this will be my 4th Induction I no longer use my stove top

Pros: The Fry pan alone was worth the sale price. it is thick metal, AMAZING! Boils water faster then microwave
Cons: Iprefer non round units as the fit tighter together on counter top in no way a deal breaker.
Overall Review: For 17 CLams Just WOW! even if the unit don't last long - No idea, The pan alone was worth the price. An induction range cost start at $800. I am not too proud to have these on my nice Granite counter top! I no longer use my range. I have 4 of these now for large meals. I keep 2 in my kitchete in my basement , and 2 in the main kitchen. I just set the temp- time and walk away, It cannot be more simple. BOiling water for tea takes less then 30 seaconds, I have gotten so used to them, I make perfect rice everytime. And I do not have to watch it. Reheating single serve soup takes 30-45 seconds! you have no time to do anything else except grab a bowl and a spoon! It is HOT! There is no better way to reheat pizza then on a flat cast iron skillet at medium- low temp for 10 minutes! The crust gets crisp and the cheese is melted . I can go on and on how usefull these are But I simply love the fry pan, as I have all stainless, and nothing sticks to this one!
Unstable write speeds

Pros: Warrenty
Overall Review: Got this as a redundant back up drive. Was copying 500 gig to it, started at 500 mb/s, Quickly dropped to 240 and still dropping halfway through the transfer. I have older "gold" ssd's fro the same maker. I normally only buy teamgroup. as I have never had bad things to say about them. The golds have a very stable 460 mb/s transfer speed, but sadly are no longer sold. I guess I will look into cheaper brands for my next drives as I only require redundant back up drives now. And why pay more when they are not stable speeds. Redundants will be very rarely used. Speed is at 166 mb/s and dropping, not even at 70%. Very disappointed!
Smart design, to a point!

Pros: Does everything it promotes, BUT!
Cons: Except when you have to pick it up to reposition. Absolutely no grip. SERIOUSLY? Am I the only one that picks up a mouse?
Overall Review: Guess I will pull out a tiny drill bit and safely make some holes where my Thumb and small fingers go to allow grip. Rough Sand paper will work if you care not about appearance. This is a HUGE fail on the design! Not one of my many other mice has this over-site. A great addition would be more than just 2 thumb buttons. My fav new mouse has 12. 6 would be great! See the no longer made Logitech G602, Loved that old guy retired many over the decades.
Got it for 8k

Pros: Not enough time for... It Died
Cons: It Died
Overall Review: I have been with PC's since 1978 I still use "to this date" Aug 2025. My old RX 580's How old are they? LOL They only do 4k, sadly
Major disappointment

Pros: Huge heat displacement radiator.
Cons: No performance gain from the same level GPU that is 6 years old.
Overall Review: I have been building game PC's since 1998 ,Owned countless ATI-AMD gpu's. Every upgrade was an improvement. Until the 6800 which is not the top of the line - but this is the level I buy 2nd from the top. This was replacing a 6 year old RX580 - LOVE the 580 - which was not top of the line either. Same place as the 6800.. I tested on a "clean" rig - Obvious clean install of the required drivers. Tested on both windows 7 and 11. I have been doing PC's for a very long time. Games tested were Breakpoint , Wildlands, Farcry5 and 6. I had the exact same performance and on 2 of the games worse. And from a GPU that I payed almost twice.I was not expecting a night and day difference , but none and worse? This will sadly be my last AMD gpu. I will look into the new intels in a year or 2 -give them some time. AND do not say just get a GTX, I know too much about them! Will never try another. Those dogs bit me 3 times, through the years.
Almost prefect design

Pros: It was new ,and great price.
Cons: Location of the sata ports limits how many you can use with a GPU installed.
Overall Review: This replaces a Z 77 Pro board, and the Sata ports being in a bad spot aside. I am very happy with it.
they are clueless
they give wrong tracking info, they said ask USPS , which it was was UPS , then sent a replacement with wrong tracking , and they say it was the first ship= FACEPALM I have been with NE for over 10 years - never had issues before these Newbes! good luck
