The Tablet you've always wanted for gaming

NVIDIA SHIELD tablet 2GB Memory 8.0" 1920 x 1200 Tablet Android 4.4 (KitKat) Black
NVIDIA SHIELD tablet 2GB Memory 8.0" 1920 x 1200 Tablet Android 4.4 (KitKat) Black

Pros: -Gorgeous 1920x1200 Screen -Easy to use interface -Comes with lots of fun little apps pre installed including trine 2 -I found games actually arent as strenuous to run on it as on my pc monitor -The stylus is comfortable and works seamlessly with the tablet and the drawing app is very comprehensive. -through internet portable streaming see other thoughts -Lighting Fast tegra k1 processor. absolutely dominates every other tablet in terms of performance for like less than half the price in apples case.... you heard me Ipad...

Cons: -Doesnt charge very fast when in use but thats ok its just a power hungry little monster and it needs to be for what it does

Overall Review: do NOT listen to people saying its not a gaming tablet. it is very much a gaming tablet. it is only limited by your pc's power and your internet connection. if you bought this for game streaming and you run a 0.5 megabyte connection speed, you deserve the lag that will come with it. -being able to stream to someone else's house is a must have and most welcome feature for me. I go to a lot of lan parties and i hate having to lug my tower and screen around everywhere, its inconvenient and not very good for my setup, so being able to stream from my house to someone else's is an incredibly noteworthy feature. *stamp of approval* my setup runs everything on this perfectly: Intel core i5-4670k Cooler master 212 evo MSI z87-g45 gaming motherboard g-skill Ripjaw X 8gb 1866 ddr3 MSI Geforce gtx 770 gaming edition 1tb 7200 seagate HDD 750w 80+ gold Certified PSU Raidmax Seiran Blue/White Edition

Excellent laptop with very little compromises

Aorus - 15.6" GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU - Intel Core i7-12700H  - 16GB Memory - 512 GB Gen4 SSD - Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Gaming Laptop - 144 Hz IPS (AORUS 5 SE4-73US213SH )
Aorus - 15.6" GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU - Intel Core i7-12700H - 16GB Memory - 512 GB Gen4 SSD - Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Gaming Laptop - 144 Hz IPS (AORUS 5 SE4-73US213SH )

Pros: - The screen speed, responsiveness and color are all very good. - The laptop feels very well made despite being comprised of mostly plastic. - The cooling is surprisingly efficient for the specs. GPU hovers around the low 70s and CPU around 80 under the heaviest loads. - Lots of ports. - RGB customizable keyboard that is also fairly comfortable to type on, and included numpad. - 12700h and rtx 3070 (130w) are a beastly combination that have no trouble playing basically every game maxed out (aside from ray tracing). You might have to turn down some settings in some games if you want really high framerates, but that is a preference thing. - Relatively easy to get inside and upgrade. Extra M.2 slot for a second SSD. - 15 inch size makes it very easy to transport and fit into a backpack inconspicuously. - 99WH battery, the biggest you can fit into a laptop that is still legally allowed on planes. - Gen 4 NVMe SSD, very fast and capable.

Cons: - The power cord plugs into the right-middle side of the chassis, which is going to be a little annoying for any right-handed mouse users. I understand that they had to make way for the cooling in this thing somehow, but it's just not ideal. - The RGB is only 3-zones, not individually configurable keys. Pretty standard, but for the teir of laptop this is, you might expect more. - Can be kind of pricey, goes on sale relatively often though, so pick your timing and you can find a great discount on it. - 16gb of ram is getting a little low for a gaming/productivity machine these days (for me) so if you work, do research and game on your laptop, maybe like to leave a lot of tabs open. you may want to upgrade to 32gb. - The SSD is only 512gb which is not very much considering the size of games these days. Basically the first thing I did was add a second 2tb SSD.

Overall Review: Ultimately, the pros far outweigh the cons of this laptop in my opinion. I was skeptical about buying it at first because it was difficult to find any credible reviews on this model, but having tried it for myself I would say its a fantastic buy, especially if you get it on a good sale, as I did. If you want a machine that can do it all, productivity, video editing, gaming, regular laptop stuff, etc. This will be more than enough for your needs.

Incredible monitor for the price.

ASUS VZ239H Frameless 23” 5ms (GTG) IPS Widescreen LCD/LED Monitors, HDMI 1920 x 1080 Ultra-Slim Design, w/ Eye Care Feature and Flicker Free Technology, 178/178 Viewing Angle and Build in Speakers
ASUS VZ239H Frameless 23” 5ms (GTG) IPS Widescreen LCD/LED Monitors, HDMI 1920 x 1080 Ultra-Slim Design, w/ Eye Care Feature and Flicker Free Technology, 178/178 Viewing Angle and Build in Speakers

Pros: -Beautiful IPS display, makes a big difference from TN panels. -Slim, almost nonexistent bezels. -Sleek design, very professional looking. -23 inches is a great size for 1080p -Extremely Light -Easy to set up -Tilt adjustable -Viewing angles are excellent.

Cons: -Display doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen. Not that noticeable though. -You are going to want to colour calibrate this yourself. -not height adjustable

Overall Review: I bought this monitor as a temporary replacement for my 1440p one that is bricked, and I have to say I am impressed with the quality for the price. Colours pop like I've never seen coming from TN panels. The response time is adequate for gaming and its easy to take with you if you need to. Great for both a main monitor or a very colour accurate second monitor. I only took off an egg because of the cons I mentioned, and honestly I rarely give anything 5 eggs.

Incredible quality motherboard

Corsair Certified K70 Vengeance Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Cherry MX Red, RGB LED Backlit (CH-9000068-NA)
Corsair Certified K70 Vengeance Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Cherry MX Red, RGB LED Backlit (CH-9000068-NA)

Pros: -The price -Like new condition -Volume scroll on the top right + mute button -Brightness control button -Extremely high range of colour customization -Online community that does custom profiles you can download for yourself -Superb key response -Satisfying mechanical clicking -Not to loud as far as mechanical keyboards go -The included wrist rest is actually fairly comfortable and provides a lot of support I didn't feel I had coming from a keyboard that was thinking more about style than comfort when it came to this. -4 adjustable feet on the bottom for that extra angle you need if you truly need it, or for it to be higher because its on a low table I haven't had the keyboard long but it didn't take me very long to fall in love with the look and the feel of this thing. Everything on it feels really good quality and sturdy. For the discerning gamer who wanted both a sleek AND a flashy look, this is definitely it.

Cons: -The software is not the most intuitive I've used, but its definitely not the worst. -Drivers were a little tricky to get to actually work with the keyboard -Takes up 2 usb ports if that's a problem for you, it wasn't for me. I am really just nitpicking when it comes to the cons aside from the software. I don't really consider any of these a real problem that is purchase breaking, or worth bringing it down an egg.

Overall Review: I have never used a keyboard that I liked more than this one. it feels lovingly designed and crafted, my hands fit so comfortably on it. I can literally design myself a coat of arms as a backlight. This Keyboard is definitely worth being part of your setup.

Pros: -3gb if vram -gorgeous ferrari look -plays most games maxed out Its really just a great card all around, you get what you pay for

Cons: -Non so far

Overall Review: I bought this card for my friend for his first build and we are both very happy with the performance. I only removed an egg because the offer it came with shipped separately and by the time it got here the offer had expired and my friend didnt get his games.

what a beast

Corsair Certified CW-9060008-WW Hydro Series H80i  Water Cooler
Corsair Certified CW-9060008-WW Hydro Series H80i Water Cooler

Pros: I honestly cant tell that its a refurb, everything was packaged like brand new and there was no signs of wear. It keeps my 4790k overclocked to 4.7ghz below 75C Feels very well built

Cons: It gets kinda loud on start up and under heavy load. not terribly so but its definitely audible. Corsairs instruction manual is reminiscent of IKEA. removed an egg due to this.

Overall Review: I Recommend this cooler highly
