Loving the color scheme!

I guess you can say its not your dads old razor... Or wait is it? The colors embossed on the razor go back to the old days of how these products looked. Gone are the days of expensive razors and in with a head that can be rinsed in water.
Just took it for a test spin yesterday and was very comfortable on my face. I actually prefer this over the razors as its hard to shave my face in certain areas, maybe the stubble was too thick for the razor or so forth but this shaver just gets it.
Love the mustache trimmer that pops out as I failed miserably with scissors trying to trim once, at least this will make trimming easier.
It charges pretty quick after I got it out of the box and I appreciate the bag that was included in the bag as it will be handling travelling this year and next.

Great for slow pokey 500gb XBOXES
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights, CA
Greatly improves the speed of my gaming. Games like DOA 6, And other loading intensive games actually seem faster on the loading speed. Assembly was super simple and I transferred all my games from my 1GB hdd to this one. Took a little while but it did it all.
Note - this drive says it's for XBOX One , I did not see anything on the box where it would work on PC. Did not test for that. Used the drive as it is intended.
Bonus- they included 2 free months of XBOX Ultimate in the box. When I redeemed the codes, it said I would get an extra month if I had auto pay enabled. So for each code, which was 2 in the box on the piece of paper, I actually got 4 free months which is nice to not have to pay until March of Next Year.
Worth the retail price to purchase an upgrade for your system, especially since games are not getting smaller they are getting bigger (Yes we're talking 50gb+ games! )

Ok with some quirks.
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
Does not really bog down the system like some of the other packages out there. Installation was smooth with a few quirks that popped up during installation but a quick Google Search found my answers to the issues I was having.
A plus is that I am able to install this product on my phone included in one of the licenses. A bad item which takes away 1 star from the review is that I keep getting reminded that my privacy is not secure to pop ups about hiding your online activity blah blah blah from a window interface.
It is a premium product and should not try to up sell me to purchase additional modules for better support.
The suite is Good, but it does its best to upsell you more. I own a product of a competitor and it does not upsell me like this one does.

Is this laptop for Real!?!
on July 23, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Bay Area, CA.
Wow, just Wow. Games are silky smooth on this laptop. I played a couple such as Street Fighter V, Tomb Raider , Lost Planet 3, Pinball Arcade DX 11 Mode and a few others and I a just wowed by the quality of the unit. It's solid and throws anything it's handed.
It was easy to setup. and has enough ports for my Astro Gaming Headset, WD USB 3.0 1TB External Drive and Logitech Gaming mouse with Power Play mat. USB Port is awesome and surprising for this gaming laptop but I would expect no less from Dell to include this.
Interfaces well with my XBOX One Controller too.
It has a 512 GB SSD, But for my games I play they wlll go on the external drive.
Unit does have some bloatware but easily removable. Does not ship with the last Windows build, but it's not hurting anything for the time being, so if it updates, well fingers crossed it goes well if you know what I mean and you're a gamer and tech enthusiast like me. I say if it works out , don't do anything else to fix it.
8GB Ram is too little for some, they may gripe at it , but again... I threw everything on high detail and no problems. Good to go here!
I am a little ticked off that I had to sign in with my XBOX Ultimate Membership log in, AKA Microsoft Account and was not offered the chance to create an offline account but it's really not a deal breaker as I'm going to need it sometime soon to play the PC Game library I get across my XBOX One and Gaming Laptop.
There are so many other reasons I can give to get this and it's very competitive with some of the other units out on the market. A solid choice for any gamer.

Just like the dentist... Well close second...
on June 7, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
I admit my insurance is not all that great for dental and for me to get my teeth cleaned professionally can cost a bit so I've been careful how i treat my teeth.
So I decided to try this and see how it compare... It's like getting a professional cleaning! I thoroughly went through cleaning my teeth and after one cleaning, they feel fantastic and I do have that feeling like my teeth were cleaned by the dentist.
I don't know how the manufacturer did this but I am very impressed. They never felt this clean before. Rechargable is great too. Setup was a breeze. Not complicated at al. But it helps to read the documentation to understand it.
Remember.... This is NOT a substitute for seeing you dentist nor will it cure any medical issues you may have with you teeth but as I said it does a good job cleaning.

Not the best, not the worst
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
I have had my fair share of using headphones and earphones in my life. They are a MUST when working out, or going for a walk or listening to personal music. These JVC Sport Earphones look like to a degree. However I can't help but feel the quality in the way they are made has those "Just another headphone" feel to them.
The audio quality is not bad but it's not good either. There is a competition brand that while they are not sport design earphones, they have more bass in them and have good quality. These ones.... Meh...At least they fit good though! No problems going for a walk and listening to music and no need to adjust them like other brands so that is a plus!
Nonetheless though they do not sound distorted or anything else.
So while these seem nice to an extent, I don't think they are worth the current price they are asking for. Maybe half the price and you should be sold on them.

Wicked Audio and Gaming
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
Fair Warning, I was provided this unit in exchange for my *Honest* feedback.
First of all, this is my first experience with gaming and using a special headset for it, but I was ready to try as I love big audio from movies and so forth. So I opted to test this headset and see how games play. First of all the box arrive, it felt a bit weighted. The shipping weight did not lie as it was a good 5 pounds! You gotta be excited this is a quality product, right?
So I open the box and I find the headset, cables, and a guide that you can read to get it setup quick! Also included is a Mixer for audio. Need this for optimal gameplay and audio. Setup was simple, plug the mixer into your PC using the USB Cable (Make sure you are in PC Mode) and connect your Mic and audio cable. Remember to plug one end that has a longer jack into the headset and plug the other part into the mixer!
Take note of how the mixer looks and take the time to read how it works. You can choose Dolby and other audio modes. Also needed is the software from the Windows Store. This will update the firmware on your mixer. I am kind of frowning at this requirement as I don't want a Windows Store app but rather a downloadable EXE that has a Control Panel similar to what Logitech has on their peripherals.
So I proceed to put on my headset... Fits comfortable! Has a nice weighty feel to it. I like! Does not feel cheap at all. Watched some movie trailers first an really cranked up the audio.... NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE! It feels like I am watching in a movie theater, configurable audio settings let me tune the audio to my liking. Listened to some music, Awesome sound! I even tried out my Virtual DJ software on this program an was surprise by the audio quality.
Then I throw some games at it.... The audio blows me away. Everything is so nice and clear and you think you own an expensive audio system that begins with the letter B. I had previously played games and listen to the audio with speakers but you really get to hear certain pieces of audio in game you can't hear from standard speakers. Especially in Call of Duty games and other FPS style games, you don't miss any detail.
I'm very impressed by the ease of use and quick setup. Maybe took me 10 minutes total to figure out everything and I'm pretty savvy with computers and gaming for the most part. I see that they have a Call of Duty headset available. Given the quality of this headset I may pickup more headsets (for other devices) from this manufacturer as I'm very blown away by the impression this one has given me.
You won't be disappointed one bit! This is a solid product.

Simply Awesome Mouse Gaming!
on May 16, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
I am no stranger to Logitech, they have served me well for gaming in the past, with their Dual Action Controller, the Logitech F310 Gamepad for gaming, and other peripherals bought over the years.
Games are my relaxation after work, so I decided to give this a whirl! Directions are included, and to fully enjoy them you need to spend some time to read the functions and understand how the device works. Installing the software is Key- Make sure you go to the website it says. This is needed for the software to customize your mouse.
Once I took the time to read how everything works, I decided to interface it with the Power Play charging mat. If you have a Power Play charging mat like I do, you don't need the dongle inside the G502 box.
Your GHub software will provide you with an update on when it's charging and when it's not.
So I fire up a couple of games, Half Life, Doom 3, Dota , And a few others to test how smooth the gaming was. For the most part, I am impressed by the precision and accuracy of the mouse. In some games I felt that I did not get enough grab on the mouse as I feel I was moving it too fast so I played around with the weights some and got the right feel for it.
The weights are also fantastic , you really can make full use out of the mouse by finding the right balance. Something that is my first time too experiencing. You may have to Google a few videos or explanation documents to see why they matter.
It interfaces nicely with the wireless charging mat, otherwise you'll be using a USB cable to charge it. Setup was just too simple and I love that. But if you're not too much of a techie, you will be once you finish the setup of the mouse.
This product has awesome gaming goodness and will be put to good use, I promise you. Just may be hard to call me to bed or to dinner when the gaming gets intense.......

So simple to set up
on May 5, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
My husband and I love our Siri but wanted to try something else, so we set this up in our car and decided to play around with it (within the safe limits of driving that is) We were amazed at how well this works. This is our third product we now own that has a Google assistant (we own two Insignia Smart Speakers too)
I was able to charge my Android and he was able to charge his iPhone with no problem
It was just super simple. And the price is right out there in case you're looking to buy,.

Delightful treat to use!
on March 13, 2019
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from East Bay, CA
This phone is tall and skinny, perhaps that is what allowed them to make the phone a higher resolution. I've seen nothing like it. Heck it reminds me of my remote from my Sony Trinitron size wise.
Anyhow, I open up the box and I find directions, cords and the phone...
Examining the phone, I see a slot for your Sim Card, Memory Card and...... Your volume buttons. The Sim Card slot is awesome, it's tool-less which people who want to use the phone in a hurry will appreciate. I had no problem setting it up with the SIM Card in fact it's the easiest tray I've worked with thus far.
I picked my plan, Net 10 Wireless for $20 a month which gets you 1GB High Speed LTE Data (2g there after) plus unlimited talk and text........ Important to know , this phone mostly works on GSM only. So if you have a provider that has GSM, you can use it with this plan. If you plan to use it with Verizon, your account needs a setting in order to use the phone on their service. I think it is called CDMALess or something.
Anyhow, I setup the phone and I am greeted by the usual Google fanfare and items from Sony. I complete the setup and toward the end of the setup , Sony or Google offers to download additional apps I like , I just said no....... And the setup respected my choice.
Within no time at all, the phone was up and running and I am getting LTE Plus speed on my device.
Taking a look at the features, you have lots of stuff you can do with the phone, use it for GPS, Go on Facebook, listen to the FM Radio built in with a headset, tune the audio and visual qualities of the phone and so forth. Speaking of audio, the speaker is pretty loud! I was listening to iHeart Radio and it was very loud at Max setting. I like that!
The Call quality? Yes it's awesome too! Crystal clear, and the reception inside my apartment from this phone is surprisingly good considering the location I am at in the building. Oh and the phone supports 5ghz Wifi band too! Score! Our router has Wireless AC so that is good!
Phone seems very responsive usage wise, I opted for Facebook Lite and Messenger lite instead of the full apps because of better usability and ridding of other features I don't use.
The display is very nice and it is easy to see. Maybe bump up the text to see but then again nothing bad..... It does a great job keeping the display clear and somewhat repels fingerprints. I am comparing that to the last phone I owned....
You most likely will need a case for the phone. I was able to find one online from a retailer before this phone arrived which I make it a point to get the phone outfitted in a case before any purchase or obtaining of a new phone and so forth.
I can't help but think of the retail price on this phone. It seems a bit much for the features that it has. I am not sure if brand name or quality , or an unlocked status of the phone can drive price, but it seems that it could be lower..... Not a deal breaker though as this is an awesome quality phone!
Please note the review above is the opinion of my own. I was provided this phone for free in exchange for an honest review and no other company has influenced me.

Awesome add on for 32" dynex
By ValueShopperTX from Corpus Christi
Added these speakers to my 32" Dynex LCD we bought last year. Sound from TV has always bothered me. Added these on and now the Sound Matches the picture. Connected using headphone jack placed just behind TV speakers Sounds Great. And for 9.99 a steal for a great upgrade.

Non matching audio
December 28, 2013
There are several factors that are suspect when it comes to delayed audio. HD pictures have more of an issue. It could be the cable box on your tv or whatever you use to watch TV. If you change the channel, does it do it on another one? Also check the Dynex site for firmware updates to your TV as they release updates which solve problems with the TV since the original release of the unit. Its upgradeable through a port called the Service Port so check out Dynex website for more details.

Needs longer cable
By Harrier from Huntsville, AL
Would be outstanding product if the cable length were longer than the approximate 24". Does not work with a tower sitting below desk. Had to move tower onto desk. I'm guessing it was designed for use with laptop, but it was only non-wireless mouse Best Buy had. Cable length is only flaw. This cheap mouse is holding up strong to daily auto dealership sales associate abuse.

Best price for a starter Anroid smartphone
By RockyRoadIC from San Diego, CA
This is a good backup phone in case something happens to your main one. Surprising features that are included in this phone: mobile hotspot, visual voicemail, and wifi calling.
It may not be able to handle all of your apps (Candy Crush cannot run on it) but it should help tide you over until you replace your main phone.
The phone was unable to handle more than one available wifi channels. My home has two: an unrestricted one and a restricted one for the kids. When I set up both connections on the phone, the phone could not decided which one to connect to and ended up dropping my wifi connection altogether. I resolved the issue by deleting the second connection and now it works fine.
Don't expect too much from this phone especially at the price that you're getting it for and you won't be disappointed. You have two weeks to return it if you're not happy (do not peel off the plastic on the screen so you can return it).

You can game on it... Read the review
By hockeycanuckjc from Citrus Heights,CA
My Dell XPS M1530 finally stopped working and I needed a replacement laptop. Now you are thinking, I must be crazy to use this kind of laptop for gaming. But the graphics chip that's onboard is better then the Geforce 8400M GS that was on my previous laptop. In order to play games, you need to remove all the bloat on the laptop.
Here is what you will need for your laptop to game on it:
16GB Flash Drive (for creating the recovery drive)
1TB External USB 3.0 HDD
4 Port USB Hub
XBOX 360 Controller (Logitech F310 Gamepad Suggested)
Do NOT install games on the main hard drive, there is not enough space, always install to the external drive.
Additionally you will want to disable Fast Shutdown and Fast Boot, turn off system protection and disable Windows Update. That will speed things up considerably. Don't remove the HP apps or you will not be able to create a recovery drive. You can't burn DVD media anymore.
Performance Wise: I played some older games on Steam that had 3D Graphics and they ran reasonably well if you turn down the detail level in some games. You won't be able to play GTA V so don't try it.
You can't upgrade the HDD, You can't upgrade the ram. You have to install larger programs to the external HD.
Overall a great bargain for $199. Trend Micro and 1 year of Office was a bonus.

Not every game will run on it
May 31, 2015
Not every game will run on it as I said in my review. Most games will run. If you find your game will go slow, you should reduce the detail. If you don't have a good enough frame rate the game might not be meant for that graphics chip. Every person who attempts to game on it should seek out the forum of the game that they are playing and ask around. My review was based solely on experience and did not test every game out.

Screen rotation
November 13, 2015
The Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glitz also suffers from the same issue. There is no accelerometer and no screen rotation. Some apps will detect this and display the games in the right format but others that will depend on that feature will crash the phone. Not a big deal to me since the only apps I use are radio streaming apps and some games that are not dependent on that feature.

Excellent phone for the price!
By hockeycanuckjc from Citrus Heights,CA
After trying different phones, etc, I have finally found the perfect phone that did not cost too much money. This phone has 2GB internal memory and after you update all the apps you are left with about 1.1gb of memory to store apps. You can also move various apps to the SD Card and have more storage. It even has a built in FM Radio which the box does not list. You have to have a headphone set plugged in to listen to it.
Speed wise and performance wise, it has a great battery life and is very responsive on all fronts when using apps like Angry Birds and Hit it Rich Slots. Battery life is pretty impressive.
The few drawbacks to this phone is that the My Account App never displays the right balance, and to check your balance you have to dial in a code to your phone to check it. Kind of a setback. But once I restarted the phone it worked correctly. Just a hit and miss.
But for the price I paid this is a pretty awesome phone. And it was on sale the day after I bought it, so Best Buy easily applied the price match to my order to get the sale price. Enjoy this phone. I am enjoying it too.

Technically, you only need to activate it if you want to use it with a cell phone plan. The lowest plan you can subscribe to is $9.99 a month and you get 150 minutes, 150 texts and 150mb of data that rolls over from month to month if you have any left over at the end of the month.
If you plan on using it over wifi only, say to use apps or games, you don't have to activate it and it would make a killer iPod Touch alternative. You don't need an active cell plan to dial 911 either.

The beauty of this phone is that you can you can add data cards without having minutes on your phone. Not sure how much data your kid would use on the go but you can get that. And you can also add a text only card. They are $10 for 1000 text messages. A pretty good deal if you ask me.

Phone Cards?
November 29, 2015
This phone does require a service plan or a phone cards. If you're wondering how to add them, you can call their customer service department to add the card, go online or download the My Tracfone App and it has a built in mechanism that you can add a card there.

Can you get live sports like Jays and Leafs? I heard you can purchase basic tv package with it?

There are major premium networks you can subscribe to like NHL Center Ice through the official app. You will need to sign up for NHL.com and a Center Ice package in order to stream hockey games on your TV. This is subject to blackout rules just like the television games played online.

Does the Roku Express Steaming media player get 5G? I currently have Roku 2XS and it will not pick up my 5G signal (and therefore will not play my STARZ channel). I need a Roku that can access 5G wifi.

I'm not sure why you would need a 5ghz band to stream HD content for Starz. I had used the app Fandango now to stream Moana in HD and I was connected to the 2.4ghz band the whole time without lag. If you're finding constant dropouts while using the 2.4 ghz band consider changing the radio channel for your router to see if that helps.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

I want to order the Pixel to my Hotel (I'll stay in NY for a few days next week), BUT a signature is required for delivery of this item. Any idea on how can this work?

There is one way but you must sign up for the carriers online delivery account and waive your rights against the shipper to leave the item without a signature. This can be very dangerous so I would suggest that you find a friend that lives in that area and have it delivered to them.

Also if you live an an international area and not in the USA, the phone is not guaranteed to work in an international locale.

Hello, Is it sim free version? If it is not, will it be available to preorder?

A Verizon postpaid SIM is inside the box but I activated my device on Tracfone using their own SIM. The device is not carrier locked.

When you preorder the phone for retail you pay 699$. Do I also pay tax on the 699$ because than it would be over 730$. Or is the 699$ with tax?

Phones are subject to local sales tax. Your tax rate will vary depending on what are a you live in.

How long does it take to give the Dynex charger a full charge ?

About 4 hours if it's completely empty.
