Pros: - Camera is fast - very fast. I'm not a photography expert, but this is by far the best phone camera I've used; coming from an older Sony Z3 and prior to that a LG G3. Low light pics are far better than my prior phones, but still not perfect. - Phone is gorgeous - Updated Sony UI is "just enough" on top of Android 7, and looks good

Cons: - I found the phone to be slightly heavy - For some, the value proposition may be questionable ($$$) but for me it is exactly what I wanted

Overall Review: If you are a Sony fan, you will love this phone. If you value a good camera, and aren't a stickler about the absolute fastest, newest hardware otherwise, you will like this phone. Make no mistake, it's a powerhouse.

Pros: Overall value is great. Build quality is stunning. Nice screen. Extremely light weight and slim for a 15.6" notebook. Good specs.

Cons: The touchpad is awful. Sound quality using earbuds/headphones is not great. Lots of Asus proprietary software/driver add-on apps running in the background.

Overall Review: I hate complaining but this Asus is about 80% of the way to amazing. Unfortunately the few issues are deal breakers for me. First, the good. This notebook is stunning - great build quality, excellent materials, and it doesn't attract fingerprints! The aluminum material on the lid and wrist rest area looks and feels nice to the touch. Keyboard is very good, and screen is above average in brightness and color. In addition to the great build quality, it's the slimmest and lightest 15.6" mainstream laptop I've come across. It weighs just a little bit more than my last 13" Dell, and the Dell had far lower specs and no dedicated graphics card. As for the bad... The worst part is the touchpad.... it's finicky as all get up. Sometimes the two-finger scrolling doesn't work. Sometimes the touchpad responds with a fast pointer, other times it's slow. When the CPU is working hard - say installing a program or running a virus scan - the pointer literally stutters across the screen and is unusable during that time. (I've tried reinstalling the driver, past driver releases, and even tried other Asus touch pad drivers with the same issues). Also, the Asus "Smart gesture" software (aka touch pad app) is minimal and doesn't offer most of the features other laptop brands have. The controls are basic - scroll on/off, a couple of swipe gesture options, and remote control of the touchpad. You even have to go into the Windows control center to adjust the speed of the pointer. Pretty useless all things considered. For me, the touchpad being bad is a deal breaker, as I use this notebook on the go a lot (on my lap). If a good touchpad is important to you, too, look elsewhere. The other big complaint is the audio quality. Of course, the sound coming from the speakers is just OK, as is the case with most notebooks. However, even when using earphones or earbuds, the bass is not great and the sound is quite tinny, even after playing with the "Sonic Master" audio settings. Compared to the aforementioned 13" Dell, which had Waves Maxx audio, this is much worse. Another issue for me, because I listen to music on the go. Other misc comments on this Asus... there is one accessible RAM slot; the initial 8GB SO-DIMM is soldered onto the motherboard. Updating it to 16GB was easy (just look for the silver enclosure with a flip-up lid - the slot is in there). Speed is as expected with the i7-6500U. The GTX960M is a nice surprise in a notebook of this size and price. I'm able to play Flight Sim X at max settings , although admittedly that game is old. Asus, please fix your touchpad. I can't believe more people haven't complained on forums. I missed the return deadline, and Asus is offering to repair the unit, but I can't go without it for several days while it's in the mail. Too bad there is no option for on-site service, as there is for other brands. Anyway, I give Asus A for build quality and appearance, A for performance, A for value, but an overall C grade just because the touch pad issue is such a big deal for me. If you can use an external mouse, and aren't an audiophile, this product is the best buy going.

Pros: Build quality is beautiful. Vivid screen. Perfect size! Good performance. Amazing camera.

Cons: Some small nit-picks, nothing big.

Overall Review: I've had the XA1 for a month and a half now. I was coming from a Z3 Compact so this was a tiny step up size-wise. The build quality is gorgeous and for a 720p screen,it's real nice. The camera is outstanding! (the same lens as in the Z5 series, which got great reviews from photography sites). The camera starts fast, and focuses in an instant. Low-light performance is good, but not great - please, Sony, add OIS to your dang cameras! The updated Sony UI is simple but looks great, in fact I love the widgets and live wallpapers; otherwise it's pretty standard Android 7.0. One minor issue is, the double tap to turn the screen off works great, but the functionality doesn't exist to turn the screen on that way. Using a 3rd party launcher would fix that, though. Battery life is significantly worse than my Z3 Compact but that phone had amazing battery life. It is hard to make it a full day of moderate use with the XA1. Performance otherwise is fine, no complaints from me - although all I use my phone for is photos, Facebook, texting and occasionally replying to an email or googling something. I have one complaint/concern so far. I had a few instances of the phone locking up a few days after getting it, but none since then (I did a factory reset a few days later, and that apparently resolved the freezing up issue). And one more nit-picky thing... this phone comes with Swift Key keyboard as standard, instead of the excellent Xperia keyboard I had on my Z3 compact. Too bad, because the Xperia keyboard is impressive, and actually has more customization options than Swift Key. I ended up finding the Sony keyboard apk and installed it that way, so problem solved, but it makes me wonder why they put Swiftkey on when they have their own great keyboard app. In summary, the XA1 is a good value for what you get. It has by far the best camera in its price range, along with features like NFC which some competitors in this price range lack. If you value a good camera, smallish size, and don't care about not having a fingerprint scanner and full HD display, you'll love this phone. I highly recommend it. (PS, works great with Cricket in the US)

Pros: Solid build quality. Adjustable male USB-C for phones of different sizes (and to account for those in cases). Works well overall.

Cons: None , really yet

Overall Review: I was pleasantly surprised with this dock. It is high quality and works well. Definitely not flimsy like some of the cheaper ones. It works great with my Sony Xperia XA1. I got one for my bed side table, and one for my desk.

Pros: High quality materials, attractive sleeve

Cons: Doesn't fit an Asus 15.6" notebook. Had to take out the one nano USB transmitter for my mouse (which protrudes about 1cm from the side, and even then had to shove it in on an angle. If I keep using it this way I'm sure it will rip in no time.

Overall Review: Would be great for a 13 or 14" laptop. Too tight for a 15.6" screen.

Pros: Plug and play with Windows 10. Relatively quick reads/writes

Cons: None at this time

Overall Review: Great value, too.

Delivery took almost three weeks. Had to contact NewEgg support to get in touch with these guys, because they did not respond to the "contact seller" email link in my account.

The product I purchased (replacement phone battery) was DOA but they responded promptly to my e-mail and sent a replacement for free.
