Microsoft Small Computer

[50"] Did you know that you can't even get the computer to work without a Microsoft Login now? Super annoying.

[8 GB] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this notebook! It is faster than my older Gram, has more memory, and storage. It arrived in perfect condition. The screen is bright and clear even with the brightness turned down to about 60%. I haven't fully tested out the battery life yet but it seems at least as good as my Gram which was very good. Biggest problem I had was moving my programs from the Gram to the Gram Pro since the Gram was on Win 10 while the Pro is on Win 11. LG provides a program to help with this (PCmover Pro) but I had to update and reinstall my security (BitDefender) and backup programs (Acronis). In general, Microsoft makes it difficult to move non Microsoft products from computer to computer and should be scolded for this but this is not LG's fault.

[5.395 lb] Good computer that met my needs. B&H Tech conner set it up and transfer my microsoft and quicken accounts. They also connected the wireless mouse to it.

[260 W with IEC] Bought this Dell Optiplex 7010 to replace an older Dell computer that was getting old and slow. This new one is much smaller than my old unit, runs very quiet and stays cool. First time I have used Windows 11 but I found it pretty intuitive and the initial setup was very easy even for this low tech guy. Can't believe how fast this computer boots up! My only complaint, and this is a Microsoft issue I think, is that the installed media player has no provision to rip CD's that I can find. (Told you I am low tech). That is the main reason I bought a computer with an optical drive. I ended up having to download the legacy media player from the Microsoft store and now I am a happy camper. Great machine so far.

[1x PCIe] Bought a Sound Blaster because of problems with sound on my brand new computer. Microsoft couldn't fix it, the compute OEM couldn't fix iit, and I was faced with returning the computer -- after I had installed and copied over all my stuff. The solution? The inexpensive Sound Blaster card. It plugged in in snap, drivers loaded without a hitch, and -- like the headline says -- it works. Quite nicely, I might add.

[4.0] As soon as I connect, the computer immediately detected the Microsoft surface mouse and keyboard. It's fast and no has delay. Does not fail even in situations of intense use such as line drawing or fast typing.

[1x USB-C] I had known of Razer for a few years as a maker of gaming accessories and components in the PC market, but not as a computer manufacturer, and even if I did know they made computers, it was swamped out by being somewhat of a Microsoft Surface or Apple product snob. I read a few reviews of this product (Blade 14), and BestBuy had a them on display - my first impression was wow this thing looks really well made - something most gaming laptops are lacking, second impression is that it had less cheese factor than most gaming computers, and third impression was how well engineered and responsive it was. And the power in a 14 whose screen, touchpad, tolerances, fit, feel and finish were better than the Microsoft SurfaceBook and probably equal to a MacBook Pro. Yes, expensive, but it looked and felt worth it. I bought the Ryzen 9 RTX 3080 version and two weeks in I am impressed enough now to actually write a review - this is a great machine with no caveats in my mind, and worth what they are charging - the experience is reflected in the very professional and on-brand collateral materials, their web presence, etc. Razer is - surprise - a very top tier player, something I definitely didn't think of them as. Very happy with this purchase. The machine is powerful, smooth, refined, etc. as it should be and without any obvious compromises. If you want a top-tier computer, not just a gaming computer, this company belongs in your consideration set.

[1 User] It's the worst but what can you do? I'd rather pay through b&h than straight to microsoft.

[Yes] Works all the same as the other Microsoft Xbox one controllers, but costs less
