Most Favorable Review

Very capable laptop for the price!

Acer 15.6" FHD E5-575G-57A4 7th Gen Intel Core i5 7200U NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8 GB DDR4 Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - "ONLY @ NEWEGG"
Acer 15.6" FHD E5-575G-57A4 7th Gen Intel Core i5 7200U NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8 GB DDR4 Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - "ONLY @ NEWEGG"

Pros: The very stable Acer E5-575G-57A4 laptop looks nice and packs plenty of punch for its price point. As well as being very sturdy It comes with 8 GBs of DDR4 system RAM with 2 GBs of dedicated DDR5 VRAM. Also packed inside is a 7th Gen CORE i5-7200u coupled with a Geforce GTX 950m which runs my games very well from the 256 GB SSD which is also included. There is a 1 TB HDD and a 1080p HD display along with USB 3.1 which includes 3 full size ports and 1 type C connector. There is also an HDMI out port which works great when hooked up to my TV for watching videos and web surfing. The battery is impressive with average of 10 hours per charge with maximum energy saving settings enabled and just watching videos and surfing the web, and between 2-4 hours while gaming depending on the game being played. Plays Skyrim SE on high settings very well with no issues at all. Boot times are very quick for a laptop with it taking 14 seconds to the login screen and 22 seconds to the desktop. The fans are very quiet even while gaming and it does put out quite a bit of heat so I know they're working. The keyboard is good sized and feels sturdy.

Cons: The screen is my biggest complaint by far with this laptop. It does the job but it has poor contrast and the viewing angle leaves much to be desired.

Overall Review: For what it cost I couldn't bring myself to take an egg off for the screen although if it cost much more it would have cost it one. I've enjoyed playing SkyrimSE on high settings with absolutely no problems other than it initially trying to launch the game using the integrated intel GPU, but that was a simple fix by changing a setting in the NVIDIA control panel. I was able to play on battery power on high settings for almost 2 hours nonstop before being prompted when the battery reached 8% to charge it. I decided to compare that time with Portal 2 on max settings and almost made it to 3 hours playing it before being prompted to recharge. I was also able to play ESO with med-high settings and Diablo III on max settings. Recharge time is almost 2 hours while in sleep mode from 7%. After some long gaming sessions on it I never felt that the system was getting hot or ever heard the fan get loud at all. The keyboard stayed cool to the touch along with the rest of the top side although you can feel the heat from the bottom of it while it is sitting on your lap. After shopping around and looking at other systems I have to say this one is the best deal out there right now.

Cheap

CyberPower 6 Feet 10 Outlets 3750 Joules Home / Office Surge Protector with 2 USB (1A Shared) Charging Ports
CyberPower 6 Feet 10 Outlets 3750 Joules Home / Office Surge Protector with 2 USB (1A Shared) Charging Ports

Pros: There are 10 outlets with a rating of 3750 Joules. The cord is plenty long and is quite thick with an angled plug allowing for the easy use of the other plug on your wall outlet. Comes with two USB charging ports witch seem to work okay for some things such as my Galaxy S6, PS4 DS4 controller, and all the small RC toys we have. The spacing on four of the plugs work great for plugging in power bricks without sacrificing any other outlets on the strip. Offers protection from power spikes and has LED lights to show if it has a good ground and if it has active protection. There is phone line protection so if you happen to use a FAX machine it would come in handy for that. The safety locks on each of the outlets work great to keep dust and fingers out as well as anything else that doesn't belong in them.

Cons: The build seems very cheap to me. Everything I plugged in feels like a springboard with quite a lot of force required to get the plugs to seat properly because the contacts like to bend as if there is no support holding them up from the inside. You need to wiggle the plug to get it to go into the outlet to overcome the springy contacts. It's like the plugs are shifted to the side and don't line up properly on mine. The USB ports are slow for charging things that require two amp chargers as it only feeds 1 amp to each port and those ports feel springy as well.

Overall Review: If you find a good sale on this then it's not bad. It does the job just fine and allows efficient use of all ten outlets with the four being spaced out nicely. I like the built in USB ports for charging the PS4 controller and all the kids toys without needing to share all the power bricks. I will say that even though it charged my Galaxy S6 I don't think I'd recommend it due to only getting out one amp to charge it. When comparing the charge rate of the ports on my phone at 45% it said that it would take 1:19 minutes to charge while my OEM charger said it would take 0:55 minutes to charge. I then plugged my phone into the PS4 and it said 1:39 minutes to charge so it's faster than using the PS4 I guess.

Great board with great build quality

GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE AX AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570S ATX Motherboard

Pros: All the USB issues we had with the old ASRock x570 gaming motherboard were resolved by replacing it with this gigabyte x570s board. No issues with setup other than memory was clocked slower than rated but a simple adjustment fixed that. Very solid and stable now.

Overall Review: Recommended for the AM4 platform

awesome console great price!

Pros: I love the PS4 Pro console. It's quiet and runs games much better than my base PS4 does.

Cons: Not a huge step up in graphics but a step none the less.

Overall Review: I think at this point Sony should slim it down and make it the cheaper model with the PS5 on th horizon but with Newegg.com selling these at a great deal it's worth grabbing for sure.

V770 great keyboard with great customer service

Patriot Viper V770 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Full RGB/Dedicated Media Controls/Macro Enabled
Patriot Viper V770 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Full RGB/Dedicated Media Controls/Macro Enabled

Pros: The Patriot Viper V770 is a very sturdy and brightly lit keyboard with a ton of great features. The RGB lighting is flexible with plenty of options for you to choose from with some custom profiles available in the software for both lighting and macro support as well. The keys are considerably quieter than my Gskill RGB keyboard with the same switches and the travel is shorter as well. This keyboard performs flawlessly not matter if you're gaming or just typing away at that book your writing. There are a plenty of built in lighting profiles with some built in customization as far as brightness, color pattern, and or speed. The wrist rest has a very cool light bar that's also able to be customized although it requires software to do so. Added features such as the volume roller and multimedia rockers/buttons are well built and work great as do the macros. I'll end this section by saying that Patriot customer support was great to deal with and I'd be happy to deal with them anytime.

Cons: I didn't take an egg off for this because Patriot took prompt care of me and there is always a defect rate no matter what your buying. My first keyboard worked perfectly out of the box for about 2 hours before an entire row of keys from the left Shift key to the 3 on the number pad failed to light anymore although the keyboard still typed perfectly the lack of lighting on those keys was distracting but Patriot replaced the keyboard no questions asked and it was done promptly.

Overall Review: I really enjoy this keyboard compared to my more expensive Gskill and this one isn't buggy like it either. The lighting seems brighter with more built in options as well. The cables are braided and feel very durable with an added USB port on the keyboard for a mouse or headset is a nice feature as well as the plug for your headset. The software is easy to use unlike my Gskill. Overall I believe this keyboard is worth every penny and upon my research trying to figure out my lighting issue on the first one I've decided that mine was a fluke with no complaints on this issue anywhere else and it's been out long enough if this was a design problem we'd know about it by now. Thanks Patriot for backing your product with ease and no hoops to jump through.

Great value but....

GAMDIAS Hephaestus E1 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Headset
GAMDIAS Hephaestus E1 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: Very good value with this headset at such a cheap price. The sound quality is right up there with my Sony Platinum headset for the most part and the microphone sounds better than the one that comes with the Playstation 4. The cables are long enough and braided so it should be durable enough for the accidental snag you might encounter. The ear cups light up nicely and look neat. The control box on the wire makes quick and easy adjustments painless. The headband is made out of metal making the headset feel durable. The microphone folds up keeping it out of the way if your not using it. The overall build quality seems pretty good for the price and much more sturdy than others I've used at this price.

Cons: These are not very comfortable for big heads or big ears, my 10 year old son says they don't hurt his head but mine starts to hurt within about 30 minutes of use. The ear cups are shallow so my ears start to hurt and the headband feels pretty weighty on my head after a short time and will begin to hurt where it rests causing me to make constant adjustments to try and find the perfect spot that doesn't exist on my head apparently. The lights can't be changed at all and only switched on or off by using the built in control box on the wire. The USB cord that powers the lights is very short from the audio wire making it difficult to power them while using it on a PS4 unless you use an extension or a portable power bank to power them.

Overall Review: I believe that these are a great choice for kids since they typically have smaller heads and ears than adults plus they seem to be built sturdy enough. The sound quality surprised me as they are very close to my Platinum headset although not quite as good and they lack the ability to customize the tone, but for the price they are good.

I didn't have a single issue.

Took a little while longer than expected to ship but the savings were worth the delay, and it showed up well before the estimated delivery.
