This computer is so powerful and so quiet. It is the quietest computer I have ever owned. The graphics are fantastic. I can finally play SimCity on full graphics and it runs with ease. It is also my home office computer with plenty of computing power and speed to have multiple website windows open while streaming music, wirelessly printing, and running spreadsheets at the same time. I've had it for about three weeks now and couldn't be happier with it. This is my first ASUS computer.

Have to charge batteries several times per day

I was offered this mouse by a Best Buy manager in good faith because the one I ordered online to pick up in store could not be found in the store. This one was much more expensive than the one I initially ordered, so I figured I'd try it out at such a discounted price. Well, turns out I hate it. It is sculpted for an ergonomic fit to your hand, except it doesn't fit well. In order for it to be comfortable, my hand (average size male) has to fully encapsulate the mouse. The problem then becomes that the scroll wheel is set too far back to use. I have to keep my hand slid way back on the mouse, making it ergonomically incorrect. A second issue is with the wi-fi. I have an ASUS dual band AC gigabit router, which is pretty high quality. When I print wirelessly though, the mouse gets really jumpy and erratic. Finally, the batteries are rechargeable and drain super fast, which means I have to plug in the mouse via usb to the computer to recharge; basically turning it into a wired mouse. The usb cord is too short, so it makes it hard to charge and use at the same time. I will be passing this mouse off to my kids and will try out the one I initially was going to buy, the bluetooth Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Wireless Mouse.

Seems To Work Pretty Well

I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have this set up in my home office. I get good wireless speeds on my office laptop, but the PS3 wireless speeds in another room are not very good. Traveling in a straight line, the PS3 is about 30 feet from the router, but there are walls in between. My WD MyNet AC1300 died after a year so I got this to replace it. Hopefully it will last longer. It does seem to cause interference in my nearby desktop speakers, which no other router I've ever owned has done.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, better looking than most routers
What's not so great: Wireless speeds vary from device to device

How exactly does the internet/online play work with these newer laptops? Do you have to get internet from a certain provider or is it something else?
Yes. The internet is like the road that you drive on and the laptop is like the car that drives on the road. You need to get internet from an internet service provider, usually via cable companies or phone companies. Then you connect your laptop to your internet connection and you're ready to go.

The Dell 24” FHD monitor is beautifully designed to sit easily into any space ready for your everyday lifestyle. Built-in dual HDMI ports keep your devices always plugged in. The three-sided ultrathin bezel design lets you enjoy superb screen clarity in 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution.

Do you need to purchase any connections to connect to the main computer? If you have a monitor already hooked up (it is now broken) would you be able to use those connections?
You must connect this to your computer via HDMI cable, which is provided in the box. If you need to connect with a different cable, I would look for a different monitor.

What size fan is being used on the back of the computer case? Also, on top of the case, it looks like another place to mount fans, what size are those mounts?
The one in back is 3.5". I think the top mount is 4".

Lighten household chores with this SHARK® ION™ vacuum system. The lithium-ion battery supplies a long-lasting charge, and the 0.66-quart dust cup and HEPA filter collect dirt, hair, and dander to prevent allergen buildup. This SHARK® ION™ vacuum system comes with a built-in power vacuum to help with those extra cleaning jobs.
Does this one map a grid to use each time like the robot one? Thanks
No it doesn't. It has a random pattern that allows it to go over areas more than once, thus making the cleaning more effective.

Listen to your music wherever you're most comfortable with these Sennheiser RS 185 RF over-the-ear headphones, which offer a wireless range up to 328' that lets you move about freely. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit.
What does "open back " mean? Are they cooler (temp) to wear?
It means the sound comes out through the back of the speaker. Others around you will be able to hear what you are listening to. They aren't any cooler to wear.

Keep your focus on the road with this Garmin Speak voice service device. Amazon Alexa is integrated and takes voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel, and it connects to your vehicle's stereo system to provide spoken turn-by-turn directions. This Garmin Speak voice service device is compact, so it doesn't obstruct your view.
Is this a different product than the recent new Alexa? If so, one has to have both:on for the car and the other for home, correct? Thank you.
This is a navigation product made by Garmin for your car that also has Alexa built in. The intent is for this product to stay in your car, so you would need a different Alexa product for your home.
