I've always been impressed with the performance, and screen clarity in Samsung's products. This thing flies, and looks extremely crisp (usually the first thing people point out). Great fingerprint reader, long battery life, a nice large screen, and kept the SD Card reader.
My only gripes are:
1. For some reason, Samsung thought Apple had a good idea with the 4:3 aspect ratio. This was an INCREDIBLY STUPID move. Why would I want to watch all my movies, TV shows, and videos in letterbox format??? Is this 1995, or something? Who in Samsung though: "Hey, if change the aspect ratio, customers would love only using 3/4s of the screen when watching video entertainment!"
...Samsung, not everything Apple does is an intelligent move.

2. Price... $400 on sale? Really? And you want $150 to attach a flawed keyboard? I loved my 8.4 PRO, and that was $245 when I bought it. I gladly would have just taken an upgrade to that instead, but Samsung has two classes: Abysmal resolution (low end), and super resolution (high end).
3. No haptic feedback (vibration motor). Couldn't they have left it for gaming, etc? Guess they wanted it to be thinner, but it's not any thinner than my 8.4 pro was?
I left it at 5 stars, because my complaints are fairly minor (even though 4:3 really ticks me off), and won't be shared by everyone. It could be conceivable that my opinions are simply "my opinions" (go figure), and overally it's a top of the line Android device.
My Best Buy number: 0812537480
I would recommend this to a friend!

Be baffled no longer!

The e-series is what I consider to be still in the range of "abysmal resolution." We are talking about 1280x800. My 8.4 pro had a resolution of 1600x2560, so it would be a significant downgrade.
My reasoning behind choosing Samsung is due to my close relationship with Samsung for quality products for my kitchen, to my tablets, to my phone (Note 5). As for productivity, I own a Surface Pro 3, which more than satisfies my desires for productivity. Anything but "light productivity" never even crossed my mind on a 9.7 inch screen. The purpose behind my device is for entertainment, light productivity, casual gaming, and a general cure for boredom.
If the e-series came within a reasonable vicinity of the resolution I had come to expect from my Samsung tablet, I would have considered it.
It is still an excellent device, regardless.

After many years of holding out with my GTX 770, I was finally convinced I needed a new video card. With prices ranging from $699+, it seemed like maybe it was time to lay down the whole enchilada - It had a 1080 that was actually available, and for the price of two 1080s, you can have an all new, decent PC.
With many gigabytes of games (~200 AAA titles I never have time to play), I was a bit concerned about the secondary drive not being SSD. This turned out to be a non-issue. The secondary drive was fast enough where loading times seemed better than normal (no complaints). The primary drive being SSD gave me quick loading times for Windows, and I suspect the system caching was greatly sped up by this. You are getting a Toshiba DT01ACA200 for your secondary drive, and a SanDisk SD8BAT256G1122 for your primary. Both perform well, but I will note I had to completely reformat the secondary drive due to consistant errors. It seems fine now, but if it consistently errors in the future, I will replace it.
32GB of RAM is more than ANYONE will EVER use gaming (unless you plan on firing up 4 AAA titles), but was nice to have, as you could fire up virtual machines, etc., with plenty of memory left to play with. I would say it is a safe bet that the ram is ADATA XPG DDR4 1066 RAM (Reports "unknown" manufacturer).
The processor is more than capable, and keeps up nicely with the video card, while remaining cool (thanks to the liquid cooling).
I fire up most of my games 2160p, and this thing fires up no problem, and burns through them without any indication of throttling. I max every one of the latest game settings, and really don't even notice much of a difference as far as performance is concerned. Of course you're not going to get that holy grail of 60fps on every title at 2160p, but I'd call them more than playable.
The box sits under my desk, and I do not notice any noise from it.
You are getting an MSI Z170A PC-Mate motherboard, and if you are planning on doing dual 1080s (SLI), forget about it with this motherboard. This is XFire compatible only (ironically). This motherboard is paired with an MSI 1080 GTX Armor OC, but don't let the OC fool you... Comparative specs shows you the OC is embarrassingly minimal.
The lights are super bright, and you can change the color with a button hidden under the top, so if you're really into the "neat-o mosquito" light show like my 12 year old daughter, then there you have it. The case is minimalist in that you aren't going to be throwing any drives in the front slots (because there are none) - so your internal Blu-Ray is going to be getting the cold shoulder with this case. For more info, look up "Phanteks Eclipse." Other than that, it's spacious, neatly organized, and designed for cooling.
Keyboard and mouse went out the window for my G15 and Sentey mouse, but they looked cool in the package?
Overall, could you build your own PC for less (or even this identical PC)? Of course, but if you have the money, want your warranty from one location, and don't have the time to mess with it, for the price on a pre-built, this really can't be beat.

YMMV
August 20, 2016
Apparently, many are commenting on the variety of video card manufacturers being distributed. So as to that, my specifications were for my build, and YMMV.
