Fill your room with big and balanced sound with this Logitech Z313 980-000382 3-piece speaker system featuring a 4" subwoofer and a control pod to easily adjust the volume and headphone controls.
Excellent quality, even better price
Customer Rating
5.0
I purchased these for my gaming desktop, and I was so surprised how great these are, especially given the price point. Provides a satisfying level of bass, and enough volume to full up a small to medium sized room. During online shooters, helps to identify which way the enemies are coming from.

A mysterious and unstoppable force threatens the galaxy, the Master Chief is missing and his loyalty questioned. Experience the most dramatic Halo story to date in a 4-player cooperative epic that spans three worlds. Challenge friends and rivals in new multiplayer modes: Warzone, massive 24-player battles, and Arena, pure 4-vs-4 competitive combat.**Online multiplayer features require Xbox Live Gold membership (sold separately).
Great Multiplayer, Solid Campaign
Customer Rating
4.0
First off, if you've played Master Chief Collection or any of the original Halo releases, then you already know the multiplayer is going to be great. This is more of the same with new modes and a few key new modes. The highlight is Warzone, which has two teams pitting against each other (as usual), but incorporates some AI drones, as well as various objectives that teams have to fight over for additional points. I love this mode for the variety it brings to the franchise.
Now onto the single player campaign. I finished it in about 8-10 hours on Heroic difficulty, and never really got stuck on any section. So for those wanting a true challenge, be sure to ramp it up to Legendary. In terms of story, it is not as compelling as the trailers and commercials made it out to be. I won't say more so that I don't spoil it for anybody. And the ending certainly leaves you wanting more, which is obviously just a setup for the inevitable Halo 6. The mission layouts are solid but not great, but have many more avenues to explore than in previous titles, something that smartly incorporates the 4-player co-op..
If you are coming just for the story, I would say just rent it due to the short length. But if you're like most and are coming for the multiplayer, then I highly recommend it.

7-Outlet Surge Protector
Keep the equipment in your home or office safe with this Insignia™ NS-PWS5079 7-outlet surge protector that features a 2100-joule rating for reliable protection. The 6' power cord enables versatile placement.
Great at what it does
Customer Rating

I needed an additional outlet for my laptop and monitor, and decided to go for this as it was a decent price. As stated above, it does what it intends to do, supplying power to my electronics while providing protection against unexpected surges. It even has a feature where you can, for example, connect your computer to a master slot that controls the remainder of the slots. So when my laptop is in sleep mode or turned off, my monitor will automatically turn off to conserve power.

Essential Accessory for the Surface Pro 3
Customer Rating

This docking station really adds a level of productivity to the Surface Pro 3 that is really needed to take it beyond the realm of tablets into true laptop replacements. It comes with a Mini DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, an ethernet cable port, and an audio jack for headphones. Although it's a little pricey, I would definitely recommend this to those who use their SP3 for work.

I'm sure this product does what it intends to: it offers two USB ports in a compact design. But (and again, this may be my fault for not reading the box), the cord is REALLY short. I purchased this to use with my Surface Pro 3, and it's not even long enough to reach the table. Otherwise, it's pretty useful.

There's really nothing special about this mouse pad. The grip on the back is sufficient to prevent it from moving during use. The front is just a standard surface. I did notice it does tend to trap dirt/dust rather easily.

I purchased these headphones about a month ago. I don't use them all the time, but just needed something for my late night Xbox One sessions, so I'm not waking up my girlfriend; so I didn't need the top of the line version.
Pros:
- Just the right price: I got these on sale for $70. Given that price point, this is a very solid product.
- Sturdy materials don't feel cheap, and are a good fit for most (although some have said they fit a little tight)
- Good (not great sound): these do a good job of imitating surround sound. Although I felt like the bass level was a little low for my tastes. But again, for the price, the sound is great. If you want the ultimate in sound, you're probably going to have to pay much more to get it.
- Easy to set up: you simply plug the provided USB cable into your controller and into your system, and you will be prompted to install an update for your controller. After that, you simply need to plug the headphones into your controller, and you're ready to go.

Cons:
- Battery life: because these plug directly into your controller, the battery life on your controllers (assuming you use the wireless) is DRASTICALLY reduced. I would say anywhere between 25-40% less compared to not having the headphones plugged in.
- Weird glitches when plugging/unplugging while the system is already on: I've had a few occassions where, if I plug in/unplug the headphones while the system is already on, as opposed to having them plugged in when the system boots up, the controller seems to stop working and I have to do a hard reset on my system. This may be an isolated issue with my set, but I've had it happen three times now.
- Sound: although good for the price point, as noted above, the bass and overall sound levels are a little low. So if you're looking for something that blows your ear-drums out, this is not the set for you.

Great replacement or secondary power adapter
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Universal fit, easy to find right connector for your computer
What's not so great: Nothing
I needed a replacement power cord for my Toshiba Satellite laptop after my factory one got a short in it. Chose this one as it was cheaper than the others and I was using the company credit card. It comes with 8 different connectors to fit different computer types, but it literally took less than a minute to find the right one. Once I did, it fit perfectly into my computer, and I was able to continue working without missing a beat.
All in all, good quality, inexpensive, and easy to set up. Good for either a replacement power adapter or as a secondary one to keep at the office, for travel, etc.
