Let me start by saying there are a lot of things I like about this headset. It's comfortable, and the options for changing where the headphones sit works. I like the rubbery band on the top, so you're not setting the metal band directly on your head. The mic up to mute is a nice touch as well.
I do appreciate the fact that I can use these on other devices due to the 3.5MM jack.
The issues come in actual use on an XBox One. Using a RIG wired controller, I had more issues than I expected with connecting to voice chat. The microphone worked well did it did work however. I also had to get into the settings on the Xbox itself and crank the volume to 75% before I could hear anything that the volume control on the cord started adjusting. You're unlikely to blow your ears out due to volume with these. I also enabled Dolby Atmos and didn't hear much of a difference - maybe that was the games I was playing?

I don't have much to say negative or positive about this controller. It seems nicer for smaller hands, but I also don't think it feels appreciably more 'grippy' than a standard Xbox controller. Buttons are larger, but they almost feel chunky and aren't rounded. The cord is nice and long, but with that length comes weight. I don't understand why no one has the cord come out of the back or at least closer to the bottom, so the front of the controller doesn't have that pull. No batteries but isn't that the case for any wired controller? The standard 3.5MM jack for a headset is nice, but on the XBox one I couldn't tell much of a difference with Atmos enabled (maybe I wasn't playing the right games?). I also had issues with the headset (another RIG) being picked up for voice chat at times, which was something I thought would happen less with a completely wired setup.
The thumbs sticks work well. It's got a capture button. So there's that.

Hooked this drive up to my XBox One. Had to use the bottom most USB connection on the back (instructions only show the connection for the newest XBox console). The XBox rebooted and let me know the drive had to be formatted, which took under a minute. After that, my XBox essentially has what I consider 'unlimited' space. I was constantly pushing my space limits on the out of the box drive, which is a real issue since nearly everything nowadays either runs from the harddrive even when you own the disc, or it's digital. I jumped into Game Pass Ultimate and downloaded everything I even considered playing - still PLENTY of room to spare.
I even moved some locally installed games over. It feels to me like they actually load faster from the new drive.
The drive is small, and looks nice (for what it is). No detectable noise. No extra power cord.
I love everything about this. I wish I had one years ago.
The only downside was the the Game Pass 1 month trial does not work for those with an existing account. I think that's a MS issue and not WD however.

Games tested:
Maneater
Slay the Spire
Subnautica (topped out settings)
Crysis 3 (topped out settings)
This machine handled everything I could throw at it, without so much as a frame rate hiccup. That was at the OOTB settings in Predator Sense! However, when playing more graphic intensive games, you will notice some definite heat coming off the keyboard. If you happen to be using the keyboard at the time, it's not really the most pleasant experience.
Display: The display clarity is phenomenal, I just wish it were larger. It's not terrible for gaming, it's actually a bigger pain for things outside gaming such as dealing with Gaming apps like Game Pass, Steam, etc, or just browsing in general. I ended up going to 80% zoom in browsers so I felt like I could see everything. Along the same lines you won't be able to crank your resolution settings in games beyond 1920x1080.
There is an HDMI connection for an external monitor, which at this point I would consider standard on any laptop. I wish there was a Display port, as I believe that allows for better performance to an external monitor (the internal one boasts 144Hz but I don't think that's technically possible over HDMI).
Keyboard: The keyboard works fairly well for gaming, though most purists will likely use an external one anyway. If you will be using it for gaming, I suggest disabling the touch pad otherwise you will inadvertently cause it to trigger (I don't know of a way to do this only while a specific app is running).
Power: There is a sticker that claims 'long battery life' right on the unit. I think our definitions of 'long' may be different, as you MAY get 3 hrs out of a single charge while gaming. I'd definitely plug this thing in while gaming if possible.
Sound: Sound is serviceable. You'll likely be using a headset if your gaming with friends anyway, so it's kind of a moot point. There is 3.5mm jack, but see below if you need to use USB.
Portability: Machine is small, but on the heavy side. Comes with a nice carrying case for surface protection, but won't help if you drop it.
Accessory connections: The unit comes with 2 USB ports. If you need more connections beyond a wired keyboard and mouse, you'll need a HUB of some sort. You can go wireless, but depending on how you are about your gaming gear, you may not consider that an option.
OS: Standard Windows 10 fare. The only issue I had was that the default Power settings the system hard-locked on me when it self powered down while on battery. I ended up turning that off just to avoid the potential problem. Anyone who has owned a laptop should be familiar with these settings already, and probably already has their preference for how it's setup.
Other: Norton A/V installed, and as anyone who has had the joy of using it, knows that if you can uninstall it your life will be better (omg the pop-ups!).
Predator sense and branding are both cool. The app let's you control a bunch of settings, including things like lighting, overclocking related, game enhancements, etc. FYI, you only have the option of turning off the boot sound AND the splash screen here (not one or the other). I'd actually like to leave the boot screen, just kill the sound (it is very loud, and not tied to your Windows sound levels as far as I can tell).

My intended use for this was to help with the air quality in the basement, where one cat decided anywhere could be a litter box, as well as trying to improve air circulation.
I was surprised that when I plugged the unit in the air was already 100% clean. I guess I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but that wasn't it. The gist is, I don't think the unit will necessarily represent odors as part of that calculation - instead mainly particulates. This being the case and having a large basement, I've set mine to basically run continuously at 100%, and though not reflected on the unit, I think it's helped in the regard to odor in the basement. I would say that if you tend to keep your windows open and are victim to pollen/dust from outside, you should seriously consider this unit.
That said, you will notice a difference in the noise level the 6 fans will put out at 100% versus the other settings by a measurably degree. In general, for the size of the unit etc, it's not really 'noisy' and in my case due to the location it really doesn't matter.
The unit is easy to use, either via the buttons on top or the remote, with a clear display telling you what the current settings are.
In general one would say the unit is large, but it's actual footprint isn't too bad. You do want to make sure there's room for circulation to occur however, so that foot print should include some space around the unit. The unit is pretty tall (and substantial), so if you have small children that are prone to pulling such things over, you may want to avoid.

Shark - EZ Robot Vacuum RV912S with Self-Empty Base, Bagless, Wi-Fi - Dark Grey
The Shark EZ Robot is your easy path to a smart clean. It combines the convenience of a self-empty base with powerful Shark suction for a complete home clean. After each cleaning session, your robot automatically empties itself into the bagless self-empty base, which holds multiple sessions’ worth of dirt and debris so you can forget about vacuuming for weeks. Now that’s easy.

This is my first robot vacuum, and after some initial confusion, I love it.
The biggest issue I had in setup was ensuring I got all of the numerous stickers off everything. Once that was done, setting up the vacuum and the app went flawlessly. I was even able to name it!
I didn't understand what was going on initially, as it felt like the vacuum was in a constant state of probing. Part of the issue was that for various reasons we had to send Bullet (our bot's name) back to the Dock. Once when doing so via the app he refused to return, but using the button on the vacuum worked without issue. Once allowed to map everything out, Bullet started following the schedule I setup.
In my case, 800+ sq ft of hardwood. It takes about 5 hrs for us, due to the need for Bullet to return to the dock for a charge during the cleaning cycle.
Bullet has done a great job of keeping the floor generally clean, especially with multiple cats and kids. We've stopped doing it more then MAYBE once a week manually since he started.
Emptying the dock is easy. Using the app is easy.
Just make sure you have cords tucked away as best you can, and in general just keep 'stuff' off the floor (pairs of shoes, clothes, whatever). Climbing over rugs without issue.

This review is specific to gaming PC use (Dell XPS).
There is a lot to like about this headset. The RGB options, set via the iCUE software, are great looking without being obnoxious or distracting. You also use the iCUE software to control other aspects, such as the EQ (with numerous options) as long as you're not using Atmos or Windows Spatial. In regard to Atmos, the app download is free and though I haven't been able to play a game that supports it, the app itself has some demos that show just how awesome the directional sound is in these.
Games sound great, with all the clarity you could want. Friends noted that I sounded better over Discord with the detachable (and RGB) mic.
Button placement is easy to get to and use. A scroll wheel for volume and a mute button at the mic base. I was able to use the headset both wired and wireless, using the switch on the headset itself. The only downside is using two USB slots for that convenience. When wireless, there was no appreciable different in sound quality or anything. I haven't had the unit long enough to have battery issues (I tend to ensure my stuff is charged anyway), but you'll go hours without a cable easy.
I have a pretty big head, and these headphones are comfortable completely extended. The only thing, and this isn't an issue unique to this set, is I wish the bar on the top was wider - unless you find the right place for the set to sit on your head it can feel like it's driving into your head after a couple hours.
All of this, all the cables you could need, and a very nice fabric carrying case, make this an admittedly expensive but great pair of headphones.
Note - ensure you are running the latest version of the iCUE software BEFORE hooking up the headset.

Initially this unit had wifi issues about 3 days in after performing as expected up until that point. After a system restore, Dell SupportAssist updates, and Windows updates - the wifi issue was resolved and the unit has been fine since. I should note that I had to use a USB to Ethernet adapter to get online up until that point. I suggest immediately running SupportAssist and then Windows updates when you get the unit home.
Overall, this is a pretty solid choice if you're looking to buy a laptop. It's light and thin, and can easily fit in a backpack or bag. The screen is very wide, with only a small border. Graphics are crisp; the only thing is that some smaller text or icons become a little bit pixelated/blurry. The keyboard has a nice feel, and there are three settings for the built-in lights underneath the keys, off, medium, and bright. The only thing that I noticed was the right arrow key feels loose, though there wasn't anything I could do to fix it. The touchpad provides a nice, smooth feel, and it's very easy to use and drag tabs/etc since it has a nice click, compared to other laptops that don't really have a click that makes it easily accessible for you to drag things across the screen. The fingerprint reader at the top right side of the keyboard that also acts as the power button works fairly well. Sometimes I did have to press my finger up and down on it a few times for it to recognize my fingerprint.
It is very easy to connect bluetooth devices such as mice, headphones, earbuds, etc. The volume on this laptop is also really good, it does seem to come more from the back of the laptop though, so I found myself having to turn up my volume a bit more than usual. It does provide good, clear sound however. The brightness options are pretty standard, but the night-light option is a really nice feature. I did find myself wishing it could go a little darker, but it also was really good at being super bright if need be.
The battery on this laptop is 10/10. I charged it fully, and it lasted about 10 hours after that. Throughout those ten hours I had done some work where I needed to access many Chrome tabs at once for about 4 hours, then for the last 6 hours I just had it on in the background playing music or Netflix.
This laptop also does not overheat or have super loud fans, which I loved. This allowed me to have it on places besides my desk without it sounding like an airplane, and burning my legs from overheating. The camera and mic on this laptop also work very well. I was told that my microphone sounded really clean and crisp, and the camera clarity improved over my previous laptop. The webcam privacy shutter did provide me with a lot of comfort, as I could easily open it or close it when I wanted to ensure I wouldn't be seen on camera.
The tablet mode for this laptop worked as well as the standard laptop functionality, and the touch screen was very responsive.
Performance-wise, the laptop itself worked well, sometimes it could be a little slow though I wasn't running anything that intense. When I was in a few different Google Meets, other people's camera/box was glitching, and I verified that the issue wasn't occurring for others on the same Meet.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve II Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall and sound will radiate and reflect around the room, immersing you in that same feeling you felt at your favorite show. The tapered cylindrical shape makes this wireless speaker easy to grab and go, while a durable aluminum body provides worry-free protection. And it’s water resistant so you can keep the party going, even if it starts to rain. The rechargeable, lithium-ion battery plays up to 13 hours — for full-day listening. Voice prompts talk you through Bluetooth pairing, and there’s a built-in speakerphone for calls. Use the Bose Connect app to pair two SoundLink speakers for Stereo or Party Mode. The app also helps you manage your devices, unlock features, and access future updates. Available in Triple Black or Luxe Silver.
 
Tough speaker but throaty sound

This Boss speaker is definitely a solid little piece of hardware. Most of the weight is at the bottom, so the unit won't blow over in strong winds. Though I didn't have an opportunity to test it in the rain, it didn't have any issues in freezing temps. The battery seems too be good for over 10% per hour, coming in at the expected ~13hr range. It seems to charge pretty quickly too. Also note that there is a thread connection available on the bottom, presumably to be able to place these on a speaker stand of some sort.
The sound seems to come from everywhere, which is good as you don't have to worry about direction/placement. The unit can get very loud if need be without distortion, however in general the sounds can be kind of throaty - nothing comes across super clear. I didn't get punchy bass, or high trebles. I think the intended use in an outdoor setting, this would be fit to purpose, especially if you have a couple of units that you intend to fill a large space with sound (you can synch multiple speakers with the Bose Connect app).
The Bose Connect software was easy to find/install from the Apple Store. One thing to note, that when I ran the initial upgrade process, this took over an hour. I'm not sure why, as it shouldn't have been a download speed issue (300MB broadband). After that initial hiccup though, the marriage between the app, the speaker, and my phone has been great. The app picks up other apps (Amazon Music, Audible) that are using the speaker, allowing you to control them from it instead. You can also power on the speaker via the app simply by connecting to it, however for some reason you can't power it down - that's left to whatever timeout setting you've chosen via the app (the speaker will complain cheerfully that it's ready to connect when in this state).
So far for me this has been a great addition to my home office, instead of having to wear a set of headphones to listen to some music, I can fill the room with sound.

The mouse is comfortable and light. The Roccat I had been using was cutting into my 3rd finger due to how the right mouse button was placed - the button sits high enough that won't happen here. You likely won't realize the paracord cable is even there, giving a wireless feel with a wired mouse. It performed without issue in any game genre I played; no issues with a slightly glossy surface (surface calibration for the win). Two downsides for me: if your hands are very dry, which mine can get in the winter, the surface of the mouse might as well be teflon, as it's hard to get an appropriate grip on it. The other, the front thumb mouse button feels too forward and I tend to rest more on the back of the mouse - so I end up reaching.
iCUE software was easily installed and hasn't caused any issues in Windows 10. Lots of options for changing whatever setting you want to fiddle with.
As stated in other reviews, I don't necessarily understand the point in the light changing functionality for gaming hardware, but the iCUE software is easily used to make changes, with multiple available options. I do however like that you can tie colors to temperatures in the system - very useful!

When will this be available? Also can i add more ssd or hd? Finally how loud are the fans? Thank you

I can speak to the fan sound - it's pretty low but you will feel the heat coming up through the keyboard, especially on the left hand side. I never had any issues with locking up or anything even when 'hot'.

 Shark - EZ Robot Vacuum RV912S with Self-Empty Base, Bagless, Wi-Fi - Dark Grey
Shark - EZ Robot Vacuum RV912S with Self-Empty Base, Bagless, Wi-Fi - Dark Grey
The Shark EZ Robot is your easy path to a smart clean. It combines the convenience of a self-empty base with powerful Shark suction for a complete home clean. After each cleaning session, your robot automatically empties itself into the bagless self-empty base, which holds multiple sessions’ worth of dirt and debris so you can forget about vacuuming for weeks. Now that’s easy.
 

Does this have a home mapping and room by room cleaning feature?

It maps the floor it's on, which can be reviewed on the app, but I don't think you can cut that map up into areas to be individually targetted.

Is this robot smart enough not to fall down stairs

Yes, the sensors will stop it from falling down stairs. If there is an issue, the app will alert you too.
