Great system, especially when on dale
on October 4, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great system with solid specs. A more potent graphics card would be welcome, but it’s good for the price. This system is also upgradable with room for another SSD and more RAM, so that’s good. My kid loves it.

Great sound for the price

Sure, you’re not going to get deep rumbling bass out of these speakers, but they sound really good--especially for the price. Sound is clear and well-balanced. Aux jack on the front is handy, too.

Microsoft has hit Peak Controller with this one
on August 9, 2019
Posted by: MattT
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are a lot of things about Microsoft that make me crazy, but I gotta give them props for this controller. It's pretty great. A nice size, comfortable to use, buttons all easy to reach, headphone jack so wires aren't going everywhere... Darn near perfect.
It looks us years to wear out the controllers on our Xbox 360. I'm hoping the One controllers are similarly long-lived.

Way too expensive for what it is
on August 9, 2019
Posted by: MattT
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's the TI-84 Graphing Calculator. It's the standard calculator for schools. It's easy to use.
It's also built around the Zilog Z80 microprocessor--a microprocessor that first went on the market in 1976. This calculator descends from the TI-81, which entered the market in 1990. The first TI-84 entered the market in 2004. These calculators are by now dirt cheap to make and the R&D costs have long since been recovered. They should be checkout lane impulse buys by now.
But they're the calculators all the schools use because they're the calculators in all the math textbooks. So they charge this much because they can.
Yes, I would "recommend this to a friend", but only grudgingly, because I know it' the calculator all the other kids are using and it's probably the only one the teacher will be able to help with.
If you have a little extra money to spend, spring for the color screen version.

Great for the price
on August 9, 2019
Posted by: MattT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this on sale for about 100 bucks, and for that price, it's great. Very easy to assemble, easy to empty out, and it doesn't appear to struggle with picking anything up yet. I didn't notice when I bought it that it's one of those "giant rollerball" kind of vacuums, so it's very maneuverable--that was a nice surprise.
But it's lightweight and very plasticy. The light weight is great, as it makes it easy to maneuver and easy to move up and down the stairs. The plasticky...eh, not so much. My last vacuum--a Eureka--was more solidly built and lasted almost a decade; but then, it cost a lot more. I don't expect this one to last as long.
Good selection of tools, that all store on the machine. Well, almost all. I can't figure out how to attach the pet wand thing to the vacuum. Plus, there's an extra storage point on the vacuum that I don't have a tool for. So that's weird.
At it's regular price, I think it's worth spending a bit more for something more robust. But if you can get it on sale--especially for around $100--it's a great deal.

Play games or complete work away from home with this ASUS laptop. The AMD Ryzen quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM run intensive programs smoothly, while an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card delivers clear, detailed visuals on the 15.6-inch Full HD display. Install applications and load files quickly with this ASUS laptop using the 256GB PCIe SSD.

5 out of 5Great all around PC laptop, not just for "gaming"
By Hardrive
Far to many people will pass up this terrific PC laptop thinking its only for someone that has to play video games.
It has a gorgeous IPS NON-Touchscreen display, also a non-glossy screen !
Not a two in one design !
Great keyboard look and feel, as well as the rest of the notebook.
The "Gaming" branding is subtle, my only real complaint is the keyboard back-light color scheme, it can't be changed from its default cycle through red-green blue even though an ASUS rep
on the Best Buy Q&A page claims it can be, not a deal breaker it can be turned off and brightness level can be changed, just not the colors.
The value for money spent (on sale at $599 to $549) is outstanding, its built very well has dedicated graphics and I routinely get 6-7 hours of battery life in day to day use (not gaming)
Honestly for a windows PC Glossy touchscreen two in one designs are simply not mainstream, this design works best for most people.

Clarify colors
August 17, 2019
Can you clarify your comment? Are you saying this system continuously cycles the keyboard colors while in use?

There's always a place for fresh and frozen favorites inside our Whirlpool~ refrigerator. This 28" top-freezer refrigerator offers 18 cu. ft. capacity with more convenient storage options thanks to the Flexi-Slide~ bin that adjusts to make space for tall items. Bright LED interior lighting casts a more natural light on the contents of your black, white or stainless steel top-freezer refrigerator so food looks as it should. Plus, you can easily access ice by adding the Whirlpool~ EZ Connect icemaker kit

5 out of 5Great basic, no-frills fridge
By MattT
I have a a small older house with a small kitchen, so finding a fridge to replace the dying 25-year-old one that came with the house was a challenge.
So glad to find this one! No fancy features, just a big box of cold. (An ice maker can be installed if wanted.) Thanks to a well thought out interior with well designed door, this fridge can actually hold more stuff than my old one, even though it has a slightly smaller footprint.
If I have a complaint, it's the freezer door. You have to make sure to push it all the way closed because it won't completely swing closed like the main door does.
If you want a basic fridge that keeps food cold without a lot of complicated features, this is a sold choice.

Still love the fridge a few months later. Did need to have it serviced: I was getting frost build up--icicles even--in the fridge due to a gap between the freezer door seal and the body of the fridge, and a sort of deep low pulsing sound had developed. The tech said the sound is the compressor and is normal. I'd bet cash money it's a sound that's developed in the last few weeks, but the tech said it was okay. He also fixed the seal in about 10 minutes. As a bonus, he said he noticed the door was hanging a little too low so he adjusted that and now the freezer door swings closed just fine. So I'm still not certain about the noise, but my complaint about the freezer door in my earlier review has been addressed.

What RAM to buy to upgrade to 16 GB? Technical details on the RAM in the system are a little sparse. What speed/latency/etc? Okay to match specs with another 8 GB stick, or better to replace what's there with a 2 x 8 GB set?

I’ve read online that some people who bought this laptop have noticed that in the drive bay there was no Sata cable to connect to a HDD or SDD. So my question is does this model have the sata cable so I could connect a secondary drive?
Got this laptop for my son a few weeks ago and it did include a cable and mounting screws for adding a hard drive. They’re in separate little baggies though, and easily overlooked if you’re not careful when unpacking the laptop. No bracket, but those are easy enough to get, assuming the new drive doesn’t come with one.

Is there any places that fixes the calculator? My screen at a part won’t show because I dropped it and I don’t want to pay for a new one.
These calculators have become cheap enough (and I know, for a lot of people on a personal level a hundred bucks is not cheap, but on the market level, it is) that repairing them isn't worth it. By the time you pay shipping, parts, and labor you may as well have bought a new one.
As far as repairing goes, your best bet is to find a calculator for parts on eBay or Craigslist (because the screen isn't available by itself from TI), hope the screen isn't the problem in that unit, and try swapping out the screen yourself.
Sorry.
