It does what it says

Xbox One S 500GB Console - Minecraft Favorites Bundle
Xbox One S 500GB Console - Minecraft Favorites Bundle

Pros: Small, fits almost anywhere. Fairly easy to setup, and didn't take too long for me to get it up and running for the kids. Plenty of games, and you can get free games with a "Gold" membership.

Cons: Biggest complaint is the amount of bandwidth these units require. While I know the PS systems are just as bad, I didn't realize how much they expect you to download off the web. Some of the free games I received with my bundle are 20GB or larger. With my current internet at home, this would have taken several days to download. While some may say I need to upgrade my home internet, well, I would if I could, but we have very limited options due to my location. Also, it would have been nice if a second controller would have been included.

Overall Review: While I've only played on it a couple of times, I still believe the kids will enjoy it a lot (early Christmas gift). While I do appreciate the free games that came with my bundle (5 total), it would have been nice if they all had disc and not downloaded from the website. Actually, two did come with disc. The rest had to be redeemed from the website with a code.

Most Critical Review

It fits my shaver and that's about it.

Men Foil Head Electric Shaver Replacement Blade Accessories Home 21B 32B 32S
Men Foil Head Electric Shaver Replacement Blade Accessories Home 21B 32B 32S

Pros: *It does work with my shaver

Cons: *Not a very close shave at all *Takes longer to use since it doesn't cut that well

Overall Review: I have bought replacement heads before, so this isn't my first try. When I selected this one, I knew it was the cheapest one listed, so maybe I got what I paid for. While it does work, I could tell right away that it doesn't cut that well. It takes me longer to shave since I have to keep going over areas again and again to at least look like I have shaved. I would probably not recommend this product to anyone else.

Works with our Xbox controllers

FirstPower Xbox one keyboard, Mini Wireless Gaming Chatpad Keypad with 3.5mm audio / headset jack and mouse function, keypad game handle for Microsoft Xbox one, Xbox one s controller and PC- 2.4

Pros: *It's convenient to use instead of having to guide your way around to "type" *The extra sound jack is nice if using headphones

Cons: *It does take up some space at the base of your controller. *Still not easy to type with the small buttons (I have big fingers which is my problem) *Takes a little time getting used to *It uses a wireless USB faub which uses a USB port on the Xbox

Overall Review: The keyboard works well, but it does take a little effort to use, especially if you have "fat" fingers like I do. It is bigger than I thought and does change the way you may hold the controller while playing games. Over all I do like it. One little surprise to me is that it uses a wireless USB faub that has to be plugged in to the Xbox to work. In my mind I thought since the controllers were wireless, it would just use the signal from it. I guess that's what I get for thinking. I would recommend it to others.

So far so good...KM

XPG GAMMIX SSD S5 Series: 512GB Internal PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 (NVMe)

Pros: Installed easily. Works well with the motherboard we purchased. Seems to have great R/W speeds but I haven't tested it to see actual speeds.

Cons: So far, really none that I can think of. Maybe price?

Overall Review: This was purchased to replace an older 480GB SSD drive that died. I'm hoping it will continue to work well for a long time to come.

Works well so far

AMD Ryzen 5 1st Gen - RYZEN 5 1600 Summit Ridge (Zen) 6-Core 3.2 GHz (3.6 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 65W YD1600BBAEBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: I can't say a lot other than it works. The CPU was packaged well and the cooling fan supplied went on without too much of a fuss. My son is using this PC as a gaming unit, and he hasn't complained once.

Cons: Had a little trouble understanding mounting instructions for the fan and it took a little bit to figure out how to mount it to the motherboard we had purchased. Other than that, there are no cons I can mention.

Overall Review: I have always been a fan of the AMD processors over the Intel when building my personal rigs. I believe the performance is great for the price when comparing the two brands. I've only built this current rig recently, so only time will tell how well it continues to work.

Good so far

ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Board is compact, but doesn't like in features by any means. It was actually larger than I thought it would be. Fit in my old mid-tower, computer case very well. So far it is working, but only time will tell for how long.

Cons: No real complaints. I will say that at first I was concerned about the SATA connectors for the drives. They are angled in parallel with the MB instead of perpendicular. Not sure how I missed that in the pictures. However, while installing video card, I was glad the angle was different, as the video card would have covered up the slots.

Overall Review: It's hard to give a total review since I haven't had it that long. Just got it installed a week ago. It is working for now.
