Not much to say except that it did a perfect job of cleaning a dirty, Open-Box tv that I purchased.
I will say that the included cloth is fantastic quality. The kit is kind of expensive for what it is but seriously, the cloth is best that I have ever used.

Fantastic slightly better than entry level 4K tv

I purchased this Open-Box and have been incredibly happy with my purchase.
Picture Quality: Crisp, with exceptionally good color and good motion accuracy (minimal/zero blur). The only knock that I can give the picture quality is that the blacks are a little lacking in depth and tend to flatten out and look all-black, but that is nit-picky for the price that I paid.
Features and Functions: Sony has done a really good job laying out the various menus. Easy to navigate and so far, everything works really well. The 4K streaming on Netflix is absolutely fantastic. The Menu navigation is simple enough that I would recommend this for the less tech savvy users out there. The remote is pretty good but I really wish that it was back-lit. It's not quite intuitive enough to navigate by touch when watching a movie in the dark.
Another note, I use my computer to Cast to the tv A LOT and it works incredibly well from Chrome.
I would give this tv 5-stars except for one constant issue. The wi-fi does not always connect automatically when turning the unit on (9/10 times this function fails). It's a simple matter of navigating to the Network Settings and activating it which takes 10 - 30 seconds but it's annoying. This seems to be a constant issue with this model and some others from the same family that will not be resolved in their lifetime. I would not let it deter someone from purchasing this tv but it is an issue to be aware of.

Maintain full control of your gaming commands with the customizable, illuminated keys on this Orion Spectrum mechanical gaming keyboard. Connect the unit to a smartphone or tablet to display in-game information when you need a second screen. Anti-ghosting protection keeps the Orion Spark mechanical gaming keyboard from freezing up during intense gaming sessions.

Absolutely fantastic, very usable keyboard
on June 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
So much has already been covered in previous reviews about the keys and functions that it is unnecessary for me to add comment on those aspects. I will comment on the weight and design as it pertains to my use of the keyboard because it may be valuable to someone else, who like me, uses it 100% of the time in their lap.
If you are like me and use your computer in a lounging position with the keyboard on your lap then the weight may be an issue for you. The Orion really is very heavy. I can pick it up with one hand but it's something that I have to be thinking about it each and every time and I can hear the plastic body being stressed a bit when I do. My biggest worry is that some day I am going to bump it off of the bed and because it is so heavy, it is going to seriously break upon impact with the floor.
Now, having said that, there are two parts of the design that make it perfect for the lap.
First, the connecting wire is offset to the right-hand side and has a sturdy input connection. In the past, I have blown through keyboards because of the stress put on the connecting wires into the back, as they are almost always in the middle of the board and are constantly being stressed and moved while in my lap. With the Orion having the input on the back-right of the board, it receives ZERO stress from being positioned in my lap.
Second, the underside of the board is surprisingly "grippy". It does NOT slide off of my lap. Ever. Even when I move around, it somehow stays in place. The surface underneath seems to make very little difference. It is hands-down the best board I have ever used in that aspect. The rubber feet underneath are also the best, most substantial that I've seen on a keyboard.

The Honeywell 300 CFM indoor evaporative air cooler offers an energy efficient cooling option when the air is hot with low humidity, such as desert areas like the southwestern United States (recommended humidity level is 60% or less for maximum efficiency). Honeywell evaporative air coolers do not require power hungry components like compressors. The low power consumption (only 102 watts) translates into significant savings on energy bills compared to using air conditioners. Just unpack, add water/ice, place near open door or window, plug it in, and use. This unit is ideal for indoor use in open environments with adequate cross ventilation up to 175 square feet. Four fan speeds and oscillating louvers evenly distribute cool air through the honeycomb cooling media while the carbon dust filter cleanses the air. For those living in more humid climates, consider portable air conditioning units or window air conditioners.

Honestly, I find I use it mostly as a fan. It is a REALLY good fan and pushes a lot of air. It's a decent swamp cooler. There are plenty of reviews that go into the details of how a swamp cooler works, so I won't add to that. It does the job and offers some relief to my studio apt. which is exactly what I was looking for.
I conditionally recommend this unit for the following reason:
I am fairly certain that it has spit some near-microscopic drops of oil through the air, as I have discovered multiple "mystery spots" in the pathway along where I have aimed it. They appear to be light lubricating oil stains (something I have experience with).
If you use this, I recommend being very careful to not have clothing or carpet that you care about, in the direct line of the airflow.

Experience pinpoint accuracy in your gaming action with this Logitech G602 910-003820 wireless gaming mouse, which features 5 distinct dpi settings to accommodate your needs. Eleven programmable buttons give you customized control.

I love this mouse. I would give it 5 stars but it's a bit over-priced imho. Some people might not like how heavy it is but I like a heavier mouse and this feels perfectly weighted to me.
The button response is quite accurate as well as the tracking. It comes with a receiver-extender cable, which was a must (for me) as my pc is kind of buried. I set this on top of my desk with perfect performance results.
I had my doubts about the shape of the mouse, where the thumb rests but I have fallen in love with it. It fits my hand very well and it allows a very light touch because my thumb is able to do a lot of the work and seems to have relieved any mouse-hand fatigue I might experience after hours of constant use.

Good low-medium end gaming keyboard

Verified Purchase:Yes
The keyboard itself is solid. It has good keystroke feel with light but solid feedback. My only complaint is that the W,A,S,D keys don't have a distinct feel to them, so I occasionally lose where I am by feel and have to look down.
I agree with other reviews that the backlighting is a bit dim. I like the two settings that are available but I wish there was a third, brighter setting.

It's the twenty-first century: multitasking is a way of life. Cell phones, laptops and tablets and their ever-expanding networks, apps and programs make it so we can almost always be doing at least two things at once. You send an e-mail while you're out to lunch. You call your clients while you're finishing up that presentation. You send your brother a birthday e-card while you're walking to your next appointment. Technology allows us to stay connected to the people and things we care about. It also creates a world where work and play are constantly overlapping — where creativity, productivity and recreation often go hand-in-hand.

Your productivity will reach new heights thanks to Windows 8.1's ability to work harmoniously with your devices, whether they are touch screen or mouse-and-keyboard. You can stay connected to important photos and files by accessing them on your phone, tablet or PC with SkyDrive. Just sign in to your Microsoft account and your desktop will appear with all your personal preferences and settings so you can keep working wherever you are. In addition to the enhanced built-in apps and features, you can also discover more of your favorite apps with access to the Windows Store, which puts Netflix, ESPN, Skype, Halo: Spartan Assault, and other features conveniently at your fingertips.

a decent OS on the back-end but user experience

Let's be honest, there aren't really any secrets about Windows 8.1 at this point. It works pretty well for the most part and in general is quite stable. If you are using a non-touch screen laptop, it can (depending on the machine) be a nightmare. Frequently (for me) the "Charms" and the "Metro Screen" pop up with a will of their own, when I am navigating the desktop with the touchpad (and rarely it will still happen when using a mouse). It is truly annoying but not exactly debilitating.
