outstanding speaker

This is a larger version of the UE Boom 2, both speakers deliver outstanding performance. This model delivers more volume and more bass for the extra $100. Either model delivers an excellent sound, well balanced throughout the frequency spectrum, clean, and accurate reproduction. ( Is that a sax or a guitar?) Would recommend this series of speakers without reservation.

Outstanding sound, small speaker that sounds BIG..

I expected a lot for a speaker this price, and even bought it's chief competitor, the BQ$E model which is similarly priced, to compare them in my home side by side. In my opinion, while the B*** had remarkable bass, I found the clarity suffered in both the mid and high range, much as though it had a towel thrown on it. The UE offered outstanding clarity, smooth and clean bass, and accuracy of reproduction ( is that a trumpet or a sax?) throughout the audio spectrum of low, mid, and high range frequencies. I genuinely enjoy listening to music played through it, and returned the other speaker immediately. In addition, it is waterproof and sturdily built, has a long battery life (depends hugely on the volume level you use), and is easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality bluetooth speaker at a reasonable price, often on sale of some sort. I was not disappointed.

Probably works well, but app a problem
on October 9, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Product well reviewed, but app "permission details" (you always read those before downloading, don't you?) are ridiculous. It demands permission to go through, change or delete any or all accounts on my phone, and permission to take over control of my camera and microphone, whether I'm using the app or not, in addition to the other more common permissions (like location). Why does Google need my identity and accounts info, and free use of my camera and microphone, to send images from my computer to my TV? This troubles me, and I took the device back without ever hooking it up. There are other options with more respect for a user's privacy.

Haven't had a chance to use these ink refills yet, but the current (and same) ink is in my printer, works very well, even on "draft". Haven't yet figured out whether I'm going to spend more money or less with the new multi-cartridge plan, but am happy with the ink and overall printing of my Canon printer.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

Lives up to it's name

What more need be said- it's a Mac! I finally tired (again) of dealing with a PC with dementia and bought this Mac Pro. everything works smoothly, the design is elegant, and the ideas built into how to make it work better, are simply delightful. I chose to keep the HDD for it's 500 GB capacity over the more expensive , newer flash drive options, which were only 128-256 GB, and, for my money, there is nothing available that can top this laptop model. I appreciate having a disc drive (only available on this 13" Macbook Pro), as carrying an extra piece of equipment to listen to my CD's and watch my DVD collection seemed pointless. The 13" screen is plenty big (I thought I would miss my prior 15", but haven't. Only fault is the glossy screen- my last Mac had the matte screen and was practically glare free. The glossy screen is probably brighter and has higher resolution, but is difficult to see with daylight or overhead lights around because of the glare. Nonetheless, I love this instrument, it works great!

Highly rated product, works well, looks good. No problems with the door latch, really appreciate the sensor feature which works quite well. Arrived right on time, happy with this purchase. Only complaint is Best Buy's 15 day return limit, this is really too short a time period. However, I'm glad I bought this item from them, all went well.

Useful if you buy it with a purchase and get a discount. Also useful as it will cover up to 3 different computers on the same plan. I have already used it, and was satisfied with the way my issue was handled and recovered.
What's great about it: Respectable tech support
What's not so great: price without a promo is steep

A true dissapointment

This new way to detect viruses is quite interesting, more of a "cloud" network than downloading current updates, however, in order for this to work, one must agree not only to activate cookies, which are required for this system to work, but also to keep cookies permanently activated for the "persistent" cookies one must agree to accept. This system cannot work if this system is "opted-out". Unacceptable for me as I delete all cookies after a session. (Does that really matter? Probably not, if one considers all the other ways we are tracked). Nonetheless, I threw this away and bought an "old fashioned" software that requires frequent updates, and allows me to delete cookies after using the web. Good luck, as BestBuy pushes Webroot as their favored anti-virus software.
What's great about it: new way to detect viruses
What's not so great: the EULA forces one to keep cookies on
