Keep your notebook moving with this PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick. The low 1300MHz frequency speed helps to reduce temperatures across the laptop while ensuring it still has enough speed to keep data flowing to important programs. Each PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick is ideal for motherboards that have 1.5-volt RAM slots.

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Expert
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Multimedia (music, movies, photos)
I got 2 of these with a 2011 Mac mini... I thought that I'd pump the RAM up to 8GB and also pump the VRAM from 256-288 to 512. The chips fit perfectly and I never had any issue booting into the system and the Profiler read both RAM chips.
The odd thing was, with these chips installed, the mini would reboot itself anywhere from 4- 10 times a day, which made it worthless as a home media server. Once I took these out and went back to the 2GB stock Apple RAM - no more reboots... didn't change anything else, just the RAM.
I think I may have just gotten a lemon chip, because I usually have great luck with PNY and I do normally recommend them... just can't in my particular instance...
What's great about it: Price, availability
What's not so great: Didn't work with my 2011 Mac mini
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Experience immersive entertainment options with this Sony 4K Blu-ray player. Its Ultra HD resolution provides exceptionally detailed screen images with increased brightness and more realistic color, and its support of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provides cinema-quality sound. This Sony 4K Blu-ray player supports high-resolution audio formats for more accurate music reproduction.
Can this Sony Player connect to a soundbar receiver with blue tooth?
According to the specs, yes, you should be able to pair a unit with a Bluetooth soundbar - but to be fair, I didn't try it.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
What other device is need to turn lights off in your home?
You need a smart switch. Home natively supports Philips Hue - but if you have a WeMo switch like I do, you need to rely on the IFTTT app and write some if-then guidelines.

Which HDMI cable is the best? Audio Quest,Monster Cable,RocketFish
There's really no difference right now between HDMI cables. With Monster, you're paying for the brand and really nothing else when it comes to HDMI cables.
Best Buy has some cables that are online only and are a great value. No noticable difference between the value cable and a 3' Monster cable that I had.
