Great, lightweight vacuum!
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Mike
The suction paired with extreme versatility of this vacuum cleaner is amazing! Cleans pet hair from furniture with ease, especially with the under-couch attachment to get under furniture without having to move it! The liftaway portion makes cleaning stairs easier and more comfortable. Very quiet and convenient, small enough to store easily too!

Bring out the bass in your music with these Bluetooth-enabled Sony over-ear headphones. Its digital noise-canceling technology lets you shut out external sounds for immersive listening, and you can play tunes wirelessly for up to 22 hours. The soft ear pads on these Sony over-ear headphones provide comfort during long listening sessions.

Nice upgrade from old model! Very impressed!
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: Mike
The largest improvement for this model for Sony's higher end noise cancelling headphone is that noise cancelling itself, this has seen the largest improvement with or without music playing through. The app in iTunes app store is fairly useless as the controls on the headphones are more than sufficient and easy to use. Bluetooth pairing was easy and a painless, simple set up. There is no quality loss by going wireless versus wired as Sony has been able to correct any issues they've had previously in the Bluetooth connection in these headphones. The only drawback is for those who have larger ears, the cups for the headphones may seem a bit tight but still very comfortable. Definitely would want recommend trying them on to ensure they fit you comfortably if possible but they do flex some to form a better fit over time. I would highly recommend them for students or professionals that are looking for a little peace and quiet in a very reasonably priced set of headphones!

Amazing mesh WIFI network for larger homes!
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: Mike
I replaced an older AC1900 router that had many dead spots throughout our apartment. Although it did take more than the five minutes to set up that the box claims, after the Velop system was set up it worked phenomenally! Most of the dead spots in our apartment are gone and the speeds have increased throughout the network itself! I would definitely recommend this for larger homes (not necessarily a 1000 SqFt apartment like mine) as the separate nodes will allow you to dedicate a portion of the network to a certain dead spot area and even hard wire certain devices that are further away from where your router/modem originally were! I do wish this system could be set up and configured from a computer versus just the mobile app from a smartphone but setup was still very easy and straight forward!

It can blend anything!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I purchased this for my girlfriend as the Ninja blender she was using before only worked with the 16oz cups and she wanted the larger capacity. This thing has it all! Works perfectly to mix up meal replacement shakes, even with things such as frozen fruits right out of the freezer (no thawing required!) and ice in no time at all! It's quieter than our old Ninja and much more efficient! The larger cups are perfect for any individual shakes with the ability to use the large blending pitcher for more people and the food processor works like a charm!

Amazing backpack for carrying tech!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I bought this backpack after reading most of the reviews that are on Best Buy and compared it between quite a few different ones. The winner with this one is that is has many different pockets for all kinds of devices. It even has a special separate compartment just for a tablet! Fits my 14 inch Toshiba Ultrabook perfectly and my Surface 3 at the same time! Fitting numerous text books with the laptop and tablet in there makes things a bit tight but the straps and design really help keep the bag comfortable on your back. Very durable and exceptional quality materials!

Great trimmer!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
Excellent trimmer with a lot of options for many different functions! Works great as a beard trimmer and to clean up in between haircuts with many different adapters for a close shave or keeping your neck cleanly cut. The only thing I wish it was able to do is shave while it's still plugged in but the battery charges very quickly and last for a long time as well. I would definitely recommend this anyone who's looking for a versatile trimmer!

Excellent Advance Router
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Mike
This router works excellently with heavy usage. It seems like the more devices you connect with higher bandwidth needs, the better it performs! The MU-MIMO is one of the best features as it allows multiple direct beams to the most demanding devices to help ensure they stay connected with the performance they need. I have owned a number of Linksys routers in the past and this one carries on the ability to use their Smart WiFi app on your smartphone which adds the convenience of having everything in your network available at your finger tips! I would highly recommend this for homes or small offices with many devices that are very demanding of your networks capabilities and the need for a very reliable network signal!

Amazing computer, but wait IT'S A TABLET!
on May 5, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I purchased this to replace an older windows tablet that's performance was quickly limited and met an unfortunate end when it met playful cats and the floor. I had scoured through reviews and came to the same conclusion every time that the Surface 3 is the right tablet for me! The perfect blend of performance and value! The 128 GBs of storage and 4 GBs of RAM in an ultra portable, stylish tablet with an amazingly clear screen! The Surface pen is an absolute MUST to really take full advantage of all this system has to offer and works flawlessly right out of the box! I would definitely recommend this tablet to anyone who doesn't need the capacity of the Pro (or doesn't want to pay more for/have a higher performance tablet than the high performance laptop you recently purchased!) or is looking for a portable platform that won't be bogged down by using REAL computer programs, not JUST apps!

Incredible watch that's smart!
on November 9, 2015
Posted by: Mike
The best part about this watch is just that, it looks like a watch! The smart features are definitely a plus but the overall look and feel of the watch is just amazing. The rotating bezel is excellent and extremely convenient for quick, precise adjustments in any conditions or situations. This holds especially true if you live in a colder climate and and you want to check or change something without taking off your gloves to use the touch screen. I've had this watch for just over a week and have averaged just under 2 days of full, heavy use out of the battery. Another huge advantage to this watch is the integrated keyboard for replying to messages (both text and Facebook) that makes for a quick, easy way to respond with something more than just a pre-loaded quick reply. The wireless charging is great too, this also makes the watch more water-resistant than others and allows you to use it for swimming (or in the shower) if you choose to do so.

Premium USB external sound card gives you crystal-clear game sound and voice chat. Designed for tournaments with downloadable audio EQ profiles tuned by your favorite esports pros. Play to win.
Does it work for PlayStation 4??
Sure can! There are two included cables in the box, I would recommend using the one that has the audio dial and mic must switch built into it. Just have to plug the 3.5 mm cable into the 3.5 mm headset port on the bottom of the Dual Shock 4 controller.

Can i use this during my workout sessions I have read articles which says it is not sweat proof and water resistant. I need to understand how bad can it get or damage the product if used during the workout? Is it ok to use or not recommended for workout
I was curious about this too. So, I decided to take a risk yesterday and used them on a 5 mile run. 96 degrees with a heat index of 113 and the last mile was heavy rain, drenched in sweat and they're still working like a charm! I would recommend to wipe them off immediately and set them out to dry before putting them back in the case though, just to make sure no water and salt get in the case or stay on the metal contacts.

Will this work with the Insignia Google Assistant Smart Speakers without a hub like it does with Google Home and Mini?
Yes, this will work just the same as the Google Home and Mini. Tested it myself and worked like a charm (had to turn off the mini and JBL Google Home to truly verify).

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
I just received mine Wednesday (7/18) that was on order, it hasn't been out very long, maybe a few weeks? I've really been enjoying the system, great machine for heavier productivity work (massive spreadsheets and documents) that you'd never think better graphics would help and playing some PC games that were a little too intensive to play and keep my laptop cool enough. Check out my review listed under "Mike" and should have a "Tech Insider Network" listed under my name (if you're looking on the website and not a mobile app).

Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?
Integrated into the APU, kind of like a 2-in-1 setup. Beats out the Intel HD integrated graphics but nowhere close to a good dedicated GPU, though there is space in the machine for that upgrade. The APU dedicates 1024 MB (1GB) for graphics and the rest is allocated for sharing between regular tasks and graphics. During GTA V I got a readout of over 3GB of RAM being brought over for graphics to keep it at 1080P 45 FPS. There are definitely ways that you can dedicate more of the system RAM to graphics but, side by side, a decent dedicated GPU is going to beat it out.

Please Explain: Number Of Memory Slots 2 Number of Memory Sticks Included 3
I found this a bit confusing too, might be a type-o or that it's counting the HDD as part of the memory included? It's 2 memory sticks and slots for RAM, 1 spot for a 3.5" HDD.

What are the ram sticks that come with the computer? is it (1) 8gb and (1)4gb?
That is correct. I was curious about it when I received the unit, so I opened the casing to verify that it was. Easy upgrade to get to 16 if you'd like, one easy to remove screw and panel but the RAM is a little tight where it's placed on the motherboard.

Enhance your viewing experience with this 65-inch LG LED television. The Intelligent Processor maximizes color, depth and sharpness to produce a more realistic picture. This LG LED television has Dolby Atmos to deliver theater-quality audio.
can i hook it to the coaxial cable that comes out of the wall, or do i need some kind of RF converter?
That's entirely up to your cable/satellite provider, most will require some form of box to receive their services now. If you're using a whole home antenna system, you'll be fine. This set has a digital tuner to receive over-the-air SD and HD broadcast channels.
