Very disappointed. Bose used to have products that work really well but this soundbar is very disappointing. The sound is okay but all the features don't work like they should. For example the speaker and the Bose Music app don't always connect and the fact that you can't connect to TIDAL is disappointing. Also there are serious connection issues with this soundbar. When I want to play sound through the TV, sometimes i have to connect to music first, then connect to the TV.
This is my second Bose soundbar and honestly it's disappointing. I want to move to another brand but I've invested so much already into the Bose brand that everything else that goes with it (sub woofer and satellite speakers) would just end up going into a closet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The picture quality is okay, but if you want a tv that has reliable apps, you might want to keep looking. What's weird is that I have a 50" Vizio that I don't have any problems with. This one, not so much. The apps are very buggy and the main hub that you use to navigate to your apps freezes up often. I've gotten so frustrated with this TV that I have considered just throwing it out and getting a new one, but I've decided to just attach a Roku device to get my favorite streaming services to work on a reliable basis.

These keycaps look great, but the Windows Key is full sized unlike the Windows key on the Corsair K70 keyboard, so the Windows and Alt key are crowded and end up touching each other. Really disappointing as they keys really pop. Just make sure these will fit your keyboard before purchasing.

 Elgato - Game Capture HD60 Pro - Black
Elgato - Game Capture HD60 Pro - Black
Capture every moment of your game with this Elgato HD60 Pro game recorder. It fits inside your computer on a PCIe slot and offers 1080p60 video and can also be used in conjunction with your PS4 or your Xbox. Stream and record simultaneously to show off your skills with this Elgato HD60 Pro game recorder.
 

Will this work in a single PC or does it require a dedicated stream and a separate dedicated game PC (dual PC setup)? I Have only one PC with above the specs needed to use the card and my second system is in use by someone else. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what your needs are, but you don't need dual PCs to use this card. Whatever you input into the card, it can be captured and recorded or streamed. I currently have a camera inputting into the card and using it for my Twitch streams, but you could input a PS4, Xbox, Switch or some other device that has an HDMI output and capture it using this card.

 Belkin - Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station
Belkin - Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station
Organize needed peripherals with this Belkin Thunderbolt 3 DOCK MINI. The two HDMI ports support 4K monitors, while the two USB ports let you link a mouse, keyboard and other devices. Connect to a router for high-speed Internet using the Ethernet port. This Belkin Thunderbolt 3 DOCK MINI works with Windows and Mac devices for increased compatibility, and the thin aluminum body is both durable and portable.
 

I just bought a Samsung Notebook 9 Pen 13.3 to work from home. But, my office provides a DataStick Pro for file transfer, which I think is standard USB 3.0. This stick is too big for the ports on the Notebook. Will this station solve the problem?

As long as the notebook has a working Thunderbolt Port, it should work.

can you see what you are drawing on the actual tablet screen?

Depends on what program you are using. For example, when I use this in Photoshop, I can see the cursor move as hover the pen just above the surface of the pad. When I start to draw, depending on how hard or light I press, you can see the brush draw at the same pressure as how hard I am pressing. Check the program you intend to use the pad with and it should give you an idea if you can see what you are drawing on the screen or not.

can you use your smart tv as the monitor?

The tablet itself does not connect to your monitor, it connects to your computer. If you have a Desktop computer or a laptop, it might be possible for you to output your display to a Smart TV, depending on if your computer has the correct output (HMDI or DVI) and your TV has the corresponding input.
