If you've tried them and they sound good to you then I see little reason to wait. If you want them then there is obviously a reason you do. Worrying about something that isn't even out yet, when the alternative already is, and already meets your needs isn't a great way to decide on a purchase...

So, she wants great performance but you don't want to get her something flashy and gamer oriented. So, good performance, subdued styling... I can work with that. Also, backlit keyboards are amazing and much easier on the eyes in low light, so maybe backlit but not with an obnoxious color... or...

All you need to ask yourself is if RGB is important to you... and your decision is made. Personally, I'd go with the Z623s. My speakers don't need lights. But more importantly, I get the feeling that the Z623 system is going to be more, for lack of a better word, generic. The G560 is a gamer...

For me, Facebook is useful. We don't have a whole lot of options for communication where I'm at. We have 900 people using a connection that would be considered slow by most home internet standards. So without social platforms and email I wouldn't be able to talk with people back home much or...

At $200 you have a lot of options. Almost the entire PC speaker market minus some really high end Bose stuff. What you also have as an option is one of those Home Theater in a Box setups, which is what I use at home. I got a $199 Sony 500W 5.1 speaker system from Wal Mart some years back and I...

Removable media is getting harder and harder to find on computers in general. Unless it is an SD card reader of some kind, you generally can't take it for granted. Most people just stream movies from Amazon, Google, Netflix, or iTunes nowadays. Shopping for a laptop is a pain in the rear. It is...

Well, I hope the Bluray drive isn't a deal breaker, otherwise I have REALLY bad news, because I can't find anything in this price range that includes one. Otherwise I have a few options, some are better than others, but most fit your requests. First, I'm going to start with HP. Believe me when...

Well, your GPU meets the absolute minimums. It is at least better than the UHD 620, which is the absolute minimum, buy 12%. The problem is that you are basically getting it for entertainment at that level. Almost nothing for games will run. If you just wanted to do pictures and movies you'd...

In all honesty I'd be a lot more opposed to the idea of the Overpowered machine if it didn't have a 2 yr warranty. It is simply the best performing laptop that you can get for the money. Hopefully it is like a Kia from a few years ago, pretty much junk, but you don't have to worry about it...

Forget the scary stuff... The Elder Scrolls 7 is going to have an AMAZING character creation mechanic!

Well, there could be a couple ways. One is to run the Firestick through the HDMI on the receiver, although I'm not certain that those HDMI ports are 4k capable. The other way is if the TV has a dedicated audio out function, which I think it does. You run that to the receiver and HOPEFULLY your...

Even less than that. However, there are kits that run a ribbon cable to that port, have a full sized PCI-E slot, and have connections to power them. I forget what they are called though, but it should be easy enough to find if you google something like cheap external gpu.

Used remotes aren't usually a big deal. Getting one for the TV is going to be the hardest part. Instead might I suggest getting a cheap universal remote? If you can find one for the specific TV then that is best, but a cheap universal one might be the way to go here. Also, I hate to sound rude...
