Great Case for about a month
on November 10, 2016

Case is attractive with a good grip, then just past 30 days the bumper began to separate from the back. Seems a number of reviewers are seeing the same problem. Going to try and take it back this weekend. I am past the 30 day Elite return period but these obviously have a production issue.

Needed to centralize my families photo's and documents and didn't want to keep paying dropbox. This unit setup in under 5 minutes. Straightforward interface, helps if you have a limited knowledge of network admin. The interface on our phones is actually very nicely setup and organized. Everything backs up fast.

Great Detector, just needs a little extra
on January 15, 2014
Posted by: Tim1127
from Scranton,Pa
I had to replace an old Beltronics V940 that had finally died after years of faithful service. Good Radar detectors don't come cheap. I had been looking at the more expensive GPS models because that is a great feature to eliminate false signals. However I succumbed to a great deal at BB for the 8500 X50 @$199.95 deal of the day. This unit was easy to setup and had exceptional range only issue was it was so sensitive to false signals. I went back to Best Buy and picked up the companion Escort - Radar Detector Smart Cord. For $35 this added not only the GPS type function of ignoring the false signals based on location but it also added the Escort Live functionality, it's almost an unfair advantage to the driver now. By putting these two together you get all the features of the $449+ detector for $200 less.

A router that really does handle many users
on January 10, 2014
Posted by: Tim1127
from Scranton,Pa
I use it in...:Large home
I had been looking for a new router for a while having because my 2 year old Netgear N router constantly was dropping connections randomly to different units. I looked for a bargain but finally got tired of hearing the family complain about dropped connections and constantly rebooting the router. I had read some good things on the RT68 and decided to take the plunge for over $200. We have anywhere from 10 to 24 devices between Laptops, desktops, Phones, tablets, printer, TV, 4 gaming consoles all wanting connections. The RT68 has performed flawlessly, sharing the bandwidth amongst the users and not dropping a single connection. The radio is amazingly strong and the signal is full bars from basement to second floor anywhere in the house.

The best laptop and value on the market
on October 15, 2013
Posted by: Tim1127
from Scranton,Pa
I have been waiting a while for this to come to market and was surprised to see it in Best Buy so soon with Windows 8.1 and in the I7 version.
This display is FANTASTIC, the machine is lightning fast. The included Dragon Voice recognition software is flawless and actually helpful, saves lots of clicks.
Battery life for the first charge in moderate use was upwards of 8 hours.
This is the laptop to own. i7, 8g RAM and 256g SSD for less than the original Yoga 13 you can't beat it.

Galaxy brings a lot to the table.

Age:45-54
Phone size:Just right
This phone brings a lot of new features to the smartphone world. Some can be used everyday others I am not sure I will ever really use. The S voice interface is not so hot on understanding what you say. The camera takes great pictures and is the fastest camera I have seen yet.
What's great about it: Screen, camera
What's not so great: Battery Life could be better

Great Value for CollegeStudent
By Tim1127
Using the College Student discount made this HP only $699. For an I7 with 8 gig this is a great value. Only thing this is missing is an SSD. Boots fast Windows 10 works great on this setup. Only downside is it is a bit heavy.

How many hard drives are in the 4TB unit (NAS) and can it be setup for RAID.

Does anyone know how many hard drives come inside of the 4TB unit and is the system software robust where it can be configured to run RAID
One Drive, though you can add additional drives/space via USB 3.0 port
