Best Fitness Tracker Value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for my wife as a Mother's Day gift. For the price, you can't beat the Charge 2. It has all the features you'll want. It's also pretty stylish. Unfortunately, when my wife tried it on, she decided it was too big for her petite wrist. As a result, we ended up returning this in favor of the slimmer Fitbit Alta HR. It made me sad because in many ways, the Charge 2 is the better device. Best Buy customer service was awesome in processing the return.

Decent Phone
on April 6, 2017
Posted by: NordicSkiGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the money, you can't beat this phone set. I like that you can choose different ringtones, and the lighted buttons are a great feature. I'm also surprised at how often we use the intercom feature, and the phone has great range and works everywhere on our 1/2 acre lot. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the sound quality is slightly muffled. It definitely doesn't sound as good as the Uniden it replaced, or the Panasonic we had before that. Those were good phones and I would've just bought new batteries for them if these AT&T phones weren't so inexpensive.

I've wanted this CD for some time, but decided to finally get it after falling in love with the Rat Pack's rendition of "Marshmallow World." However, BEWARE! There are different versions of this CD, but all of them are called "Christmas with the Rat Pack." Some have all of the songs, others don't. This particular CD fits into the latter category and doesn't have "Marshmallow World" on it. Be careful and make sure to review the description closely to make sure you're getting the songs you want!

I just wanted a simple all-in-one machine with wi-fi so I could print stuff from my tablet and laptop (as well as a wired CPU). This fit the bill perfectly. The print quality is also pretty good. Can't beat the price!

It's a good product to keep your machine secure, but it seemed to slow my CPU down considerably. Still, it has a lot of great features and is reasonably priced.

Awesome Value
on February 27, 2017
Posted by: NordicSkiGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price, I don't think this laptop can be beat. Since it has an SSD, it's super fast. Also, the NVIDIA graphics card and extra graphics memory allows this machine to run some challenging games. The fan is really quiet, and the lit keyboard is a nice plus. I get between 3 and 4 hours of battery life, which is OK. This model has a DVD burner, so there's not a lot of room inside for a big battery. The hardware specs are insane for this price point.
I considered taking off a star for Lenovo's constant badgering about signing up for this and that. I swear that I created an account with them during the setup process, but I keep getting messages from them asking me to create another account for their "Companion" service. However, this is a mild annoyance.
I also have to say that the process of updating this computer out-of-the-box took forever. Since these things were manufactured just a few months ago, you'd think it would ship with an updated version of Windows 10. It doesn't. Instead it has the original version of Windows 10 which has undergone a zillion updates since its release. On my slow 3mbps internet service, it took nearly an entire day to update.
Lastly, I hate Windows 10. It forces you to do updates whether you want them or not (though at least you can schedule them to occur while you're asleep). Also, you get endless messages if you decide to use a web browser like Chrome instead of Edge, claiming how Edge is more secure and faster. I hope to find a way to turn these things off.

Pinnacle of Lego Batman!
on January 6, 2016
Posted by: NordicSkiGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
We've owned a ton of Lego games, and I'd say that the original Lego Star Wars for Wii is one of my favorites. I love playing Lego games with my son in 2-player co-op mode. I also like the Lego Batman series, which seems to be a regular test-bed for new gameplay ideas in the Lego franchise.
This is a fun game and follows the usual Lego formula with a few new twists. However, we found ourselves getting stuck more than usual on some of the puzzles. I think that was mostly due to unfamiliarity with the underlying narrative story. Still, if you like Lego games, you'll probably enjoy this one.
I should add that the Wii U version is a bit of a letdown. The graphics are rough at times, there are plenty of odd glitches (characters can get stuck between a wall and some other object), and the game suffers from significant frame rate drops in 2-player mode. The dips can make it nearly unplayable. Clearly a LAZY effort as most of my Wii U games have outstanding graphics and run smoothly at 60 frames per second. Add in the fact that Wii U owners didn't get the DLC that other consoles received and you realize that Lego/Tt Games didn't care much about the Wii U version of this game.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

Fun & Creative!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this game as a Christmas present for my son, who is a huge Minecraft fan. Remarkably, Super Mario Maker has been the first thing to temper his "Minecraft mania" in months. He loves creating new and unique courses, and then testing them out on his parents. He then tweaks them to perfection before posting them to the internet and sharing them with his friends and the rest of the world.
If you're not a creative type, there is an endless array of user-created courses online to try out. There is also a 10-course challenge mode that changes daily. Because of this, the possibilities are endless. Also, Nintendo has been regularly updating the game to add new abilities to the crafting menu. You can't go wrong with this game!
