Great Upgrade - Great Deal at Best Buy
on July 7, 2018
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This version of the Apple Watch incorporates several improvements over my original watch including: much better battery life (I'm now experiencing almost two full days on a charge compared to one full day with the previous watch), and a water resistant feature that allows much more freedom of activities while outdoors. I traded in my original watch and received $63.00 toward the purchase at a Best Buy discounted price. Purchased online and picked up at my local Best Buy store one hour after ordering. What's not to like?!

Great upgrade from iPhone SE
on November 24, 2017
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of many iPhones we've had in our family and it replaced my wife's iPhone SE. While she liked the SE because of its smaller form factor; "it fits neatly in my purse", the relatively small screen made viewing text and graphics difficult. I recommended an upgrade to iPhone 7, which I have, and that's what she did. Now we both have 7's we are both happy.

Can't Get Much Better
on February 13, 2017

from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this 2016 55" LG OLED from Best Buy for use in our master bedroom. Being so impressed with our 2015 65" LG OLED in our family room, also a Best Buy purchase, we decided to get a second one. With its incredible UHD display, smart features like WebOS 3.0 with built-in web browser, and super-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi to link to our dual-band router it can't get much better than this for at-home entertainment. For peace of mind we purchased Geek Squad Protection plans for each TV for coverage beyond the one-year LG warranty. Overall we're very pleased with these TVs and the great deal we got from Best Buy.

I purchased this hard drive to replace a failing Seagate drive in my EX495 HP Media Smart Home Server. Installation was easy and the drive was recognized, formatted and ready for use without any difficulties.

A Great Phone, But...
on October 15, 2016
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from the Space Gray 6S/64GB to the Black 7/128GB model because I was eligible in my AT&T Next Plan. Now that I've had the new phone for a while I can say the upgrade probably was not necessary and waiting for iPhone 8 would have been a smarter move on my part. While the new features are nice, I don't see much of a performance improvement over the 6S. The black finish is good looking, but is just as slippery as the Space Gray finish without a protective case. I'll most likely come to better appreciate the new features the longer I use the phone. Battery life is slightly improved, but still shortened when the phone is paired with Apple Watch. The upgrade process was, as usual, very smooth at my local Best Buy store, and the phone was available on the first day since I was not interested in the hard-to-find 7 Plus.

With so many devices in use, your home network is busier than ever. This Linksys router can eliminate slowdown and interference by delivering Wi-Fi signals directly to each device, so everyone can listen to music, stream movies, and shop or game online at the same time..

A Supetb Router

from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This router is a great improvement over my EA6900 in overall performance on the 5 GHZ band. Whereas the EA6900 did not, it fills my two-story, 2850 sq ft home with the strong wireless AC signal I want for the several AC clients on my wi-fi network. The router firmware is also greatly improved.

A Perfect Upgrade
on May 9, 2016
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The iPhone SE is the perfect upgrade for certain users who don't want the larger 6S or 6S Plus, but want the new technology, features and performance of those larger phones. And, that includes my wife who saw the SE that way. With almost all the same features of the iPhone 6S series, but the form factor of the smaller 5/5S series, she was finally convinced it was time to upgrade. Now she's got a new phone with tons of new features that will still fit into that perfect compartment in her favorite purse. She loves the Rose Gold finish, the extra storage space of 64GB and much faster performance than her old 4S. All in all, the SE is the right phone for her needs, and Best Buy, as always, gave us a great deal. Now we have the SE, 6S and Apple Watch in our family. Doesn't get much better than this!

Surpried - Pleasantly
on January 16, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Used this adapter to convert a Win7 desktop PC from 802.11N to AC and the difference was very surprising. Wireless connection speed jumped to 867mbps from 130mbps when connected to the 5Ghz side of the EA6900 wireless router. Installation was typical USB with the PC immediately recognizing the adapter and installing the driver. Downloads are lightning fast and web pages load quickly. I'm very satisfied with this product.

Adequate Protection for iPhone 6
on October 17, 2014
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this case to protect my new phone until Apple's version is available. Thankfully, I haven't dropped the phone, so I can't speak to its ability to minimize damage. However it greatly improves the grip on the otherwise very slippery iPhone 6. Best of all, this case is a great deal at half the price of Apple's silicone case.

Nice Product
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: RickyA
from Sammamish, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the concept of "cloud-control" across iPhone and iPad devices via the WeMo app. The switch worked perfectly while on vacation in Hawaii. The manufacturer-installed firmware was lacking in that the switch would only connect to my wireless router when in direct line-of-sight. After upgrading the firmware, that problem was solved and connectivity has been solid throughout my two-story 2800 square foot home. I have two of these nifty little switches - the first purchased for a very good price at Home Depot. The second from my local Best Buy when they matched HD's price. I like that! Four star rating because of the factory-installed firmware problem.

What's great about it: Works as advertised
What's not so great: Wi-fi connectivity within home was at first spotty

Is there a way to download spotify or other apps on the watch, or that left only to the iphone?

Apps are not loaded directly on the watch. Instead, apps designed to work on the watch must be installed on your iPhone. Any apps already on your iPhone that are compatible with Apple Watch will automatically install on the watch during initial setup. Apps on the watch are controlled and configured through the Watch app that is incorporated in the phone's iOS software. If you don't have the Watch app on your phone, you can download and install it from the App Store.

What kind of USB cable do I need for a Cannon Pixma Ma472 wireless printer, copier and fax?

I bought one recently and I thought it would be in the box, but it was not. Any help?
It seems to me you shouldn't need a USB cable to connect a wireless printer.
