Carry gear securely inside this versatile Alienware Vindicator backpack. A durable reinforced base resists weather and water while being sturdy enough to hold a 17.3-inch laptop, tablet, magazines and USB devices in separate compartments. The padded shoulder strap of this Alienware Vindicator backpack makes it comfortable to tote around campus.

Only case/backpack that fits the new Alienware 17

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the only one I've found that fits the newer (2016-2017) Alienware 17" laptops that have the protruding heatsinks in the rear. It is a tight fit but it does fit! Beyond that, there is a ton of room in separate areas of the backpack to put a lot of other stuff, I was actually amazed at how much room there was outside of the laptop enclosure, could actually hold enough books for a few college courses.. It's very sturdy and very well made, and would recommend it to anyone with a 17" laptop.

Fantastic Gaming PC

This computer absolutely blows away anything I've ever owned before. The i7 is one of the most powerful processors available today, and add in the 16GB RAM and the GT1070 (with another 8GB on that), and it will handle any game you throw at it in full HD without breaking a sweat. The SSD makes bootup times only take about 10 seconds to be fully usable from off. I had read other reviews where people experienced excessive noise problems with the power supply fans, but mine is whisper silent-I had my laptop in the same room as it, and all I could hear was the cooling pad fan on the laptop.

Fantastic Surround Headset
on December 30, 2016
Posted by: TimC
from RI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got these to replace my long, longtime Logitech G35s after the earpads finally gave out after ~10 years of use. My first reaction taking them out of the box was they felt VERY lightweight (and assumed cheaper made) compared to the G35s, however I've been pleasantly surprised by how sturdy they have been. The sound quality is actually much better than the G35s, and as an additional bonus, when waking the computer up from sleep mode, you do not have to reset the 7.1 surround on the headset like I used to with the G35s. The 7.1 surround is great in games, you can actually hear things moving behind you, and on which side to be able to turn and defend yourself. As I first stated, this headset is VERY lightweight, and combined with the generous width of the ear cups are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They also have 5 very easily reachable, programmable buttons, as well as a volume wheel on the back of the left earcup, can set those button to do whatever you desire!. As added eye-candy (using as USB), they also glow, and the colors can be set as a solid color, or set to cycle through the color spectrum as well. Definitely a cool feature. I'm very happy I chose these, and they feel like they should last just as long as my last headset, which was also made by Logitech.

Fantastic TV

Got this as a replacement TV for one I let my daughter take to college, and got a lot more than I bargained for. First, the picture on this is pristine (no it's not 4K-but you're going to be hard-pressed to find any 4k stuff right now anyways), and looks fantastic, wish I had upgraded the old TV much sooner. Add in the price, which is quite competitive for a normal Smart TV of it's size class, never mind adding in the 70-120 a Roku stick/player would be extra) With the Roku part, it holds your hand through the entire setup process, and then sets you on your way with whatever initial channels you chose. You can always add more at any time, the vast majority of them are free streaming channels, with commercials. The big surprise and highlight I found was getting 2 months of HBO Now free with the purchase of a Roku device! Overall a fantastic value, fantastic picture, and have not encountered any issues at all with it.

Great smaller iPhone

Got this for my daughter to replace her 5s with a broken screen. It's for the most part the guts of an iPhone 6s in the compact casing of a 5s (her old cases fit perfectly). The quality of the phone is incredible compared to her old 5s. Used to have a hard time hearing her, even with full bars, but with the SE she sounds like she is right next to me even in low reception areas!

I wanted to be able to play some of the more recent games, but needed to upgrade my GPU to be able to run them. It runs MUCH quieter than the 500mb GTX750 it replaced, and perform light years better. Fallout 4, which was un-runable, auto-detected at "ultra" settings, and it runs flawlessly at all times, wasn't expecting that for a budget card. Also the PSU requirement is low enough that I didn't need to replace the power supply from the stock power that came with my PC a few years back.

Got it on sale for 499.99, still in shock how much the prices have dropped recently, this was MUCH less than the 39" it was replacing. The picture is stunning, the colors brilliant, and no noticeable tearing or stuttering at all with both cable thru HDMI or Blu Ray player even with high-action sports and intense action movies.
As to the Smart TV part, when I bought this it was an afterthought as the old one I had was so slow to load anything it wasn't worth using, so I stuck to using my Blu-Ray for anything streaming. This TV's Smart section is lightning fast, and I now choose this over my BR player for streaming.

I have 3 TVs and a cable internet modem going off one connection in my apartment. After Cox went all digital and I got my mini boxes, a couple of the channels were pixilating a bit on the 2 sets farthest from the old splitters. I got this and it instantly fixed the problem, crystal clear HD on everything now! Actually, it did more than that as my internet, which seemed really fast to begin with, started loading up pages lightning fast, pretty much instantly. Wish I had thought to look into this sooner.

Fantastic

This computer is fantastic for the price, I use it for gaming. I've had it for over a month now, and have run various performance tests on it. It scores in the upper 5 percentile overall on every test right out of the box. The i7 processor in it is one of the top of the lines, and 12 GB RAM is a bit overkill (which is good!) The GeForce 750 graphics card has run every game I've thrown at it in high settings without blinking, and 2TB Hard Drive is more than I'll ever be able to fill. There are plenty of USB ports on this system, 4 in the front (2@3.0) and 3 in the back. My only trivial complaint is I wish they had 4 in the back as my keyboard requires 2 USB connections, so if you have USB speakers and mouse, one will need to be plugged into the front. Overall this is a great buy!

Does this product have full custom rgb where you can get every color or just red green and blue?

Full color spectrum selection, as well as setting on a constant cycle, and "breathing" mode.

Is it wireless?

Not wireless, but has both 3mm and USB connectors. Highly recommend using the USB to take advantage of the surround as well as the macro button and lighting features.

How much does th TV weigh?

28.2 pounds per Best Buy's spec sheet (29.1 with stand attached), not heavy at all for it's size. I was able to take mine home, carry from the car and setup by myself with no issues. I am on the taller side (6'3" with a decent wingspan), and was JUST able to reach the handles on the sides of the box-keep this in mind, may need help carrying the box due to it's length more so than it's weight.

How well does this card run intense graphic games?

For games like Fallout 4 and GTA V, how well does this card handle them? Please specify settings and FPS rate. Thank you!
Got this specifically for Fallout 4. Was VERY surprised when the game's auto-detection put me at "ULTRA" graphics quality since this wasn't the top-of-the-line card. It runs seamlessly on ultra! Definitely a great card for the money.
