A worthwhile upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
Coming from a 2020 Asus Zephyrus G14 (Ryzen 9 4800HS/RTX 2060) this was a MASSIVE jump in performance and I'm quite happy. The laptop is bigger than I was hoping to get but the 14" markup is a bit too much, plus the extra space means better cooling. Under heavy loads this laptop gets noticeably loud, but nothing a half decent pair of earbuds won't fix ;-)

Just what I needed

Posted by: TheTolsonator
Verified Purchase:Yes
This laptop has been a fantastic purchase from day one. A clean install of windows out of the box (cause forget the built in bloat) and some cleanup and tweaking. Games run very well at medium-high to high. Cyberpunk is pretty nice at medium settings and plays really well.
I can be slicing 3d models, working, playing games and the system doesn't break a sweat. Games however get this bad boy cooking. Loud fans but rock solid gameplay.

I never knew how badly I needed these things

A little frustrating to have to create another account and have another app, but once you get the bulbs set up, theres NO reason to ever install it again. Tie that down to Google/Siri and get rid of the app.
Fun to name the bulbs based off the location and go "HEY GOOGLE....COUCH 50%!"

Just the right amount of smart for the bedside
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: TheTolsonator
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tiny, configurable and perfectly adequate for the bedroom. My one and only complaint is the screen's texture. Something about it is sticky and it catches dust like crazy for some reason.
All the google features you want, could use some better layout management...From across the room the time and temp is perfect but the weather is indistinguishable.

Thanks to heroic, hat-shaped Cappy, Mario's got new moves that'll make you rethink his traditional run-and-jump gameplay - like cap jump, cap throw, and capture. Use captured cohorts such as enemies, objects, and animals to progress through the game and uncover loads of hidden collectibles.

Save the plastic, buy digital

Verified Purchase:Yes
Fantastic game, loads of stuff to collect and plenty challenging enough for a quick run through an area. Good laughs and set design on each planet along with costume changes that are purely cosmetic (unless you're unlocking further progress, but still.) Not recommended to play on a switch lite due to the joycon twirls being pretty useful but it can be done.

Ehhhh.

Roku is starting to lose my favor and is leading me to look at other platforms thanks to it's janky ecosystem and haunted remotes. At least once a week the remote will take a simple volume change and rewind the entire video I'm watching and silence or skyrocket the volume to deafening levels. New batteries, old batteries whonknows.
The Roku needs rebooted at least twice a week, more so if you're prone to leaving an app open when turning the tv off as it'll screw up the resultion and lock up. I've got the remote code for rebooting the device memorized now.
That being said, it's still my platform of choice, but as mentioned earlier I'm starting to look elsewhere for content delivery.

Lightweight, runs for days and charges pretty quickly. Has a lot of features I don't use but it's nice to know they're there. Not the greatest at tracking steps, but I can just do that myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keeps my desktop and media server up long enough in the event of an outage. Not the nicest looking battery backup I've ever seen but if it gets the job done then that's all that matters.

Beats the pants off of paying subscription fees to watch the show. Show quality is good and the extras are pretty cool too. Good size box containing all of the seasons without being overly bulky or sticking out like a sore thumb.

Overall great keyboard for the price
By mstats from Riverside, CA
Its a great keyboard for the price. The rgb are awesome and colorful. My only complaint is not with the product but the key switches. Sometimes ill press keys without noticing bc my hand is resting just a little too heavy on the keyboard. However that is just red switches .

If that's a frequent enough problem, a keyboard with Cherry Black or whatever brand equivalent is for you. Something with a heavier actuation is more your speed.
