Just as described! Fast PCIE 4.0 speeds

Pros: Paired this with a Aorus Z690 ITX with dual M.2 PCIE 4.0 slots. It delivered just as described. Reads are close to 7000MB/s & write is about 6000 MB/s. Pics attached from Atto Benchmark & Crystaldiskinfo for temps. Temperatures are really good for the speeds it delivers. Played Sims 4 & GTA 5 without a hiccup. Everything loaded smooth & quickly, seamless load times.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: This is definitely another level of data transfer. Can see this being great for 8K video & even better for 4K professional media workstations. Rendering & exporting times will be cut in half, of course depending on the rest of your setup.
Moore not bot remote control car with a camera

Pros: You can drive it around to scope out your house. Out of the box it was a really easy network install hassle free. First test drive was fun & amusing with its sideways drive capability. Overall maneuverability is executed well. Night vision is a plus.
Cons: Drove it mid way in my house & when my sister walked by it lost connection & then I had to restart the app to regain the connection. After my nephew walked by in that same spot again it lost connection. Also drove it away from home via 5G & after 5 minutes it lost connection. FYI I have an expensive ASUS Gaming router with really strong signal. Tried 6 times to program it for patrol mode & failed horribly. During a straight path patrol it somehow manages to go crooked crashing into the couch legs & other objects. I believe it CANT see objects so it just runs into them. It doesn't know what a wall is so it keeps trying to drive through. The pet companion or follow mode if just as bad. When it senses you it throws itself back about a foot or 2. Then it tries to follow but it turns the other way loosing you. Then when it does actual follow for a sec it crashes on objects because it doesn't detect them or see them. Pretty much the ONLY proper working feature is as a remote control camera car, period.
Overall Review: This is cool just for checking in around your house for whatever it is you want to look around for but probably not too far depending on your router strength & location. As I mention the Robot function is not functioning patrol & follow. I would recommend this only if you needed a remote control car with a camera because after 2 weeks of testing that seems to be what its actually good for. Instead of calling in to see whos at the house, just turn on the Moore not bot & scope it out.
Power House in Small Package. Excellent Performance Laptop for Gamers & Creators

Pros: Extremely powerful CPU/GPU combo Gorgeous 165Hz WQXGA display Fast 1TB SSD + 32GB LPDDR5X Great for gaming, editing, and multitasking Solid build quality Ive been using the GIGABYTE Gaming A16 Pro for a bit now, and its easily one of the most powerful laptops Ive owned. The combination of the Intel Core 7 240H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers outstanding performance across gaming, content creation, and multitasking. Modern AAA titles run smoothly at high settings, and the system stays surprisingly cool for the amount of power its pushing. The 16-inch 2560×1600 WQXGA display is a standout feature. The 165Hz refresh rate makes everythingfrom gaming to everyday browsingfeel incredibly fluid. Colors are vibrant, text is sharp, and the taller 16:10 aspect ratio is great for productivity. Storage and memory are more than enough for demanding workloads. The 1TB SSD provides fast load times, and the 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM ensures smooth performance even with multiple heavy applications open. Build quality feels solid, and despite the high-end hardware, the laptop remains relatively portable. Fan noise is noticeable under heavy load, but thats expected with this level of performance.
Cons: Fans can get loud during intense gaming. Battery life is average (expected for this hardware).
Overall Review: If youre looking for a high-performance gaming laptop that also excels at creative workloads, the GIGABYTE Gaming A16 Pro is a fantastic choice. It delivers top-tier performance, a beautiful display, and excellent hardware for the price.
Useful eye candy

Pros: Easy installation. Didn't have to juggle around holding the back bracket to the heatsink. Fans were already installed. Came with thermal paste tube & thermal paste already applied on the heatsink. Real-time stats CPU, GPU & load thermal temp option on the 6.5-inch AMOLED extremely helpful. Didn't hit higher then 50c with an i5-12400f. The additional fan on the heatsink is a plus! Very quiet. Dual 120mm PWM fans with up to 2000 RPM, delivering 75 CFM each while maintaining sub-30 dBA noise levels. 3-phase Pump motor offering up to 2.5 meters of water head pressure, ensuring efficient coolant flow. Custom videos, GIFs, and branding logos.
Cons: The AMOLED housing is a bit large blocking the radiator fan air flow. That's only an issue if your going to use a budget Micro ATX case.
Overall Review: Solid build, thick heavy duty fans. If your looking for an animated cyberpunk style feel setup, definitely recommend this TRYX AIO.
Simple & easy to use!

Pros: User-friendly interface, suitable for beginners and professionals alike. Good for quick and simple edits Tutorials for beginners to learn the basics of editing media.
Cons: Program Lagged with RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, i5-12400, 2TB NVMe SSD PCIE 3.0 X4 & 16GB Ram 3200 MHz Possible limitations
Overall Review: The 2024 edition of Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements offers an easy-to-use set of photo editing and video production tools. Each program has three options to choose from, Quick, guided, and advanced. It is easy to switch between these modes and is convenient when needing a specific tool, or need to learn how to use one. This software package has a simple, yet powerful interface, making it accessible to beginners while catering to more experienced users' needs. However, during testing, a few issues arose. The Blur tool in Photoshop Elements was lagging at first, but after some time it worked as expected. It did result in an unexpected smudgy display before resuming functionality. This was surprising because the PC used to test the program is fairly powerful. This was mostly the only notable drawback that was encountered while testing out this software. There were no notable issues in Premiere elements. It is very easy to use and it has very useful tools for simple video editing. In conclusion, Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 2024 is an amazing tool for beginners and professionals to easily make simple and unique creations. However, the possible bugs and delays may hinder the flow of ones work, but with updates in the future that might be fixed & no longer be an issue.
Built for speed!

Pros: I've been using the Crucial T700 2TB SSD with my ASUS Z790 Prime WIFI motherboard, which unfortunately doesn't support PCIe Gen5 but does support Gen4. Despite this limitation, the performance has been impressive. Transferring a hefty 100GB of data takes just around 3 to 5 minutes from my Gen3 SSD. Testing benchmark results, the ATTO benchmark indicates read and write speeds of approximately 6.6GB. This is a substantial improvement over Gen3 speeds, which averaged around 3.5GB for both read and write operations. It's clear that each generational leap is doubling the data transfer performance, underscoring the significance of upgrading. According to the specifications of the T700, it's designed to achieve speeds of up to 12.4GB for both read and write with Gen5 support. While I'm currently operating with Gen4, I'm happy that my setup is delivering highest performance gains. One aspect I've been mindful of is temperature control. Despite pushing the boundaries, my setup has managed to maintain temperatures under 52°C under. It's worth noting that I'm achieving this with a single 90mm intake fan, highlighting the efficiency of the components even under load.
Cons: The heatsink might present a bit of an inconvenience, particularly when the only available M.2 SSD slot is positioned beneath a PCIE X16 slot designated for the GPU. Due to its considerable height, the heatsink may not have enough clearance to fit beneath the GPU.
Overall Review: Having recently upgraded my motherboard last month, I'm eagerly anticipating another upcoming upgrade to truly put the performance of this SSD to the test, particularly with M.2 SSD Gen5 support. I'm even considering the possibility of utilizing dual T700 SSDs. Could this potentially result in a 100GB transfer completed in just a single minute? If so, it would stand as one of the fastest data transfer rates I've witnessed thus far. The prospect of achieving such remarkable speed has me genuinely excited for what's to come. In conclusion, the Crucial T700 2TB SSD has undoubtedly breathed new life into my system, showcasing the incredible benefits of Gen4 technology. While my motherboard may not support Gen5, the substantial performance increase over Gen3 is crystal clear. The efficient temperature management further underscores the quality of these components. If you're looking for a significant boost in speed and overall system responsiveness, the Crucial T700 is a worthy investment.
