Good Rechargeable but not the best
on April 10, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I own another set of rechargeable the Sanyo Eneloop AA's. I tried these energizers because they are cheaper, the seem to charge faster but loose power faster too. May not be good for toys with motors but should be enough for other electronic devices like keyboard and mice.

Best fighting game in Wii U
on December 30, 2014
Posted by: BlueRiff
from Round Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The most anticipated release after Mario Kart 8. Got this for my kids, content is king as there is a lot to do in the game with modes, etc. Easily one of the best in terms of presentation considering Wii U is less powerful compared to other consoles. Will be playing and replaying this game for a long time...!

Best mid level wireless headphones

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is great for late night viewing and still enjoy dynamic surround (virtual) sound, or concert with stereo and bass boost. Almost lossless for a wireless headphone and got this on sale for $100 less :-) Really happy with the quality and the plastic doesn't feel cheap. Form and function at its best, highly recommended!

Best entry level Mac AIO

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this first because it's just $100 more than the entry level. And this is twice the processing speed and HD capacity. 3 days later I returned it and decided to get the next trim with discrete video card. Been happy with it since.

Can't do without office

from Round Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just bought this so that my kids can be both familiar with using productivity tools with whatever system. Not so excited about it as I'm rather contented with the free apps that came with Mac. This is overpriced for me, should just be about $60.

The best mid-priced AIO desktop
on October 17, 2014
Posted by: BlueRiff
from Round Lake, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first mac and I wanted a new system with real desktop power with mobile components. The unit is simple, functional and really good looking. This is the best mid AIO desktop a little pricier than my budget but happy with performance. It never felt sluggish or struggling at least so far. I think the HW and OS combination future proof the system as OS X is very efficient and not as much a resource hog as the windows--been using windows since 95.

Nice cushion for the price

Nice cushion for the price, with soft cloth cover, micro beads. The pad is too bulky though and makes using the mouse at a weird angle.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

HD graphics on classic tracks, but I wish there were more. My 8 year old had memorized the tracks and winning almost every grand prix. We have not been able to play other games since we got this. AAA quality and arcade mario kart style gameplay is hard to beat.

Small woman/small head--will these fit snugly?

will these fit snugly?

For sure! One slight complain is how the headphone presses on the head but not a deal breaker. It is still comfortable, I've used for almost 4-5 hours straight. I'm guessing this would be just right for you...

Garmin nüvi 50LM Portable GPS: Instead of trying to view maps while you drive or recruit a friend to act as navigator, let this portable GPS guide you to your destination. It features text-to-speech and turn-by-turn voice prompts that audibly provide directions, so you can keep your eyes on the road.
 

how to update maps on nuvi 50

how do I update liofetime maps on nuvi 50
Hi,

Start with connecting your Garmin through USB to your PC. It will pop up with instructions on how to proceed--hard to go wrong with on screen step by step procedures. It will include download of the software and what not. There's an option to automatically update with new maps if available. The next time you connect your Garmin it will automatically launch the program and so long as you are online then it will be straight forward. HTH.

Featuring a 130mm wireless subwoofer, this Sony HTCT260 soundbar enhances your home theater with lush sound and heavy bass. Bluetooth capability lets you stream music from most Bluetooth-enabled devices, including mobile phones, PCs, tablets and more.
 

what will give me better sound hdmi or optical cable? is it better to hook up to reciever?

how will I get the optimum sound with the optical cord or hdmi and should I be hooking this up to my receiver and if yes what configuration should I set up?
I've been using optical, I don't see any advantage with HDMI unless you're looking to control the device too. Optical is purely digital and cheaper too, as far as I know HDMI carries analog audio.
