This is a great ergonomic keyboard that works perfectly for business uses where the user needs to deal with wrist discomfort, either in general or due to carpal tunnel. I've had a great experience so far; it's very comfortable to type on.

Easy to install, sturdy, very flexible

I installed this in a wood frame house by drilling pilot holes into the studs, then using appropriate bolts to secure it into the studs. Once I got the TV mounted, it's REALLY on there -- it's extremely well secured to the backplate and I never once doubted that it was going to stay up there.
And this is the best VESA mount I've ever used, because it can tilt in all directions.
Better yet, you can install the backplate without it being perfectly level, then FIX it using the leveling screw after you get the TV up there!
I had an old backplate from the early 2000s that did not have leveling screws and could only tilt up and down - not left and right. It cost me $89. This one was $20 cheaper, but with extremely useful added features. Progress is amazing!

The Trackball is back.

Especially for those with tendinitis in the elbow, a trackball is one of the only ways you can continue to comfortably use a mouse these days. So the introduction of a new trackball by a major vendor is a great endorsement of this technology. And it turns out this is an EXCELLENT implementation of the trackball concept, taking the best elements of their recent MX Master mouse and applying them to the trackball. My mom loves it.

I got this at a $250 off discount for Black Friday, and it was a really good bargain. Replaced a very old and heavy first generation plasma TV, and we were amazed at how light it is, and the thin bezels. Even 1080p content looks amazing on this monitor. Perfect companion to something like a 4K Apple TV. Nintendo Switch games look beautiful too. Highly recommended!

These are my new headphones for everything!
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: Aloesees
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm somewhat of a headphone connoisseur. I own a staggering six pair of premium-quality Bluetooth headphones that I've purchased since 2014, all of them supporting at least Bluetooth 4.0. So when I give a recommendation stating that I'm now using a pair of Bluetooth headphones exclusively and the rest are gathering dust, that has to mean something.
First of all, let me get this out of the way: I use Bluetooth headphones excessively and for a variety of purposes. I am wearing them for about 8 to 10 hours per day on weekdays, and 12 to 16 hours on weekends. I detached myself permanently from headphone wires in about 2012 and have been looking for better and better headphones ever since.
The main things I look for in a pair of Bluetooth headphones are: portability; durability; ease of pairing to all my devices and switching between devices; signal strength and reliability over moderate distances; and of course, audio quality. I also care about the little quality of life things, like the absence of loud and irritating "pop" noises when the headphones switch from actively playing audio to standby mode, and the ability for the headphones to drown out at least some of the background noise for activities like public transportation commuting and trying to work in a busy office.
In almost all categories, the Beats Solo3 Wireless are as good or better than the competition, even though they only cost half as much as I usually pay for high-end Bluetooth headphones (I usually pay around $500).
Most of what makes these headphones amazing originates from their Apple W1 Bluetooth chipset. This chip has an incredible ability to instantly and effortlessly pair between my different Apple and non-Apple devices, and switching between them is easier than it is with any other pair of Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned. This is insanely important for me, because I use them with my iPhone for phone calls, my Macbook Pro and Alienware laptop for listening to music and gaming, my iPad for watching videos, and my desktop's Bluetooth receiver for gaming. I think I switch between Bluetooth devices about 6 times a day, and I have to constantly fight and struggle and re-pair and unpair, etc. sometimes for minutes at a time to switch devices with any other pair of headphones.... except for these special headphones.
Bluetooth is supposed to be an open standard where all the vendors participate and can get equal access to making their headphones compatible with computing devices like phones, tablets and computers. But in reality, it appears that Apple and Beats have cornered the market on producing headphones that are maximally compatible, reliable, and easy to pair and switch around. And I say that as someone who extensively uses my Beats headphones with NON-Apple devices, such as Windows PCs!
I don't know how to put it differently: these are simply awesome. The audio quality is fine; I think the audio quality isn't noticeably worse than my $500 Beoplay headphones. And while there's no Active Noise Cancelling (which I DO appreciate on my Beoplay pair), I've learned to live without it: I'm slightly more aware of my environment without ANC, which can actually be a good thing, and the passive canceling on these is pretty good for those annoyingly loud noises in the environment, most of the time.
Oh, and as far as range and dropouts? I often leave my iDevices or PCs sitting on my desk and move across the hallway, into the bathroom while listening to a podcast or video, and I've never once heard a single dropout with any of my devices. I can't claim the same flawless experience with competition from Beoplay or Sennheiser or Meelectronics.
I really can't praise these headphones enough. The only thing I would like to see done differently in a subsequent release would be a sturdier, less plastic, more premium materials type design, maybe some of that magnesium alloy they use to build the sturdy chassis of ThinkPads. Or maybe the aluminum that they use to build iPhones. That would be awesome.
I feel like I have to treat my Beats very gently or they're liable to fall apart. So durability is definitely a concern long-term. But as long as they last, I'll definitely enjoy the electronic internals of these headphones being as close to perfection as I've ever seen in a pair of wireless headphones that is compatible with a wide array of devices.
Oh, and it helps that the battery life is basically the best on the market for any kind of Bluetooth headphones based on my research. Other vendors have tied Beats in expected battery life, but none have exceeded them by any significant margin. So if you don't like having to charge your headphones daily, these are one of maybe 3 or 4 different models of headphones that you can buy today with that kind of insane battery life.
Just a short couple of years ago, I had a perception of Beats as a brand that was completely out of touch with what consumers wanted, offering anemically low battery life around 8 hours, with out of date Bluetooth protocol support, poor codec support, and limited compatibility. This product is the polar opposite of that in every way, and I couldn't possibly be happier. My quality of life is a little bit better each and every day because of this product, and I like them so much that I bought a second pair for use exclusively at work, so I don't have to risk damaging my Beats in transit.

Best Alienware laptop ever, great build quality
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: Aloesees
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have long been skeptical about Alienware computers because of the many reviews out there that warn would-be buyers about their tendency to overheat and fall apart. However, after using this Alienware 13 R3 for several weeks, it's clear to me that either those reviewers are greatly exaggerating, or Alienware has improved their build quality to the point that those reviews are just not applicable to the Alienware 13 R3.
The Alienware 13 R3 is a very good gaming laptop. It fits in a bag designed for 15.6" laptops comfortably, despite having a significantly bigger than 13" chassis due to the radiator on the back for the large-ish mainstream GPU inside, the GTX 1060. For its 1080p resolution, the GTX 1060 should be fine for mainstream gaming for years to come, so performance-wise I'm quite satisfied with it. And of course because this laptop is still new, right now the performance is phenomenal.
There is a lot of competition on the compact gaming laptop market right now, and this laptop is right there at the top of what is possible with current technology. I see signs that competitors and even Alienware might eclipse this laptop's compact bang-for-the-buck performance in just a few short months from now with "Max-Q" laptops, but right now I'm happy with it, and I got a good deal on it from Best Buy.
So the main things I can recommend on this laptop are that it has a good graphics card, a good enough screen, and a compact enough size that it isn't uncomfortable to lug around in a bag. The touchpad is good, but nowhere near as good as a Macbook's. The keyboard, however, is fantastic -- I love the keyboard so much. The tactile response is delightful and the keys feel very solidly built.
I also like that the screen hinge seems extremely sturdy, so I don't expect to have to run back to Best Buy for a repair on this unit any time soon. The whole laptop just feels solid and well-balanced. It's very satisfying to interact with and doesn't show any indications of weak points. That doesn't mean you can toss it around the house with reckless abandon, but it definitely feels built to handle day-to-day wear and tear for many years.
For the price, this is great stuff. Just be prepared to spend another $800 or so if you want to upgrade it with aftermarket RAM and high-end SSDs for increased storage capacity and multitasking ability.

The Apple W1 carries this device.
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: Aloesees
Verified Purchase:Yes
The reliable and low energy Apple W1 Bluetooth chipset is what makes this device so good for general music, video and telephony. Competitors may have superior acoustics in their headphone drivers, or they might be more durably built, but the Apple W1 is the most reliable and longest range BT chip I’ve ever used - even with non-Apple devices. If you hate dropouts, clicks and pops in your wireless headphones, buy these - they’re extremely reliable and sound great.

Is this a decent TV for 4K gaming on a Xbox One Elite? I would like to know the pros and cons?
This is a 4K HDR Smart TV, which is basically the best type of TV available today. More expensive TVs might have a higher refresh rate, better color contrast, or just larger, but you kinda get what you pay for (or don't pay for) there. Still, this TV is at least the gold standard of quality for 2017.
It'd definitely be more than adequate for playing Xbox games. But to understand the pros and cons, you'd have to compare it against some other model.

I just purchased this TV on black friday, I read elsewhere that it is HDR but on best buy the key specs say that it is not HDR capable. Can anyone clarify this?

Does this laptop have a USB Type C? And does it support wide screen monitors like the 34inch curved LG
This laptop supports something better than USB-C: it supports Thunderbolt 3! With Thunderbolt 3, you can plug USB-C devices (and USB hubs if you need more ports) into the Thunderbolt 3 port. You don't need an adapter, because USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 use the same physical port. You can also plug in a Thunderbolt 3 hub, which can simultaneously support external GPUs, monitors, USB-A devices and USB-C devices. It can even charge your laptop straight from the Thunderbolt 3 port! Note that the port is on the back of the unit.
The laptop also supports all DisplayPort 1.2 displays, which can support any 34" curved display (I'm assuming at a resolution like 3440x1440 at up to 100 Hz). You could even plug your display into the Thunderbolt 3 port! That port supports 40 Gbps so there's very little it couldn't drive that exists today, and there are all kinds of adapters and hubs that convert from whatever other protocol to Thunderbolt 3 (including DisplayPort 1.2). It also has a "native" mini-DisplayPort 1.2 connector though.
