Extra length gives more options
on January 10, 2012
Posted by: OldNAchy
from Washington D.C.
Bought this for digital audio for my Turtle Beach DX11 headset. The cable works fine. Produces good audio and extra length allows me to set up a ways back from my XBOX 360 and TV. Have noticed no interference with the audio, so shielding is ok.
What's great about it: Extra length provides flexibility in use.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Channel your inner gamer with the Xbox One S. An impressively sleek reduction in size belies the fact it supports HDR visuals and impressive 4K resolution for outstanding detail in the latest games. Bluetooth technology bundled with the Xbox wireless controller means you can use this device on both your Xbox One S and your Windows 10 PC.

Great. Yet another worthless review
August 26, 2016
It would be nice if people would review products AFTER they purchase and use them. Reviewing and 5 starring a spec sheet really doesn't tell review readers anything about the actual product.

Phone Books are smaller too
August 26, 2016
Yes it is nice that the slim has a smaller footprint, but I read reviews anticipating actual user experience with a product. This review and most of the other 5 star reviews I have read for the slim are by people who are speculating about the product, not actually experiencing it. Worthless to me.

By Wastedmoney
I bought this laptop with the free web root anti virus bout 2 weeks ago. I thought it was great and worked awesome for gaming at first since the game I play is online but the anti virus disk is useless and if you want to download a game on a disk goodluck. What kind of 1029$ "gaming" laptop doesn't come with a disk drive oh that's right this one! Heck my cousins 300$ walmart laptop has a fricken disk drive. Very un happy I wasted my money and now have to buy a usb disk drive.

The specifications for this product clearly state that a dvd (optical) drive is not included. A number of the latest laptop designs do not include a dvd drive to help with a smaller footprint and lower cost. Maybe a little more research in the future...

Need to Clarify
September 6, 2016
Do you mean the battery had no charge or that it wouldn't charge? In the first case that isn't worth a one star since keeping it plugged in for a period of time will charge it. In the second case you may have a defective unit and should return it for a replacement.

Enjoy extraordinary graphics with the NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card, and ensure everything stays cool with the liquid cooling system in this CyberPowerPC gaming computer.

1 out of 5not wifi enabled, no CD drive
By Traveler1
Although this might be a good computer for those who can get it to work, I am returning mine due to a lack of functionality. The reviews and computer buying guide nowhere mention that this platform lacks any WiFi functionality. Only at the bottom of the product specifications does it state "wired enabled." Nowhere does it note that this computer does not support WiFi, which has been a standard feature of almost all desktops and laptops over the past decade, and ought to be prominently disclosed in the product description. It is totally non-functional for those with WiFi, which is the norm for most people at home and work nowdays. Oddly, the computer ships with two CDs - one including drivers and one for installation/backup - yet has no CD drive. While I am happy for those who have been able to get it to work, for me it is a very expensive piece of junk with no connectivity or functionality. It will be returned tomorrow and I will purchase a different computer that I can actually use.

Pretty clear to me in the description and specs that it doesn't have wireless or DVD drive. External USB dvd drives are pretty cheap these days and if one absolutely needs wireless, get a usb AC wireless dongle for crying out loud. Why trash down a review because of careless research? Sounds like the desktop was not given a chance. I don't need one right now, but with the firepower that this one has, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it - and oh by the way buy a simple external dvd drive!!!

4 out of 5Very Nice With A Few Minor Drawbacks
By OldnAchy
I bought this desktop to replace an older one that finally died (motherboard I think). In addition to normal internet, spreadsheet, and word processing, I use this for video editing and voice overs and some gaming.
The installed I7-6700 processor, 16GB memory, and MSI GTX 1060 3GB GPU are more than sufficient for most of what I do. Not sure about heavy gaming, but I will be upgrading the installed card with an MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X card.
There is plenty of space in the cabinet which should aid in ventilation. Both sides are tempered glass and are easy to remove and reinstall but with care because they are completely glass and a little heavy.
This desktop comes with very little bloatware -- a major plus!!
The installed 100gb ADATA SSD and 1TB WD Blue HDD may be sufficient for most but I have already swapped out the HDD for a 2TB SEAGATE model and plan to swap out the SSD for a larger and higher rated one as well.
There are a few minor drawbacks to consider:
Unlike most mid-tower gaming desktops, this one does not have front ventilation or an air intake fan, only a rear exhaust fan. There are ventilation grills top and bottom but a front fan would have definitely increased air flow. The CPU fan is the small stock INTEL fan, but so far is keeping the CPU at a reasonable temperature. GPU temperature will have to be controlled completely by the GPU itself.
There is no installed DVD drive, so an external USB 3.0 drive should be on the shopping list because there is still a need to install or game from DVD. I already had one so this was not an issue for me but it is amazing that so many desktops/laptops get severely down graded because someone did not notice that in the specs!!
There is no installed wireless card. A USB wireless adapter is provided that works fine but obviously uses up one of the USB 3.0 ports. For those who locate the desktop next to the router and connect via ETHERNET this is not an issue, but I am actually using mine wireless so I have ordered an ASUS wireless AC card. I need that USB port!!
The desktop has flashing LED lights that are controlled by a remote. My remote does not work but I suspect that it is because of a dead 3v (2025) battery. Going over to BB today to pick some new ones. The lights are a "neat" feature but I would like to turn them off once in awhile!!
Windows 10 is not activated. The product key is on a sticker on the back of the desktop. A bit of a pain to not have it already activated. Note that the first 8 characters of the product key are behind the scratch off "Microsoft."
Overall though I would recommend this desktop to anyone who wants to do some moderate gaming or heavy general processing. The installed components really provide a big bang for the buck and it does have a little bit of an upgrade capability. Just understand that you will need to buy an external DVD drive and possibly a wireless PCI-E card.
Since BB doesn't provide for editing reviews once posted, if anything changes I will post as a comment to the review.

Update On My Review
February 2, 2017
With new battery remote works but range is terrible. I have to go to back of desktop and point straight down (pointing at ventilation grill) to get it to work. Could have done a better job there.
On the plus side I was able to remove installed (1 fan) 3gb 1060 graphics card and install full length 6gb 1060 card with no issues. Card runs hotter because ventilation is not the greatest but is within the spec range.
The 2 available memory slots are easy to reach if one wants to add another 8-16gb of memory.
I was able to install the ASUS Wi-Fi PCI Express Adapter (PCE-AC56) wireless card with no problems and it is working fine. Freed up a USB 3.0 port. Unfortunately Best Buy doesn't sell this. Have to go to Amazon or Newegg to get it.
Still 4 stars mainly because of remote and ventilation but glad I bought it.
Hope this helps.

OldNAchy's Questions
OldNAchy has not submitted any questions.
What is windows 7 preinstalled?
I would like to buy a laptop but I don't understand what it means by windows 7 preinstalled. Is it a starter or a basic?
This really depends on the laptop. Lower end laptops may have Windows 7 starter installed. Medium to upper end laptops generally have Windows 7 Premium installed. The laptop specifications should detail which version is installed. Hint: go with a laptop with Premium installed. More bang for the buck and better processing power.
