Left at the store when I bought the PC

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a free limited-time subscription that came with the Alienware PC we bought. After the trial time runs out, you need to pay yearly subscription fee to continue using it. Since I already get Norton free from my cable/internet provider and have Microsoft Defender that comes with Windows 10, I didn't even take it home. If you don't currently have a good security program available for your new PC, it would be a good way to test a product for free to see if you like it.

Great value for a digital optical cable

The right-length cable for my application at the right price. Used it to connect the audio out from my flat-panel TV to my audio/video receiver so I could stream content on the TV and listen to the sound through my multi-media system.

Great resolution, but doesn't come out of sleep

Verified Purchase:Yes
We got this monitor with an Alienware Aurora R5 gaming PC at the recommendation of the sales person. At first, it seemed like a really good deal for an Nvidia G-Sync monitor. However, the monitor doesn't come out of sleep mode when you move the mouse (or press keys on the keyboard) as other monitors do. I looked on the forums and found a bunch of people with the same issue and all the Dell/Alienware rep on the forum could suggest was to try a bunch of work-arounds, like pressing buttons on the bottom of the monitor and turn off deep sleep (which I tried and it didn't help). Only other option was to turn off sleep for the monitor. Finally concluded that this monitor has badly designed software and we didn't want to live with a bunch of work-arounds. Returned it to Best Buy and got the slightly smaller ASUS ROG G-Sync monitor, which we are very happy with.

Great value for a fast gaming PC

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Alienware PC is an excellent value for a gaming PC. While the components are not all top level, it has a great balance of features that allow all the games we play (such as Guild Wars 2 and No Man's Sky) to run at max settings with very good frame rates.
Set up was very easy and there have been no issues since we got it over a month ago.

This impressive work from acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki represents a significant departure from traditional anime. Foregoing the gritty storylines, extreme violence, and adult content found throughout many anime, Miyazaki's works borrow as much from fairy tales as they do from science fiction. Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind is no exception. Centuries after nuclear war has devastated the earth, Princess Nausicaa leads the people of the Valley of the Wind. Feuding clans fight with planes and tanks as well as swords in a world that is both primitive and futuristic. In addition to her people's conflicts with other factions, Nausicaa must also contend with the Ohmu, a race of giant, intelligent insects living in a forest overrun by a glowing mutant fungus that poisons the atmosphere. This two disc special edition is rendered in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and is playable in English or in Japanese with optional English subtitles with audio tracks that are THX-Certified, including THX Optimizer. This release also comes with complete storyboards, original Japanese trailers, a featurette on Studio Ghibli, and a behind-the-scenes segment on voice acting with Alison Lohman, Uma Thurman, Patrick Stewart, and Wdward James Olmos from the English voice cast.

Small powerful WiFi extender

Verified Purchase:Yes
I plugged this unit upstairs to extend the range of my Nighthawk C7000 modem/router/WAP located downstairs in a very large house. The extender now covers all the areas missed by the router, including the garage for both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands.
Really like the design. The whole unit plugs directly into a standard AC wall outlet and even leaves the other outlet accessible.

Compact, full-featured modem/router/WAP
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: PCGamePilot
from Vancouver, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this modem/router after reading a lot of reviews on the web. Hoped it would be able to broadcast a strong enough WiFi signal from inside my network cabinet. Unfortunately, I had to run the wires outside the cabinet and place the the unit on the closet shelf above the cabinet. After doing that, the 2.4GHz signal easily reaches throughout our very large house and the 5GHz signal covers 1/2 - 2/3 of the house. Much better than our older router. The issue inside the network cabinet might have been due to the steel cabinet side and back walls. It may not have been able to "beam form" through the steel and couldn't reach everything through the plastic door.
Also bought the Nighthawk WiFi extender and plugged it in upstairs. After doing that, we have great WiFi coverage at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz throughout the entire house and the garage.

Just plugged it into PC and it worked

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this HD to back up my media collection. It appeared in the file manager as an external HD right after plugging it into a USB 2.0 port without the need to load any drivers or app software. All I had to do was drag and drop my media directories in the file manager. The copy process was a bit slow, since my PC doesn't have a USB 3.0 port.
I do not plan on using the included backup software, so am not able to review it.

Does it have a separate ssid ?

Yes, it does. It creates a separate SSID derived from your existing SSID and keeps your same WiFi password.

is a driver required

I plugged the drive into a Windows 10 PC and no driver was required for it to show up and be usable in the file manager. It includes software from Seagate, but I did not install it.

dus this take photo that i can look up on comp.?

No, it just lets you see whom is present and whom isn't. I named the sensor with the person's name, so I know if John is home and Jane isn't.

can you hook up standard vhs and dvd to this tv

This TV has a component video input. If your DVD player has a component video output, you can connect it. There is only one input, so can only connect one other device, unless you feed everything to the TV through an AV receiver.
