Sturdy and Easy to Put Together

I found this stand to be pretty easy to put together and extremely sturdy. It is also looks good. Just note that it is extremely heavy. Once it's where you need it to go you're golden, but setup was difficult navigating small corridors to get it there.

Nothing much to say, other than these work as advertised and I think the 2 pack is a good deal.

Great soundbar option
on April 13, 2018
Posted by: callmeageeth

Verified Purchase:Yes
This syncs up nicely with my Sony TV, and the sound is terrific. No, it doesn't beat true 5.1 or 7.2 surround sound, but when your space is limited (or installation options) sound bars are a great way to go. I love that the subwoofer can be plugged into the wall and connects wirelessly to the soundbar. Really gives you flexibility when installing.

This TV is phenomenal, from ease of use the picture quality, it is a top notch choice. I really have no complaints. I realize you can get cheaper 4K TVs, but I do tend to stick to my favorite brands and Sony is one of them. This is a quality TV with all of the bells and whistles, you can't go wrong.

Great Gaming Performance, but pricey
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I need to start by stating that I am not a computer whizz and am new to the PC gaming scene. I know how to use one pretty well, but I don't know how the parts work together and why a certain type of RAM is better than another or how to overclock the processor. I know enough to be dangerous, like the parts that make up a computer (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.) but I've never built my own computer. I've always wanted to, but I've always been a console gamer. It was easier to get into and much less pricey. And I know PC gamers generally claim the graphically performance as being superior to console gaming, but if you've never experienced it, how do you know what you're missing?
Anyways, PC gaming is booming with eSports. Everywhere you go, from Target to Best Buy has their own section (albeit sometimes small, but still it's there) of gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, etc. I also like to edit 4K videos on the computer using Adobe Elements, which my laptop could handle, but I thought it would be nice to have a nice desktop that do it all: play games with cutting edge graphics, edit videos and do actual work from home (I'm an attorney) when necessary.
I should also mention this is just the computer, and doesn't include a monitor. I purchased a Dell 27 inch QHD gaming monitor with G-Sync (to help with frame rates) and purchased Alienware gaming mouse and keyboard to replace the cheap ones bundled with the computer. (I'm a big fan of the lighting on the computer and keyboard and mouse, it's pretty cool and something non-PC gamers don't see on a regular basis). But keep in mind that my experience is seen through the lens of an awesome monitor which I highly recommend getting if you're going to go so far and buy this Alienware Aurora.
All-in-all, this Alienware PC hits on most major notes. My biggest gripes, at least from the gaming aspect, is personal to me, and that's: how do you game? In a console, you put in a disc or go to the PS or Xbox store and buy a game. On a PC, it feels like a different ballgame. I heard of Steam so I immediately downloaded it. It was pretty seamless but for the fact that it takes hours to download games (depending on your internet connection) and you can't play until it is completely downloaded. It's also a major shift going from controller to keyboard and mouse. I must say, I like it, but it can get confusing to those unaccustomed or used to making changes to keyboard settings. I know you can play with a controller but I do actually prefer the precision of a mouse.
In terms of gaming, I started by buying Bioshock Infinite (because it was cheap and I love the game) as well as Far Cry 5. Despite Bioshock being some 5 years old, it looked stunning in QHD with Ultra settings. HOWEVER, I noticed a lot of stuttering on these settings. Again, I go back to my original comment about now having intimate knowledge about PC gaming; I just assumed this computer could handle the highest settings. On Infinite, I found it couldn't, at least not consistently. Now, I still played on the highest settings if for no other reason than it was absolutely stunning, and I simply fought through the stutters. These issues arose even with Dell GSync monitor, but it could have simply been user error. When I first played the game on an actual TV in 1080P resolution, the game played fluidly. I'm sure if I turned the settings down jsut a notch everything would have been fine.
Now, onto Far Cry 5. It. Was. Gorgeous. The settings weren't all the way jacked up, but I was simply blown away by the quality. Honestly, it was tough going back to my PS4 after that. I enjoyed just looking around at the scenery as much as I enjoyed playing. It was buttery smooth. Again, I purchased this game through Steam. I haven't purchased any other games by any other means, yet.\
While this PC is clearly aimed towards gaming, I would be remissed not to comment on its performance in other areas. Editing 4K footage (taken from GoPro Hero5) on Adobe Elements was for the most part, flawless. The biggest performance gains (compared to my 2 year old Acer Aspire R) was the amount of time it took to create a finished 4K product. The speed it took to accomplish that feat blew my Acer Aspire out the water.
My biggest and really only complaint, was the speed in which it takes to boot the darn thing up. This Alienware Aurora supposedly has some Intel Octane memory, which I admittedly don't know what purpose it serves, but I don't see much improved performance based on startup speeds. In my Acer Aspire, I put a 1 TB SSD in it and the thing turns on and off almost instantly. Not the case with the Alienware Aurora. Last night for example, it took almost 4 solid minutes (yes I timed it) to turn on and get to the login screen. This is unacceptable. Now in reality I don't turn it off much, but I expect better performance from such a high powered machine.
As far as expandability, I haven't done anything yet, but I did open it up to see how easy it would be to add another HDD. It's dead simple, you unscrew a bolt and it swings open for easy access. For someone unaccustomed to customizing a PC (but still interested in the option to do so in the future) this is a big plus. It also has a ton of ports, like some dozen or so (I don't remember specific count) of USB ports. I assume this is to account for the number of USB ports needed for VR headsets. I have a PSVR and don't plan on investing in a Oculus or HTC Vive anytime soon.
I did like the dedicated ports for surround sound speakers. I mostly game and use my computer with a USB headset because I play at night when my family is asleep, but when I get my basement complete I fully intend on utilizing surround sound speakers. This sure beats using a headphone jack for speakers (or even USB).
At the end of the day, a good PC gaming system is expensive. So if you're even reading this, chances are you are ready to invest the money to get a good computer. For those like me that are new to PC gaming, this is a simple (but more than console plug and play) way to get started with PC gaming. It's a powerful computer with one of the top end graphics cards that can handle most anything you throw at it. Plus, it's a trusted brand that makes quality products which I believe to be an important factor when purchasing anything that costs this much.
If you want to PC game and can afford it, buy this computer. But know that it has a learning curve in order to take full advantage of its potential. I would also recommend a QHD monitor to go with it, but...it's hard to ever go back.

Awesome gaming mouse

Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I must be honest, I purchased this to go along with my Alienware branded computer. I didn't find it too expensive, but it certainly wasn't cheap. I'm a casual gamer so all of the DPI specs can be lost on me. This works great, is very responsive, long cable, I have absolutely no complaints. Could you get away with a cheaper gaming mouse? Probably, but if you want to stick to the style of your Alienware computer this is the one to get.

Good Basic Kit

Verified Purchase:Yes
These might not be AS sturdy as the GoPro branded accessories but you just cannot beat the price. I realize that selling accessories is probably GoPro's bread and butter but they are way too overpriced. This kit is priced exceptionally well and it has just about everything the average user would need/want.

Must buy accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Karma, and even though I've gotten the hang of flying it, I finally hit a branch that broke a propeller. Do yourself a favor and buy a pack of these so you aren't stuck unable to fly when you get to your destination. I've seen these break when stored in the bag (when still attached to the drone, which I don't recommend doing).

Best way for 4K Picture
on April 2, 2018
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
Don't rely on streaming to get 4K resolution, it's too finicky. Sure it's cheaper, but Ultra Blu-Ray is the way to go. This is a fantastic budget model (look for it on sale) that works as intended. The menu system is old and 1990s Netscape-ish but it works fine. I honestly don't bother with it because I stream Netflix (and other services) via Fire Stick.
MY ONLY SUGGESTION! Do your research on HDCP 2.2. I found out that hard way that my 4K receiver doesn't have any, so the only way I get true 4K content is to plug the player directly into my TV (which is why there's two HDMI on the back, one goes to receiver for sound the other to the TV).

Awesome sound, life of the party
on March 28, 2018
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I recently used this speaker at a party with some friends and was surprised that it was such the conversation piece. My friends were commenting on the colors and "strobe light' effects and how they matched the beat. They are a nice touch to a party because they aren't too overwhelming. What I mean is, you look at the speaker and you have cool (but otherwise not serving a functional purpose lights) but when you look away, it's not like you're at the discotech and the lights are shot across the room.
Other than the obvious lights, this speaker stands out in a crowded market for two main reasons, the battery life and sound quality. I have been using this this bad boy for days (sometimes hours and hours each day) and it hasn't died. What I don't like about the battery life, but is simply a minor point, is that there is no battery life gauge on the speaker. You must look at your phone (assuming it has a BT battery meter, to determine the level).
This speaker packs a punch. I'm no audiophile, but the bass is tight and responsive. It's not too overwhelming. I've played all sorts of music through it and they all sound great. Classical and jazz sounds great too. The volume is astounding for a small speaker, this speaker can serve at outdoor parties and project across the yard. It has a "Live" button on the speaker which seems to try to represent listening to a concert, which is an effect achieved through some sort of sound engineering wizardry. I could tell the difference when using this mode, and I wasn't disappointed, I just didn't find it useful, I stuck to my native music.
Either you are a fan of the blue fabric look or not, and I like it. It seems like nowadays your stuck between the "rugged" speaker and some kind of fabric. This Sony speaker is a nice blend of both. It doesn't have the rubber shock protectors, but it is a fabric look and feel but is also rugged in its own way; water and dirt resistant. I wouldn't drop it in water, but it can handle the normal elements when using outside.
It also comes with a USB charging port to charge your phone, which I've never used, but is nice to have in a pinch. AS I said, the battery life on this speaker is amazing so it is nice to be able to steal a little juice for a phone in certain circumstances. It also has an AUX out port which again, I don't use, but I like having in backup situations.
My really only complaints are twofold and one is situation dependent. One is the length of time it takes to charge this bad boy. I've only charged it twice, and maybe I'm used to fast charging on my Pixel but man does it take a long time. The next is the size of the speaker. Clearly it's portable, but it's definitely getting to the medium to large size range that makes it teeter on portability depending on certain situations. I recommend seeing it in person so you can gauge it. For example, I wouldn't throw this in my luggage to go on a flight, but I would throw it in the back of my car during a road trip. And it also depends if you even own a smaller BT speaker.
All in all, this is a terrific sounding speaker made with the typical Sony quality. I've had no BT interruptions or skips yet (I'm not saying it's impervious to them, just noting I haven't had any issues) and the battery life is amazing. If you're looking for a fun speaker (i.e. the party lights) this should be at the top of the list, despite the hefty price. The quality in both sound and build is worth it.

Take aerial shots with this GoPro Karma drone. Its Karma Stabilizer lets the included HERO5 Black action camera capture shake-free videos, while the Karma Grip provides reliable stabilization for handheld and mounted filming. The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?
Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?
I can't confirrm that it will work sims from other countries (depends on bandwidths) but I can absolutely confirm that putting a T-Mobile sim into this phone will work. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer!

Charge 2 GoPro lithium-ion batteries simultaneously with this GoPro AHBBP-301 charger that reliably draws power from select USB chargers, USB-enabled computers or GoPro wall or vehicle chargers (not included), so you can keep your camera ready for use.
Does this have the cable to connect charger to computer? Is there a cord that connects camera directly to computer or wall charger for charging? I think we lost ours.
It comes with a mini-USB cable which you can plug into your computer (I wouldn't recommend because of slow charging) and a wall charger. The same mini-USB cable plugs directly into the camera itself
