Great speaker

I love the sound that comes out of this and I love the bass especially. IT also lights up with the music. This is also water resistant so you don't have to worry about it getting wet at all. This easily can get a medium sized room full of sound and if it doesn't or just want stereo sound you can also connect it with another speaker as well .

Perfect small portable speaker
on March 29, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
This is similar to its bigger cousin the XB41 but in a smaller form factor. Of course the sound isn't as good but its more portable and has the same features. I also find this to be slightly better then the previous model last year. This connects through bluetooth with any mobile device and also can use NFC if you phone can support it. Also can use the app which can change the EQ to have more or less bass treble and etc. You can also connect it with another speaker to make stereo sound as well. What I do like the most is that Sony added a Micro USB port to charge it now along with the AC adapter.

They sound great for the size of them but I found connection to the phone to be iffy at times. Other then that they work great. It comes with a charging case which includes 2 charges and they last around 4 hours.

Great anti virus protection
on March 2, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I used Norton but always liked AVG free product. This improves on it with other features on top of the anti virus software. It's not a resource hog like Norton has been and detects viruses like it should. Also this doesn't have a limit on how many devices and has products even for mobile phones

Great anti virus program
on December 31, 2017
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I have used various anti virus programs on my windows laptops and this works as far I know just as great as the others have used without using much resources on my computer. Though I do have 12GB of DDR4 RAM on my computer which might be why I don't notice any slow down. I have used Norton products in the pass and were fine with it but it is resource hungry at times. As far as detecting viruses I haven't noticed anything but I really don't go ay questionable;e websites on my computer so I can't contest how "great" it detects since I don't want to test it on purpose.

Good speaker with a hopefully growing AI assistant
on December 18, 2017
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I have used my fair share of these smart assistants from Apple (Siri), Google ( Google assistant), Samsung( Bixby) and Microsoft ( Cortana). I would rank from best to worse this way, Siri, Google assistant, Cortana, Bixby. Siri and Google is well rounded and my only issue with Cortana is it lacks support of features. It's the newest of the bunch except for Bixby which is why I hope Microsoft helps it grows. Not going into details of Cortana since it basically works like Google assistant or Siri. As far as it's functionality goes it works like what I have heard about Amazon Alexa and the echo goes. It's an assistant which you can ask for the weather, play music or control some smart things around the house. It also works as a speaker and this is honestly its best selling point. I've heard music from the echo and the Google home speaker thingy but this easily sounds the best out of the bunch. If Microsoft can grow Cortana it will be a great product.

I bought another blender a while ago to basically make smoothies. It did the job fine. This one can make much better smoothies and can crush ice.

Best razor I have used

Posted by: Closingracer

I usually just use the razor from Harry's since it's affordable but I find this to be even better. It comes with an attachment but for me I don't need it. Shares off easily with little effort and the best part is its water resistance.

I had one of those basic blenders you can find anywhere which had a 500w motor. This one has a 1200w motor and it makes crushing ice so much better and faster. I usually use thise to make my fruit smoothies with but you can also make soups and everything else.

By SetAside7823
The sound quality is OK but for the cost, it should be magnificent. Also the buttons controls don't control very much. Again for the cost, I should be a able to a answer calls, play/pause music, skip tracks, fast forward and remind as well as change the volume... I expected more for the money.

ASUS G751JM-BHI7N27 Laptop: Take your gaming on the go without sacrificing hard drive space or processor speeds. This powerful laptop boasts an oversized screen, built-in subwoofer and dual fans for intensive gameplay.
Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5A great gaming laptop at a reasonable price.
By JamesJr
The G751 is the newest gaming laptop from ASUS. It may not have the latest 970M or 980M graphics but the GTX 860M is no slouch and is an upper mid-range graphics chip. Also, this model is the only one that has a touch screen, the higher level models do not. The standard hard drive is plenty large at 1TB but I would have liked an SSD at this price. I have already installed one and I recommend that anyone who buys a laptop to install a SSD at least for the OS when they can.
The screen is very large and plenty bright and colorful, this laptop could easily replace your desktop. The keys have a cool red backlighting with a 10 key when you need to get some work done. Overall, I would highly recommend this laptop for anyone who wants a nice-looking and fast gaming laptop or desktop replacement.

This should have the Nvidia 970m or 980m
December 19, 2014
The G751 series in fact has the Nvidia 970 or 980m gpu inside and think either bestbuy is posting the wrong specs or the wrong model number . Also ASUS doesn't sell ROG laptops with a touchscreen to my knowledge unless this is s bestbuy exclusive model with s dumbed down gpu ?

I been a big fan of the LG tone Bluetooth headsets so i decided to buy the 750's since I already owned the 700's so bad experience with the 750 I was hopping to get better sound quality with them but bad experience so I returned them I bought the latest version the infinite hopping to get much more quality but nothing I mean these are great headphones in the way of hardware and I keep them for over a week trying different modes and different music players with equalizers but nothing I mean if you don't care about a great bass go for it... But I you do love Heavy bass don't even think about buying these headphones...

Disappointed in this purchase. Item was also priced incorrectly on the display (shown as being less than purchase price was). Now I need to make additional trip to store to return despite staff that assisted me assuring me that this would fit the MACBOOK Air 13" when it does not.

too expensive! On my 3rd screen since 7/19/15!!!
I feel like Since we have bought the screen from best buy it verizon that they will have us in the computer and should give us an immediate replacement! Waiting for them to mail out the replacement is ridiculous and not at all customer friendly! Because your iPhone screen is totally unprotected while you wait for their replacement!!! This is why I would not recommend it to friends!!! Too costly and time consuming and a huge inconvenience and hassle! I hate the way it is set up!!!

I have had this product for about 3-4 days and absolutely love it! its super thin and portable. It has a great keyboard and overall really fast machine. BUT the only thing that bothers me is the color. Only reason why i gave it 4 stars. I am actually thinking of returning the item and repurchasing once different color options become available. I just feel the current color is fit for women rather than men.

3 out of 5Great attempt by HP, but battery is dismal!
By Doug
I waited months for the lightest and thinnest 13" laptop with a Intel core i7. It has many terrific features; size, weight, awesome display, keyboard, etc. But for my uses, the negatives are too much to overcome; TERRIBLE Battery life (I have turned off Bluetooth, turned down display brightness, using power management settings, etc.) yet I am lucky to get 2.5 hours of web surfing and streaming of Netflix! Charging cord is long and bulky for travel. Audio is crisp and clear, but volume is insufficient if there is any background noise in the room at all.
I guess it is back to MacAir; as much as I wanted to get onto Windows 10. Extremely disappointed in HP's claim of 9 hours of battery life. Do they not test their prototypes out first?

While battery life with my MacBook pro is better This isn't that bad... I got around 6-7 hours with it and I was streaming Netflix and web surfing pretty much. A lot more than turning off Bluetooth, lowering brightness can affect the battery life. Low wifi signal can be an issue, high cpu usage and etc. I would also use it for a few days and see if its the same issue.

By byubangal
Laptop is one of the best looking laptops you can buy but the battery life is horrible. If you are running bluetooth, wifi, and your screen is bright; you WILL drop battery life at the rate of 1% every 3 to 4 mins. I've never seen a laptop drop power so fast. Other than that, laptop is great but I will be going back to Spectre 360
