I installed this SSD in an Asus Z170 board. It was immediately recognized and Windows 10 Home installed quickly and effortlessly. The SSD speeds approach that of the 970 Pro.

The keyboard seems well constructed. The keys are silent (no mechanical sound). The connector is USB and being wired one does not have to worry about having batteries on hand. It nicely matches the wired Insignia mouse.

The mouse has a nice contour and seems to be of good construction. It has your basic scroll wheel and optical tracking. The connector is USB and being wired one does not have to worry about having batteries on hand.

The bookshelf speakers have a nice imaging soundstage. However, to me the sound was not as clear/pure as that delivered by my Sonos Playbar. Given the outside finish, they have a slightly cheaper look than speakers with solid wood cabinets.

The finish is matte black. They are solidly made and easy to assemble, provided you follow the enclosed instructions. The box I purchased did not come with the Sonos One mount/s; however, I called the toll free number, immediately got to a representative who took my name and address, and said a pair of mounts for the One would ship the next day by FedEx free of charge.

The receiver has a nice clean look and nicely matches Sony's 4k Blue Ray player. The sound to me was lacking, however I have to say I only tested it with an analog input from my PC. I felt like at max power that the sound delivery was stressful on the power supply. In addition, with direct input the sound improved, however, with the analog connection it would cut off the audio to the connected sub. I think with the right setup it would be a nice starter or mid range unit.

The mouse has a nice feel if you like the degree of arch. It is well made and nicely matches the Modern Keyboard or my Surface Pro. The scrolling is sometimes not as smooth as I had hoped for (one area were Apple definitely has Microsoft and Logitech beat).

I have had no clogging issues using genuine HP ink with my HP printer. The XL cartridges are a better buy giving a larger yield of print looking at the print/cost ratio.

The speaker sound is very clear. It has a nice modern, contemporary look. I was able to add it to my Sonos network without issue. It is well made, and has some heft to it. The finish is semi-glossy.

The router and satellite work without issue keeping up with my Comcast download speed of 125 Mbps. I am covering 3000 square feet of space and at first I had a hard time pairing the satellite with the main unit at about 25 feet of separation. Therefore, I purchased an add on satellite and the three unit setup has worked without issue.

Dell - 21.5" LED HD Touch-Screen Monitor - Black
Easily navigate Web sites, menus and your media with this 21.5" Dell S2240T LED monitor, which features a 10-point multitouch display for simple operation. The 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution delivers striking high-definition visuals.
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.
