I purchased this web cam as a solution to video conference while working from home when my company locked their doors during Covid-19. It could not have been easier. Simply plug it in. Open Windows Camera to see if it is working and it was on. It has a little green light on the left side to let you know it is active. Granted it is not high end HD video but it is great for WebEx with video

I purchased this printer for my father as a replacement photo printer. He was happy with his previous Pixma but this one is even better. The only drawback is the same for all printers. Refill ink is over the top expensive and two refills will cost more than the printer itself. His old Pixma ink is not compatible with any current printers.

This device has solved the issue of my teenage daughter constantly breaking her cords, losing her cords, or leaving them at a friends house. She is to embarrassed to take it anywhere so it sits on her night stand. Now, every night she can get a full charge.

Xbox One is a great system in that I can buy and push games and apps to the Xbox from my computer, which is a lot easier. My kids also use it as a streaming device to the TV as it works much better for that than the Smart TV it is hooked up to.

PC Gaming is important to me. I upgrade my gaming laptop ever couple of years or less. But only if there is a significant upgrade to the GPU. This new MSI has a RTX 2070Q MaxQ. This is a super power friendly system. My power strip had gotten turned off accidentally and I was gaming (Control) for about 80 minutes before the graphics started to slow down and I noticed it had no power. The computer is super light and the graphics are stunning. I really love having a backlit keyboard. It allows for playing with all the lights off. The new system has some new color schemes that make it interesting. I also have an Atmos Ready headset and the sound is just incredible. Every computer I get is better than the last (just common sense) but this one is significant levels above the last one.

I purchased this because my new eero router only has one Ethernet output. I have 3 devices I normally have connected to my router via Ethernet for better performance. Easy simply plug and play switch. No need to buy a big expensive one, this one does the trick

I went into BB to replace my Netgear Nighthawk. An associate came over to assist me. He suggested the eero - Pro Mesh system and would suggest this over any other router they carry. So I purchased it. Prior to the eero I was getting 84 to 89 mb/s download. With the eero I am now getting 130 to 138 mb/s. The smart TV in our basement and my daughters in their rooms are getting significantly better connections as well. This is due in large part to the Mesh. Setting up routers has always been pretty easy and basic. This router makes it ridiculously simple, especially adding on the secondary units. The app you can put on your phone is very nice for being able to track and monitor who is on your system. You can easily set up time restrictions on it as well. The only drawback is the seeming lack of security. I did not see a method for an administrator password

Fortunately I got this game as a promo for buying a new GPU. All through the beginning I kept hoping this constant dreams cape environment would end. Supposedly touted as making use of Ray Tracing. But I find it exceptionally frustrating that your character is constantly walking through a gray haze and you are constantly bombarded with visions and spooooky voices.
Granted aside from that the game play is fun, though story line cut scenes do drag on. Fortunate it is that you can fast forward through them.

I know you can connect different devices to these speakers but how about 2 computers so I can share the surround between 2 of my systems?
I have it hooked up to my gaming computer using the primary Intel HD audio connections and I also have it hook up to my work computer via 3.5 mm to RCA inputs on the sub. I listen to music on it while working and it sounds great. Better from the primary inputs, but still good.

How many watts is the subwoofer?
The subwoofer is 165 watts.
Not enough in my mind for supporting home theater, but I have the sub less than 2 feet from my chair and it is really solid for computer gaming.

Can I use this system with a television?
Provided your TV has the proper out puts you can input it into the system.
Though I do feel it is set up best for a Computer. The input from your TV could use the digital audio inputs or from the TV's headphone jack
there is no HDMI

There is a button on the remote to adjust levels.
You have the ability to independently adjust the Center, Sub, rears (both together) and fronts (both together)
I have the sub on the floor next to my chair and I can feel the vibration.

I see it’s out of stock. Do you plan to ever carry again?
They were out of stock when I found out about them. I put them in my saved area and set it up for notification. I received the notice and purchased them immediately. There must have been only one becuase I looked again in a few minutes and it said out of stock

I saw on the logitec website these speakers for 399$. Why are these so cheep here? Are the these brand new or Fixed??
I got them brand new from BB priced at $299. I was also curious as getting brand new or open box. The system was brand spanking new and did not look touched at all.

Would this be compatible with a Dell XPS 8900 Desktop. It has Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller. Processor is Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.4 GHz. Could this SSD be plugged in and designated as the boot up device ? Thanks!
You will need to see if your computer has an available PCI Express 3.0 slot available
From what I can see on the specs for this computer it should have one.
However, I would recommend having a Geek Squad member do the work for you.
Installing the card is pretty easy. But the process of switching it to the boot drive is more tricky.
It may be more cost effective to buy a new computer.
