Great for movies
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
Depending on your phone, you can do VR with VR apps as well as simply watching movies. I love to kick back in my massage chair and put the goggle on and watch a movie. The lens is clear and it's adjustable. Very nice to just lay down and relax or play games with a wireless controller. ;)

Definitely Killer Connection!

I own a Alienware 17 Core i7 with Killer 1435 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi. This is the first time I've tried it out with a Wireless Router and it's been great!!! I typically prefer to play when wired as I've been frustrated with the disconnects on various AP i've used. So far in the past few days, the connection has been solid using wifi. Setup was a breeze as I didn't have to tweak anything out of the box.

Awesome keyboard!!!
on September 21, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
This is by far one of the best keyboard I've used! The simplicity of the style, has a great weight and feel, and I really like the slight indentations to each key for better sense of touch. In addition, I can pair this up to three separate systems and switch with a toggle. This keyboard has backlit lighting for ease of use in the dark. Last but not least, the toggle (they call it the Crown) give me the ability to bring up context menus and operate my graphic apps easily. It also acts as volume control, etc.

Easy to use and flexible!!!

This little server works great in my home office and was very easy to setup. Network speed is great with no hiccups and I was able to perform backups of my 4 home machines and also stream HD movies at the same time. The WD SmartWare Pro software is very easy to use for backups on all of your devices and the MyCloud app for my phone and iPads are easy to use to monitor the progress. Just make sure you have a good router for connectivity. The Cloud backup pricing is very competitive, great, and easy to use. When it comes to remote access to the data from outside of my home, the service provided by WD is definitely great for the cost.

Great for Gaming - Fast and Responsive

from San Francisco, CA
The material, texture, and sculpting of the mouse is amazing and comfortable. The mouse itself has a nice weight to it and gives a sense of control. Also, the tracking is better than any input device I had in the past and the precision and responsiveness is just as a wired mouse would be. The mouse also comes with a removable cable for charging and for wired operations.

Forget the oven

from San Francisco, CA
What an awesome appliance! I was skeptical at first when I received this from Best Buy. However, the fryer is absolutely amazing and it will do pretty much any frozen fried food or reheat anything deep fried. I love the fact you can simply set the temp and the timer and simply walk away. The housing is very well built and solid. Cleaning is simple and easy.

Portable and light weight!

This is an ultra lightweight bluetooth headphone. The ear bud design is very well done and fits in my ears flawlessly. It's light weight and doesn't feel strained even with the "over the ear" design. The sound is great and the volume is good. Definitely sweat proof as I sweat a lot. If you are looking for something minimal, this is the way to go.

They've done it again!

I've been using LG Tone since the first generation. It is truly a comfortable and very well designed device. With the updated edition giving the external speakers (without earbuds) DTS, the surround sound is amazing. In addition, you still have the retractable ear buds for when you want privacy or at the gym. Couldn't be better!!!

Great Outdoor Speaker (and indoors too)
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
The is a great and powerful portable speaker I've tried. The speaker produces great bass and decent volume outdoors. In addition, I've noticed this is wonderful for a large indoor environment as the sound is clear and loud. I love the fact that NFC pairing is available for bluetooth. The distance and connectivity is reliable without any choppiness. Definitely worth the investment.

Powerful Robot!!!
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
This is the first vacuum robot and I’ve had my doubts. But the suction is impressive and runs very smoothly and was able to cover my whole apartment which is about 1200 sq ft on a single charge. We have plenty of floor mats and rugs and it was able to maneuver through them without any issues. We have three cats and it does a great job with picking up fur, kitty food pellets around the bowls, etc. Definitely worth the investment for a quick daily cleaning!

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
 

Does this support the same wiring configurations as the Nest 3rd gen? I live in an apartment and cannot run extra wiring for the HVAC system.

I believe C-wire is required.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?

No. At this moment, the release in the U.S. is only for Verizon network. But I have a feeling they would be releasing this for International users in the near future.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?

If you have a lot of interference in your home, either with multiple devices or from nearby neighbor, yes, this device is a much better choice than the Nighthawk, which is what I previously had.
