The fan has 8 settings the first three of which are quiet. The fan has a clean modern look and was easy to assemble. It nicely matches other Honeywell products. I have a Dyson fan/air purifier for comparison. At max speed the Dyson produces more air flow; however, it is a little louder.

For a 100 W subwoofer the bass is loud and tight, in my medium sized tv/media room. The subwoofer is well constructed and nicely matches the other speakers in this Signature line. It has a modern clean look. It is on the larger size, especially if you compare to like a Sonos Sub or some of the other smaller subs on the market so keep this in mind when considering placement.

This is a 1080p LED based television. It's design gives it a light floating look. The upscaling of cable content less than HD is good/descent. Colors are vibrant. Detail is good as well as the built in sound. The TV is lightweight.

The shade of blue of this mouse pad nicely compliments a modern décor. The surface is fabric based and offers smooth consistent tracking. The backing feels rubber based and on a glass desk top the pad stays in place with no sliding. I have had no fraying of the edges despite daily usage.

The cooler is constructed solidly. It was easy to install on an ASUS Z170 Maximus board and the 6700k cpu is kept cool. It has a single 120 mm fan. One could, if desired add another fan for further cooling on the opposite side of the radiator.

I have found Windows 10 Home and Pro to be overall stable. They have a nice interface. Windows 10 Home OS is stored on a USB drive. To install from USB be sure you understand how to boot your system for USB based installation. The installation was much faster than installing from Disk.

will touch functions work on a mac

Can I use this as a touch monitor on a mac running OSX 10.8.3 without a driver? If it requires a driver, is that awful touch-base driver?
Only as a monitor but not for touch capability. Touch requires not only a touch capable monitor but also an operating system that supports touch and currently Mac OS X does not.

Will the touch feature work with a NVR?

The monitor can be used to connect with an NVR for viewing if your NVR has HDMI output. However, touch capability not only requires a touch capable monitor but an operating system that supports touch. I doubt of the system in an NVR supports touch, but you can check with the manufacturer, etc.

VESA Mounts?

Dont suppose there are VESA mount holes hidden under that bracket plate on the back are there?
The monitor can be mounted using a standard VESA mount. I cant remember if it is 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm.
