I bought this monitor for my late 2012 Mac mini. To get the full 2560 x 1440 resolution, I needed to buy a DisplayPort to mini DisplayPort cable. It's almost like having a retina display. The text and icons are nearly as sharp as they are on my retina MacBook Pro. The colors are accurate. The display is very bright. I'm impressed that such a low cost monitor is made out of aluminum rather than silver colored plastic. Only the back is made of plastic. I was considering buying an Apple Thunderbolt display, but this may have been a better choice. This monitor is two inches smaller than the Apple display, but it has the same number of pixels. When you pack the same number of pixels into a smaller display, you end up with a sharper picture. I'm running OS X El Capitan on my Mac, and the new split screen feature in OS X works great on this monitor.

I would give it a 4.5 but this computer does come pre-installed with a lot of bloat wear. Meaning software and program companies pay bit brand computer computer big dollars for computers to be sold pre-installed with there software. Many computer companies are doing this these days. The bad thing is this bloat where is exactly as it sounds it makes your computer run slow as hell sometimes to the point of freezing. Removing the bloat where is a good option and improves the computer greatly. Only thing is some of the bloat wear on the computer is asus bloat wear and removing the wrong thing could make the computer crash or become worse. Its best if you know how to properly unistall programs or get someone who does. This being said with the effort or removing bloat wear and now with doing computer updates. Its losing a star and a half because of the work to get it to be a good working and fun functioning computer. I give this computer a 4.5 star because with updates and bloat wear removal it works really good.

Tried pampers from nearby CVS and ordered bulk on amazon. Could not tolerate the chemical smell !! Initially thought , we may not have paid attention to smell with Pampers from CVS. After reading reviews of fake pampers, tried again to compare with store bought ones. These are so ridiculously chemical smelling... sent them back immediately

I decided to give Roxio Creator a try because I have been looking for a DVD burning software that I am happy with. So far, I have been unable to find anything. Windows DVD Maker and Nero 11 Platinum have both given me DVD's with extremely horrible quality. Most anything else I have tried, have obviously been too terrible to even remember the name. But, Roxio takes the cake. Not only did I struggle to install the software onto my HP, but when I finally get to the point to write a DVD, it is so extremely difficult that I now have a headache. It is not user friendly in the slightest. I tried to write asingle DVD with the minimum features and Roxio somehow came out that the file was FOUR TIMES too big to burn onto a DVD-R. An MPEG-2 file that began at 1.32GB, was now at 12GB after Roxio added a simple menu to it. Roxio Creator is definitely the worst DVD authoring software that I have ever used. Now, you may look at other reviews for insight on other features that RC12 may have, but I am definitely unhappy. It cannot write a DVD at all, and the DivX Media converter is horrible. I currently use Clone2Go Video Converter for any media conversions and I have yet to find one that works better. So, in summation, if you're looking at Roxio Creator 2012 for the same reasons I was, do yourself a favor. Look elsewhere.
