These are very small, diecast versions of the toys

I really like these cars, they are exaggerated in shape but in a way that is appealing. Unlike the ones that are sold for more money at Target, they are metal, and have wheels that spin. The blind bag is annoying but you can usually tell which one you’re getting if you have the patience. They are much too small for a little child though and are a definite choking hazard.

The nice thing about this particular drive is that it can be left in the USB port when the computer is packed in a bag. That helps keep me from losing it :-).

If portability is slightly more important than typing ease this is great. It connects well and the buttons have a very nice feel. It isn't quite as ergonomic as a regular keyboard but hooks up reliably and is super portable. I don't regret mine at all.

I had this put in a fairly tiny tower. An Asus rog tower. It uses low power for such a fast card and doesn't over heat. I can play every game at very high resolution and it doesn't overheat. Great product. Best buy also gave me 10% off as a promotion for my birthday. I'm very happy

I use Google for navigation since it avoids traffic. This makes it easy to operate the phone for music and to read the maps.

Wonderful as a home media center.

Mine is connected to a 4k TV which it can more than handle (roughly equal to 4 1080p monitors). So text looks crisp and sharp. I play games in 1080p (the next model up with a GTX 970 is probably worth the premium if you're a gamer) and my daughter watched European Blurays in German with it. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Sling, and HBO Now all work as well so I got rid of cable. In short, it is a wonderful PC and small enough that it can fit in a cabinet.

You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

Took me some time to get used to it but a fine gam

Nice graphics. Interesting world with cool npc's. It took a while before I understood what I was supposed to do and some of the character updates are a bit overwhelming. I am maybe a quarter through the game and the game is growing on me more and more. It is similar mechanically to Batman or Assassins Creed. The innovative part of the game is that the Orks you kill decides who becomes stronger and therefore everyone will play through slightly differently. Overall I'd say it's a top game if you aren't going to be playing COD, AC or GTA constantly over the next 2 months. Otherwise you may not have the time to get into it.

I've been able to backup movies that I own and make a movie catalogue that plays on my Xbox one. I had a question about how to set subtitles and it was answered within 24 hours by email - a pleasant surprise.

what is fusion drive

It is part flash memory and part hard drive. Flash is faster and smaller but much more expensive. A Fusion drive puts key files on the fast parts and occasional files on the slow part.

memory upgrade for hp envy h8 1534

i bought a hp envy h8 1534 at best buy in rogers, ar a couple of years ago. Right now it has the 10 gb that it came with. I would like to upgrade it to 32 gb but i don't know anything about that sort of thing. i was reading something about 12800 ddr3 1600 or 10600 1333 memory cards would be good. i don't know if there is a specific brand that is for hp desktop. i don't want to change the power source because that will be something else i don't know how to do. i also would like to upgrade the graphics card but have no idea about that at all.
I have no way of telling what is in your machine or what you want to do with it but prices are very good this year and I'd encourage you to pick out what you want to be able to do with the computer and pick one out that has the right processor and video card for the task. You could also take the comp to geek squad to see what might fit in your machine with regard to video or memory

Are there any issues with power?

I've been stalking this general PC for a while now and have seen it with different specs ect., and for one "version" the power supply is described as "230W+180W Adapter." That's only.. 410W while both the GTX 760 (which was included with the aforementioned "version") and the 960 recommend 500W. Is that enough to run everything?

Additionally, what even is the deal for the power with this one? I can't find any mention anywhere other than "2 adapters" or whatever.

Thanks!
I've had no issues at all. The power supplies are external, so it is smaller than many towers. The video card has its own power supply - hence 2. I love the computer and I use it with a 4k TV. There is now a model with a 970 graphics card. For games it is worth an extra $100

Does this computer have bluetooth? Is a free upgrade to Win 10?

Mine came with 8 and it is easy to update now. Just google it and you'll be led to the site for the download. 10 is a very solid improvement.

can you hook up 3 additional monitors?

Can you add 3 additional monitors to this computer? If so, what additional accessories are required, (besides additional monitors). Thanks.
You don't get wires at all. There is one HDMI and 3 display ports. So you would need wires and monitors that are compatible.

AutoCad compatible?

From everything I'm reading it is I just want a second opinion.
Short of top of the line gaming graphics , this is a pretty stout computer. I don't know how much ram cad gobbles but opening the case voids the warranty so the 16 gb need to be enough, at least for a year.

Can the power be switched to 240v?

I would assume so. Most modern computers use a power supply that is compatible with both and the last few feet of wire is interchangeable.

GE JES0736SPSS Compact Microwave: Practical and simple to use, this compact microwave is a good fit for a small apartment kitchen, dorm room, snack area or anywhere else where space is limited.
 

what is the amps

How many amps does this unit pull?
I don't remember specifically but it had several hundred more than ones that were tiny and only slightly less expensive. So it seemed to have good "nuke" for the buck. I want to say 1100 but its been a month since I purchased.
