Nice PC for the money

Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased it for my Son for Christmas. It was on sale for roughly 15% off. I've built PC's in the past, but went prebuilt this time. It was nicely done and packaged.
Be careful getting the foam out that could possibly damage the graphics card. Once that is done connect all appropriate cables. It includes a wired keyboard and mouse.
It started on the first attempt. Went through the usual Windows install process without a hiccup. Ran updates of which there were a few and they didn't take long.
I'll say that is does have RGB lights, but they are nice looking. A fairly attractive build in general.
He's quite happy with it and that's what matters.

A competent product.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It came with my Eero system. It is a good product, but not great. They're always on sale, so never pay full-price. It is not meant for audiophile quality audio. More so local commands with some light listening. For what it is, it does well.

Just a great system.

I've been on Eero for years, had to wait for the official release of the Gen 1 products. Subsequently added a Gen 2 Pro with 2 beacons.
For a bit used a Ubiquiti Dream Machine, nice, but just not for me.
I'm now on 3 of the WiFi6 Pro models, one Gen 2 Pro and 2 beacons.
Eero continues to evolve. A good app with frequent updates. Free and paid tiers. I pay for Eero Secure, no need for the 3 programs that come with Secure +. It would be nice to have additional granularity with Secure, but Eero is more of a set and forget product, than one with ultimate control.
Some will have negative thoughts, but overall I've found it to be one of the most reliable tech products I've ever used. I connect mine with a combination of ethernet and wireless.
A big deal are the aesthetics. They still have to pass the test with my Wife and she doesn't complain. They blend in well.
If you're looking for Mesh, it's hard to go wrong with this product. Now with the ownership of Amazon, they have the capital to keep going.

great price on sale

I had few problems with them. They connected to Google Home without a hub that is required by other similar products. However, to do firmware updates you still have to connect via the GE app. At the sale price they were a no brainer.

This 43-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-43D420NA20 43" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.

So-so picture quality

A good price, with reasonable quality. In the end I wasn't a fan of the picture quality and returned it.

Not much to say. It's crazy how big drives have become over the years.
I had hoped to shuck this one to use in a desktop, but that didn't work Had to continue to use it as an external, but no big deal.

Once in a while I still need a DVD player/burner. This is very thin and light, no drivers are needed. It can get a bit noise, but not terribly.
A good value for the money.

Does the job, but a bit hard to install

It does the job, but somewhat hard to get the angles and mounting height just right. Had to dry fit before the TV went up. It does come with quite a few different screws and spacers for many possibilities.

The tablet standard
on October 23, 2020

We bought two. I am very heavy into Google and Android, but regrettably the only tablet worth having belongs to Apple. Easy to use, long lasting battery and the best app store. Their last iPad's outlasted the updates so had to upgrade. Try to catch them on sale if you can.

I am looking to save things from my DirectTV box (due to having to replace the box) onto my computer using a video capture Software. Will this work or is there something else that will work?
This could be quite difficult. I don't have a DTV box to test regrettably. By searching their forums I see a lot of no answers about transferring recordings. Some of the HDMI ports are in, some are out. Often the USB ports may be locked. Another issue is that a lot of HD content is digitally protected and even if transferred may expire. Short story, if you buy anything, buy locally so you can return if it doesn't work. I would contact DTV before I put a lot of time and money into it to see if it's even possible.
