Good laptop for the price!

I purchased this laptop due to price/performance point. The screen on this laptop is HUGE. Very nice, vibrant colors. Boots up pretty quickly and can run most applications and games (if you're a gamer like I am).
A couple drawbacks though - actual performance could be a little better. It does take a little while to load certain applications and games, but once they're loaded things run relatively seamless. You WILL need to adjust the color/screen options when you first use it. Blacks were washed out, colors were too bright, etc. but nothing that some tweaking fixed.
Overall - a good laptop for the price/performance.

One of the best Marvel movies out there...

Verified Purchase:Yes
At first, I was a bit skeptical going into Guardians of the Galaxy (GotG) and was worried, how well they could adapt them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe from a relatively unfamiliar comic book series.
Well, I was blown away. Marvel's first venture across the universe is a success on many levels. I see the film in similar fashion as a Space Opera, such as Star Wars. The characters have heart and soul, the action is intense and for you A/V enthusiasts - absolute reference quality material. It literally feels like an Avengers in Space sort of deal, but that's OK. The soundtrack is hands down - probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a movie.
There are one or two quirks with it however; and that is the main villain seems a little bland. In addition, the movie's insanely awesome quality falls a tiny bit (but not too much) short towards the final confrontation. It almost felt a little too rushed, tacked-on, maybe cliche?
Other than that, personally - I would rank this as my 2nd favorite Marvel movie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier ranks as #1).
I highly, highly recommend you watch this movie.

It's not always the biggest, brawniest guy that ends up winning. Captain Toad may be small and he may not be able to jump very high or run fast, but what he lacks in sheer strength and size he more than makes up for in intelligence and perception. Embark on a solo adventure as the brave Captain Toad in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Arrayed with only a neck scarf, backpack and oversize head lamp, you'll have to primarily rely on your resources of wit and perspective to make it through a dangerous world brimming with treacherous enemies, puzzles, traps and secrets. Are you ready to set off on a mind-bending adventure filled with hidden threats?Captain Toad Treasure Tracker plants you in a world comprised of a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages where your main prerogative is to survive while you find hidden items and eventually nab the elusive gold star at the end of each stage. Each stage is its own puzzle that must be solved — all while collecting hidden items that are littered throughout in hard-to-reach places, such as gems, coins and powerups. Unveil secret locations and get a closer look at secluded dangers by using your Wii U GamePad's gyro controls to peer around. Do you have the necessary smarts to survive a profusion of puzzles, a ton of traps, plenty of platforms and an abundance of attackers? Survive each stage's secrets and seize the stars in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

AMAZING router.

I purchased this router to replace my old Linksys E2000 router. The difference is night an day in terms of distance and signal. Running two simultaneous wi-fi networks (one is 2.4Ghz, other is 5Ghz) is pretty cool. Features and customization is out of this world.
And...this is fast. VERY, VERY fast. It's a little high on the price tag, but if you're looking for the best bang for your buck - then this router is it.

Ryse: Son Of Rome is one of those games that is easy to just pickup and get right into. It does have a couple challenging areas here and there but overall the gameplay and difficulty are about average.
The graphics.....whoa boy. Easily the best looking game I've probably ever seen. I can't describe the graphics, you'll just have to play it to believe it.
Very good game and I recommend you play it!

Good system...some kinks to work out.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Xbox One when they had the buy any X1 console, get any game free and a free 2 yr. membership to Gamers Club Unlocked. (Score!) So I picked up the X1 Madden edition w/Ryse Son of Rome.
The UI itself is very fast, sleek, intuitive and everything is pretty straight forward. Has a plentiful selection of games so there's something for everyone.
The only issue I have with this console...is the install/update system. It took HOURS to install (and presumably update?) Ryse Son of Rome. Same thing for Dead Rising 3 (when I purchased it separately); took nearly ALL day from morning to night to install/update. What happens is that it stopped installing at around 47%. Had to delete it and start over, only for it to happen again. Internet connection is perfect (I also own a PS4 and install/downloads takes a few minutes tops) so it has to be with the way the console installs data.
Overall - very impressed with it. Good graphics, audio, controller feels comfortable and am looking forward to some of the exclusive titles Microsoft has to offer!

I picked this game up because my son wanted it for his birthday. I've played Plants vs. Zombies on the tablet before but never really got into it. I will say that I am genuinely surprised with this game.
It has a bunch of different game modes, local co-op split screen and TONS, and I mean TONS of customizations for each class of characters. You can use coins earned in-game to spend in the games Sticker Store to unlock more content, characters and customizations.
The game is also .....cute. I can't help but say it, its cute and humorous. Tons of fun to play, great graphics, I highly suggest you try this game out!

Sanctuary is a place of peace and safety, but you know this hasn't always been the case. Two decades ago the Prime Evils plagued your world, but thanks to the tireless combat waged by the Barbarians, Demon Hunters, Monks, Witch Doctors and Wizards their reign of terror came to an end. Now whispers are circulating in the city of Tristram, the place where it all began, and rumor has it that a new menace is coming. Heroes must rise to the call of battle once more and defend Sanctuary against the demon hordes. Raise your weapon, sharpen your skills and join the quest — before it's too late.Return to the world of Sanctuary to wage war against the forces of evil in this action-packed Ultimate Evil Edition, which combines the thrilling Diablo III with the critically acclaimed Reaper of Souls expansion pack. Choose your identity from one of the five original customizable classes, including Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard, or select the all-new Crusader class that lets you don fortified armor and rain down holy vengeance on the powers of darkness. Jump into the action of Reaper of Souls when you set out on an epic quest through frightening and awe-inspiring landscapes where peril lurks around every corner on the journey to the legendary city of Westmarch. Decimate demonic foes in fast-paced combat as you fight your way to the ultimate opponent — Malthael, the Angel of Death, a terrifying enemy bent on the ultimate destruction of the innocent denizens of Sanctuary. Feel the freedom of an expansive open world with Adventure mode, which lets you unleash your powers anywhere at any time as you strike down any demon foolish enough to cross your path. Track down the elder evil in randomized objectives that allow you to explore Sanctuary in new ways and earn bounties. Descend into the depths of fully randomized dungeons with Nephalem Rifts that deliver hours of replayability and tons of loot. Quest with advanced players and boost your stats with Apprentice mode. Personalize your loot by seeking out The Mystic, a mysterious artisan who takes your gear to the next level. Fight alone or with friends in four-player same-screen mode or online multiplayer mode.

I've been an avid Diablo player for years. I've put hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 on the PC and decided to double-dip and get the PS4 version. I love the idea of couch gaming with a game like this as well as the local co-op. And if you have a home theater/surround sound system - you're in for a treat.
This game is worth every single penny and should be in every PS4 owners library.

Absolutely. I believe they will hold it for 7 days after release, but don't quote me on that.
