Microsoft - Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One - Black
Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Stop replacing batteries all the time. This charge kit replaces the regular batteries. You can charge it while playing. Modern controllers also power your gaming headsets and vibrate. Energy consumption is higher so this is a great fit.

I purchased this for use with an Xbox One S. I was concerned that running it through the controller would deplete the battery quickly. While it does require more charging you can charge the controller while using it. Sound quality is good but not great and my daughter says players sometimes have a hard time hearing her. After a couple hours of gaming it does get a little uncomfortable. Overall it is a really good budget gaming headset.

I purchased this headset for use while working at home for video meetings computer phone calls. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable for long term wearing but it actually is not uncomfortable The microphone is responsive and the audio is crisp and clear. I also use it for listening to music while I work and the sound quality is good. I think it would also work very well for home gaming as well.

Doom has a long history that helped define the genre. The graphics engine is spectacular but I feel the story line is weak. There really is not a lot of finesse to game play and the scenarios tend to get repetitive. The multiplayer H2H aspect was a little clunky and could use refinement. I would still recommend playing it but my expectations were to high for it.

This game was a lot of fun, great graphics, and one of the very few times I didn't turn off the music. However, this game could greatly benefit from a Fast Travel option. The game does get pretty repetitive in that your quite often doing the same parkour tricks quite often and you tend to go from point A to B to C etc. Certainly not open world. And the game is short, I did all missions and finished in about 21 hours. If it had not been for the ability to skip cut scenes it would have added about 4 to 5 hours.

I have wanted a color laser at home for some time but they were so very expensive. When my ink jet printer quit working I found this printer on sale. What a great value. I don't print photos anymore so this is a perfect fit. It is fully network capable. I can copy, scan direct to my computer, and as a bonus I can print from my phone or from my work to the printer using a email address that belongs to the printer. The only drawback is that it is cumbersome when trying to change paper sizes and selecting from a specific tray.

As with almost all Apple products they are well built and have a very high quality of sound. However, as with all Apple products they are expensive. I would suggest also getting a carrying case that can attach to a back pack or something.

When I asked for a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter the words VGA confused the young associate but he found what I needed.

This 40-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-40D510NA21 40" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.
How far apart are the legs of the tv and how wide are they. I have a stand that is 19 inch wide. will it fit
Typically on most TV's the legs are on the outer limits of the width of the TV. These are a couple inches from the edge.
Or about 34 inches
Your going to want to look for a TV that is about 20" or has a single pedestal in the middle. Which is not common anymore

Can this pc run at 240 monitor
Yes it can. The RTX 2080 Super is more than capable. However, I personally believe that is a little bit of a gimmick. I would challenge anyone running the same game on identical computers side by side to see the difference between 144 and 240 mhz without using equipment to analyze it.
However, I would strongly suggest a G-Sync monitor to go with it.

ASUS - AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
Take your smart home to the next level with this ASUS router. Boosted Wi-Fi speeds and intelligent signals streaming directly to each of your devices will keep your busy wireless network running smoothly, just the way you want.
Can you just add a router and have it dedicated to just one computer in a house with 5 smart TV's, IPAD's, phones, etc? We have a router and a booster now butI MUST have my computer work and be fast all the time. We have Frontier for internet. Thank you.
To be straightforward of you have having slow connections I would look to Frontier as the issue. At least in my area Frontiers Premium Service is 45 Mbs. I have not been that slow in years with Spectrum/Charter. I was getting 84 mps on my old router and now I am getting 140 mps with no change in service.
The nature of a mesh system is not set up to distinguish that this or that device uses this or that pod. Your device will connect to the closest and work at the max speed necessary for what you are doing.
For best performance on you computer you will need to figure out a way to connect Ethernet directly to your computer.
