Arozzi - Craft Series - D5000 - Ergonomic Gaming Chair - Ash
Like a Comfy Couch! The Vernazza Soft Fabric design is based on Arozzi~s top rated Vernazza chair, but has been covered with a soft yet durable fabric used on quality furniture! The breathable material is exceptionally pleasing to sit in, while at the same time keeping you cool for long term use! The wheel base has been upgraded to an aesthetically pleasing aluminum metal with a matte black finish, and the updated gas lift added some additional height to the seat ideal, expanding its comfort range and making it an ideal choice for taller body types as well!

This chair fills my needs as a tall (6 ft 1 in) and somewhat
heavy (260 lb) individual. It is also comfortable and
classy looking.
The chair itself is heavy (57 lb) and arrives in a fairly
massive box (62 lb). The box arrived showing some
wear (photos), which is to be expected for one of
its weight and size. However, the contents were
very well packed and in excellent condition.
I recommend that assembly be done on a large, clear
area of floor - and that an old sheet be spread over that
surface to protect the chair during assembly. I carefully
unpacked the pieces, and checked against the list of
pieces. Everything was there, including the only tool
needed for assembly and a pair of very nice white
gloves to protect the very nice finish of the chair.
I very carefully read the instructions included, but
found the video showing assembly to be more helpful.
Working by myself and proceeding very carefully, it
took me about 90 minutes to do the unpacking, repeated
viewing of the installation video, and assembly. The
finished chair looks very nice.
To date my main activity making use of the chair is
digitizing and editting old family slides. I keep the
back of the chair upright, and find it quite comfortable for
my long editting sessions.
My one criticism of the chair is that the arm rests do not
appear to be very sturdy - but this does not impact me
as I rarely use them while doing my work on the computer.
I would not hesitate to recommend this chair.

I got an incredible price for this as a Deal of the Day.
The first sign of a problem was when I hooked it up
to my computer with the provided usb cable. It appeared
to be charging, but the gamepad was not seen by my
computer. I turned on bluetooth and it was seen. I made
repeated attempts to play Forza Horizon 4 - but it would
disconnect in just a few seconds.
After digging through many user reviews I found several
users with the same problem, that was solved by
updating the firmware of the gamepad. I found the
website with the updates, and making the update was
actually pretty easy.
With that done I was able to play Forza Horizon 4 using
bluetooth without disconnecting.
I then tried playing using a usb cable, but one that
I had on hand and knew was good. This time the
gamepad immediately connected with my computer,
which properly identified the gamepad.
I have deducted one star for the bluetooth connection
problem. It would have been helpful if a card had been
provided mentioning a possible need to update the
firmware, and pointing to instructions on how to do it.
I deducted another star for what appears to be a defective usb cable. Luckily I had one of my own on
hand.
I recommend this gamepad if you can get a considerable
discount on it.

I purchased my first gaming pc over two months ago,
and needed a sine wave battery backup system to
protect my investment. This new pc uses a 850W
power supply, and can draw as much as 600W at times.
This ups provides the protection my new pc needs.
I have had no issues with it. It has been a good purchase.

Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

I have an older machine that uses one of these for the
system drive. It works so well, and is priced so well, that
I purchased a second one to use for system image backups. I clone my system drive to this each month, to
use as a backup. It is a fairly fast process, and provides
a good way to recover if a problem develops.

I got this drive as an upgrade for my system drive in my
new gaming computer. This drive is as fast as advertised
(see my test results below). At the start of the test it was
at 37deg C. At the end of the test it was at 51deg C, but it
was back to 37deg C in just 4 minutes.
I had no issues cloning my system on to this drive using
Acronis. I have had no issues running my new gaming
computer with this drive in the 2 months I have had this
drive.
This was a good purchase, and has enhanced the
capabilities of my new gaming computer.
