Difficult rating
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: Ftpolkmp
This was very difficult to rate fairly. As someone who has worked on Windows systems for the last 20 years I wanted to try out the Chromebook to see if it was a viable alternative. In my opinion it does not bring enough. Parts of the hardware (the mouse especially) is like a Mac. The software is like using your android phone. There a lot of free apps that you can download, which is nice, but it doesn't pack the power of a Windows operating system. The other issue is that it does not have all the applications that your phone has. Google is supposed to be working on this but, as of now, they are not completely compatible with all play store apps. There are some nice features to the laptop such as the ability to swing the monitor 360 degrees to make it a tablet and the the touch screen. All in all I would recommend this more as a starter PC for children or older adults who may not be ready for the complexities of a Mac or Windows PC. For people who want more and are tech savvy there appears to be an option to run Ubuntu alongside the Chorome software. I won't go into it because it's not fair to rate this laptop off something it is not loaded with and was not meant to be loaded.

Did not preform as well as I had hoped
on May 16, 2016
Posted by: Ftpolkmp
I set this up in a room that I have been having trouble with my wireless connections. It did increase the signal strength but only by about 1 bar. The setup was very easy and took no time at all to connect to my nighthawk router. It is doing what I need, I was hoping for a little better signal strength than I got.

Replaced my Linksys EA6300
on May 16, 2016
Posted by: Ftpolkmp
I had my EA6300 setup on the second floor of my 2200 SQ FT house because most of my wireless systems were on the second floor and could not connect when it was setup on the first floor. The first thing I did was to test the signal strength of the EA9500. It was very impressive. I was able to stream vudu movies 2 houses away through aluminum siding.I was able to set this up on the first floor and connect my wireless systems through the whole house.The streaming speeds were amazing. Streaming Netflix and Vudu starts almost immediately with no lag. I am extremely pleased with this router.

Listen like never before with QuietControl 30 wireless headphones. Breakthrough technology lets you set your own level of noise cancellation, so you can control how much of the world you want to let in - or how quiet you want your surroundings to be. Volume-optimized EQ gives you balanced audio performance at any volume, while a noise-rejecting dual-microphone system provides clear calls, even in windy or noisy environments. Connect easily to your devices with Bluetooth and NFC pairing. QuietControl 30 wireless headphones feature a lightweight neckband design that conforms to your body for all-day comfort and wearability. A lithium-ion battery gives you up to 10 hours of wireless listening per charge. And the Bose Connect app helps you manage your paired devices and gives you enhanced control. Available in Black.

Love these
By Ftpolkmp
I'm not much of a Bose fan but these are really nice. The neck piece is a soft rubber coating and is very comfortable around the neck. The ear pieces fit nicely in the ear and stay in place while I was doing carpentry work around the house.I really like the noise cancellation. Even without the music it does a real good job of elimination most background noise. The only odd thing, but something I liked, is when you turn the noise cancellation all the way down it seems to increase the sounds around you. For an older person who is getting a little hard of hearing I liked that little extra amplification.

Had an issue with the headphones
October 19, 2016
I had an issue with the headphones where the green LED light would not go off. The headphones appeared to turn off as you could tell the noise cancelation was off and the music stopped playing but the light stayed on. This was causing the battery to drain as no matter what I did it would not go off. Eventually the battery completely drained and I tried charging them again but the light still would not go off. I called the Bose support number and talked to someone who immediately and without question set me up to have a new pair sent out. I was extremely impressed with the customer service. I just received the new pair today and will be checking them out this week. Thank you Bose for awesome customer service.

Enhance your viewing experience when watching TV with this Sony mini sound bar. The front-facing speakers deliver clear top-range and midrange tones so you can hear voices more clearly, while the built-in subwoofer adds resounding bass for a full-bodied sound. This Sony mini soundbar supports USB and Bluetooth connectivity for music playback.
 

Confused about whether this is optical or hdmi arc as it says "Send audio and control information from your TV using just one cable with HDMI ARC" but lists the optical cable as being included and says there are no hdmi inputs and one optical input.

It has a single HDMI input and so the ARC capability but the HDMI cable is not included, It comes with an optical cable
