Excellant Laptop
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: Charlie
from San Antonio
I was looking for a small laptop in the 13 to 15 inch range and came across this 13" one. Best Buy also had the same laptop with the same specs in the 15" size. I had a 13" MacBook at one time and it was the ideal size for traveling so I decided on this one. This is a 2 in 1 model with the screen able to rotate a full 360 degrees which makes it ideal for me. I watch a lot of movies while on planes and the rotating screen is great for this. It has more then enough power for my uses with 8 GB of RAM and a 7th generation Intel Core i5 processor. It has 256GB of SSD storage which is more than enough since I keep most of my work in the cloud and on backup storage. It boots up super fast with the SSD and I love the Windows Hello. I've only had the computer for one week but have no complaints at all so far. It's well made and looks great and seems very rugged. I'm going to enjoy it on my long flight to Hawaii and back later this month. BTW, this is the latest model of this computer and not last years model that is on clearance.

My First Harmony But Not My Last
on March 3, 2017
Posted by: Charlie
from San Antonio
I got this remote on sale at Best Buy at $100 off the price. After reading many reviews and hearing about many customers having troubles setting up the remote, I played it smart and spent the money I saved by having a Best Buy Geek Squad guy come to my house to set it up for me. I asked him to do it slowly and let me watch everything, which he did, and I actually saw that it was a very simple process to set it up to do everything I wanted on my home theater. He first found the ideal locations for the hub and two IR blasters to control all pieces of equipment. He then plugged the remote into his laptop computer, created a Harmony account for me, and went to the web site for programing the remote. I followed everything he did and it was very very simple. All of these people who wrote reviews and gave one and two star ratings because of the difficulty just didn't bother to do their homework before hand. I searched the Harmony website and read all of the instructions for setting up the remote before I ever bought it and I'm sure I could have set it up easily enough myself but just didn't want to bother. Everything I read about setting up the remote said to use a laptop or desktop computer and use a smart phone only as a last alternative. As soon as the Geek Squad guy started to plug the remote into his laptop, I asked him about this and he stated that only an idiot would use the app on the smart phone if they have a computer available because the computer is so much easier. After watching him, I agreed completely. He completely set up everything before he even disconnected it from his laptop and when he tried it on my entertainment system, he only had a few tweaks to make. A few days before his scheduled arrival at the house, I did him a big favor by rounding up the make and model numbers of all my equipment along with listing all of the HDMI inputs on my A/V receiver and what was connected to each. He loved this because he told me that most customers just say "make it work" and he has to get all that information. I simply followed the example worksheet on the Harmony website. After he completed the setup with my home theater, he set the remote hub to work with Alexa so now I can control my entertainment system with my voice through my Amazon Alexa. To work with Alexa, it has to be a hub based remote control. A few days after this, I was back in Best Buy looking around and I saw they had the Harmony 650 remote on sale. It was $41 off the price and I also had a $10 rewards certificate so it only cost me $39 and worth every penny. I bought it to use with my smaller home theater in my master bedroom. It is not a hub based remote so I can't use it with the Echo DOT in my bedroom but who cares. Other than that, it works the same as the Elite in that you can set up activities like "watch TV' or "watch a movie" and it will turn on and off whatever equipment is necessary for that activity. I plugged this one into my laptop and programed it myself because I had watched the Geek Squad guy do it with my Elite and I had no problems whatever. Both remotes are fantastic and I would recommend them for anyone who has an entertainment system with separate components.

Great Printer and a Fantastic Deal
on April 12, 2016
Posted by: Charlie
from San Antonio
I just bought this printer a little over two weeks ago so I may be premature on my review but I think this printer is great, especially the Instant Ink Program. I thought I might have problems getting it set up because I have two computers in my office, a Windows 10 PC and an iMac with OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) installed. The guide said it was compatible for Windows 10 but only for OS X 10.6 to 10.9. After going on the HP web site, I found out that it is compatible with 10.11, I just had to download the drivers instead of using the enclosed software disc. Actually, I ended up using the HP web siite to download all the necessary drivers for both the iMac and the PC rather than use the disc. Always the most up-to-date that way. I also loaded the drivers on a laptop PC and my MacBook Pro laptop and it works great with all four computers. Set up was a breeze. I just followed the instructions on the touch screen on the printer and it guided me through every step of the procedure. The only fault I find with the printer is that it's very loud but I can live with that. I also got a fantastic deal from Best Buy. Was on sale and I got it for only $80.99 vice the $199.99 normal price. I just received my first Instant Ink cartridges this morning but it will be awhile before I have to use them since it came with all the cartridges. In the meantime, I'm not being charged for the Instant Ink Program since the charges won't start until I put the first Instant Ink cartridge in the printer.

So What?

Just because it's not compatible with your iPhone is no reason to return a great GPS. Very few smartphone functions anyway and you can surely live without them. You should have read the specs on the Garmin web site before buying it

Why is this laptop the same price as the 15.6" Dell Inspiron Laptop with the same specs?

They are both last years model and are on clearance. The original retail price with not the same.

What is the difference from Model: I7378-0028GRY SKU: 5606400 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-2-in-1-13-3-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-256gb-solid-state-drive-gray/5606400.p?skuId=560640 other than the windows ink?

One is last years model without Windows Ink and the other is the latest model with Windows Ink. That's why last years model in on clearance right now. Just depends on whether you want the latest model with the Ink or not.
