I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.

This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.

Does the storage have solid state drive SSD or is it hard drive

Top 100 Contributor
Best Answer

It is a 1TB HDD. It spins at 5400RPM. It is connected with a SATA III connector that gives it a significant boost over the Xbox One, which uses a SATA II connection.

Is this ssd or sshd.

Top 100 Contributor

The Xbox One X has a 1TB HDD, It spins at 5400rpm. However, because it uses a SATA III connection, it operates faster than the drive of the Xbox One, which uses a SATA II connection. It is NOT an SSD, nor an SSHD.

Do i have to buy digital games or regular xbox games

Top 100 Contributor

You can buy either the digital version or the physical version. What is installed on your machine will be the same either way. I often find physical versions to be on sale or on clearance at considerable discounts.

If I order this from the Best Buy website, can I get it delivered to my home, or do I have to pick it up from the store?

Top 100 Contributor

You can have it shipped to your home for free! And Best Buy generally gets it to you very quickly! That's how I got mine, and almost everything I have purchased from Best Buy in the last 3 months.

XBOX One X 1TB Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition Console Bundle

New gamer here! Do I need any type of hard drives to hold more game, etc? And if so what is recommended?

Top 100 Contributor

You should plan on getting a usb external hard drive, 4TB or greater. Western Digital and Seagate have good units at reasonable prices. If you will be subscribing to Xbox's subscription services, and taking advantage of the many deals on games at Best Buy and elsewhere, you will fill up the 1TB in the console very quickly. I've only had my unit for 4 days, and it is already more than half full!

ION Audio - Retro Boombox with AM/FM Radio - Silver

Revel in immersive audio with this retro-style Ion Boombox Deluxe portable stereo. Dual full-range speakers deliver impressive sound reproduction, while Bluetooth technology, USB playback, an AM FM radio and a built-in cassette player offer vast entertainment options. This Ion Boombox Deluxe portable stereo comes with a long-lasting rechargeable battery for convenience.

Can it connect to wireless earbuds?

Top 100 Contributor

No, it can not. It has bluetooth ONLY for input - so you can stream music from your cell phone to it (and it does a great job with this). But you can not output using bluetooth. You can, however, connect using the headphone out - and the quality of that output is first rate. You will need to get wired earbuds to do this.

How is the am fm quality pickup. I live in the country.

Top 100 Contributor
Best Answer

I live in a small town. I pick up local fm stations, and fm stations within 30 miles with outstanding clarity. The tuner locks on, and there is zero drift (none observed over a 5 hour period, and it remains tuned precisely from day to day). I can't speak to am stations.

It has a built in rechargeable battery. Use the supplied ac power cord to charge it. Make certain the switch on the back is "on" when you do this.
