Overpriced and of questionable use
on November 23, 2023
Posted by: RonR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not worth the cost, only useful if you really want to just carry the Ally. You can't put any other accessories in the case, such as the power cord or the plug and you can completely forget about putting the lame (although more useful included cardboard stand) in here. Using the fold out stand blocks the air intakes on the bottom of the Ally. Asus could have put some webbing on the outside if they wanted to keep this tight inside.
TLDR: Buy something else if you want to put more than just the handheld in here.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my 3rd MX Mechanical, I have 2 full size - one for my home office, one for my work and a mini that I use for travel. I really appreciate the multi-device capability as it allows me to switch between my work laptop (Win11), MacBook Air and Mac Studio easily. Typing on a mechanical keyboard just has a lot more feel to it and Logitech provides options here as well.

Zombie smashing fun!

Haven't finished the main story yet but it certainly is fun. Weapons seem a bit fragile, especially at the start, but that may just be to promote you using more variety. Story is engaging enough to keep me coming back. I enjoy tracking down some of the side quests.

Better than DualSense on Par with Elite Series 2
on May 27, 2023
Posted by: RonR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much finer control of actions. Battery life is consistent with the standard controller. I have the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and this is on par with it. Both are priced a bit above what I think makes sense for what they offer, but this is what the market will pay.

Great gaming & movies, mediocre productivity
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: RonR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased on sale to use as a computer monitor setup is 85% focused on office productivity. I would not recommend this setup for the following reasons:
1) The screen brightness dims over time and then flares up when you move something. Very distracting
2) Pixel shift causes slight variations in how much of your desktop is visible, cutting off either the top or bottom of the screen depending on where it is in the cycle. Yes you can turn this off, but I would be LG won't honor a warranty for screen burn if you do.
3) Text displayed is just slightly blurred.

When using this for gaming or watching movies, the color reproduction is amazing, black levels are perfect and refresh is great. Too bad it's only about 15% of what I was hoping to use this for.

Who says you need a big box for big bass? The Bose Bass Module 500 will take your music, movies, and more to the next level. Its rich, thunderous bass in a compact, 10-inch cube makes it easy to hide and even easier to hear. Wireless connectivity allows you to place the Bose Bass Module 500 nearly anywhere. Leave it next to the TV or put it under your entertainment center - the choice is yours.

Good for a small room
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: RonR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Expensive for what it is, most of the soundbars I have purchased in the past have included the sub but they were also more expensive in general so I guess that's a wash. This does have some punch so I would say it was worth adding to the Bose 600.
Beware when setting it up, you'll need to have it pretty close to the soundbar to sync them. I was unable to do this across the room (about 12') after multiple attempts I put them right next to each other and it worked. Then I put it where I wanted it originally.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2~ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it~s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you~ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you~re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

Works as a PC speaker

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this as a PC/Mac speaker in my work from home setup. It is connected to my monitor via 3.5mm audio so I can use it for any of the 3 computers connected. Haven't had any problems with it so far. It's smaller than my bookshelf speakers and I was looking to limit desk clutter.

Definitely worth it.

Won't own a console if I can't get a charging station for the controllers. It's just too much of a hassle to keep track of the cables and remember to plug them in. This is so much simpler, just drop it on the dock and it's charging.

Overpriced but still purchased

Price is a bit high but they know they'll get it with the PS5 badge. Probably better off buying the one without a heatsink and finding one on Amazon if you can do the install.

Has anyone had tried this lens for astrophotography? Any successes?
It would be ok to take pictures of the moon, but you won't use it for something like the milky way. Astrophotography is typically done with a wider angle lens (35mm or less) and something like a 1.4 or 2.8 max aperture would be better. You might pull off other large celestial objects, Venus when it was closer, but even 800mm isn't going to fill the frame so you'll need to crop quite a bit in post. This isn't going to be like shooting through a telescope if that's what you're after.
