Did not realize this was an opinion thread, I thought it was a purchased thread.

If people can suggest to buy something specific here, I assume it's as perfectly possible to suggest not to buy something. If they want to know why I think it's not a good investment they can message me, or reply to my Apple switch post and I'll explain in great detail.

Just decided to pull the trigger on this lens, which is currently on order. They won't be released until June. I have pre-ordered it.

I have waited for quite a long time, greater than a year, to find one of these, an MB-23 for my F4. They are rare as hen's teeth unless they are attached to an F4 body. It is immaculate, just like my camera body. The only downside was it came from Turkey (I got it on Ebay) and I think they sent it via camel, it took 3 weeks to get here. It changes it from an F4S to an F4E but that is insignificant. Granted, this battery pack is more attractive than the MB-21 I have had for years, but there is one HUGE advantage it has; EASE OF CHANGING BATTERIES. With the MB-21, you must remove the entire battery pack and change 3 batteries in the bottom and 3 in the grip. Now, I just pull the tray out, like all of the battery packs now, and change all 6. No more taking off the entire pack in the dark to change batteries.

I second that motion.
I only buy ASUS and have not been disappointed.
My laptop and tablet are ASUS and my DIY home built PC is based on an ASUS Motherboard. (I never thought I'd ever build my own but it was easier than I had imagined - like Lego for techie geeks).
If you have money to burn their ZEN line is sweet but all are good. And of course you need a ROG (Republic of Gamers) there top of the line, top of the price list. BUT oh so sweet.
Keep in mind that soon all will be Windows Ten - but if you get an 8 it will be upgraded for free.
I'm using Windows 8 and it took a bit to get used to but now I would not go back. Lots of bad press which I believe was unwarranted.

I agree with Fortkentdad here. I use nothing but ASUS motherboards. They're excellent! I build my own computers, and have never had a problem with them.

As for Windows 10....that's what I'm using now! :) Anyone using Windows 7 and 8 can download the .msi for free right now!

Been tempted to go upgrade to Windows 10 but thought I'd best wait until I had some time to rebuild. I originally built my DIY board for Windows 8 - bought the first copy out of the local store when it went on retail sale. BUT at that time many of my games didn't like Windows 8 and I was using Elements and it kept crashing - was told it wasn't Win8 ready yet. (Ver 10). So I bought another SSD (had put one in to host the OS and data on a 2T) and on my second SSD I reloaded Windows 7 and created a dual boot PC. (Keep in mind this was my first ever DIY build). And it worked (still works) but can't recall last time I booted to Win7. Have moved onto newer games (yep a gaming grandpa here - like simulators, trains, plains and automobiles). So now I'm trying to decide on what is the best upgrade path. Ditch Windows 7, and then repurpose that SSD as my active image drive. I have a 2T and a 3T internal drive in this beast now along with the two SSD's. (and three external drives outside - my redundancy is redundant).

That's why I'm not in Windows 10 yet.

And fearing that my 'new' Windows 8 games may not like Windows 10.

Need to ensure that Corel's Aftershot and Painshop will make the transition for sure.

Anyone using those programs on a Win10 machine yet?

I didn't know Win 10 was out already.
