Good color but has button issues
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this because "ooh it's blue!" It is indeed a nice color. And it works. But the buttons are rather dark and you cannot see the A/B/X/Y letters on the buttons very well at all. In fact I ended up with other players not liking me because I was slow on what button to push. I still work by sight not feel.
If you know what buttons are what without looking, get it. If you look down at the buttons to see the letters on them, choose the white controller.

Latest xbox has so many features and a few limits
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from the 360 and love that I have pass through HDMI, a much smaller footprint, and great lines. I did research on the internal parts and it's a good unit.
The issues I have are because the controls are a tad different, and the menu is wildly different. But this I can adopt to, and I will get better.
I got the version with Minecraft. I had expected it to have Minecraft but instead it had download codes. So much for turning it on and playing. I had to do a system update that took HOURS on a 150mbps download link! Grrr! Then I had to enter codes to download, and Microsoft had issues for the week and I had to wait. Not the end of the word but frustrating.
Then I noticed that the 500GB hard drive is going to be full in no time. Seems everything is a download or install no and does not run from the disc. For that reason I would get the 2TB model if I bought again.
Getting the 360 was a lot more impressive back in the day, Get it, but get the 2TB model.

Very good all around lens
on December 2, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
Quite the all-around lens. I prefer the G Master lenses but when I want to be a tourist with one lens the choices are limited. For wide angles I have always loved the 24mm over the 28mm. It's a world of difference. I have had a 35-350mm but desperately needed a wider lens. 24-200 would be great and the extra 40mm is nice. The lens is a bit slow but still very good. It is meant for bright outdoors -- typical tourist days. It's not up to G Master but that's not its purpose. Great all around lens that makes sure to cover the wide spectrum nicely.

Your basic 4TB HDD
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
Face it, drives today are all the same. It is a 4TB HDD. It has a different design and is "new." Well always go for new, even a few months newer may mean updates system capacitors or other anomalies that have been fine tuned. I know it looks different with the funny design, but that's not why I got it. I like that is is the latest. I see they have different colors too, so that is neat. Keep the kids from fighting.
The best thing is that it is powered by the PC, you do not need an AC outlet like with larger drives. Yipee.

Um, no.
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4k screen is nice. The weight is nice. It looks nice. Now I had issues installing software. I crashed and got the message "inaccessible boot device." I ended up returning it.
There are 2 ports on the left side that are USB-C. But they are not USB3.1, they are only 3.0. And one of them only charges. WHAT IS THE POINT?
The reviews talk about the watchband hinge and how cool you will look using it. Um, no. I do not buy a computer to look cool using it. I buy it to do work and enjoy the Internet.
If you want to look cool using a computer I suppose you can get this. or buy a computer that has more ports that do more things ad take the extra money and buy a puppy. Then you will still look cool.

I have a bucket of mice
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
But this is my favorite. Ever since mice were $99 I have had a mouse. Now they are $5 in places. I have had laser mice and all sorts of special effect gaming mice. I ended up giving most of them away. This one is sweet.
The thumb that normally rests on the table rests on a special thumb button. You can use this mouse all day with no discomfort. You can also set the scroll wheel to click or not to click as you use it. Very nice.
The fact is recharges via USB us new to me but east to do. It lasts several weeks on a charge but I plug it in on a weekend night and I'm good for a while. You can also mate it with three PCs total to use elsewhere without reprogramming.

Does it's job....

But to convert only to HDMI is leaving out a lot of options. For this price you can get models that have HDMI, DVI, and VGA all in one. And i=the versatility is nice. This one locks you to HDMI only. I can see myself replacing it soon.

Elite-X makes ALL the difference
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a quick flash drive for work and I saw two 128GB drives ony $2 apart, of the same brand. What gives? Turns out one is 105mbps and the other is 185. Okay for $2 let me try this out.
WAY FAST. Do not even consider the slower attache 4" drive. Get the Elite-X!
It copies files so fast that I thought they were simply cached and not really copied. So I turned off the cache and nope, this is fast! I never knew how slow the older USB flash drives were until today. You will be getting rid of older slower drives.

The most complete system ever
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
This PC has it all. I needed to replace my Asus I got 5 years ago. When I saw this one I was shocked that it did not cost another thousand dollars. We have SSD and HDD both! Then add 16GB of memory and a 2-in-1 folding screen. But it gets better, it is a 4k screen and even has a lightning port! I love this little guy! USB3 all the way around, HDMI, and wow is it fast to start up.
Now it has clean lines, you cannot pop out the battery like in the old units. But has anyone ever done that? It has a separate number pad, you really get used to those things.
AND IT HAS A BACKLIT KEYBOARD. That is so needed and I am happy to report this has that as well. It has it all. I cannot think of anything I would add. Except Windowd 10 Pro, but I can upgrade that myself.
The speakers sound great, in fact there is a small "can" that sits by the PC and really adds base to it.
This PC will easily last me 5 more years. I was in Best Buy so much that I know I was getting on the salesmen's nerves. But I am glad I persevered.

Definitely a great mount to own
on January 16, 2015
Posted by: aorobert
Verified Purchase:Yes
This mount is VERY secure. I removed the springy part on the top and opted to simply have it stuck flat to my arm. The mount is Velcro and very wide, wrapping around my arm and definitely staying put. I wore it on roller coasters and rides at Knott's and if the staff saw it they made me take it off, but trust me this is not going anywhere. It's as good as nailed down. Wearing it for the day was very comfortable. I have no doubt this unit will survive anything that you can throw at it. I debated buying this or a short "selfie stick" or other sorts of mounts, but this is indeed the way to go. I made the right choice and am glad I picked this.

Sony G Master FE 85 mm F1.4 GM Full-Frame E-Mount Mid-range Telephoto Lens: Take on the tough assignments with the Sony 85mm F1.4 GM Prime lens in your bag. Ring drive SSM easily powers the heavy lens, and an 11-blade aperture creates smoothly transitioned bokeh. Nano AR coating reduces glare, ghosting and scratching making the Sony 85mm F1.4 GM Prime lens a prime candidate for outdoor shoots.
 

I echo the question. When will this be available. Best Buy is sold out online and none of the stores has it. even Amazon does not have this.

Keep trying. I found it online and availability will increase as time goes on.

How fast does this lens focus and how well does this lens do in low light? Is it a good portrait lens or primarily a landscape lens?

For a portrait lens you need a wider aperture, prefer 2.8 or faster, in order to get the proper depth of field control.

What is the largest file size you can put on the drive? I have other flash drives you can't put a file larger than 7 gigs on at one time. I'v been told it is because of the fat32 used on them. If you format them your TV can't see the files on it

Format the drive NTFS and you can add larger files than 2GB. The limit is the file structure not the drive itself.
