I got this computer because of Alienware's reputation for making tanks. However the build quality is not what it used to be. Sure its fast, but not so fast I can deal with less than 2 hours battery life. Also there is only one regular USB and one USB 3, NO SD card slot and the power cord plugs in the center of the rear panel. I was willing to pay more and deal with the huge, heavy frame, to get a solid laptop, however there are just too many negatives. Save your money. A lot of it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Logitech - Harmony Touch 15-Device Universal Remote
Control up to 15 devices in your home with this Logitech Harmony Touch 915-000198 universal remote, which features an intuitive color touch screen with customizable channel icons for simple control over your home entertainment components.
Worst Harmony I have ever used
Customer Rating
1.0
I bought this remote to replace a Harmony 880 that was getting old and the power button was broken. The design on this remote is so bad. There is no tilt sensor, so when you pick it up the back light doesn't turn on. So when you are using it in a dark room, you have to push a button first which in turn sends commands to your devices. The DVD controls are on top above the touch screen. So when you use them you hit the touch screen which sends commands to your devices. The IR emitter is so weak you have to point it directly at your device receivers almost comically or it won't register. Which then puts you in a half started command limbo where you have to use the troubleshooter. Also, the weak IR makes you have to hit the buttons twice most of the time.
When I set up the remote to control my theater with a Panasonic VT50 TV it wouldn't change the HDMI inputs with the one touch command. Customer service was worthless; making me go through all these menus on the TV, like it wasn't the remote's fault. I finally just lied to the remote and told it I had a VT30 to make it work.
I only use the remote for movies and Xbox which means I use the remote to turn it on, push play and then turn it off when I'm done. Every time I shut everything down I check the battery life on the remote to see if I have to plug it in. When it gets to about half life, the next day it will be 100% dead. I can't imagine how bad the battery life is if you use it to watch television where you are constantly changing the channel or using the fast forward button on your DVR.
I honestly don't understand how this remote gets such good reviews, because it's so bad. I guess if you have never used a universal remote before, this one seems like magic. However, I own three other Harmony remotes and I have set up 2 additional for family members. I can honestly say this is the worst one I have ever used.

What's great about it: fun multiplayer with only minor glitching.
What's not so great: I finished in it a week
Everyone who gave this game a 5/5 didn't finish it yet. Oh wait, they just did. Levels go by planets, and the beginning there is earth, moon, venus, and mars. Can't wait for more. NOPE. That's it. You don't get more. Thanks Bungie for selling me 1/3 of a game for $65. Oh, and I finished at level 18. Awesome.

What's great about it: your dishes have never been this clean
What's not so great: rack versatility
The door is a little stiff, the drawers aren't as smooth as some, and the packing versatility is not even close to lg. BUT you will forget all that when you behold the cleanliness of your dishes. Spotless. Zero film on glasses. Forget about pre-washing. I replaced a LG washer after only two years because we have well water and all the glasses were hazy. Well that's no problem for the Bosch.
Good thing there is a light on the floor to tell me it's on. Its super quiet.
This product is... Convenient for time-delay, Good for delicate dishes, So quiet I can't hear, Well-matched to my appliances, Useful settings or cycles, Able to deliver spotless dishes, Great at drying dishes
About me... Always get the deal, everyday user

What's great about it: Sturdy and nicely made
What's not so great: No power button for the fan
I needed a component rack and was disturbed by how much they cost until I found the omnirack. Removable sides, back and door with a built in fan. Nothing else compares for under $800. This is a great rack with a fantastic price. My only complaints are there is no power switch for the fan and its hard to move on carpet with small casters.

This is the second one I've had. The first one died in two years. I guess that's good life expectancy from anything computer related these days. Plug it in and load the drivers for all your blue tooth fun.

What's great about it: good quality
What's not so great: may be too awesome. It's expensive
This thing is awesome. Removable water basin, the ability to use different cups, iced tea, and best of all it has a rinse button. Every bad review I've seen about the Keurig this thing has addressed. And the lid is even made of metal instead of cheap plastic. Sweet.

Logitech - Harmony 650 8-Device Universal Remote - Silver
Control up to 8 devices using this Logitech Harmony 650 915-000159 universal remote that is compatible with more than 225,000 devices across more than 5,000 brands for wide-ranging use. One-touch activity buttons simplify option selection.
Does this work with an older Wii System?
We have a VCR, Blue-Ray, Apple TV, Roku, Wii and ATT Cable box and would want to be able to control all of these. Is this possible?
No. Wii actually works with Bluetooth technology and not IR or RF. You will still need to use the Wiimote to control the Wii.

Answers were mixed. Does this remote come with the Hub? If not, does it control devices thru walls?
I believe you need the Ultimate One with the RF control to use a HUB.

will this device control my cable box? i.e. DVR, and change channels.
Most cable boxes are able to be controlled by Harmony remotes. You just have to check the manufacturer of the cable box.
