Best router I have ever used
on May 17, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
I was skeptical in buying a better router than my old trusty G router since my internet speeds is only 50MBPS down and 5MBPS up. I typically get around 40MBPS down and 5-6MBPS up with my old router. Never thought of upgrading to a newer router because I figured my G router would do the job considering my data speeds. Boy I was wrong. I am now getting around 60MBPS down and 6-7 MBPs up with this new router and now since it is an AC router no more interference from devices around my house like microwaves lol. My old router was a nether one and while I never had any issues with setup page I find Linksys is to be quite easy to use and navigate. Would I suggest my friends to buy this router ? If they have large households who have a lot of different devices and has $400 to spend I would say this is a fantastic choice for a router and well worth the price tag.

Good tablet if your on a budget.
on May 17, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
This tablet is pretty good at the price point Acer is selling it as. The MSRP is $139.99 and I would buy this product at that price point if I was looking for a tablet. The screen is an IPS display with a resolution of 1200x800. The resolution isn't the greatest but at $139 I am not complaining about it at all. From what I can tell at this price point of $150 or below you would be hard pressed to find a tablet with an IPS display which I find the best one to use out of LCD displays since it allows to have better viewing angles, better color saturation and just a brighter display in general. Out of the box it seems to have a screen protector already installed which if it is than it is a nice touch specially for a tablet at this price. The build quality isn't the best but it is good specially for what you are getting. The tablet comes with a Media Tek quad core cpu, 32GB on internal storage that can be expanded with a micro sd card and 2GB of RAM. I like the fact they also included 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage vs using 8GB or 16GB of storage.
All in all if you're looking to buy a tablet but don't necessarily want break the bank this is probably one of the better tablets out there that is 10 inches and under $150 dollars.

Love this laptop
on February 5, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I have always been a Windows user but I needed something last all day in school and this is a great device for great battery life. I find it very easy to use getting used to it after only a few hours and love it. I have a 17 inch Windows laptop but now is only used to play games on. I would suggest this version with the 256GB SSD because 128GB is quite small but usable if that is all you can afford. I love that I can use this with my iPhone and that most of my stuff works on my macbook like Microsoft Office.

Safeguard the display on your Apple iPhone 6 Plus with this InvisibleShield Luxe Glass IPPBGS-GD0 screen protector, which is constructed from tempered-glass with a polycarbonate frame for edge-to-edge defense against scratches and smudges.
Posted by: Closingracer

I typically hate screen protectors and I have tried a glass one for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Spigen and hated it because it didn't feel smooth like the phone glass. I had a reward coupon for $20 so I figured i'll give this one a shot since I have a niece who uses my phone and as such figured I'm better off getting one. I have a gold iPhone 6 Plus so I like that this matches. I did the installation in the Bestbuy Store that I bought it in and was quite easy. Got one small hair particle under the screen but oh well since looks good.

Love these headphones!
on January 15, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I had a pair of Beats solo 2 in Red and lost them a few days ago so I was looking for a new pair of headphones I was looking on amazon because it is cheaper but I knew I was always going to buy them at Bestbuy because A) the one in Union Square in Manhattan is basically open 24/7 ( they do close for a bit on Saturday and Sunday) and B) I generally like the place more then Amazon. I find the employees at the ones near me at least are good and don't try to a hard upsell. I got these headphones for $219 since they were on Amazon for that price so after tax it was $239 and these are a steal at the price. They sound exactly the same as the wired ones but with the advantage of no wires! these last quite a while on a charge and when they die unlike the studios and the studio wireless you can simply plug in and listen to music even when the battery dies.

I lost the pair of included earbuds that came with my iPhone 6 Plus. I decided to buy these to replace those because these are cheap. I have way better headphones and earphones but these I got so I can just throw them into my pocket and I don't care if I lose them. For the price of $10 these sound decent but not anything I would spend much more on. These almost hurt my ears at louder volumes but at lower these do the job good enough.

Good device but poor battery life at least for me
on January 9, 2016
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I wanted to love this device. I loved the idea and the form factor was cool but I only got about 4 hours of battery from it. I had the screen at 50% and only web browsed and watched a few youtube videos on it and it was dead in around 4 hours. I decided to exchange it for a Macbook pro because I needed something for college that required something to last at least 4 hours for one class. Overall this is jut my experience with the device and others might have better experience with their own device. Reviews stated around 7 hours of battery life.

LG Tone Infinim Wireless Headphones: With a slim, ergonomic design created for comfort, you'll forget you're wearing these headphones. One-touch controls make it easy to answer phone calls and control music, while retractable earbuds keep wires out of the way.
Posted by: Closingracer

I found these on Amazon for $81 dollars but I wanted them now so I called Bestbuy and they price matched them. Also got the warranty for only $14.99 which is great because I can just walk into any Bestbuy and get them replaced should I need to. Bluetooth does mess with the sound quality a bit since your'e compressing the music file even more assuming your'e using MP3 or another similar format. The highs are a bit rolled off but the Bass and Mids are really good. The Bass doesn't bleed into the mids at all.

Great pair of earphone
on November 15, 2014
Posted by: Closingracer
from Brooklyn, New York
I don't think at only looking at sound quality it isn't worth it but with Bose customer service and the fact these don't go digging in your ear canal makes these great pair of headphones you can buy for $129. As far as sound goes I think it could personally use a bass boost and the mids a little more front but I do like the treble not being high like they are in the beats solo hd ( solo 2 are pretty good). These do sound great with any type of music though

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.

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...

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
