Still beats reaching for the smartphone

Works great. Lots of nice updates since my prior Garmin unit. Fortunately the basic operations have not changed a lot and the unit is still very easy to work with. Lifetime maps are always a plus. Points of Interest have certainly expanded.

value and quality printing

Verified Purchase:Yes
My HP Photosmart up and died so I was in need of a new printer. Purchased this one primarily because of the sale price and some incentive offers. Have not really done much photo printing yet. All the other printing I have done more than meets expectations.
Main incentive at the time was the HP Instant Ink program. Nine months of 'free' ink. So far, so good with the program.

If you liked last year...

EA Sports NHL series really is the only game in town for hockey. NHL 18 is another solid release albeit just a small upgrade from 2017. Gameplay is solid and 'pretty'. I happen to like Be a Pro so I remain disappointed that I have to start from scratch every year. Be nice to at least carry over the basic player profile, (appearance and equipment). Do like the revised menus/navigation.
Bottom line, if you want current rosters, etc. then pay your annual fee to EA and buy NHL 18 - smile

Hopeful for updates
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: Randall
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes, everything looks amazing. Better sound. Improved navigation, (mostly). If you are a serious racer seeking online opponents, this should be a very satisfying game.
However.... A game that gets an extra year to 'polish' and it still requires a multi-gigabyte update right away! Not a good first impression. Where are the cars, the tracks, the offline races, and the fun? Mostly all gone. At this point I regret speeding over $700 to buy a PS4, steering wheel, stand, and game just to play Gran Turismo. Loved the prior version. Really hope future updates/addons bring back the components I really enjoyed.

It's ink. The cartridge either works or not. This one works as expected. Quality of print is great. 4 stars, only because of cost.

A basic tracker that works great
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: Randall
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am new to the whole fitness tracker scene and this is the first one I have ever purchased. I think my iPhone sorta counts steps, but I never use that app. For myself, the Fitbit Alta HR is just right. It fits well, has good battery life, and just plain works as expected. The associated app is easy to use and i really like the sleep analysis feature. The factory bands are so so, but some really nice and inexpensive bands can be found on Amazon. The unit is a little fussy when it comes to raising the arm to see the display and/or tapping to view various items. Does a nice job of reminding me to move. Overall it's a very nice device that helps me stay on track with some healthy habits.

When building on a budget, the EVGA 600W 80 PLUS is a great choice at a low cost. Supporting 49A on a single +12V rail provides more options without having to reduce your component requirements. Save space with the 600W's compact design, wellplaced power switch and fully sleeved cables. The 600W offers the connections and protections needed for basic system builds. With a standard 3 year warranty and ultra quiet fan design the 600W will be a great asset for your next build on a budget.

Been quite a while since I needed to purchase a power supply. This purchase came about when I decided to add a good video card to a new computer. Research turned up a lot of pros and cons for various power supplies that were available at my local Best Buy. Went for this one primarily because it fit my budget. Was quite pleased with the quality of the cables and connections that came with it. Installation was easy. Has run flawlessly and quiet for almost two months now. Very pleased.

Liking this new Asus desktop
on May 19, 2017
Posted by: Randall
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
Two caveats:
Only been a month or so since I purchased this computer.
Added a 2nd hard drive, and graphics card to it (and thus voided the warranty)
Am a fan of Asus motherboards and consumer computers. My previous Asus Pentium class machine pretty much reached end of life so I went for this model with the expectation that the i7 CPU will give me many years of acceptable performance. Knew I would want a 2nd hard drive and better graphics. Understood up front that opening the case would void any warranty. Since I used to build my own machines, felt okay to upgrade this one.
Straight up, out of the box this is a very fine and capable computer for most people. Specs are very good. Lots of memory, 1 TB drive plus a 256 G SSD. It's VERY quick to boot to a login screen.
One important consideration with the C: drive (the 256 G SSD). Want to be very careful when installing programs so that the drive does not fill up real quick. Pick a different drive if the installer allow it. Also a good idea to change the Windows 10 defaults for where you store docs, photos, downloads, etc. My little tip - Smile
If you want to add a graphics card, like I did, be aware that the power supply will have to be replaced with a more capable one. Adding a second hard drive requires moving the SSD up one shelf. No way to add a second optical drive. Certainly not the right computer for someone interested in using it as the starting point for a super rig.
Overall I am very pleased with this computer and expect it will serve me well for many years.

Commodity drive that just works

Fine, basic, solid desktop drive. Performance is more than acceptable. As I recall, this one spins at 7200 which makes it a bit quicker. Occasionally I hear it spin up but mostly it's very quiet.
The utility program you can download is not great, but it *should* work well enough to copy from another drive. In my case the source drive had an issue so I needed a more robust utility program.
Great drive for the price.
