly
Verified Purchase:Yes
The PS4 surprised us with how much cooler and quieter it runs than the PS3 Slim. Even in our closed cabinet, the fan rarely spins up above the minimum speed, though we do keep the cabinet doors cracked for long gaming sessions and as the days get warmer. Overall an impressive engineering job on such a powerful console.
The background updates are a great feature as well - the PS4 can update your games/apps in the background even while you're playing games, so no more waiting around for 20 minutes while it "downloads the latest update."
