I bought this after reading the good reviews. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to test it and when I needed it for a friend's wedding, it didn't work. I thought the problem was with my batteries, I replaced them with a new set of batteries but it still didn't work. I had to return it. I guess if you're lucky & it's working, then it's fine and not expensive. But I think I will buy something else that's more expensive and reliable.

The price of this 2-in-1 laptop has dropped $100 from $850 now. It's fast with the Intel I7 CPU (5th Generation) with touch screen.
It's a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight laptop that can be treated like a tablet, and if you don't need a DVD reader/burner.

Save your files quickly with this Toshiba Canvio Connect HDTC710XR3 external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0 interface for transmitting data at up to 5 Gbps. The 1TB capacity provides ample storage space for your files.

I bought this when it was on-sale $50. It's fast using USB 3.0 and useful for backing up my data, photos and videos. Computers do get old and crash, or infected by unknown virus despite anti-virus program installed. It's important to do backup. For $50 it's a good price/bargain for a portable hard-drive with 1TB capacity.

Good buy for kids up to 10 years old

I have kids who're under 10. The movies are okay for them to watch. I bought this when it's on sale, a good deal. I didn't realize it came with a free tin lunch-box.

This hand vac features a compact, cordless design for go-anywhere portability. Easily clean stairs and tight spots with the 4' flexible hose.
Posted by: ownerwithcarpet

I actually had this one but I bought it not from BestBuy but Bed Bath & Beyond. I actually liked this vacuum except for its life. It died after its warranty expired (2 years I was told when I called the customer service). I used it for about 2 1/2 years and after that it couldn't be charged anymore. I guess if you don't mind to keep buying a new one every 2 - 2 1/2 years, then it's fine to get this one. The suction power was excellent.
Now I'm thinking of buying a different model with Lithion Ion (better) battery but I'm not sure that it will have the same life expectancy which I don't like.

An excellent AC router to replace old plain router
on January 21, 2014
Posted by: ownerwithcarpet
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
My old Rosewill router started to reboot by itself when more than one devices using it. I decided to buy this one instead of the Asus RT-AC68R because its faster dual-core CPU and at least $20 cheaper (BestBuy price-matched Amazon's price when it was on-sale in Amazon so I saved more $$). Some tech reviewers I read, stated that the Asus RT-AC68R had a better range/signal during their test but not much I think (I will need to be quite far, outside of my home perimeter to tell the difference). I won't have the router to be very far away from all of my devices but I do need a reliable good/strong connection. My devices get a better strong signal strength compared to using my old cheap Rosewill router. With the new 5GHz WiFi connection, I don't have the 2.4GHz WiFi crowd/interference anymore with my neighbors' signals. The 2.4GHz WiFi is getting too crowded around my area. This router so far performs well, and it has a good security feature, its router configuration interface/menu is okay but it can be better improved, not a big issue, as long as I can find/set what I need to change, and as long as it works. It has a 3.0 USB interface where I can plug-in an external hard-drive or thumb drive to be shared among devices. Overall, it's worth the upgrade. It seems to be good for media streaming as well. This device is still new for me. Hopefully it will last for quite some time.

Looking for sowftware
I have a problem with my computer right now, and I have done some research on it to make sure and I' m not the only person who has had or has this problem. I'm unable to download anything examples I cant download updates for my computer or anything of a secure website I get a message that says downloading then says download deleted contained a virus, a lot of problems I have read says its a problem with AVG but I don't have that another said it is because of to many antiviruses on the computer and another says it has to do with IE 10, I' m clueless on what to do and I don't have the money to take it in any advise will be helpful
Once your computer has been infected with viruses and without an anti-virus protection unfortunately it's really difficult to have your healthy pc back. Some viruses are quite destructive and bad, some are not so harmful (but still bad). Even if you're quite technical, you might need to do a lot of work and clean ups. Finally you might have to purchase an antivirus software like Kaspersky and boot from the CD provided, it might be able to disinfect most of the viruses or it might try to repair your pc files and operating system. But there are some files that once corrupted/damaged, they cannot be sanitized anymore. The cleanest and free way is to restore / reformat your pc and reinstall your Windows operating system if you know how to do it and if you don't have anything important (documents/family pictures) in your pc. Otherwise you'd better safe some $$ and then try to buy one antivirus and salvage your important files, then reinstall your Windows to make sure you have a clean pc.
