Best purchase in a long time
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: ob12
Verified Purchase:Yes
The laptop was purchased for my son who is in the middle of mechanical engineering degree course work at school. The laptop has plenty of power for running the applications he needs for school, plus it has a discrete video chip for running games during down time. The unit is fast, agile, quiet and thin. The laptop has probably been the best money I have spent in at least a decade.

Good phone

I have no complaints, the phones work fine and seem to hold a charge better than my previous set. I took a point off because the buttons are sometimes weird where you hit the caller ID or voice message button and they do something else, like bring up the ring tone menu. Otherwise, good phone.

Meh

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up a new headset because my old one was not playing all sounds in certain games, like overwatch ultimate ability sounds, and I figured the old USB headset I had just wasn't cutting it, (I had owned them for 5 years). The new ones work slightly better, but are generally "meh" with respect to all other areas. They fit ok, but not great. They sound ok, but not great. The cord is pretty short for a PC headset also, and the cord wiggles up into a ball/blob when there is slack, which isn't very often.

I purchased the adapter so I could replace an existing 2TB spinning disk with a new 5TB spinning disk. The unit plugged into the USB3 port and power outlet and worked great. I was able to copy the 1.8TB of data files at roughly 50MBps, so it did not take long. the unit performed flawlessly and I would recommend purchase.

The keyboard is just plain excellent for what I use it for currently. I play quite a few games on the PC and the feel and reaction of the key presses are the best I have used. While I wouldn't say it has made me a better game player, it definitely has not made me worse. I also like to use this keyboard for work stuff as well, although the light show can get overwhelming while doing Visio stuff.

Nice front door camera
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: ob12
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this camera to watch the front door, for guests and package deliveries. We spend most of our time in the lower level of our house while the front door is on the upper level. I had originally tried a video doorbell but we could never get them to work for one reason or another. This unit worked out of the box instantly. Very little setup was needed. While the camera itself is not an outdoor camera, we have it mounted via its very strong magnet to the front door which is under a large covered porch. It works great. It worked great with my Netgear R8000 wireless router. The video is beyond good in my opinion. The push to talk and speaker on the unit work great. The only thing I could only wish for would be to view the camera on a browser on my PC, because currently it only supports being viewed from the smart phone app.

I was having problems with my older Virgin Mobile phone the ZTE/Virgin Supreme as it would not run several applications like my Logi Circle camera software or my electric smoker app. This phone was new on the market when I purchased it and I must say, it is fantastic. While it isn't as powerful as the actual Samsung Galaxy or Note products, it is still an octa-core phone with plenty of memory. I love the phone and the features it has for the price.

Great Drive
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: ob12
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased two of these drives for use as boot drives in two different systems and they are working flawlessly. The clean installation went well and the systems have been running great. I was replacing older smaller SSD units with these new units. While the performance specs and cool factor was not as high as other drives, I am extremely happy with my purchase. The way the drive utilizes the better NAND units to buffer writes seems to be working very well.

Great Router
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: ob12
Verified Purchase:Yes
The X8 has performed very well since installation. The unit was also very easy to install and setup. I am using the smart connect feature which seems to increase throughput quite a bit over independent wireless names. The only small issue that I have encountered was the video doorbell I have requires the cell phone to be on the 2.4 GHz for setup, and even with the router in the basement, I cannot get my phone to connect to the 2.4 over the 5. Its a good problem to have I guess.

Good microwave

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this microwave because ours died on xmas eve. I went to get another similar unit/brand, but they were sold out at the time. I bought this on a whim and it is much better than my last unit. The cook/reheat times are great as you would expect from a unit of this size and it doesn't have that annoying reminder beep if you don't take your food out.

Will this work with a Linux workstation?

I have a dual boot PC hat is used mostly for Linux. Will this accessory work ok if I plug it into the USB ports and try to read or write to it? I know regular flash drives work fine.
As long as the drive you put into the device is formatted in a Linux compatible format, yes it will.

7.1 channels. 0.0 wires.Enjoy legendary audio with zero hassle. You get 2.4GHz wireless freedom at up to 40 feet, and ten hours of uninterrupted gaming at a time. Genuine Dolby 7.1 surround gives you lethally accurate positional audio, and the 50mm neodymium drivers produce staggering bass, highs, and dynamic range. Marathon gaming sessions are easy with the microfiber-wrapped earpads, and you'll be heard loud and clear with the unidirectional noise-cancelling microphone.
 

Corsair -does it randomly disconnect/ reconnect like Logitech G930?

Logitech says it's gotta me be after 4 headset replacements. I have a Asus G75VW gaming laptop with OS 7 and 3.0 USB but Logitech says it's my side, not their poopy headset. Problem didn't start until like a week of ownership and every headset has been the same, or started showing issues sooner. I'd love to own wireless, how reliable is this Corsair?
We had the same problem with those cans, so we bought these instead. While the sound is not as good IMO, it does not disconnect. These cans are far more reliable and have not disconnected in a months use. Much better in that regard over the G930's.
