Nicely detailed collectible character

As an 'add on' to the Disney Infinity 3.0 PS4 game, these characters are fun to collect, but for my 5 year old son, fun to play with after the game console is switched off. I've seen him play for hours with them, outside of the PS4 game. They are nicely detailed and when on sale at Best Buy, a great value too.
Using them within the PS4 game is as simple as placing them on the game board and the character is unlocked straight away.
Overall, a nice addition to the PS4 game experience. Are they necessary? If you want to expand your character set, then yes, not sure of another way to unlock characters without them, but nice for playability after the digital game is turned off.

Very Nicely Designed Machine...
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
Unboxing this machine was a pleasure in itself. As a designer by profession, the exterior packaging is great. Very pleasing to the eye and very tactile. Finally getting to open up and see the 'steampunk' inspired/colored (dark copper/brown, with brass brightwork) was very nice indeed and very refreshing in a sea of laptops. And this laptop is thin! Very thin indeed. Satisfyingly thin!
I am used to machines running OS X, as a designer, so this was new realm for me, firing up Windows 10.
They did a nice job setting up the system, however, there were a few times that the Windows experience let me down, leaving me hanging, not knowing if I was being registered for something or not or if a process was going to complete or not. Finally it all worked out, but had me wondering for a moment or two. This, however, is on Microsoft's end, and definitely not HP's.
So, sitting down in front of the newly fired up PC, I instantly connected to my wifi network, and that is something that has impressed me during my time with the HP Spectre. The time it takes from sleep, to be fully connected back to my wifi is almost instantaneous. Loved that it did that. I am used to waiting for about 40-50 seconds.
The screen is very nice and crisp to look at with vibrant colors, and is incredibly thin. However, I did notice at times, looking at text on various websites, that there was some ghosting, or what appeared to be staggering of text when scrolling. Not a deal breaker, but aesthetically a little disappointing. Would also have been nice, especially at this price point if it were a touchscreen.
The HP Spectre responds very quickly to input on the trackpad, and I was able to reconfigure it to respond how I am used to working. I did notice that sometimes, when you go to scroll, the response can be determined as a click, and that can be frustrating, but overall, very responsive to gestures.
The back-lit keypad is very nice to look at. It's been well thought out and nicely laid out. The travel in the keys could have a little more weight to it, sometimes key presses felt a little 'off center', but overall, very comfortable to type with.
Battery life seems to be fairly strong, given the specs of the machine. I did notice that when the fans spin up (which did appear to be quite regularly) that the battery consumption would increase to a point that was noticeable.
In your hands, this machine is surprisingly light, but without feeling flimsy or cheap. It has weight where it counts, along the hinge, giving a reassuring feeling that the screen is not going to separate from the case after just a few openings. It also comes with a faux leather slipcase for protection.
I have yet to tax the HP Spectre to it's max, but my overall experience with this machine has been very positive. It looks fantastic, and performs very well for what I have used it for so far, typing up documents, surfing the web, downloading/streaming. It is very comfortable at performing those tasks with ease.

Quite Expensive for Additional Features.
on May 29, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
At full price ($10.99 I believe), these additional tokens for the Disney Star Wars Infinity 3.0 set are pretty expensive. Having to couple them with a specific character, makes for having to shell out quite a bit of money.
However, I was fortunate enough to pick these packs up on sale for $1.99. With that said, that price point made them a no brainer to pick up as additions to my son's Star Wars Infinity 3.0 set.
They add features to your character, be it an item of clothing, a special ability, or a vehicle, which are all nice to have, but not essential to the game.
Overall, a nice addition if you can get a good price on them, not necessary for progression in the game though.

This Game is Perfect for My Son!
on May 29, 2016

from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
My son is 5. My son loves Star Wars and he has been watching me play Star Wars Battlefront for a few months now. He has recently wanted to play along with me, but it is a little too complicated for him.
So I wanted to purchase a Star Wars game for just him. Hence looking at the Infinity 3.0 Star Wars game. He loves this game. Being able to have the characters interact with the game is great for him. He is able to switch out characters on demand and play different scenarios. The controls are nice and easy for him to understand.
A beauty of the game is, that we are able to 'award good behavior' or a 'job well done' with a new Star Wars character. That then opens up a whole new set of characteristics for him, which has continued to be a source of continued good behavior for my son, as he is eager to get the next character in the set and so on!
As an adult, this game was a lot more entertaining than I expected it to be, and we've had fun playing it together!

Nice Compact Range Extender
on May 29, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
I've had the Linksys RE7000 for about 3 weeks now, and so far, so good. I have it paired up to a new EA9500 router and connection couldn't have been simpler.
No need to use the included CD with the packaging. Simply plug in the range extender into the power outlet and wait for the blinking green light to finish it's initial configuration process. When ready, press the WPS button on the side. The RE7000 will start to blink orange. Then, press the WPS button on the side of your router and once the orange light stops blinking, and turns solid green, the two will be connected to each other and you are good to go.
You can then move the RE7000 to another part of the room/house/office and then go into your wifi settings on the device you wish to pair and select the same name as the router you ordinarily use, but this time look for the one with EXT on the end. This will be your extended range network.
Once connected you should see notable improvements in your wifi signal strength and speed of upload/download. With a suggested range of 10,000 ft, I expected this product to work well in my 2,400 sq ft home. I've tried it in a few different outlets without a problem. Connection remains strong throughout my house.
The only downside I could see might be the price point for some people, as it is definitely not the cheapest on the market, however, you are getting MU-MIMO connection, supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz extended networks, and a claimed 10,000 sq ft of coverage, so it is a powerful little beast!
Overall I would recommend this product, especially if you have a MU-MIMO router (basically allows all connected devices to have an equal slice of the wifi signal) and the RE7000 now allows that great connectivity to extend further around your property, and even outside in your front or back yard!

Fantastic Next-Generation Router
on May 20, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
This router is a beast! First off, it is big. I have been using an Actiontec router from Verizon for quite a few years, and compared to that, this is huge. It has 8 antenna's on it to provide excellent coverage around your home.
The MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology is a really nice feature, making it feel like every device connected to it has it's own dedicated router. I currently have a 50/50 connection, and have been seeing those speeds through the router, even though I currently have it piggybacked through my Actiontec router (I still need that active for my on-demand TV guides for my STBs around the house).
My son is constantly streaming on his iPad, my wife too, I have a MacBook pro running and our phones connected... along with a plethora of home automation equipment, including Nest Protects/Nest Cams, Honeywell Thermostat, Kevo Doorlocks, Philips Hue Lights, Chamberlain MyQ Garage Opener, Rachio Sprinkler Controller and an Amazon Echo to control it all. Everything is working in sync since the switch over.
And talking of switch-over, the Linksys Smart Wifi lets you access your network anytime, via computer or through the mobile app. There you can see the status of all connected equipment, make changes, rename devices (to make sense to you and not some random Serial No) and even give priorities to the connection of devices. The user interface is also very slick and intuitive.
Another feature I like is the ability to set up a dedicated Guest network. I may have been able to do that on my previous router, but it wasn't intuitive. The Linksys EA9500 made this really easy.
Having 8 Gigabit ethernet ports on the back of the device are great for those of you with Home Automation set ups, where you have to connect several hubs to the router to activate all of the difference products. With my previous router, I had run out of ports to be able to introduce more Smart Home products. This router alleviates that problem, without having to buy an additional switcher.
I've owned the router for about a week now, and haven't had any negative experience with it at all. Set up was a breeze, it auto configures, sets itself up, and then with the Smart Wifi, you can go in and pair down what you need, where you want it, rename devices and to be honest, Linksys have made it feel like you are in control of the device and not the other way around.
I look forward to pushing the router to it's limits in the future as I move to a larger home. But so far, this router is fast, sleek and trouble free.

Fantastic addition to my home theater system!
on May 1, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been wanting to upgrade my speaker system for a while now. I purchased some new Klipsch bookshelf speakers during April Audio month and loved how they sounded as new surround speakers.
So I went ahead and purchased this R-25C center speaker. And I am glad I did. I was using a discrete M&S Systems center speaker which was an upgrade from a previous Sony center speaker I had, but this speaker sounds amazing. So crisp and clean. Nice warm sound without harsh highs.
The speaker is quite large, at least 3 times the size of the M&S speaker I was replacing, but then it has more than 3 times the sound quality!
And the copper cones of the speaker look great too. I rounded out my speaker set up with a pair of R-26F floor standing speakers and I couldn't be happier.
Watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a real treat in my own front room. So glad I finally got round to upgrading.

Great upgrade to my home theater!
on May 1, 2016

from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had been in and out of Best Buy for several months, checking out the Klipsch range of speakers. I loved how they sounded in the store, when compared to the other Polk and Sony speakers on display.
I even went into the Magnolia center to listen to what was on offer there. Sure, the B&W speakers truly do sound amazing, however, I didn't have $2,000 to spend per speaker for my home theater.
So I turned back to the Klipsch Reference R-26F floorstanding speakers. Ordered online, picked them up that night at a local store and set them up right away. These replaced a set of 22 year old Sony bookshelf speakers I had been using. Having the speakers raised up off the floor has totally changed the sound dynamics of my system. I have these coupled with an R-25 Klipsch center speaker and a pair of bookshelf Klipsch speakers for surround sound.
The sound is very crisp and clear. The whole speaker set up has woken up my old Yamaha receiver and changed my movie watching experience.
Very happy with the quality and the look of the speakers. Love the copper cones and the finish to the outside of the speakers too.
Very helpful service from Best Buy as well to get the speakers out to my vehicle.

Great Little SDHC Card
on April 23, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a micro SDHC card for my new dash cam, and wanted a trusted brand to make sure my recordings were safe. Samsung is a trusted name in the industry and they deliver here with this 32GB micro SDHC card.
Quick access by the camera, coupled with a micro SDHC card adapter to review the card on my Macbook, all for a great price.
Don't have any complaints about the card at all.
The packaging however is another story. With the nature of the card being so tiny, trying to get it out of the blister pack packaging without damaging the card was quite a challenge in itself. Even cutting with scissors close to the product didn't allow for easy access.
