Worth it

Corsair Gaming K95 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown Switches
Corsair Gaming K95 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown Switches

Pros: We will see how this holds up over time. But man.. There is just no comparison to a laptop or other non-mechanical keyboard. Once you get used to this, everything else feels like garbage. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw on the box that the key switches were engineered and manufactured in Germany. I see others complaining about the software but I've had no problems. It is more intuitive than the Alienware command center program I was using on my M18x before, which is to say it's pretty dang easy to use, and it works. I don't know what the others are whining about. The lights have 4 brightness settings, off, then 3 levels of brightness. I keep it on the 1st level, because level 3 will burn your retinas out. BRIGHT as you want it to be, this thing.. Flip it into rainbow mode for a neat party trick. People will talk, guaranteed. I understand others also complaining about the logo. What is wrong with the logo? I think it's cool. Whatever. Everything works as it should and this aint your mamas keyboard. Make sure you wash your hands before using and treat it with respect lol

Cons: For $180 it was hard to pull the trigger. I was on the fence about the lesser model without the macros but glad I sprung for this because I use macros in games a bit. The wrist rest requires included screws that secure it in place. This is only a con because if you want to take it off for any reason you better have a screwdriver around. The housing/chassis of the macro key section of the board is not metal the way the rest of the keyboards case is. It's plastic. It's a seamless transition and it doesn't bother me, but I think it would be great if it was all one solid piece of metal, no plastic. The heavy braided cable that requires two USB ports. I'm just waiting for this braided bit to start unweaving and fraying the way my tactx mouse braid did. I would have liked to have had a headphone jack or a USB port or both built into this thing, for $180 I want all the toys.

Overall Review: If it was military grade, titanium case all the way, spare keys, spare switches, modular/replaceable lighting source for eventualities...I mean if it was built to last FOREVER. I would buy it, even for $1000. Is anyone listening? Corsair? Saitek? Microsoft? Absolutely anyone?

Excellent

ORICO 3.5 Inch External Hard Drive Enclosure with Removable Enclosure USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 5Gbps for SATA 3.5 Inch HDD with 12V 2A Power Supply Adapter (16TB Max, Blue Display) 7688U3
ORICO 3.5 Inch External Hard Drive Enclosure with Removable Enclosure USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 5Gbps for SATA 3.5 Inch HDD with 12V 2A Power Supply Adapter (16TB Max, Blue Display) 7688U3

Pros: For the price what more can you ask for? USB 3.0, works, works well, easy to transition an internal to an external for backup or travel.

Cons: A pad is included and glued to the interior to act as an absorber when you are installing. This may need to be removed and trimmed with basic tools to fit perfectly, or even in my case one of my 2 drives (wd vs seagate) needed even a mm or so if lateral padding added to eliminate rattle. Don't be a wuss and just do it and you'll be on your way!

Overall Review: Highly recommended for the price paid <$25?! 5 eggs all the way

Pros: nice crisp high res screens, easy to plug in

Cons: -the padding, not thick enough, not comfortable, have to buy VIVE pads and make it work but they still don't really fit this unit, the pads are too tall.. -the lack of gyroscope/tilt axis sensors means you cannot view 360 degree videos with this unit, it is purely static viewing only. -The 3d is a gimmick. Who watches 3d honestly. Until you have actual holographic three dimensional projectors do not try to sell me the idea of 3d you're just crossing my eyes and my brain is upset trying to decipher it.

Overall Review: ok if you just want a big screen for your laptop to watch movies on the go

works great

Patriot Viper VPN110 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen3 x4, NVMe 1.3 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VPN110-1TBM28H
Patriot Viper VPN110 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen3 x4, NVMe 1.3 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VPN110-1TBM28H

Pros: -in RAID 0 getting up to 36% faster random reads and 47% faster random writes, all numbers up a bit from a single drive. -maximizes OS drive bus speed potential on my asus z370 pro gaming motherboard -SLICK looking integrated heat sinks let me rest easy in extended gaming sessions!

Cons: -1.79 TB usable with 2 1TB drives in RAID 0, manufacturers please add some extra physical memory so that the usable space is at least equal to the advertised capacity! -Otherwise, none, excellent so far.

Overall Review: I recommend this if you have PCIE gen 3 slots. If you have gen 4 then go with a gen 4 drive your speeds will nearly double, but if you have gen 3, this is a deal and plenty PLENTY fast enough. You blink and the game is loaded it's quite ridiculous compared to the old platter drive days.

FAST and cheap!

Acer Aspire 5 - 15.6" Laptop Intel i5-10210U 1.6GHz 8GB Ram 512GB SSD Win10Home

Pros: -Bargain cost - Refurbished but appears and functions as BRAND NEW -FAST AS HELL -M.2 drive running the OS, 10th gen i5 processor - what can you complain about?? -Did I mention absurdly fast? -a BARGAIN!!

Cons: Did not realize it would be running off an M.2, thought they would drop in a 2.5" ssd for this low cost level, so I ordered an M.2 ahead of time to upgrade it on arrival - it didn't specify which type it had installed when ordering (M.2 or 2.5") On arrival it has an M.2 - so - pleasantly surprised at that but I ordered the wrong upgrade drive (only has 1 M.2 slot, should have ordered a 2.5") But this isn't really a con!

Overall Review: 5 stars to acer america!! Refurbished rules, would never order new again!!!

Fast
