Builds mesh network and covers house well. Integrated easily with existing OnHub router, and setup was as easy as possible using Google WiFi app on Android. Haven't really measured throughput, but it does not disappoint. If your house isn't covered well by a single WiFi access point, 2 or 3 of these is a good solution.

Works for both XBox One headsets and XBox One controllers; my daughter even tried running the PC version of Overwatch with the XBox One controller, but the command button defaults were different and it would probably take a while to make it just like the XBox version.

Good, fast machine. Be prepared to spend a day updating the software and drivers; I needed to get the latest video driver straight from nVidia before the video worked right. Also, I was disappointed that the CPU is liquid cooled but not the video card; if you're gaming heavy, the video card runs hot. Also, not that fond of the bright red LEDs everywhere; unlike the Omen X, the LEDs on this Omen are not adjustable. I'll probably just unplug some of them. Some people have complained about the fan being too noisy in older reviews, my box doesn't appear to have that problem, and it works great for VR with an Oculus Rift, including mirroring to both VR goggles and 4K TV at the same time.

Bought this to replace my daughters previous Fre case. It seems to do a good job of protecting the phone from drops and water, but these cases seem to wear out quick.

I haven't had any problems with it, I have 3, and they work together fine, i.e. tries to execute commands on the one closest to the person speaking and can control volume on one unit from another one. No failures so far. Only con is occasionally getting "I don't know how to do that!" response from some questions.

Not really a usable replacement for the Samsung remote my daughter broke, because it doesn't have a "Return" button to go back. Also difficult to program.

If I purchase the 3-pack of google wifi, do I need a modem for each device (3 total) or just one?

No, only one node in the mesh needs to be connected (via Ethernet cable) to a cable modem. Each node 2 Ethernet ports, one to connect to modem and one to connect to other Ethernet devices.

Does a wireless adapter come with the xbox s bundle? do you have to buy one for each controller or 1 for all controllers?

The XBox One S has a built-in wireless adapter, you only need this to connect Xbox wireless controllers/headsets to a PC. Only one adapter is necessary to support multiple controllers/headsets. Of course, most PC games are better with a gaming mouse than an XBox controller; I only bought this to be able to use my $100 XBox headset with the PC.

can it run 3 monitors (hdmi tv)

3 Display Port outputs and 1 HDMI output. You can run multiple monitors, but you might need a Display Port to HDMI converter; the one I am using to drive my 4K TV works fine, except I don't think I'm getting High Dynamic Range over the HDMI (that might be an HDMI bandwidth issue).

Question was asked liquid or air. someone answered air but the Special features: liquid cooling; built-in wireless networking; Bluetooth; HDMI output; keyboard and mouse. so false advertisement or incorrect answer?

The CPU is liquid cooled. The GTX 1080 Ti GPU appears to be air cooled, which is a shame, because a liquid cooled version would be about the same price and could have used the same cooler as the CPU.

 SanDisk - Pixtor 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card
SanDisk - Pixtor 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card
This 32GB SanDisk Pixtor microSDHC memory card has been tested to withstand extreme operating conditions, such as temperatures between -13° and 185°, shocks up to 500Gs and water up to 1m deep, to enable use in a variety of harsh environments.
 

Class 6 or 10

my camera is asking for a 32 gb class 6 micro card. can I use a class 10 ?
Yes. Class 10 is a higher speed rating, but it is backwards compatible. You just won't get the read/write times advertised for the class 10 product, you'll get the slower class 6 bandwidth instead.

In general, I buy the highest speed flash cards available, on the theory that I'll have the card a lot longer than the device, and I don't want to have to buy a new card when I buy a new device.
