Lovely machine at an affordable price
on July 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very nice build quality, especially at this price range; it's all brushed aluminum and in a light, compact size. I really like the keyboard, touch screen, tablet mode, etc; I'm 6'4", so these aspects on most laptops seem to be designed around smaller hands in mind; but I have no issue using them on this laptop.
This laptop feels very well built and should last for years to come. Touch pad is nice too, just not on Apple's level. The price is a fraction of a Macbook however; meaning this would be a better choice unless you're really into coding or multimedia editing. Battery life is also very substantial and should exceed most people's needs. I really like the tablet mode as I plan on using this as a textbook reader as well; portrait mode is much more suitable for textbooks.
There are some gripes I have with this laptop; there is only one USB 3.0 port (two type C however) and it came preloaded with some junk software nobody wants, but much less than most prebuilt computers from my experience. This laptop's biggest problem is it only has 4GB RAM which is soldered to the motherboard, so the only way you're upgrading the memory is with a new motherboard. So far it seems adequate for what I'm using this computer for, but users of more intensive software should definitely go with more memory.

You best protect ya neck
on July 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice dashcam at a low price point. Captures video and sound and saves each individual minute as an individual file, to best prevent file corruption. Comes with an 8 GB microsd card which provides about an hour of recording I'm told, but you can upgrade it. Just hook this up and it will automatically start when your car receives power, it will also talk to let you know its recording. Includes everything you need to get started, including a long power cable that can easily be tucked under paneling in your car and hidden from sight.
Video quality is the one low point making me take away one star, but it will get the job done and provide the evidence you need to protect you from insurance fraud and bad drivers. The cost of this camera is a small price to pay for the piece of mind it gives you.

Only at Best BuyAdd alternative and unique artwork style to your standard packaging of the game with this Prey - Dual Cover SteelBook from Bethesda Softworks. It's not just box for the game, it's almost artwork on your shelf. Provides additional protection to your disk.

Nice case, but...
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a nice looking case, but the PC version's manual / inserts are too long to fit. It's a Steam game though, so the disc is probably useless anyway. The images are also inverted of one another, so if you wanted to display the case opened, one half of it will be upside down. The price was right though.

Don't let the name fool you
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
Before release I ignored this game, imagining it to be another reboot that nobody ever wanted. It's not in the least bit and more of a spiritual sequel to System Shock 2: a modern horror FPS/RPG hybrid, or a spooky Deus-Ex for those unfamiliar with the series. For the best experience, do not play this on easy or normal.

A worthwhile successor to Intellimouse Explorer 3
on June 7, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
With only 400 dpi and a low default polling rate, the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 is a bit of a hassle to use in Windows and modern games at today's high screen resolutions, so I needed an upgrade.
The Zowie EC1-A is everything one could want from a gaming mouse: It's design is heavily inspired by Intellimouse 3.0, it has firm microswitches with an audible click, the sensor is top notch, it's light, and it doesn't come with any nonsense like weights, macro buttons, a braided cable that gets stuck on things, or even drivers. Just plug this mouse in and it's ready to go. The bottom has a button to switch between four dpi settings (the wheel changes color depending on the dpi) , and the polling rate and lod can be changed by holding certain buttons when plugging the mouse in. If you love the simplicity of the classic Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, then this is the mouse to get.

Couldn't get the SE game, but these are a good sub

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty nice Amiibo set for the price, the faces are adequate and not googly eyed like early Marths. Best Buy shipped mine in a box, so it arrived safely. Unfortunately, Nintendo is still blocking the chip in the bottom of the figure from being scanned in a sealed box.

high speed, high capacity

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been running a 128 GB SSD for five years now and playing games off a HDD. With high capacity SSDs now more affordable than ever I finally upgraded to this beauty and now my games are loading much faster.
Western Digital's website has a free download of Acronis True Image for customers, so head over there and you can easily clone your old drive to this one for free.
Includes a 3 year warranty, which is nice insurance.

Great signal all throughout the house
on May 12, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was having trouble getting a consistent wifi signal in my cellar, it would frequently drop out when playing games online or streaming movies in 4K. I first got one of those plug in extenders and that was somewhat of a help, but still far from perfect. I got this and now my connection is finally perfect. This unit is very easy to setup and you will be up and going in a couple minutes.

Finally, a New 3DSXL worth upgrading to
on February 25, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
Prior to this model there was no reason for owners of the original Pikachu 3DSXL to upgrade. This model offers a luxurious Pikachu exterior (and matching yellow interior) that will make you the envy of gamer everywhere.
Mine came with firmware version 11.2 installed, so you're good to go if that means anything to you.
Don't forget you need to buy a charger separately. That brings this beautiful system down to a mere four stars.

artwork alone is worth the purchase
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: dynotek
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're here then you don't need an introduction to Liquid Swords. Comes on two records, each in a sleeve with its own artwork. Doesn't include B.I.B.L.E. because that's a CD exclusive, but at least this way you know this isn't a CD pressed to vinyl. The holes in my records were a tight fit on my first couple plays, but they soon straightened out.
DO: Buy this album and frame it
DON'T: Play on your junky Crosley from the mall and destroy the album.

Is it true RAM can be upgraded by a certified technician, as a previous comment by 'product expert' says? How much would it cost if I just want to upgrade to 8gb ram?

The RAM chips are soldered to the motherboard, meaning you'll either need an entirely new motherboard with more RAM installed or use of expensive, specialized equipment. This laptop has the RAM chips themselves on the motherboard, don't think it's as easy as soldering in a stick of RAM; that would make life far too easy.
