Great product for an amazing price
on July 22, 2017
Posted by: CantThinkOfANickname
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this as part of the laptop graduation package for my son, in preparation for college.
The laptop he chose is very lightweight - and part of that deal is no DVD drive.
That's where this product comes in.
I was amazed at the price (on sale) so much, I bought another one just for me.

You will love the feel and style

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Microsoft arc touch that I use with my work laptop. It is USB, and I lost the USB thing once. I then found out the mouse wouldn't work (can not buy a replacement, they do not use a standard frequency). I bought another one just because I really enjoy this mouse - great tactile feel, very portable for travel, great design.
Well, this purchase was for my son. This uses the bluetooth link for connection. All the features of arc and no USB device to lose!
If your laptop has bluetooth, get this version over the USB!

Bought this on sale, could not believe getting 4TB USB 3.0 drive for the price.
This is fully powered by the USB connection, no additional power needed.
Fast and capable.

Best solution for a messed up PC
on July 22, 2017
Posted by: CantThinkOfANickname
Verified Purchase:Yes
So our desktop computer, in use for 7 years and still very serviceable, was accidentally upgraded to Windows 10. During that period of "optional free upgrade" it found a way to download itself and kept trying to upgrade. I took the plunge and it worked ok. I really wanted to stay on Windows 7.
It was fine, for what it's worth. At least for what we do with this home desktop we got no more functionality and had to put up with slower response times.
Then Windows 10 started acting up. No menus would appear. Just a bunch of annoying things that after googling around were fixed with time and effort. I thought the thing was finally situated. THEN the EVENT happened. No idea why, but it acted strange then on rebooting took forever, then I could not do a restore. The PC would not recognize the keyboard or mouse, so it's not possible to do a repair or restore.
After lots of research I downloaded a new Windows 10 off the microsoft site using another machine, and burned a bootable DVD. From that supposedly I could have it boot, and then attempt an O/S repair (versus a new O/S install).
I'll spare you the agony of reading about our frustration, but the repair did not work and I had all our data and family pictures inaccessible. I did a new Windows 10 install, and the machine is back with all our data intact.
So what does all that saga have to do with this purchase? Because it was a new install I needed to get a new Windows 10 license. After research the best deal was to get this from Bestbuy.
Important hint: you can save some money by getting the "OEM edition". Don't. Those are then tied to the machine you install it and register.. Getting this version gives you a license for ANY computer. I figure this machine will work for another year or three, and then I can use the license on a new machine we build or upgrade.
Bottom line: Anyone can download the OS from microsoft, but you will eventually need to register it with a product key. Doing a completely fresh install fixed the weird stuff from the upgrade, and buying this product means you can use it on another machine when the old one is decommissioned.
I give this a 4 star rating rather than 5, only because I am annoyed that we needed to buy Windows 10, when we were legal Windows 10 users before the machine crashed. If you have to do it, this is the product to buy.

Great laptop for a college student
on July 22, 2017
Posted by: CantThinkOfANickname
Verified Purchase:Yes
So this was a high school graduation present for my son who is going to college in the fall. We got him the new Epson color inkjet printer that uses inktanks as the surprise, but the laptop is something very personal that he had to pick out. We went to Bestbuy of course plus Costco, Sams, Amazon and some other computer shops.
First, having the ability to see, type on, lift and really test out a laptop was critical for him - and Bestbuy had the best selection in the store.
It needed to be powerful with the most current features because we wanted it to last at least four years.
What was interesting to me was how much three characteristics were priorities for him..
First was the size. Portability was critical. He not only prized lightweight and thin, but also size. Surprising to me was that we could get a 15" screen model for less money with the same features yet the 13.3" screen on this model was "perfect". I think he is right on this point!
The second was brand, but I think this is really about quality. HP was his strong preference and I think a good part of that was quality and durability. We know HP really knows how to design a reliable and durable laptop.
The third was features. Athough it needed to be thin and light we wanted the latest generation i7 processor, well equipped with system memory and storage. The touchscreen, and ability to flip it like a tablet, seems really nice.
I didn't have personal experience with solid state drives. The speed and reliability these days of SSD are excellent. I was worried about him having enough. With 256GB this has very good capacity. What sold it for us is the ridiculously low prices on external hard drives. Bestbuy had a 4TB USB3 drive on sale. That will be the backup, as well as the place to dump rarely used files if he ever does get close to filling up the 256gb laptop drive.
With the "big three" explained, my son simply loves this machine. It has lots of nice features, like the B&O speakers built in, that are nice.
We think we got a really great laptop for a really great price - better price/performance than we could find at Costco and Sams.
One negative that we have seen so far is that the cooling fan can sound loud.
Strongly recommend this machine for students, and for anyone that travels.

Biggest Bang for your Buck on Console
on January 7, 2017
Posted by: CantThinkOfANickname
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game changed first person shooters, (an over saturated genre in today's time) for the better. The stories are modern classics, and even though there is no multiplayer you are still getting 3 amazing games for the price of one (or lower). Each game has enough of a story to with big twists to keep you going back to it after one play through.
Additionally each part of the story is unique, this game makes you think twice before you preform an action and is not just another run and gun game. Each story is so unique that no other game on the market can compete with the series. If you love games with stories that make you think about the game after it is over, if you love games that give an ominous vibe, if you love great deals then I would recommend this to you. Now even if you have one or more of the games on last gen I would recommend that you still get this game, with added bonuses such as a gallery to look around in, all of the DLC (Which was highly rated even today), and updated graphics (1080p 60 frames per second) it almost feels like you are playing something different, something better. This game is truly a collection to one of the most influential franchises of all time.
I would only recommend that you stay away from this game if 1) you prefer multiplayer and/or you like more casual games such as madden or fifa (you can still get and like this game if you like those games but it hasa different feel) and do not like story based games that offer depth or 2) if you are a young age as this game is a stronger rated M not just with the violence and actions but also with the themes that they propose.
If you have been getting tired of video games, want a change of pace from the same old games, or need to start a collection of games/ have nothing to play, this game would be perfect.
