Good storage, speedy, and cheap

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lots of space to dump files or use as a file history drive. There is not much to this drive, just the drive, enclosure and cables. That is all I needed though and it works fine. I have never had an issue with WD drives and own 6, all varying sizes, and all perform well and are stable. I use the 18TB as a file history drive for me desktop and I use this one as a dump disk. That is, for files I don't want on my computer, but also don't want to delete. This should last a few years given its size and I have never had an issue with WD External drives.

Good, solid drive with solid performance

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a 2.5 SSD with lots of storage because I had conflicting needs. I needed lots of storage, which usually is reserved for HDD, but this little SSD has 4TB, which is plenty for what I need. The speeds are what you would expect from a SATA drive and it even comes with a 5 year warranty. If your desktop is out of m.2 slots and has a spare 2.5 slot, you won't go wrong picking up one of these. While obviously not as fast as a m.2, it is still much faster than a spinning HDD and the 4TB will provide enough storage for a couple of years

Perfect tablet for those looking for a smaller one

Verified Purchase:Yes
When it comes to tablets, you simply can't beat Apple. I got this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. Everything is top notch quality and it can handle whatever you throw at it with ease. The size and weight make bringing this along with you anywhere a breeze and the quality is typical Apple. It feels solid and performs without any issues. I am glad I got this for my wife, because she absolutely loves it

Good student laptop/Entry gaming machine
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is great general purpose laptop that doubles as a pretty good gaming machine. I wish the screen was a little high resolution, as 1080 just doesn't cut it anymore on a laptop with this size screen. Overall though, I am pleased with this laptop. The 3060 can handle almost anything because the screen is only 1080 and the machine is well built and feels solid.
The screen is nice and bright, and the keyboard with the number pad is actually quite nice to type on. There was little bloatware, and some of the installed programs are even useful. For the price, this is a good machine. I would recommend for students or entry level gamers that don't need crazy resolutions to game on. Again, the screen really is quite nice and the keyboard is easy to type on. I love have the 10 digit numpad for when I need to do work on the laptop.
It is also slim and light enough to slip into any bag and you're on your way. The 512GB SSD is a little on the small side for me, so I added a 2TB SSD. I install programs on the main drive and everything else goes on the 2TB drive. I have mine loaded up with Steam Games, movies, shows, documents, etc.
All around a good laptop for people that want a daily driver that can also run most games at relatively high settings when they want to game.

Lots of super fast storage
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
Lots of superfast storage. I do heavy 3D Design work and this drive is great for loading lots of assets very quickly. The difference between this SSD and my previous SSD is like going from a HDD to a 2.5 SSD. 7,000MB/S is blazing fast and my wait times have gone down significantly since installing this drive. I needed the space for my large amount of assets that are held in a database, and the read write on this drive is just incredible. My previous m.2 took between 20-30 second to load some assets and with this drive it take a mere few seconds.

Great little laptop for games and productivity
on April 24, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a pretty great little laptop. It runs a little hot, even with a fan under it, but it is much more quiet when not gaming than I expected. When just browsing the web and using standard programs, it is silent, but it does hover around 90 F. There are settings that you can adjust to bring the temps down, but it adds fan noise. I also have an Alienware X-14 with the new i7 from Intel, and while it is much slimmer than this laptop, it is also multitudes more loud.
I got this laptop more for basic computing rather than gaming, but it does both very adeptly. The screen is gorgeous, so game, movies, and everyday applications all look great. It also gets quite bright and because it is QHD, it looks super sharp. I can't fault the screen here.
Performance wise, this is a capable machine. It runs games really well, and I like that the card has a 8GB to work with. I am not a heavy gamer, but I like to fire one up every once in a while and this laptop has been able to handle modern AAA games without much issue. It obviously handles productivity tasks without any hiccups.
The all AMD setup is quite nice, as most of my computers are a mix of Intel, AMD and nVidia. I also like that I can control the TDP of the CPU, GPU, and overall system. The CPU and GPU are both very capable for performance, and if you need more battery life.
The keyboard is actually really nice. I have had no issues typing on it, though I find most keyboards that are low profile are easy to type on. I can't comment on the speakers because I don't really use laptop speakers. I always see reviews of laptop speakers and they are generally poor, but it is a laptop. If you want good sound, get some speakers or a headset.
Battery life is also pretty good for a laptop packing this much power in this small of a form factor. Although the AC adapter is large, it is also a standard 240W so it is easy to find a second one to keep at home and plugged in. The AC adapter also provides more than enough juice to power the laptop.
Overall, I would say this a great little laptop. The screen steals the show and is one of the best I have used on a laptop. I know there are better versions with 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, but those also are a bit too pricey for me. I wish they offered 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD with this particular CPU/GPU, but you don't get everything you want.
I would definitely buy this laptop again. It is high quality, performs very well at all tasks, and the battery has enough juice that I can get through the day without having to plug in.

Solid cable for SATA drives

I don't know what so say about this cable. It is cheap and works fine. This is not a complex item, so if you need a SATA cable, and a black one at that, these should suffice.

Crummy, but you get what you pay for
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
These headphones barely function as they should. They are not very comfortable for long use and they are very cheap. I got these to use because I work from home and just needed a cheap set to use for work. The mic is fine, and the audio is okay, but man, they are cheaply made.
I do like that the mic mutes when you raise the mic, but that is about the only thing I like about these. I could not get them to work correctly without installing the Logitech software, which bothered me somewhat. It is not a USB cable, so be aware that you will need to use the included adapter to plug them into USB.
Overall, I regret this purchase. I love Logitech and they have some extremely high quality devices that I use regularly, but you get what you pay for. If you can afford to spend an extra $20, you can get much better than these. Even for work, these are not a good headset, so I don't imagine they will be good for long gaming sessions either.

Great TV for the money
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this TV knowing I would replace it in a few years. I can't speak to longevity for this device, but I am not concerned about that because I am replacing it.
This TV is replacing a 60" Sharp TV I had that went out. The Sharp is out of warranty and was a piece of junk that I wish I had no purchased. I know TCL is not a premium brand, but this TV actually has a nice picture. I like the size as well, as it gives me some room back going from the 60" Sharp.
I also got this on sale, and the value for money is off the charts here. It is also 4K, which is nice, and has Google TV built in. If you need a TV this size and don't want to drop extra money on a device like the Apple TV, this is a great choice.
Overall, very pleased with this TV. It was dirt cheap, has Google TV, and a nice picture.

Reliable, high capacity external HDD
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a drive to backup to. I don't need insane speeds or anything like that, just something to use as a secondary backup should my primary fail. I have many WD drives and all of them perform well. I have 5 WD NAS drives in my NAS, and those have performance exceptionally as well.
This drive is plenty fast for what I need it for, and is an okay deal for 12TB. I like that it doesn't come with any extras, as I just wanted a drive to dump files onto. I also have an 18TB, 16TB and 14TB version of these, and they all perform well and handle the beating I give them daily.
If you need a reliable, high capacity external HDD for backup or to use as a "dump disk", this is a good choice. I will update this review if there are any issues, but so far it is doing well and serving its prupose.

I see that this comes with only 16GB RAM and that one 8GB is soldered on. My question is, since this supports up to 24GB, will I be able to replace the other 8GB RAM stick with a 16GB RAM stick to achieve 24GB? Wish this came with 32GB!
