Great system, especially when on dale

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.

Install applications and load files quickly with this ASUS laptop using the 256GB PCIe SSD.

Great 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.

Can you clarify your comment? Are you saying this system continuously cycles the keyboard colors while in use?

Great 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?

Can you extend more regular 1tb HDD inside, just for storage? need get caddy or have one ready to attach? Thank you.

If the laptop uses a standard M.2 2280 drive then it can be upgraded, and you can do it yourself without voiding the warranty,as per the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975. Lenovo and pretty much every electronics company will try to tell you opening up your device will void the warranty, but that is against US federal law.

This doesn't have handles attached. There are pocket handles molded into the doors, with a silver stripe running along the edge of the freezer handle.

Is there something across the refrigerator that is silver in color?

The Whirlpool rep is not quite correct. As the other person said, there is a thin silver stripe across the bottom of the freezer door.

About how long does this refrigerator run with door closed and not opened between running again, and if not opened between running how long does run before shutting off?

Refrigerators run as long as they're plugged in whether the door is open or not.

Hi, I have a wall at right side of the space, so I can open the door to 90 degrees maximum. Am I able to pull out those 2 drawer at the bottom of refrigerator?

If you can open the door 90 degrees, you'll be able to open both drawers. But with the way the door is hinged and the way the front curves out (that is, the front of the door isn't flat, it curves out), you'll need about 4 inches of space on the right of the fridge to open the door 90. The door swing can be reversed, though, so that might be an option.

Is the front curved? If so, what is the depth at the sides?

This answer is no doubt too late for the original question asker, but for others looking: Yes, the doors are curved, Depth in the middle is about 30 inches, but the depth at the sides is 28 inches. I measured a few times because I've got a small kitchen and I can't get a bigger fridge than the one I'm replacing.

This Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop features an AMD Radeon RX 560X graphics card to render smooth, detailed visuals on the 15.6-inch Full HD display.
 

What is the main difference between the Radeon RX 560 X compare to the other model with the GeForce 1060x? Would it be worth spending the extra money on the GeForce to run games like World of Warcraft at high frames?

Not seeing a Nitro 5 with a GTX 1060 in it. By themselves, the RX 560x will generally slightly outperform a GTX 1050, the RX 560x and the GTX 1050 Ti are pretty evenly matched, and the GTX 1650 will generally outperform the RX 560x. Using Google with a phrase like "RX 560x vs GTX 1050 Ti" or whichever graphics you're comparing will yield a lot of info. Googling the graphics card plus World of Warcraft will also give you more specific results, as well as some gameplay examples and benchmarking.
