Xbox Cloud Gaming Updates

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serves as my work-from-home monitor and is also used for gaming and watching TV when not working. The available apps cover all my streaming needs, the picture quality is excellent. There is also an option to use the latest game streaming services (Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or Google Stadia [though this service has been recently discontinued]). The built-in speakers are even pretty good. Especially considering what you typically get with a monitor. You can also connect Bluetooth speakers and have the TV route audio through it instead. The remote works very well and has some quick launch buttons for the more common streaming apps as well. It may take a little getting used to, at first. Since it doesn't really have "input" switching buttons. Instead, you navigate to the different types of devices that you have connected (or apps installed). So, when you're wanting to play Xbox, you would go to the gaming section on the home screen and select either the physical Xbox that's connected or launch the Xbox Cloud app to stream games. My only real complaint with this monitor is that the stand isn't adjustable. I'd like to raise it just slightly higher. It is at a pretty good height, but I would like it just a little higher for my personal preference.

I don’t do any major work on this CPU. I do some graphic design, gaming on XBOX game pass, and some work. Great overall performance. Graphics struggled a little streaming Starfield with cloud gaming, but still very playable. I had an occasional glitch/lag but that could have also been the stream from XBOX cloud gaming. Everything else has been solid!

I like the idea that I no longer have to buy updates, and while I CAN use the cloud, I don't have to. I can still store all files locally.

Great software and with the cloud I always have the most current edition, bug fixes, and updates that automatically notify me when needed. As a student the subscription is a lot easier to pay for than buying the entire software bundle at once.

I have been skeptical of subscription plans, and have always bought a disk and waited for the large updates before buying a new disk, My thinking is that there is always a catch to upgrade your subscription. I bought this after B&H put it on sale as it would be about what I would pay for the disks when they went on sale. The Adobe subscription model for cloud is different from what my past experiences have been, because of the value of the package you get over the disk, cloud service, updates as they available, mobile service. The program downloaded with no issues. It set up a new catalog and found that the old catalog migrated to the new one. (I did go back in and rename it) I also have the old catalogs, and the program will ask you if you want to update them to the CC 6 format. Using this program seems much more robust then the 5.7.1 that I was using before and has definite advantages that help with the work flow. So yes I would recommend this program.

I have used Microsoft 365 for several years and find it convenient when updates are made to the system. I like the one drive cloud storage and the ability to share with members of my family.

Been using Photoshop and Lightroom for quite some time and was hesitant to use the Creative Cloud but realized that this is really very cost effective and you get all the updates as they become available. To get the updates prior to this it took many months to years and cost much more. This bundle is very cheap per month and pays for itself every time you use it. Happy Photography to everyone!

After doing some needed updates and installs, this is a great netflix/youtube/Retro Arch gaming streaming box.
