AMD A10 PRO 8850B - Great performer with good speed
Two reasons for making this purchase. Web surfing and to play more modern games. I have used laptops for years and years because it was easy to pack up and take anywhere. Now that phones are pretty much computers, I thought it was time to buy a better system that I can keep at home. That said, the AMD A10 PRO 8850B is an amazing little CPU/APU. Since it accepts 2133 mhz ddr3 ram (which I also got) it makes the world of difference. Web surfing is slick and smooth. Gaming has been a complete blast! It isn't Intel, it is AMD. For AMD it is exactly what I was looking for in speed and for a quad core system it works great! I do some photography and using Photoshop has also become a quick breeze (not 12 core speed) but a breeze nonetheless. Looking for a cheap PC build this is a great CPU/APU combo and worth the price. One thing to remember with every CPU there are limits, this one has limits, it will not give you 8k gaming etc. Not sure about VR because I am using only the APU not running SLI or Crossfire. Maybe doing that could boost the experience in gaming. For a CPU that came out in 2016 it isn't all that.

Great motion fluidity, clear and tack sharp
Pros:
► Screen is bright, clear, very sharp and colorful
► Diopter knob has nice clicks when changing +/- setting
► Clicks and locks in place when in the down position
► When moved up it stays in its place, no falling back down.
► Using manual lenses I would highly recommend the VF-4.
Cons:
► The screen picks up grease easily and it is a little hard to clean.
► The depth of the screen is shallow and hard to use with any eye-wear.
► Some difficulty on bright days due to a small eye cup. Wish it was larger.
On bright sunny days it can become quite the nuisance. I seem to cup my
hand over the EVF to block out light. Living in Arizona we have quite a lot
of bright sunny days.
