My opinion, this is a near perfect laptop.
A very large screen, for a mobile platform... very little space left on the sides of the monitor, so it is using the full space made available.
The Keyboard is a full size keyboard with a numeric pad. For those that use that numeric pad, that is a big deal... as a lot of laptops get rid of it, and make the screen smaller or float the keyboard in the middle, with wasted space on the sides.
My first nit pick is that the touch pad, is really big... almost too big. I hit it often when I don't want to, and it is sensitive to the touch.
The battery life, well I haven't been able to drain it empty yet, even with power using... so far so good there. The power brick is that a brick, it is bigger then I hoped it would be, and it is a round plug. and not the USB-C style, so again... if you want an extra adapter, you can't go with the dozens of available power supplies, you need to buy one from Dell or wait for a 3rd party to release one.
The SSD... very quick, very quick... but 512gb is just too small for a gaming laptop. 1 game can take up 1/3rd of this drive... and adding an external, defeats the purpose. So that is my primary reason for a drop of a star.
Boots really really fast. Almost no lag.
There is a healthy amount of pre-installed components, that for me... I uninstall (like Norton).

I love having the physical network port... as I can get faster feeds with the hardline connection, then wifi. great to have both.
Minimal USB ports, but there is the mix of USB-3 and USB-C. enough to get buy.
I am playing to retire my Dell desktop with this laptop, and have the flexibility. I would have liked to see a DisplayPort output, with this higher end video chipset, but it just has an HDMI.
Will need to look at options to add a 2nd external display.
I am already getting messages that the laptop is ready for Windows 11, and confirmed... just now waiting to upgrade the OS, and ready to go.

So as technology updates, things just get faster and faster, in small packages.
This laptop packs a punch. Out of the box, it is slick and sleek, and ready to go. It is a smaller form-factor laptop, when compared to other similar "spec'd" laptops. My first minor nit pick, is that the adapter is big... really big. and heavy. It also isn't using a USB-C style connector, so once again we have an OEM adapter, and with one this size... going to be a downer to carry it around all over when needed.
Once getting started, Windows 10 takes it sweet time to get up and running, and you are going to have a bunch of updates, including an important firmware update for the hardware, which will take some time.
After that... that is when the fun started.
This machine boots in seconds. From total power off, to full screen login, I would say under 30s if not quicker. It is crazy fast.
The touch pad is a little sensitive, but most gamers are going to use an external mouse. The keyboard does NOT have the numeric keypad, for those that use that for gaming. You are going to want an external keyboard.
Here is some of my additional issues come into, which resulted with the one start deduction (This can easily be a 5 star, if these things are not important).
Limited USB ports... With an external mouse and keyboard, that will use the ones you have. so you will need a hub or dock for additional.
Only an HDMI output. I know HDMI is the more general one out there, but a Display Port (mini), would work really good too.
The power on button, is on the keyboard, under the monitor. Doesn't sound bad at first, but if you use this on a desk, with a monitor, you will need to open up the laptop, turn it on... and close it, etc... would be nice if the power button was out on the outside.
No hardline ethernet jack, only WiFi.
WiFi has some lag, and I like to hardline... so had to use a USB->Ethernet adapter.

Back to the good:
Hardware specs, you should need much more now days. 16gb of memory and 1tb of storage is really big. Some games may need more, but you would have to trade weight and size, to get much larger then 1tb.

The processor and Video is top notch for a laptop. downside, no chance of upgrading... so buy big so you can get the value out of it for a while.
Now for game play, so far no issues... loaded up Sims4 (my wife's favorite), and then loaded of Call of Duty... solid play with good screen resolution and response, very happy with it. Won't be able to test it out for League of Legends for a few weeks, till my son is back from school
Overall... a very solid machine.
One thing I am anxious to see, is how compatible it is with Windows 11 when it is released.

Fantastic, Takes Some Time

These are going to be game changing items for me and my fitness goals. A lot of upside, but some downsides.
First and foremost... Sizing. Don't go by your "typical" size thoughts. look at the chart, and MEASURE your actual legs. I am just a hair under 6 foot tall, and I had to go with a medium, and even then it was almost too big.
It took me a little while to get it fitted right on my leg, as I have very big thighs and the zipper wouldn't close, but once I got it position right, it is fine. the trick is that your foot doesn't sit flat in the bottom like a shoe, pull the thigh portion as high as it can go, and that is how it will fit.
The next piece, which is a small minor thing, there is no left and right. they are both identical. so on one leg the tubes are going to be on the inside of your leg, on the other on the outside. just an OCD thing for some people (like me at first).
The pump. It IS battery powered after a charge, which is great... as in some locations, it may not be easily plugged in while using. It is light and easy to move around. Small knock, you have to confirm the bluetooth connection to your phone EVERYTIME you use it. minor nit pick, but is a bit frustrating after you get your self all hooked up and ready to go. But the app is so much easier to use then the front display.
So this is the primary reason for 1 star off:
- You want to use these soon after your work out, BUT you will want to shower before you do so. As you will be in these for at least 15 minutes if not longer (30 minutes). If you are still sweaty and um... well you know, then these legs sleeves are going to get very funky.
- So figure 10-15 minutes post workout, before you can even start to use them, and then the time on them 15-30 minutes.
- All said and done, workout, shower, Recovery... it is about 1.5 to 2 hours. which requires some planning.

- All said and done, workout, shower, Recovery... it is about 1.5 to 2 hours. which requires some planning.
I have been using the Recovery set about 3 times a week, and it has helped out so far... but I know it is going take some time to really know if it is making a difference.
I am VERY happy that I got them, as I can cover more of my muscles then the Theragun (pulse) that I have can reach.

The video quality on this monitor is top notch, and that is the most important thing. And extremely thin screen, but with deep colors. and rapid response.
No matter what I through at it, there was no flicker or delay in the picture display. From video, to games, to code, to documents... it all displayed great.
It is a very LIGHT monitor. So one thing, in my usage, I was using it as an extended monitor for my laptop. I would occasionally hit it as I walked away from the table, and being it was so light, it would move... not a big deal if you are on a desk, but if you are going to use it where there is movement about, keep an eye.
Comes with just an HDMI and a VGA connector options. VGA is still important to some users on older computers, or applications... so this may be a good option for them to have a modern monitor, with that older connection. The HDMI is just as easy to connect, right on the back... not on the side.
Simple AND SMALL adapter, which is great. makes storage of that small power brick easy, and I will probably end-up 3M hooking it to the back of the monitor.
Now this is where It looses a star for me.
The integrated stand... So for basic usage, this is going t one fine for most. Real easy to put together, took all of 3 or 4 minutes...

What it really needs is the standard VESA mounting screws, so that I can add this to a 3rd Party monitor stand. I would really love to use this monitor in the portrait mode (up and down), so I can have it right next to my 32" monitor on my main computer, as a second monitor. For Code review (for work) and chat (while game playing).
Also for others, that have to raise and lower their monitor to get to a good visual site light (for neck and eye strain), will have to be created to get the moniotor up of their desk a bit.
Overall, the visuals are stunning, usage it is easy.
Just the stand / mount options are a bit lacking, which may not matter for most.

A bonus plus, if you are looking for a new monitor for your older computer that uses VGA

So plain and simple... this is a great replacement or addition to the storage solution in your gaming PC.
So this is an INTERNAL 3.5" SATA based hard driving. Meaning, it won't work inside your laptop or a micro-compact PC. This needs to be inside a case (either a full computer case, or an external case).
The basics: It is a SATA drive, the current standard connectivity in any computer built in the last 5 years. And has all the standard mounting screws for a drive of this type. It is also full size, so it will use the full 3.5" slot in that case.
Setup: there are three main ways to set this up.
a) As an extra drive in your system, where you can set it up as a new drive letter or volume, or with some tricks you can assign it to a folder.
b) As a full replacement for an existing drive. This is what I did, using software readily available... it clones my current drive, to this drive... and then expands out my partition to use the rest of the space.
c) As a new drive for a fresh install. You would connect as the drive in the system and install.

The physical drive itself, correctly reports to the system. The performance of the drive, isn't dictated by which of the 3 methods you use, but you need to know that it is close to plug and play, but you need to configure your system on using this drive.
As for performance: First the space is massive. 10TB in a single drive is big, there are very few single drives bigger. (As a side note, just 25 years ago... I purchased from Best Buy a 200MB (megabyte) hard drive, for a steal of a price. That is 0.002% the size of this new drive. But with current computing and gaming it is needed.
Modern games are using MASSIVE space, and you don't want to have to delete your games and files, just to get the newst stuff.
After install and setup, this increased the performance of my system. My load time for Microsoft Flight Simulator increased. For our Oculus Rift games, we were able to re-download some of our favorites that we had to delete for space reason.
I am still only maybe using 40% of this drive right now, so plenty of space to go. With some big releases coming, space available is great.
So if you are tight on space, snag that drive... upgrade now. As when you need the space, you will be glad you did.

So you got the hottest new release pre-ordered... digital download (Which is pretty much the only way to go)... and well you need 150-200gb for the game, and that stock storage... is full.
What do you do? Delete your brothers games? What about Mom's high records? nah... Add an external storage drive. No need to void the warranty of your xbox, or go through some complicated upgrade process... or give it to your friends cousin who knows how to do it.
This WD External USB drive, is pretty much fool proof to get going.
- No Power Supply, just the included usb cable is all is needed.
- Connect one end to the drive, and then one to the xbox and Microsoft leads you the rest of the way.
- Slick compact outer case, looks great right next to the xbox.

- Slick compact outer case, looks great right next to the xbox.
Just taking it out of the box, you know this drive is solid made. no moving parts, just a great feeling metallic case (important for cooling), in an XBOX styled shell, doesn't make this look bulky but that it is belongs.
The process on the XBOX changes with software upgrades, so refer to the XBOX FAQ or Microsoft's site on how to utilize the drive. But in general the process is as such:
- Approve for the storage to be added to your XBOX
- Move content that is already on the internal drive (or another External device), to the new drive
- Choose if you want the external or the internal to be the destination for new content.
- Approve for the storage to be added to your XBOX
- Move content that is already on the internal drive (or another External device), to the new drive
- Choose if you want the external or the internal to be the destination for new content.
And that is it, after some time to move the files... you are good to go.
I personally feel, that I have seen an improvement in load time on some of my larger games. But I have no way to actually test that objectively, as there is so many factors.
But what I can tell you, is that I don't need to pick and choose now what stays and what goes. It's going to be a while till I fill up this new drive, so good to go.
So if you don't have the space for that next DLC, and Season Pack... don't get a new Xbox... just add this external drive

Solid quality, but challenges with Audio

So overall this is a good head set. Comes with all the options to get it connected to the computer. With a dedicated dongle, or using the native blue tooth.
Light weight, have worn for hours at a time, with no issues on the neck or head.
Battery is long lasting, I can go two typical work days without charging. Uses the updated USB-C interface for a charge. Nice feature is when you power it on, gives you an estimate life left on the battery.
The mic is small, so doesn't get into your visual direction, but also can't get it close to your mouth for those "I can't hear you moments". You can lift it up to mute, or you can hit the very tiny button on the arm to mute it.
But what is missing, is a visual indicator that you are muted or not muted. That does come in handy when on calls the entire day.
I like that the ear pieces are connected by a cloth external wire, and not hidden in side the physical head Gera. that leads less chance fo them to get pinched or broken.
My other negative, is that I don't like the "hear your self" in the headset. What I say, there is the slight echo in the headset. Nothing I have tried has gotten rid of it. I have gotten used to it, but you can audible hear it.
Pairing takes a bit longer then some of my other headsets... but we are talking just a few seconds longer, nothing terrible. It comes into play, when I get that unexpected Teams call, after I have shut the headset down.
Overall... not a bad option, especially if you have multiple systems that you want to connect it with... and need the dongles... and the long lasting battery.

Simple, straight to the point... these work.
The color on this is nice, as it is easy to find in the drawer and on the counter. They are durable, as they have hit the tile floor many times, and are still exactly as they were.
They are even, and pinch completely to grab all the stubborn hairs and tightly.
A good value, a good product.

Years of purchasing blue tooth speakers, big and small. This one here, is by far the best large speaker I have gotten.
This is not a tiny backpack speaker, this one is 2ft tall, and has some weight to it. So it isn't going to get blow off the table, or just easily knocked over.
Built in battery for 20hrs. I haven't tried more then 10hrs yet, and this is simply working awesome. The built in USB, that allows me to charge my phone at the same time is great... especially away from home.
Pairs via blue tooth in a short few seconds, and you are ready to go.
Now for the important stuff... sound. OMG, the bass. Deep verberating, and just rocked my deck. You have your favorite songs, fire it up... and the entire block is going to know you are jamming. LOUD. Full volume is going to be WAY too much for most.. So you are going to have no problem to host with this bad boy.
The light system is slick, adds a little touch. Muted and faded, but noticeable. And with the easy to use app, you can change the colors or turn them off.
I am looking forward to get another one, so I can do the party link. But that is going to take some time. But when that comes, this is easily going to replace any need to have mounted outdoor speakers on the deck.
Need the tunes? Get the speaker.

So a great light weight ear bud style head phone.
Perfect for the workouts, outdoor usage... or where ever you need tunes while you do something.
Easy to charge, Easy to pair up. And frankly they just work.
Good sound for most. Audiophiles may find them lacking in some areas, but then again if you are looking for very loud and encompassing sound, you are not looking at ear buds.

Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.
