The app-connected Polaroid Now+ Generation 2 instant camera gives you creative control through the Polaroid App: Aperture priority, light painting, double exposure, self-timer, manual mode and more—plus 5 lens filters you can attach to the camera. All in a classic design, and now made with 40% recycled materials. Compatible with Polaroid i-Type & 600 film in the original Polaroid instant film format.
Posted by: Closingracer
This is the first Polaroid camera I've used since I was a child and I'm in my 30's now. I actually thought they just went out of business or something since the age of digital cameras and the like but apparently not. With this camera you can get the instant film like you did in the past but with more modern features like syncing to an app. With this camera you can use two different types of film the older 600 or the newer I type film. The 600 is cheaper than the I type by a few dollars and based off what I've searched about the differences between both the 600 will eventually go away.
Anyways you get inside the box
The camera
A set of filters
USB type c cable to charge it

Using this camera is a blast. It still has that nostalgic feel with it. Using it to take photos in the moment is quite fun. They take a few minutes to develop but still it's fun. It's quick and easy to use with no complicated features like a DSLR or a mirror less camera and while doesn't take the quality shots like those it's for the fun inclusive shots that makes this great

Now this laptop is typical Microsoft finish and feel with a metal top but to save cost has this aluminum/ plastic bottom but it feels quite nice. It feels premium. The laptop only weighs like around 2.5 pounds which is light. Thats great for on the go and if you're using this for basic web browsing and web content. With the 3:2 display you get to see a lot of the web page of document which is great for productivity.
As for the negatives which is why I gave this 3 stars although I feel 2.5 is warranted. For the price of $799 you can get other laptops although on sale which has better specs like a better CPU, more memory, more storage and a better screen. That if you stay in the windows OS platform. You can find the Macbook Air M1 which has the same ram and storage but with a better cpu, better screen and better battery life than this device for $749 typically. I think Microsoft really needs to improve the screen to justify the $799 price although I feel it will go on sale for a price that makes this worth it ($600) or lower the MSRP the price of this device to make it worthwhile purchase.

Engineered for performance and style, the LG Sound Bar SE6 delivers powerful sound in a compact design. Delivers big and impressive bass with 4 passive radiators, so there is no need for a subwoofer. Transform your room with a Dolby Atmos¹ and DTS:X² sound bar made with premium fabric and 12% recycled material³.
Posted by: Closingracer
I have used various sound bars from other companies along with various audio products from LG mostly their speakers and earbuds before. I have always liked the LG audio products as a consumer product. Setting up this soundbar is quite easy. You can use the HDMI earc, optical cable, Bluetooth, wifi to use ti Google Home, or Apple's version of it which i think is Airplay? I have been using it with google home intergration, Bluetooth and optical cable. I have it set up with my phone through bluetooth and Optical cable with my monitor. Using the remote is simple and you can chnage the settings like between bluetooth and etc quite easily along with changing the volume or turning it on or off. This also works with Dolby Atmos so you get better sound as well. The sound bar gets loud enough and clear enough as well so it is a step up fro0m using your TV or monitor's built in speaker unit but below a home theater setup. This is partially why I prefer sound bars because you don't need a lot of space for it vs a whole speaker setup and you get good sound out of one like this.

great security camera
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: Closingracer
This device is great. It is a 2K wired Smart Security camera. It works with Apple Homekit, Google home and etc and easy to setup with wifi as well. It also has a magnetic base as well so you can place it anywhere as long as its metal so you just need to add a metal plate on a wall or like on a fridge or whatever. I just set it up on a table in my Room. If you are renting a room I find it important to see whats happening and if anybody has gone in my room I have actually lost money in my room and if I had a camera in my room I would of known for sure who did it. Anyways This is a 2K resolution camera which is great to see the details and you can see everything. Yeah 4K might be better but I find anything with a good 1080P or higher resolution sensor can do the job quite fine. It also hasa privacy shutter so you can make sure nothing is being seen if you don't want it to record anything as well especially if you're using this in your room or bedroom. You just need to supply a micro SD card for storage.

This is what the first gen watch should of been
on October 24, 2023
Posted by: Closingracer
This is the succeesor to the first pixel watch that came out about a year ago. This watch is better in every way but let's find out if you should upgrade to get this watch.
Inside the box you get
The charger puck which isn't wireless anymore
The watch
And the large band as well
The charger puck which isn't wireless anymore
The watch
And the large band as well
They advertise this watch now getting all day battery life with AOD on. It also has better sensors as well for your health related stuff as well. I myself use the watch mostly for notifications, telling the time and to track my steps. You can also track your sleep as well and now workouts will be tracked and started automatically if you forget which is new compared to the first watch. As far as battery life goes I found the first one would last me throughout the day barely with around 10-25% when I go to bed. Now with this one I have around 40-55% battery life. Which is quite an improvement. Enough I would use it to sleep track if I didn't have other devices that didn't do it already .
Also this device does integrate with Fitbit and Fitbit premium which makes tracking your health data quite easily as well. If you're looking to buy a new android watch I would say this is a great option but I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from the first gen unless you really want that better battery life.

Great phone for the price.

I have used previous Pixel phones before like the Pixel 7 Pro and the first gen pixel XL. The pixel devices always promote a mostly clean OS. Close to ASOP. This Pixel 8 is no different. This device looks similar to the Pixel 7 and 6 before it but more redefined. The pixel 8 has a few upgrades over the Pixel 7 the last years device.

With this device Google promised 7 years of Security and OS updates which is new for google. This is good because a lot of devices don't have that long of security and OS updates. With the Tensor G3 I believe that could work if your goal with the phone isn't for high end stuff but for basic phone use I don't see it being an issue. With the display finally having a 120hz display It finally has the same premium display as with the other devices in the $600-$800 range that uses Android.

Great webcams value
on September 28, 2023
Posted by: Closingracer
This thing is great for using on your desktop for video calls like on zoom or what's app or etc with your desktop. It works with windows and MacOS as well.simply plug in and use right away you don't need to download any software to start using it. Quick and easy just like that.
It is a 1080P camera and can also 720p if your computer doesn't have 2GB of ram.
You can also download Logitech Options plus app to tinker with the camera but to be honest for basic needs the options right out of the box is fine. It's also cheap with a MSRP of $40 and for that this is great. Definitely better than most webcams on laptops in the budget market and better than some premium laptops as well. The mic quality isn't amazing but for what most people will use it for the mic does the job quite ok. As far as video goes I find it takes in enough light that the video doesn't look dark at all and you can see everything clearly. You can also record in 720p as well if you want to stream with it and use less memory as well .

To set this up you need a micro SD card and their app to update the firmware at the start and to use as a companion app as well. You also have the option pay a fee to get more optional features with the app and the camera if you choose.
Once you set up the camera it is quite easy to use The camera has a small LCD screen in the front that you can use to see what you're recording or taking photos of if you want to record yourself. It also has a bigger LCD screen that you can use to see what you're recording as well. Here you can change the quality of the video you're taking like 4K, 5k or 1080p. Also you can choose to do slow mo videos as well. The grip that is included can be used a tripod to set it up on a surface like a table. It also buttons to control the camera like to start and stop recording as well.

I tried using this with the CD player, Spotify connected through WiFi, the FM radio and my Android phone connected by Bluetooth.
Setting this up was easy when you downloaded the technics app which you can download through the Google Play store or Apples App store. They include a QR code to find it easily.
While you won't get the best possible sound from CD's compared to say vinyl CDs are still better than say Spotify and streaming services. I am not an audiophile but I can appreciate the better sound quality from CD's then Spotify. That being said I also think having Spotify feature and Bluetooth is nice to have so you don't need an Bluetooth speaker or anything as well on top of this.
Also this is Google assistant compatible as well so you can use it with Google home as well.

Nividia 3080 10GB
16GB DDR5 memory 4400 mhz*
1TB SSD
1TB 7200 RPM HDD
3 ARGB Fans for cooling
* In device manager it states it's Samsung memory at 4800 mhz and XMP is disabled and seems to can't be turned on so we're locked to 4400 speeds. Isn't bad considering it's faster than DDR4 but worth noting
Also nowhere is stated on the info page this computer has a 1TB 7200 RPM HDD but this computer does have a 3.5 HDD for storage as well.
Setting up the desktop is typical windows affair. We all know how it is. And for the first day or so I did use the included keyboard and mouse. They aren't bad and great to use to just start playing but I prefer my Logitech G713 and G705 keyboard and mouse combo myself.
In terms of upgradability there is a 3rd M.2 slot (first two is used for the SSD and WiFi card) for another SSD and I included a Samsung 990 pro in my computer. Was read and no issues. The Motherboard is Acer OEM and it seems limited tho.
As far as gaming goes this has a 3080 and can easily play every game at max settings at 1080p that I've thrown at it. I am currently playing Star Field on this at 4K and around high ish settings getting around 40 fps which isn't bad. Obviously need to lower settings if you want a higher fps .
With the ARGB fans and predator Sense app included onto the system you can easily control fan speeds and the color of the ARGB fans. You can easily monitor the temps of the CPU, GPU and the temps inside the case and increase fan speeds manually if needed to keep it cool. I had it on auto and the fans never got loud while playing games.

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.

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 ?

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

Jabra Elite 7 Active is engineered with our unique Jabra ShakeGrip™ technology, sweat and waterproof durability, and ultra-compact design, they’ll stay in place through even the toughest workouts. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and HearThrough features allow a customized level of immersion, so you can be in control of your workout and your sound. If you need to keep an ear free, mono mode lets you use either bud independently. Stash the one you’re not using in the case, and you can even extend your battery by using one and charging the other. And Alexa Built-in and Google Assistant are at your command with just the tap of the bud. Multipoint connects to two devices at once, lets you seamlessly switch between devices, and is available as a firmware update via the Jabra Sound+ app.
Can you use only one or do you have to wear the pair to use
You can use either the right or left mono.

You can pick it up on Friday the day you purchase it if you wanted to and didn't order it soon before closing. You can't use apple gift cards at bestbuy and only at the apple store. If you want Apple sells iPads on their website hat you can pick up at the store option though
