What's great about it: cleans everything we throw at it, hidden controls, super quiet
What's not so great: plastics are harder to dry, long cycle times
Every dishwasher we've had in the past has been the "builder's special" model. All of these were noisy, did a poor job of washing dishes, and with heating elements we had to be careful of what we put in the dishwasher. We got into the habit of hand washing most of our dishes but after having two kids the daily dish duty started to take 1-2 hours and we began to look for another solution.
Enter the Bosch 500 series. We now throw everything in here (except our nice pots and pans) and so far it has cleaned everything spotlessly. I have never been so impressed with a dishwasher. We use the recommended Finish tabs and rinsing agent and either the Normal or Auto cycle.
The reason we chose this model was for the third mini-rack, and it was well worth the extra money. With young kids we put all of our small bottle and kiddie cup parts in the top rack. It's ingenious! The other thing I really like is the silverware holder. It is designed so that each individual piece can be separated so that they both get cleaned and not come in contact with each other. Had we had this dishwasher when we got married our silverware might still look new!
Like other reviewers had mentioned this model is super quiet; you will only hear it if you trying to. We couldn't watch TV with our older dishwasher running.
The only downsides I can offer are plastics do not come out completely dry and the cycle time for a normal or auto wash is a little over 2 hours.
Installation: I installed this myself and it was super simple. It does come with the new hot water and drain line so you do not need a kit. If you have the option to use a power receptacle make sure you get the Bosch 3-Prong power cord (Model #SMZPC002UC). It's about $15.
This product is... Convenient for time-delay, Great for pots & pans, Acceptable level of noise, So quiet I can?'t hear, Well-matched to my appliances, Easy to load adjustable racks, Able to deliver spotless dishes
About me... Always get the deal, small family
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Perfect screen size and form factor, Decent battery life
What's not so great: Priced too high, dull screen with warm colors, shallow sound, poor wifi performance, poor UI
I really wanted to like this tablet. But at the end of the day, I found that it has some issues and I think it's priced about $100 too high.
The #1 issue with this tablet is the screen quality...perfect size and a good resolution but the screen is very dim and displays colors too warm. Reading a book on Kindle your pages will be either a dull gray or a dingy yellow--depending on the brightness. You can't get the pad to be bright enough, not sure if LG limited that to save on battery or what.
The LG version of Android is one of those cases where it would have been good to just leave Android mostly alone--like the Nexus 7. There are a few decent features like QPair and Knock On, but overall the LG skin is an ugly disappointment.
Wifi performance was not good for me. Tablet worked ok in my house, would sometimes drop connection. However, in hotel rooms it could not keep a connection at all while my phone and laptop had no problem and showed very good signals.
Finally, the thing that made me return the tablet was the way it was built. I didn't like the smooth metal back (very slippery to hold) and the sides of the tablet were not flat, but angled in such a way that it felt like it was "biting" into my fingers after only about 10 minutes of single handed operation. The metal back also means it is guaranteed to slide off of anything you place it on. However, this may not be an issue if you put a case on it. I don't like the extra bulk a case adds to the thickness of my tablets.
Bottom line is it's an average tablet and should be priced closer to the Nexus 7. Otherwise the Samsung PRO 8.4 is a much better tablet for only $50 more.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, Easy to navigate, Great screen size

What's great about it: Fantastic Screen Quality, Super Fast, New TouchWiz is actually good, easy to hold in one hand
What's not so great: There are cheaper options -- Nexus 7, G Pad 8.3, but none quite as good.
In my opinion, this tablet is the best you can buy in the 8-9" class. The screen is simply stunning. At 2560 x 1600 we're talking more resolution than competing products that ah hem...stick the word "retina" in their product name. The screen is bright and vibrant.
I went through a Nexus 7 (2013) and G Pad 8.3 before deciding this is the tablet for me. The Nexus is way too small for anything other than reading e-books, and the G Pad was disappointing with its dull screen, shallow sound, and poor ergonomics.
The 8.4 fits great in my hand and actually feels really light. I think the new TouchWiz is actually an improvement for once and it is very fast. I haven't noticed any lag within the first few hours of using it.
If I had to knock it for anything, it be price and the lack of 32gb version. SD card slot makes up for the latter somewhat, but still...anything with the word PRO in the name should at least offer 32gb of storage.
Also, at the time, purchasing this tablet gives you some perks such as Google Play credit and 50GB of Dropbox storage, which is a thumbs up from me!
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold

Is it possible to add a Blue-ray or optical player and if so would it be accessible from the front? Doesn't appear to have an opening in the front

Correct, not on the front. The front has vertical spots for hard disks. You would need to use a USB external Bluray drive.

This might be a dumb question, but will the 2080 be able to use g-sync? I don’t see it on Nvidia’s list of supported cards. (https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync/supported-gpus) Would I need to run v-sync as well? Thanks.

Yes, it supports G-Sync.

Reference: I have this computer and my monitor is G-Sync.
