This machine is loaded and about as fast as a machine you can purchase at retail at Best Buy.
The 1080 card can handle the most demanding games!
The styling of the tower and extra lighting is fun too.

Straight forward wifi switch with no hub requireme
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: thpdg
from Hartford, CT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very straight forward wifi based switch that requires no hub to function.
Setup is easy: Power it up, it becomes its own access point. Connect your tablet (any OS) to the access point and start the free wemo app. The app configures the device for your home's wifi, the device restarts, your phone connects back to standard wifi and you're done.
And there is very good control flexibility. Turn it on and off through the app, turn it on and off through Amazon Alexa, or even turn it on and off, blink, toggle through IFTTT (which then opens the door to infinite possibilites)

My single complaint is the size. It's big. But it's so easy to use, it's easy to overlook the size issue.

I've worked my way through every Roku generation and this model continues to impress! It's much much faster than my Roku 3. I expected only incremental improvements, but this is night and day. The remote has been upgraded as well. Ok/Enter button in the center of the D-pad makes for easier navigation.

Ballsy card, but it's not a 1080
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: thpdg
from Hartford, CT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I went into this card thinking I could push games to Ultra at 4k at a decent framerate. The 1060 just isn't the card for that. Even if you manage to get a current title to do that, I wouldn't count on it holding up for more than a year.
If you know the limitations of the 1060 card, then this is a great example of one. Factory overclocked, with the EVGA engineering and reliability. Plenty of connectors too!

This is a really amazing consumer DSLR. Takes very high quality images at high resolution and with the lenses included in this bundle, you have the flexibility to take the shots you love!
The only issue so far is that the flash settings aren't always preserved when moving between modes. Watch for that when shooting at night!

Sounds good, but odd mixing
on August 5, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
These sounded like headphones. They're heavy and hot, but they sound nice for some gaming. Blocked outside sounds well.
They are supposed to be able to combine audio from multiple sources, but it was awkward. If you're looking for that feature, as I was, you might be disappointed.

This is a great, name brand charger. Works well, even with high current devices, like Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6s Plus. It's also color coordinated with the cords that are available separately.

Favorite Mouse

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my favorite mouse! I have 3 of them. The battery lasts for years, the tracking and accuracy are great for every day tasks and it's small enough for a laptop bag and big enough for desktop use!
I use it for gaming, but it may not be good for serious gaming. It has no dpi control. However, for everyday computer tasks, highly recommended!

Is it possible to use this mouse with a different USB dongle from previous Logitech product(s)?
I have the Logitech Wave keyboard/mouse combo, but the buttons are starting to go on the mouse. Either click too hard or too light and either way it'll over or under respond. Any who, I was wondering if this mouse would work through the Logitech USB dongle I currently have now that came with that keyboard/mouse combo, instead of having to use the one that comes with the mouse.
Thanks to any one and all that may answer my question.

This mouse works with any unifying adapter. Most of them have an orange burst logo on them.
If your old dongle does, then this mouse would work with it.
If it doesn't, Windows can handle two dongles at once, so you could still have your keyboard on the old dongle.
