I got this for my accounting class as it was the calculator recommended by the instructor. Not much to say other than it is well built, functions as it should, and I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Just okay

This fan is more suited to a desk area (smaller spaces). I don't think it has enough air flow at least for me.
I do like that you can orient it both standing up and on its side as it allows you to position it to better suit your needs. I've had several Vornado and they are well built, this one is no exception but it just doesn't have the air flow I would like.

It's an XBOX controller and it works great
on August 11, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've never really been a console gamer but decided to get an XBOX Series X. This controller works great, I mean it's from MS so it better. I do like the texture but for the price can't beat it.

Excellent monitor for Gaming BUT
on August 11, 2023
Posted by: nj50
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was blown away by this monitor, the colors, response time, contrast, and just the ease of use overall was second to none. I tried several games and was amazed each time. I have an OLED TV that I use with an XBOX One but playing PC games on OLED is just something else.
I still give it a perfect score but it's just not for me right now. I work from home and use the monitor I have now as a work monitor as well. Even with the 3 year warranty from Dell, it made me stress out about burn-ins as my work would mean static image on the screen for extended periods of time, Although the monitor comes with ways to prevent burn-ins it's still inevitable with OLED panels. Once I have a separate office and monitor, I will definitely consider getting it again solely for gaming.

Okay mouse but lacks quality control

Verified Purchase:Yes
The mouse was okay, but I ended up returning after I noticed that the frame of the mouse would creak. I looked around and read that it was a common problem with this model from the factory. More QC would need to be done specially from a brand like Corsair

Perfect mid-tier monitor!
on February 23, 2023
Posted by: nj50
Verified Purchase:Yes
By far one of the best monitors for the money. I was able to get it on sale for around $275, but even at it’s regular price, it’s still a great monitor.
The brightness is one of the things that stood out. I don’t use it in a very lit room but I did try it at it’s max brightness and had to turn it down immediately. As for the color, I was able to download a monitor profile for windows for this specific monitor to be calibrated correctly. Though it was accurate, I prefer my display to be more vivid.
The main reason I got this was for gaming. I using a 34in 144hz ultrawide (also 1440p) but learned that it was a little too distracting for my taste. This replaced that and it works way better for the games I play. There are tons of customizable things in the menu and it is fairly easy to navigate.

Almost perfect...but it's too hot
on September 20, 2022
Posted by: nj50
The G14 is definitely regarded as one of the best portable gaming laptops out there, It combines portability with performance. If you do not like the typical bulky or over the top designs of other gaming laptops, this might be for you!
Performance: It's a ryzen 8c/16t processor with an RTX 3060. Even though these are the mobile versions of these chips, they still pack a punch and will run any programs and games at respectable settings.
Battery Life: Charging via USB C when you don't need all the power is a blessing. However, when not running demanding applications, the battery life can last all day, which is perfect for college students.
Design: Tasteful and not over the top. I personally feel that it is very attractive although the white color may get stained/dirty depending on your use.
Keyboard and touchpad: I still think that having the gray print with the white backlight is not the right choice as the letters tend to be washed out and hard to see. This may not be a problem for some. Other than that the keyboard feels great to type on although I wish the touchpad was a bit larger but I guess this is a gaming laptop so the size makes sense!
I would've love to give this laptop a perfect 5 stars however, one major thing prevented me. It overheats...
I am not sure if it was just the unit I got, but playing BF V using the recommended settings, my CPU temps would reach the threshold and would start to throttle. I opened the laptop up, repasted (Asus uses liquid metal on the cpu but regular thermal paste on the gpu) but still got the same results.
I did find a work around though. If you play around on the power settings, you can set the CPU boost profile to balanced instead of max performance, Personally, I didn't notice a difference in performance but my temps went down to 75-82 range. It's just disappointing that I had to find a workaround for something that cost this much and for the workaround to underutilize the processor.

Versatile Budget Laptop
on September 20, 2022
Posted by: nj50
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Vivobook for my little brother to use in his highschool classes. Could have I purchased a more expensive laptop with better specs and more features? Yes. Of course, there's always better things out there.
However, for a high school kid that will probably break it in a year or two, for the price this is unbeatable.
I tend to go for Asus when I build desktop computers so I decided to try out their laptops. For a budget device, it was surprisingly durable and felt quality (for the price). I was able to get this for sale for under $300 and getting an "i" series cpu with 8gb of ram and an SSD is amazing to me.
I think anyone who is just looking to run light applications, emails, media consumption, and web surfing can benefit from this laptop. The only thing I am not sure about is Asus's support as I am accustomed to Dell's excellent customer service.

Perfect all around headphones for Apple users
on September 20, 2022
Posted by: nj50
With the 2nd generation of the Airpods Pro out, these are still a great pick up for those who have a tighter budget. Sure the new generation brings better creature comforts and improvements but the first generation was close to perfection in my opinion.
Sound Quality: Of course, this has to be important, they're earbuds... I am not an audiophile by any means but I can hear the difference between headphones/earbuds. I would say these are closer to the higher end but there are many others that sound way better for the price.
Comfort: What they lack in sound quality they make up for in comfort. Sticking in earbuds into my ear canal gives me migraines, however, I can barely feel the Airpods pro when wearing them. The fit of course will vary per ear shape/type/size. But for me, these are the most comfortable pair of earbuds I own.
Convenience: Having a Macbook pro, iPad pro, and iPhone 13 Max Pro, the airpods pro makes sense. Once it is connected to each of my devices, the connection is seamless when I decide to use any of them. The battery life also isn't bad, although I know the 2nd generation improved upon it.
In conclusion, if you are thinking about getting the 2nd generation airpods pro, you cannot go wrong as it only improves upon the original version. However, if you are on a budget, buying the previous generation is perfectly okay if you are fine missing the new additions/improvements that you may not even need.
