Excellent Sound and Fit
on June 1, 2016
Posted by: BillK
Working out at the club, it's necessary to have a headset that is not too large, fits well, and is out of the way. Not having a cord to deal with is vital. These earbuds meet all of my expectations and have great sound. In typical Bose fashion the bass is great and the sound is full. In addition they fit well and stay on the ear. Battery life is solid as well. Highly recommended for someone looking for quality, low profile ear buds.

Well Built Sub $200 Tablet
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: BillK
Having used several tablets in the sub $200 market I was looking forward to using a 10" model running Lollipop. First, the tablet is well built and feels good in your hands. It's not heavy but feel substantial and not flimsy. The screen is actually pretty good as well and looks high quality. Overall, performance has been good for this level of tablet. You will not have great performance on graphic intensive or high resource games but standard games should work well. Web browsing as well as apps like Facebook, Twitter and email ran very well. Netflix was a positive experience as well.
The one area that is a bit of a concern is memory management. I found myself clearing apps more often than would be expected. Acer also pre-installs a memory management app that seems to alert high memory usage quite often. I would not say this is a show stopper for this tablet but something to keep in mind.
Overall, I am pleased with this tablet for items such as web browsing, social media, email, and video services. You can't go wrong for the price!

Very Good Router with Great Features
on May 17, 2016
Posted by: BillK
For the past several years I have been using the latest model of Apple Airport Extreme WiFi router. It's easy to use, setup and stylish plus it works very well. I was hesitant to try a new router but decided to give EA9500 a chance. The features on this router are excellent even surpassing the Apple Airport Extreme. The setup is easy and the design is great. I have not experienced any degradation in signal or network speeds. The mobile app is useful to manage the usage and connected devices. The only downside is price when compared to other high end routers like the Apple Airport Extreme. If you are in need of high end router, give this a try. If you are looking to save money, wait for it to go on sale.

Pretty Good for a Sub $100 tablet
on August 11, 2015
Posted by: BillK
from Duluth MN
Purchased this tablet based on online reviews and am pleasantly surprised. While it is not the speediest or has the crispest screen, it does provide enough response to not be a major annoyance. This is not a powerhouse for gaming but will browse web, watch videos and do email just find. This should set the benchmark for all sub $100 tablets going forward.

Great Tablet on a Great Platform

After having the 2013 Nexus 7 I wanted to upgrade. Purchased this and was not disappointed. Lollipop is a great platform that will continue to get better with updates. I like the Nexus line since it's directly supported by Google.

Great tablet at $199

Picked this up for $199 and it was well worth the purchase. Running Windows 8.1 on a touchscreen tablet shows what Microsoft had in mind. Responsive to the touch any great screen. Worth getting at this price.

This product is...:Easy to set up and is lightning fast
Purchased this when it was on sale for $349 and absolutely love it. Previously owned an ASUS gaming machine that was about 3 years old. That machine ran $850 and this one rivals it in every way. The only difference is screen size. The kids have used this to play Minecraft and WOW and it runs smooth with no lag at medium settings.
Only change was I added a 4GB stick of memory for about $20 and that increases the performance of this machine greatly.
What's great about it: Processor, speed, clean layout
What's not so great: Keyboard seems cheap, screen size

Great Laptop for Price

Bought this laptop for my son to play Minecraft and basic web browsing and it works great. Added an additional 4GB on RAM and this machine is very good. He added several of the texture packs with no lag. Very fast and good screen resolution.
Also played Starcraft 2 at the highest settings with very little lag.

I bought this game because the kids saw it and liked it. I liked that it included 25 games out of the box. After having it for two weeks, the kids are just getting to the point where they are unlocking addtional games included. It's provided hours of entertainment for them as we wait for Spring! Good value for the price.
What's great about it: many included and unlockable games, great for kids
What's not so great: graphics are a little cheesy
