Best gaming value / performance for the money
on January 23, 2015

I came across this bundle at my local best buy store. These two items were a special order that someone placed and never picked up so they put them on the shelf. After doing a little research I found out that the Keyboard and mouse were made up of similar high quality materials used on some of the higher end Corsair products. Needless to say for less than the price of the high end Corsair keyboard, I was able to get the Mouse and Keyboard for $124.99. The performance and durability of these items has been great! I really didn't need all of the bells and whistles for the type of gaming I do so this was a perfect fit for me. The build quality of the keyboard is excellent. Brushed aluminum frame and fast, responsive keys. The keyboard is a beast. It has an amazing number of programable keys and the software is very easy to use. The 4000 dpi mouse is well built and you have the ability to set the weights to fit your needs. I highly recommend this expelling gaming combo. You won't find a better value on the market.

Great Tablet! Must Buy Black Friday Bundle!
on November 29, 2014
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston, MA
This tablet is absolutely the most powerful tablet I have tried in a long time. Having it's own independent Nvidia Graphics Chip built in makes any type of graphic oriented software fly! Even if you are not a gamer the pure power of this tablet will out perform anything in IOS or lesser Androids. Despite what some of the haters may say this is a well built tablet. Granted it's not made of aluminum but certainly has a solid and sturdy feel to it. The bundle includes optional controller, 3 games and free Grid game streaming membership until 6/2015 this is well worth the investment and a great value. 32GB on board memory and a Micro SD Expansion slot is a bonus. The Mini HDMI port is great when you want to watch Movies or game on your Big Screen TV. I have had no issues with the WiFi connection in my home. I have a Mac Airport and set it up to transmit a 5GHz signal which runs games off the grid flawlessly with absolutely no lag. I have upgraded to the 5.0 Lollipop OS and couldn't be happier! What an improvement over the previous generation Android OS. You will not find a better value in small 8" tablets this holiday season! GO for it!

Outstanding case! Well worth the investment!

If you are looking for the ultimate protective case, than the Lunatic Extreme is the way to go. Let start by saying that this is not a waterproof case. It clearly states this in the description. But it is water resistant and most importantly shock resistant! I have owned a life proof case which claims to be waterproof and wasn't. The Extreme is bulky but it will definitely survive any drops that you may show at it. It looks wicked high tech. The price is a little steep but you pay for a well engineered case. It's not for everyone. but if you work in the trades like I do then this is the case to choose!

Wow! What a disapointment! Not Ready for Primetime
on October 14, 2014
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston, MA
Just picked this up after months of anticipation. The Playstation TV looks great on paper. But...... if it delivered exactly what is described it would be a keeper! I bought it primarily to stream my PS4 games from my PS4 to an alternate TV located elsewhere in my home. After 1 1/2 frustrating hours I was able get battlefield 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts to stream. What I experienced next was short of all out disappointment. The degree of lag and choppy streaming was so unbearable I turned everything off, packaged it up and will be returning to BB tomorrow. I know it's not my network due to the fact that being an avid gamer I have an excellent High end WiFi network installed in my house. The best way to describe the Playstation TV is that its a PS Vita without the screen. (Unfortunately I don't think it has the same horsepower under the hood as does my Vita.) Also, not offering Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime is ridiculous in this day and age. Instead Sony forces you to subscribe to their own pathetic movie and Music streaming service. Bottom line..... Great idea, excellent concept but I think I'll wait until Apple or Steam takes their shot at streaming games through a micro console.

Pebble Steel Smartwatch: This waterproof smartwatch enables you to remotely manage music, play games, check scores, read texts and receive notifications and incoming call alerts from your compatible iOS or Android device.
Posted by: HomeyGee

i was a little hesitant at first but after playing around with the display at Best Buy I was sold. You need to asked the question, "Do I really need a flashy color screen on my wrist?" The backlit black & white e-ink screen is actually very cool! It doesn't bring attention to your wrist during a meeting with an obnoxious glow. The vast number of apps that are now available at the pebble store are great! Something for everyone! The battery life is phenominal! I've been getting 6-7 days between charges. Now that the price came down it is worth the investment. It connects seamlessly to my iPhone 5s.

Amazing portable gaming device unlike any other!
on May 1, 2014
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston, MA
I have never enjoyed portable gaming as much I do now after purchasing the Nvidia Shield. I have owned the PS Vita and the Nintendo 3DS XL and believe me, they do not hold a candle to the awesome Shield! The quality build is immediately apparent once you open the box. The controller, retina screen and Android software all blend together extremely well. I purchased the Shield on sale $199.99. It is worth every dime at this price point. The software library is loaded with great quality android games. I own a Mac so I can't tell you how the PC streaming works, but from what I have read it is supposed to be really good. This is definitely a product designed by gamers. All of details have been covered. Exceptional 10 hour battery life, arcade quality controller button, crystal clear screen,console function, multiple connection points. I highly recommend the shield to any and all older (18 & up) hard core gamers. You won't be disappointed.

Nice Concept. Flawed Engineering and Software
on March 9, 2014

Age:45-54
Gender:Male
This product has a nice aesthetic design and is very lite and slim. Unfortunately the wrist bands (Both leather and rubber), that holds the activity monitor is very poorly designed and does not securely contain the device. When I was running cross country, the activity monitor fell out of the band somewhere along the route. I back tracked and was unable to find it. So I was out $100.00 and left with an empty wrist band. The iPhone software is very weak and limited in function. If you are serious about buying this device I highly recommend downloading the free misfit app and check out the functions for yourself. You will have to sign up for an account which is also free but it's worth trying before buying. Bottom line: If you avoid any vigorous exercise and don't mind a very limited data set offered by the software, then this may be for you. I ended up buying the fitbit force which is a much better option for me and my level of activity and offers plenty of data for exercise, sleep and diet.

A must have device for PS3 Owners
on December 15, 2013
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston, MA
All PS3 owners should give this wireless headset serious consideration. It's amazing how much more this adds to the gaming experience especially with the virtual 7.1 Surround sound feature. My Score for COD, BF3 and BF4 have increased exponentially! Hearing things approaching from behind and at the sides is really cool. The battery life for the rechargeable battery is close to 8 hours and takes 2 hours to completely charge. I also read on the PS website that support for the PS4 is coming in January 2014. So don't delay! Pick this great headset up while they are on sale this holiday season! You won't be disappointed! Great value for the money!

Works ok using the Android version of the app to load watch faces and other apps. I would really like for Pebble to support BlackBerry again. They were originally called inPluse, and had BlackBerry support. Also these watches DO NOT come with the metal bands, ONLY the leather band.

Watch is great, long battery life, easy to view, can look professional and very casual - no complaints. Purchased specifically for running. Had Samsung Galaxy S4 and apps were limited for GPS tracking. Used Aerotracker for features that Runkeeper lacked. Ended up switching to iPhone 6 and first app I selected ismootherun, had all the features x 10 and also fed to Runkeeper. Able to track just about anything and have displayed on watch.

Purchased this from BB after extensively reading reviews here, at competitors, and in the press. Other than some quirks in the documentation and interface guidance (which are frustrating but can be figured out) the performance is excellent all around. Lots of flexibility in configuration, very useful traffic monitoring by device. We have a large house (3000+ SF) with many barriers and the WiFi penetrates into areas for which repeaters were necessary in the past. I would strongly recommend this product - and also recommend that Asus improve its documentation.

1 out of 5Sexy form factor, but getting returned
By BillHargin
from Redmond, WA
I don't believe the 5 star reviews on this thing. IMO, it's what I would call "eye candy." It *looks* 5-star awesome, and I really like the screen size at 14", but my fan is running ALL THE TIME, and I'm getting about 2.5 hours of battery life. (Possibly less than my 1st gen Yoga from 2012.) It's usually the display that sucks up all of the power (perhaps converting it to heat, requiring the fan to run?). I'm *guessing* that the people that are happy with the battery life bought the lower resolution 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) version. I bought the 3840 x 2560 (UHD). A fan that's running all the time is the sign of a design problem, as is the 2.5 hour battery life, when 9+ hours is advertised.
The keyboard design is the worst I've experienced in the 12 or so laptops I've owned since the early 90s. The right SHIFT key isn't where it's supposed to be, so you end up arrowing up all the time. To use PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, or END, it takes two hands. The FUNCTION key is part of the process. I use those keys all the time, and this key board makes me think and use two hands for something that's much simpler on most every other laptop out there. Also, there's an extra ALT and CTRL key to the right of the space bar. (Duplicates.) That real estate would have been potentially useful for a HOME and END key. Swap the PAGE UP and SHIFT keys, and 75% of the problem is solved, I'd guess. (Only HOME and END would be a hassle at that point.) Anyway, I don't know why they didn't just use the same keyboard they had on the 1st gen Yoga. (I'd love to talk to the designers.)
They need to do a 2nd generation of this particular laptop with these problems fixed before it's worthy of more than 2 stars. I gave it one because the fan running ALL THE TIME and the 2.5 hour battery life are fatal flaws - given the other options in the market. It's unfortunate because the form factor is so nice ... I hope they do fix it.

Try updating the firmware to the latest version
February 23, 2017
Bill, I purchased the FHD version and I am getting close to 20 hours of battery life. The fan issue was immediately resolved by updating the firmware. I would suggest giving that a try.
