This is a high quality mouse pad. The material maintains its texture and the material doesn't frill. Also, this has a very large footprint. Your mouse will thank you.

A very competitive machine
on August 2, 2018
Posted by: Wower
Verified Purchase:Yes
First a few wins:
1. Powerful: A very fast 8th Gen i7-8700 processor coupled with 16GB(2x8GB) fast memory and a GTX 1080 combination is no slouch.
2. Expandability: This has room for additional storage, 2 free DIMM slots and room for an additional graphics(more on this below).
3. Connectivity: More than a dozen USB(2+3) ports, a USB type c, Built in WiFi powered by Killer.
4. Pricing: Offered at a sub $1300 price point, I could barely build an equivalent DIY setup at that price.
5. Aesthetics: Typical Alienware. Looks like a machine built for gaming.

5. Aesthetics: Typical Alienware. Looks like a machine built for gaming.
Now, there are a few curious cons:
1. This config doesn't have an SSD, which is unacceptable in 2018 and that too from Alienware. They do include Intel Optane based solution but it is not comparable to SSD based setup, regardless of what the marketing material says. (Shame)
2. The installed power supply (~450W) is unable to support if you wanted to add an additional graphics card. You will need to replace the power supply as well.
3. Doesn't support Thunderbolt 3.

Show off memories with this HP Sprocket photo printer. Print pictures from your smartphone by choosing them from the camera roll or a social media website.

Positive: Kids love it.
Negative: While the printer doesn’t require any ink, don’t expect to be saving money. The zink paper the printer uses is expensive. And the prints are only 2”x3”.

iPhone 8 is a new generation of iPhone. Designed with most durable glass and a stronger aerospace-grade aluminum band. Charges wirelessly.¹ Resists water and dust.² 5.5-inch Retina HD display with True Tone.³ 12MP dual cameras offer improved Portrait mode and new Portrait Lighting.⁴ Powered by A11 Bionic, a most powerful smartphone chip. Supports augmented reality experiences in games and apps. With iPhone 8 Plus, intelligence has never looked better.
Posted by: Wower
Verified Purchase:Yes
Significant improvements include:
- Great image quality
- Better Image/Video compression
- Capacity that will last (even in the base model)
- Same processor as iPhone X (with Neural Engine support)
- Wireless charging enabled
Cons:
- Too big a screen, even with the reachability feature it could be annoying. In comparison, iPhone 8 is smaller and very easy to work with a single hand but it doesn’t have the dual back cameras.
- With the glass back your phone has twice the glass that can break. So protection is a must.

So far I have been very happy with this drive. I have used it for a few weeks and performed massive software upgrades on my car without a problem. It does feel sturdy and I hope it lasts 2 years.

3 of the 7 sockets didn't work at all i.e. I couldn't plug my devices in them. It seems these were never tested.
These are going back.

AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac - 3-year plan

No Accidental Damage Coverage
on October 19, 2016
Posted by: Wower
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike the AppleCare plan offered for iPad/iPhones/Watches, the iMac plan doesn't cover accidental damage. So this plan is merely an additional warranty, which may still be good to have if you don't have similar benefit through your bank/credit-card.

With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 1TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

The machine is elegant (as expected) and the display is stunning. iMac 5K comes in 3 variants with different specs and this is the middle of the range. In my opinion, this variant is not spec'd to satisfaction.
1. The hard disk: this variant comes with 1.02TB fusion drive, which is actually a combo of a 1TB hard disk (spinning) and a 24GB SSD. This is not a typo, it comes with only 24GB SSD. An year old model came with 128GB SSD with a 1TB hard disk. This year, only the top line model of iMac comes with 128GB SSD (as part of fusion).
2. M390 GPU is not powerful enough if you want to fully leverage the 5K display e.g. play games and/or edit videos etc. Again, the top of the line model again comes with M395 and M395X which are much better than what this model has. Also, the GPUs are not upgradable after market, as they are soldered to the board.

My suggestion is to go with top spec'd model of iMac if you want to use the device for anything more than casual work, but then again as with all things Apple you will have to pay a hefty premium to upgrade.
