Fantastic LED Bulbs!

Foreverlamp A55 6W Omnidirectional A19 LED Light Bulb, Warm White

Pros: Great bulbs! They are brighter than I anticipated. Virtually the same size as a regular one. Upon receipt, I accidentally dropped one while taking it out of the box and it just bounced. :-) Needless to say it was the first one I tried and it lit right up! If you're thinking about making the switch, try these. There is no "warm up" phase either; they're bright right from the start.

Cons: None for now.

Overall Review: The only reason I didn't give these 5 eggs is because I've only had them about a month and from some of the things I've heard, these types of bulbs sometimes quit working after a short period. If this happens to me, I'll update this post.

Good but be careful...

Pros: I bought this for my youngest son so he could play Minecraft, watch YouTube, etc. I was hesitant to buy AMD because all of the bad reviews they've gotten over the years but I didn't want to spend a lot for his first computer. Now I'm wishing I had (see the cons below). Extremely easy setup. Runs 2016 games pretty well and prior years games even better. Nice to look at. Price point for what you get is right on. Not one problem until this week...

Cons: 5 months in and the rear case fan goes out on a Monday. No biggie, I had spares and switching out would be easy. However, before I had a chance to do it, on Wednesday the CPU fan freezes up. Now dead in the water. I have many spare parts from years of building PC's but none matching the AMD platform. Now I'm stuck having to contact CyberPower for replacement parts. :-( One other thing, some reviews mentioned that it does run hot and this is true. Not sure whether the heat had anything to do with this but heat is never good for a PC. I assumed three case fans would suffice... Well maybe if they didn't freeze up. lol

Overall Review: I would probably buy this model again but I think I would step it up to the next level. Maybe get the Intel platform. Here's to hoping that there won't be any warranty issues...

Great picture; Design flaw though...

Pros: Big screen for the price. Quality of the picture is excellent. ASUS components I've purchased in the past have always been solid. That's one of the reasons I purchased this brand. Can even be used as a HD TV if you have an HD box.

Cons: Purchased September 5th and buttons pushed into the casing today. When I tried to pull them out, the clips that are supposed to hold them in place broke. Not a very good design in my opinion. They seemed sort of flimsy from the beginning but I didn't give it much more thought. I won't make that mistake again. Would have been better if they would have put them flush on the front instead of at an angle.

Overall Review: Now I have to go through the trouble of RMA'ing it through ASUS because I've had it more than the 30 days. Not very happy. I will post again with an update once I've contacted them.
