Does it matter if you wait a few milliseconds?

I’m not in a specs race or a person that needs the absolute fastest storage solution. This is perfectly fine for gaming and other productivity needs. Small increments of speed from one nvme to the next is imperceptible to me since I can’t perceive fractional milliseconds. lol. It’s Samsung and all of their nvmes have great dependability, longevity, and good software to support the product. Only get caught up in the speed race if you’re processing giant files and moving large amounts of data around, which isn’t most of us. Price per Gb was great when I purchased and it’s been a huge upgrade for my desktop.

Great modem. Works perfectly fine with Comcast and is compatible with the newest standards. Have had no issues with it since purchase. It’s advisable to change the default sign in/log in credentials as an extra layer of security for your home network. Also, don’t let your cable company tell you that you’re able to download new firmware for the router from the manufacturer, that is strictly the cable company’s responsibility and something you CANNOT do yourself.

What’s to say about this cpu that hasn’t been said already? The king of bang for the buck gaming cpus. Can’t fault it at all for my needs. Great speeds, power, and tuneable with their software for peak performance. Hard to beat for the money! Look it up and see if it’s the right cpu for your build. People always overkill and never see the money they spend, this is Goldilocks, just right,

Awesome mid tier budget mobo.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Quite the decent MOBO! Has plenty of room to grow and lots of awesome features. The model I purchased does not have WiFi, I hard wire my network anyway. I’m not wanting or missing any features with this mobo. Great Asus design and quality for the price. Tons of RAM speed support. Watch for sales to get the best price. Always love buying from Best Buy instead of online because if there are issues with anything I can always swap in store instead of shipping. Also Best Buy reward points gets me free money from time to time. What’s not to love?

Old school tech for little money.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes it’s a platter drive but it’s 7200rpm for all those files you don’t care to load a little slower. It’s hard to beat for the $ to GB. SSDs do drop in price from time to time, but for my money I’d rather trust this old school tech than a subpar/budget SSD anyday.

Dependable brand with a great price. Fully modular. Easy to work with. I like the distance between all the different ports over other brands. Goes on sale from time to time and was able to beat most retailers prices and you also get rewards points from Best Buy, so win win! Easy to return in store instead of through the mail as well in case you have issues. Plenty of extra juice for my current build, if I upgrade my GPU SOMETIME LATE NEXT YEAR (LOL) I’ll definitely buy another Corsair PSU.

A lot of fun even though the writing isn't great.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It is unfortunate that they lost the one writer that really made the series what it was. They tried, hard. Voice acting is still good considering the content that they had. Jokes get groans and some of the characters can be just plain annoying over time. Like most sequels all the magic has been squeezed out of this series. The best were BL 2 and The Pre-Sequel. The dlc for The Pre-Sequel is some of my favorite content put out for this series. If you love guns, grinding, looting, and over the top everything this may fit the bill, especially if it's on sale. Lots of fun to be had regardless.

Classic movie. Amazing soundtrack. Great dialogue.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie that shot Quentin into the stratosphere. What a great movie, nostalgia galore for me when I watch this. Great dialogue, a crazy weaving of tales, and a world that seems so familiar and yet surreal. Quentin's version of the "idea of Southern California/LA" is really quite unique. Amazing soundtrack, tons of cussing, and an awesome cast of characters played by fantastic actors. It brought John Travolta back into the limelight as well before he got weird on Scientology. Great movie! Did I mention it's great? A classic movie made by a film nerd for fans of classic movies freaked in a 90s lens.

Was great, now a bit frustrating.
on January 21, 2021
Posted by: NotImpressed
Verified Purchase:Yes
The good: Streaming app selection. Picture quality. Price. Interface and menu system. Low weight for wall mounting. Decent speakers for a budget tv.
The bad: Just after a year wifi disconnects and won't reconnect unless the tv is unplugged for a time and plugged back in. Occasionally requesting wifi to reconnect in the menu works as well. Sometimes sound does not output with cable input or streaming apps and the tv needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to restore sound. The sound issue is definitely not software related or a result of issues with video sources or device volume settings. I suspect it's a hardware issue for both the wifi and audio issue. Tv has been on daily for up to 4 hours a day for just over 12 months.
Overall a great little tv with a good picture and price, but the sound and wifi issues make this tv a cautionary purchase. You may not have any issues at all, but you may also have the sound issue or the wifi issue, or in my case both. Perhaps purchase a higher series tv from TCL or another brand. If you like the price and size of this tv at least get an extended warranty in case it starts failing after a year.

The odd get even in this outrageously funny comedy classic that comes to Blu-ray for the first time. When a group of socially challenged misfits at Adams College decides to start their own fraternity, the campus nerds soon find themselves in a battle royale with the bullying jocks of Alpha Beta. But in this hilarious game of brains vs. Brawn, the nerds devise the perfect plan to gain the upper hand and win the day.

Classic '80s comedy with some rough edges

Posted by: NotImpressed
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great movie and lots of fun. This may not be the most appropriate film for several reasons, but overall there's a great message in the character's story. It's definitely of it's time as it pretexts the dawn of "nerd" culture, computers, and their emergence in mainstream culture. The outcasts of "normal" society band together to fight for acceptance, empathy, and love against mean spirited bullies that can't accept people that are different from them. Classic college antics including nudity, drinking, hazing, and physical violence. If you overlook some of the characterizations, dialogue, and one particular event there's a great message and some laughs.

Is this compatible with a 2015 MacBook Pro?

No, not internally. Apple has their own connector for internal storage and it wouldn’t be advisable to replace it unless it has failed. You can purchase an NVME enclosure to turn it into an external/portable storage solution though, but you won’t see the fastest speed the drive is capable of. It will still be very fast though and extremely light.

I need to upgrade the storage in my Asus Q350 Oled laptop, is this ssd compatable

Have you checked the Asus Website for expandable storage compatibility? The specifications page should tell you if you can use it. You may need a NVME carriage adapter to use it in place of a traditional form Factory hard drive/ssd. A quick google search should show how to install a NVME in your laptop and possibly discuss compatible storage.
