It is a simplistic file organizer for your desk. It is heavy so it won’t move around but I find the plates that hold the files in place can be flexible as well

Corsair makes some of the best PC gaming products around and this keyboard does not disappoint. They keys are actually pretty quiet and you can type very fast. Cool RGB and the volume wheel looks classy as a nice touch. The braided cable is very thick and sturdy and comes with a USB pass through, so you can connect USB devices right into the keyboard as well, reducing desk clutter.

This is a fast notebook and can play newer games like Battlefield V at max settings with Ray Tracing on which was pretty impressive. On turbo mode it sounds like a hair dryer though and the speakers are very weak, they just do not go that loud. The keys feel a little small and flat and unless you have any type of RGB on, you cannot see letters/numbers of the keys. Having the RBG on will drain your battery faster so..... not to sure about that yet. When typing where your palms rest, it feels like a cheap brushed plastic. ASUS cut corners to put fast hardware internally and that does make for a quick notebook but to me the build quality it lacking. The claimed 240Hz monitor shows no difference to me when compared to my 144Hz monitor for my PC.
All in all I got it for a good price but have second thoughts on my purchase.

This receiver has a lot of inputs for all of your devices and a nice bar included for setting up the surround sound. I have been having issues with the TV and the single ARC HDMI connection recently. The TV is being replaced, I am not sure if it is the receiver or not. Other than than, its a decent receiver but could use more power if you want more than a 5.1 setup.

A TV that gets easy screen burn-in and mine had a bad panel in less than one year. All they will do is replace the panel with Geek Squad and not the TV itself, so you get a nice refurb. Very dissatisfied with the additional money I paid for the Geek Squad service and I do not recommend others to purchase this service after my experience. Spend the money to send out a technician, install a panel on a 3 year old TV that may not even work. Then the TV gets swapped out anyway (Which it will) only puts Best Buy at negative loss revenue for this transaction and makes absolutely no set from a business perspective.

Great tv but one problem. When I connected my cable box it would NOT pick up the local channels so I now have NO local channels. It is connected through the "antenna" input as the box does not have and HDMI port. How do I get my regular cable channels?

It might be either or but in the setting there is an option to search for the local channels and but since you have your cable box plugged into your antenna port, that could be the reason it’s not able to search for the local channels. I would recommend connecting via HDMI to get the most out of the picture and the TV if possible.

Do I need to turn off the power switch on the sub after use ? The red led light never goes off otherwise.

No, it’s a powered subwoofer with an automatic power-off feature. When the receiver it is not pushing power to it and the receiver is powered off, the Sub goes into a “standby” mode. When the receiver turns back on, it sends a power signal back to the Sub and also turns the Sub back on as well. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the Sub to come back on from the “standby” mode, depending on how powerful your receiver is. I always leave mine on.
