The most powerful console for now
on December 6, 2024
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
The best, most powerful console for at least the next 3-4 years or until the PS6 and next Xbox come out. If you have a newer big screen TV and want the best console experience then the PS5 Pro is it. Waiting on GTA 6 well this will be the best way to play as there is no word on a PC version and if things hold true to past release it won't be until at least a year later. If you have the money or can up trade to offset the cost it's worth it.

Play a third-person, story-driven game set in alternative Russia at the turn of the XIX century where religious visions clash with harsh reality. INDIKA tells the story of a young nun who sets off on a journey of self-discovery with the most unusual companion by her side, the devil himself.

Controls are a miss for small hands
on November 1, 2023
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
The product is okay but if you have smaller hands the controls are going to be an issue as you'll have trouble reaching for the bumpers. It just never feels good since you are hitting closer to the side and not the top. Given that the FPS mode there is another button there and it feels odd depressing some when hitting the RB. Also, the back buttons since they are not symmetrically placed also feel weird and not functional as your fingers are not positioned uniformly. So you end up leaving them off making the handles feel weird since its not smooth like a normal grip.
It could just be me but the detection of the onscreen Windows 11 keyboard seemed hit or miss sometimes it would just not deploy for you to type. It would serve Microsoft well if they intended to offer Windows as a gaming OS to refine it for the small screen so that the windows, fonts, etc scale well. While one would think that having the whole of Windows OS a benefit it seems to just get in the way. Having a more dedicated gaming OS which is found on the likes of Steam Deck, Switch, or even the PS Vita while limiting just getting the primary job done better. Bummer that this wasn't the handheld to rule them all.

Great Price but caution needed
on December 16, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good, however a word of caution when using with the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI motherboard running the latest 703 firmware of this posting. When XMP is enabled the PC doesn't POST. Had to tweak the BIOS to finally get the PC to boot fully.

Any issues running two sets for a total of 64gb, with all four DIMM slots populated on AsusStrixZ790-E. Would this be stable with XMP profile enabled? Memory is on QVL list. Any one having issues with this Dual Channel on any Z790 or even Z690? Thanks!

Not sure about 64gb, but running 32gb on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI motherboard (DIMM A2|B2) seems buggy if the BIOS memory settings are other than Auto. The PC will not post if XMP is enabled at least for me it doesn't post. Hoping for a motherboard update past BIOS 703 will fix this issue.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Are the side shields for the Quest pro included with the purchase or are they an additional cost? Not sure what actually comes included with the $1,499.00 price tag. There is no txt with the picture of included items. can you list included items?

The light blockers are extra:

Unleash the power of the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen4 SSD for next-level computing. 980 PRO delivers 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0, while maintaining compatibility with PCIe 3.0.~ ~The NVM Express~ design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc.* Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.PS5 compatible with heatsink as recommended by Sony; heatsink sold separately.
 

how does this perform in an pci 3 environment compared to older SSD's like the HP Turbo Z g2 PCIE SSD? It not particularly fast. what are the specs when running on PCI 3? Many thanks, jon

I have an older system with a Z370 chipset with M.2 PCI-E 3.0 slots and see on avg. 3520 Read and 3300 Write with Random IOPS of 124500 Read and 85000 Write.

Store huge amount of data on your compatible phone or laptop with this SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSD card. It can store hours of video straight from your video camera or compatible mirrorless camera, or use it to transfer data from your computer to your tablet. A1-rated performance means this SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSD card is suited for loading apps quickly.
 

Will this work for The Nintendo Switch?

Yes, got this over the holidays and its working fine.
