Brilliant laptop - Highly Recommended
on September 5, 2016
Posted by: teasten
Verified Purchase:Yes
Starting with the obvious, this doesn't have an Intel i-Series processor, but don't let that fool you. The SSD means this laptop runs Windows 10 super smoothly. The Lenovo - Yoga 710 is one of the only true 11" laptops that Best Buy sells e.g. it's actually 11" and slim and light weight. Only limitation is the 4GB of memory cannot be expanded. The SSD is able to be replaced should you need more storage. Definitely recommended.

Good watch, Plastic Case Prone to Scratches
on September 5, 2016
Posted by: teasten
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a fan of Pebble (own a Pebble Steel). This is a good update. The color screen adds some utility to certain apps (weather, calendar). The screen does seem washed out in direct sunlight vs the black and white steel screen. Best feature is that Pebble is device agnostic. So you can use it with IOS and Android, which is awesome. The battery lasts forever and love that it's waterproof. Would recommend this for people who need a smartwatch and have an active job or lifestyle as aside from the case scratches, this watch does take a beating and lasts several days on a single charge.

Love this mouse! Bargain - you will be impressed
on September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this on sale and had low expectations as normally I am a Logitech fan. Have to say I am super impressed. Bluetooth connectivity is flawless, it's perfect for ultrabook/portable use. The blue-light system works on glass and I am so impressed with the mouse I want to buy another one even though I have no need for it.

Runs Hot, Not Readily Serviceable
on September 5, 2016
Posted by: teasten
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really had high hopes for the HP - Pavilion 2-in-1, but was left disappointed. The laptop runs extremely hot, as in, it's not comfortable to have this on your lap - unless you're using this in the Arctic or the depths of winter. I really can't stress how hot this runs. There are some reviews on line that mentioned this but I thought they were exaggerating - but they are not. HP have also made this machine not easily user serviceable. To replace the hard drive or expand memory you need to removed glued-on rubber feet that if you break or damage cost over $100 to replace. The screen also has a huge border which makes the laptop screen feel larger than 11". Not recommended.

Returned, Major Limitations - Read On
on August 7, 2016
Posted by: teasten
Verified Purchase:Yes
Such a promising laptop - lightweight, Windows 10, Office 2016 and Lenovo products are usually good. Unfortunately, the 32GB SSD is a MAJOR limitation on this device as it means you can't install the Windows 10 anniversary update. So you miss security updates. Even if you reset to factory defaults, you can't get enough space. And you can't upgrade the SSD and windows won't recognize a USB or SD card for updates. So sadly had to return this. If Lenovo made this with a 128GB (or even 64GB) SSD this would almost be perfect. Lenovo - if you're listening, I am ready to buy when you upgrade this model. With a bigger SSD this laptop could have been a replacement for a Microsoft Surface.

Meet the Logitech Pebble i345. It takes your iPad to higher places with a level of precision and control you can’t get with a tablet alone. Use it to click, scroll, and control your workflow like never before. It’s small, portable, and comfortable—so you can keep exploring, wherever you go.
What difference is there between the Pebble M350, M355, and the most recent i345. As I understand the M350 is the first version, the M355 is the second version, both are compatible with various operating systems including IPadOS, and the i345 only iPadOS
I picked up the i345. It doesn't have a Logitech Nano receiver. I can't speak for the other mice, but the i345 is Bluetooth only. It does work happily with my iPad Pro.

Does this work with frozen fruits and vegetables?
I have the 72Oz Ninja Professional and have used it on frozen fruit without any problem. I can't imagine it would have an issue with frozen vegetables, it's blending ice without any issue.

Can you ship to London and is shipping still free?
I don't work for Best Buy but I wouldn't ever ship US Electrical Appliances to the UK. You use a different power system, so if you plug it in it's the best way to explode appliance or injure yourself.

The powerful LED lamp projects bright, detailed images in native 720p resolution, and a 5W speaker adds accurate audio to your viewing experience. This Miroir SYNQ mini projector offers up to 3 hours of use per charge and includes an AC adapter for battery-free streaming.
How do you stream videos to your projector?
Plug in a streaming stick. I use mine with a ROKU streaming stick. But you could use a Chromecast or any streaming stick that plugs into HDMI and is powered by USB.

How to upgrade hdd ?? I need guidance
I just upgraded my harddrive (SSD and added a 2.5" drive). No responsibility accepted if you ruin your laptop. This is what I did.
1. Remove the power cable.
2. Turn laptop over.
3. Remove all visible screws from the underside of the laptop.
4. Use a guitar pick or similar to pry open the bottom case.
5. The NVME/SSD drive is located under the metal protective slots.
If you want to add a 2.5" drive, you need the included ribbon cable. It connects near the battery (see my review or attached picture).
No need to adjust bios settings, it's all autodetected and updates automatically.

Is this Linksys -Velop compatible with Verizon Fios equipment? Everything does not work with Verizon - Fios equipment.
Yes, I got this working with FIOS. There's some great tips and advice on reddit for setting up MESH WiFi with FiOS. You need to setup FiOS as a MOCA bridge. This guide is a good place to start. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fios/comments/7xb9yz/new_to_fios_can_you_confirm_this_setup_with_moca/

Only @ Best BuyListen to music with this sweat- and dust-resistant wireless Jabra Elite headset. It connects via USB, mini-jack or Bluetooth, and a powerful microphone lets you use voice commands with your mobile device. This Jabra Elite headset reduces background noise and has a built-in motion sensor that lets you track fitness efforts.
Does each earbud have controls? Can both sides be used independently of each other, or can only one side be used independently, or must they always be used as a pair?
Yes. But the controls are different on each side. Right side is for music pause, call answer, etc. Left side is for volume control, skipping tracks. You don't have to use as a pair, but only the right side has a microphone (from my tests).
