Cons: none so far
Overall Review: Very satisfied with all of my WD storage drives
Working well.....now
Pros: Very quiet, very fast. Stays cool to the touch.
Cons: - needed to be sent back to ASUS after one month. They were excellent to work with and the repaired machine was returned quickly - purchased the ASUS BD player/burner and the ASUS docking stations; turns out the installed graphics card does not support Blu-Ray playback. The docking station HZ-3A USB 3.0 ports occasionally behave like 2.0. Again, I received good communications from ASUS, but the intermittent messages, "your device and work faster" becomes an annoyance - not sure how I will figure out which graphics card supports HDCP and Blu-Ray disk playback, or who will install it for me
Overall Review: If I had know all of the above was going to happen, I would have selected another product. I do feel I received a lot of computer for the money and a lot of support for the small amount of money spent. Mark me as satisfied, but the first two months experience good have been better. I blame myself for poor research.
Back in stock at reasonable price
Pros: lots and lots of cores
Cons: waiting for available inventory at or below MSRP
Overall Review: Installed in MSI Gaming M7 Ac using BIOS 1C1. Worked on first start. Quite powerful for a home computer.
Some setup required
Pros: Working as advertised. My purchase was a refurbished unit. Looked brand new, However, had to "break" the bond to the previous users WIFI. Took a bit of patience to get it to join my WIFI. Once paired, it needed a firmware update. Kasa APP works well. End result is good.
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: Education gained in this trial will help me add more WIFI devices to my house in the future.
Using as a keyboard mat.
Pros: Perfect size for my use as an RGB feature in my gaming system. I have a Zalman K900M keyboard and a wrist support sitting on this mat. The RGB border is working good.
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: I am delighted with this purchase
Perfect size for my application
Pros: It's BLUE! It's the perfect mate in size to the Zalman X900M keyboard. It is comfortable to the touch with just the right amount of cushion.
Cons: None so far
Fast order processing and product delivery
Competitive pricing on name brand PC hardware. Fast order processing. Safe packaging. Fast delivery.
fast and clear communications
nice bargain, fast delivery, courteous customer service
Solid Construction, infinite programmable features, yet easy to use
I have two of these keyboards. Both are working well. RGB lighting is easy to control and I think it adds to the atmosphere of my computer room.
