I opted for this over the amazon echo dot due to how deep i am into the google eco system. I thought it would be perfect to access my google play music library using this device, but it turns out you can't play from your library (only play free radio stations similar to those artists) unless you have a paid subscription. color me disappointed.

pretty good quality for the relatively low price. make no mistake, this is no high-end system so audiophiles beware, but it's solid enough. i have it hooked to my tv (sony x800d) because the built-in speakers are terrible.

kind of hard to justify at the price, but it's definitely worth it if you have money to burn. boost mode is great, and games like Horizon Zero Dawn look incredible in 4k.

the open beta was enough to turn me away from this game. the bugs and glitches didn't even bother me, it was the dull gameplay that cause me to sell my pre-order unopened as soon as it arrived (was too lazy to just cancel, but whatever). i mean, the only fun I had was team killing my friends with explosives.

Due to my huge backlog I was going to pass on this, I mean, when would I have the chance to play this? But i gave into peer pressure from my friends and reluctantly bought it, and holy hades is this a blast to play. a surprising amount of depth to the in-game strategy, but a disappointing lack of depth as far as game modes and what not.

Requirements
Now I have owned this since this past February and it turns out that my existing computer doesn't agree with it because of the mismatched performance so what is the best and most affordable computer/laptop that I should buy for this?
In the long run you're better off building your own PC than buying a premade PC. better value on parts, plus the ability to upgrade down the line. you could build something quality with as little as $500 and it shouldn't have any problems running the HD60 software. Me personally I have an i5-4690 processor and it runs without flaw. using the Stream function becomes a bit of an issue, but I use 3rd party software (OBS) thats more suited to handle those features.
