Small Budget, Good Film. Good Concept
on January 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Another great small cast, small set film. It's got a very claustrophobic feel and good suspense. The young cast does well and the movie keeps you watching, thinking, and then leaves you thinking about our everyday lives.

No Spoilers. Great performance from John Goodman. Good typical JJ Abrams suspense and plot twists. Small cast makes for great character development.

It's not super-quiet but quiet enough and the cycles do what I need. It drys things quickly and efficiently. What more can you ask? Hopefully it's durable and lasts a long time.

Nice Efficient Washer
on October 10, 2016
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
After dealing with a front loader for years (the sound of jet engine taking off at spin cycle) this is a nice change. It's quiet, it's quick, it cleans well. The controls are easy to manage and simple to understand. Installation was easy. My kids also like it because it plays a little song when it's done washing rather than beeping. Hopefully they'll last a long time.

Perfect for my needs.

I use this for streaming video and airplay (2nd monitor) so gen 3 is more than enough for me. The video quality form Netflix, MLB, etc. is good and fast. The menu is good and intuitive (typically Apple) - I wish the sleep feature was in the same area as the apps but it's not a major distraction. It's also nice as it's small enough to be portable for work as well. Since all my major work is driven from my mac the older unit is great. If it were completely stand alone I'd look hard at the gen 4 models.

The arrangement of the plugs is good for USB, DC Adapter, and regular plug fits. It's enough for my desk with 2 laptops, external monitor, speaker, shedder, USB connectors for accessories, and room to grow (my desk not so much). It's a good value.

It's Apple OEM. It's a spare. They work. The price is the price and not cheap but don't mess around with knock-offs. Best Buy in stock and great service as always.

The Civil War epic Gettysburg receives the star treatment from Warner with some spectacular results. Image quality is far better than would be expected. The picture, which is framed at the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and employs an anamorphic transfer, is nicely detailed with strong colors and excellent detail. The sound is also very impressive. A new 5.0 Dolby Digital is balanced very well between dialogue, sound effects, and music. None of these elements overwhelms the other making for a smart sound mix. Also available is a surround track in French and subtitles in English and French. The big surprise for this title is the number of supplemental features. Of strong interest is a commentary track from director/screenwriter Ronald F. Maxwell, cinematographer Kees Van Oosrum, author James M. McPherson, and historian Craig Symonds. While there are significant gaps between comments (only selected scenes have commentary), this track is still filled with fascinating information, both from the filmmaking and historical perspectives. In addition are two documentaries, the first hosted by actor Martin Sheen and covers the making of this film, while the second, the Oscar-nominated "The Battle of Gettysburg," narrated by Leslie Nielsen, takes a look at the battle in general. Both are fascinating in their own respects, and are complimented with a short "location" featurette with additional footage taken on the set. Finally rounding out this fine disc are the theatrical trailer and television spots, plus filmographies for some of the cast and the director, a battlefield map, and some additional interviews with the cast and crew. If there is one complaint about this DVD, it's the reluctance of Warner to use two discs for longer movies. At four-plus hours, most studios would split the movie over two discs, but in the case of Gettysburg, a DVD-18 has been used, meaning the movie is split over two sides, each with two layers, possibly creating problems with handling. Still, that is a small complaint for such a nice overall package.

It's historically accurate. It's well acted. It's long - approaching 4 hours. But at the price it was in the bin and being a history buff it's a good deal.

I needed a 3ft but they only had the 4ft in stock, No problem - just an extra loop. The category 6 cables are the ones you want if your internet feed exceeds 100Mbs. Mine does and I get a clean 170+ through this cable to my gaming PC. They have all lengths and I have a 20ft going to a NAS in the same room (since I can't use wifi for it). Good buys. 5e works for most applications but if you have the speed available spend the money.

What is the difference between pre-owned and refurbished??

Pre-owned is just plain used. Factory refurbished means a certified technician took it apart and fixed whatever was broken or worn out. Refurbished is better. Used is like a car - it’s unknown.

Immensely powerful, portable, and capable, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro features a redesigned Retina display that is the most advanced on the planet, while the A10X Fusion chip delivers more power than most PC laptops. ¹ With Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard, and iOS—the most advanced mobile operating system—iPad Pro is designed for the world we live in today. ²
 

Battery life?

Battery life depends on what your are doing. Games with graphics eat it up fast - about 4 hours max (world of warships is a good example). Video playback is better at 6+ hours depending on volume and screen brightness. General office use (email, word, etc.) and web browsing probably 10+ hours in real world use. Standby is great even with cellular. I’ve gone a couple days using it as I travel on the road without needing to charge it while just checking emails periodically and using work websites in between client visits.
Is it less that I’d like - yes. It’s a big screen with a fast processor in a light package so how much battery can really be crammed into it? Ultimately it’s so easy to charge anywhere a usb connection is available (airports, airplanes, cars, meeting rooms) that it doesn’t effect my workflow.

Will this work with a hotel/ motel wify?

No reason it wouldn't except if the wifi signal is too weak. The downsides are pairing it with each different network you are at each time you stay there and the fact that those networks are not secured.
Could you use it - yes. Would I recommend it -no.

What components are expandable, and this would include swapping out items such as the RAM, HD, and SSD?

All of the above. The RAM can be upgraded to 32GB, you could swap out the SSD for any sized one you wanted and the hard drive could be swapped out for a 2TD (5200rpm though) or any 2.5" SSD. I've also seen kits to swap out the DVD drive for an SSD as well. You can also get external SSD or HDD set-ups , including hot swap ( I have one), because the USB is plenty fast. As it sits it's pretty well set up.

Hope that helps,

I don't play games but I do stream movies and live sporting events. Will this laptop be good for streaming or is it overkill?

It's Overkill.
Any dual core Core series (I3, I5, I7) mobile chip (u series) with integrated graphic would process any video stream just fine. The internet connection at your home/office and the WiFi antennae on the laptop are more important. This is a mid level game machine or a good portable video editing machine. You'd also probably get let down by the battery life since there's a lot of horsepower and a really big screen to use up the small battery quite fast.

What software is loaded on the pc.

Just the standard stuff - Windows 10 Home with it's associated standard apps, HP's standard app set (help, set-up, etc.), some bloatware (not too bad) and some trial packages. You'll need to add anything really functional to it (Office, Photoshop, Games, etc...).

Would this be a good option labtop for running autodesk/ CAD/ Revit software on? How is it for running programs like photoshop? Would these programs run smooth and fast?

It would be strong enough for all those applications. Photoshop I know works smooth and fast. Desktops are always faster part for part for any higher end work but this machine is really a beast for the price.
