I use it with a PC stick in the back room for streaming media controls. It's not fancy or amazing but does the job.

Nice but not the best battery life.
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good features, great Android app, small form factor, just not good battery life unless you disable pretty much all the sync features. I get 2 days between charges. I can stretch to 4 if I disable everything that syncs and the resting heart rate monitor (which is my favorite feature). That being said it's a good product.

OEM replacement charger for a HP Pavilion G4 and it does what it's supposed to do. The old charger died so we got this one. The best part was Best Buy had it in stock so the student's laptop wasn't down during finals.

The gift receiver likes the product. It has great tracking features - especially the heart rate monitor - in a nice small package that doesn't get in the way. Once you have the settings dialed in it's very accurate. The android app is also very easy to use. It's set to stay synced all the time so it goes about 2 days before it needs a charge the battery which isn't great but that's livable.

Overall I like the product. It has all the tracking I wanted - especially the heart rate monitor - in a nice small package that doesn't get in the way. Once you have the settings dialed in it's very accurate. I don't use the sleep tracker so can't comment on that. I have it set to stay synced all the time so I get 2 days before I need to charge the battery which isn't great but I can live with it.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Good Game - nothing amazing
on February 21, 2016

This is a good basic shooter that stays faithful to the call of duty series. The storyline is good but predictable and ends a little too soon. If you like these kinds of games you can't go wrong. If you're looking for something special - it isn't that.

Exceptional Game World
on February 21, 2016
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fallout 4 has an exceptional game world and excellent graphics. It's a challenge and that's what I was hoping for with it. It is worth the price. Contrary to 3rd party websites it will run well on a Skylake desktop I3 or better. I'm running a I3 6300 and a GTX 960 4GB card with 8GB of ram. it runs smoothly and at max settings. It does need 4 threads - so be careful as to chips you run it with.

Manage work or play with this Apple iPad mini. The 16GB of storage lets you download more content, while the 1GB of RAM handles multiple open apps. The 1.0GHz Apple A5 processor reduces lag time, and the 7.9-inch screen provides brilliant color display. Use this Apple iPad mini for up to 10 hours at a time for higher productivity.
 

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.
