![Lost: The Complete First Season [7 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9288/9288433_sa.jpg)

If you've been holding out to start this show then this is the place to do it, and now is a great time to get caught up since the final season starts in January 2010. The show has never looked better than it does here, and I've been watching some of the reruns on the Sci-fi HD channel. You can count the number of individual hairs on the characters heads should it strike you to do so. The show in itself is great. There are some slow periods farther along in the series (mostly in mid-season 2 and early season 3) but the first season zips right along, throwing question upon question at the viewer without answering any of them. There are quite a few extras that ramp up the mystery quotient as well. Not many get answered here, and the end of season one almost guarantees that you'll want season 2 close-by to go ahead and start watching.
What's great about it: Riveting, unusual TV entertainment that looks AMAZING
What's not so great: Answers don't come easy...
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a cool movie for people that like monster movies without much plot. In a nutshell--a going-away party gets interupted by a giant monster's attack on New York City. The ENTIRE film is shot from the point of view of one of the partygoers as they try to get across town to help a friend.
Beware-the camerawork can be sickening sometimes--if you had a hard time with the Blair Witch Project or people's home movies you'll have a hard time with this. Also, there are only a couple of shots of the monster. Most of this movie they are actively trying to avoid the monster, so that affects how much it's on screen.
There's not a lot to the acting, but then again, all they really have to do is scream a lot and run. The first 20 minutes or so are used to establish who the characters are, then the last hour is all running and screaming and such.
It' s an enjoyable and different take on the Godzilla style movies but it's not for everyone.

What's great about it: Fun way to shoot a monster movie
What's not so great: acting is okay but not great

So im really trying to choose between the 17.3 inch and the 15.7 inch. I have some questions and it would be great if you can help me with choosing. 1st question: Is the 17.3 inch storage upgradable? 2nd: How much better is the max in the 15.7 inch?
With most gaming laptops upgrading the storage means replacing the drive in the system (there simply isn't room for another drive in most cases--which I believe is the case for either of these models). Your best bet is investing in a portable, external hard drive and taking it with the laptop. You can, of course, replace the drive in the system, but that can be pretty difficult since you'll need to copy a lot of the information in the current hard drive first, then transfer it all to the new drive,etc.

Control your home’s heating and cooling system remotely with this LUX Wi-Fi thermostat. The Android and iOS companion app supports geofencing, smart scheduling and personalization settings for efficiency, and compatibility with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa offers convenient voice control. This LUX Wi-Fi thermostat works with electric, gas, oil and forced-air systems for versatility.
Can the thermostat be locked via the software so unauthorized people wouldn't be able to change the settings? I couldn't find this info in the users manual.
Yes--there is a very simple setting for this in the app (and ONLY in the app as far as I can tell)

Will a standard 1/4 sheet baking pan (9.5"X13") fit in the oven?
No. There is a smaller baking pan that comes with it, but the dimensions you describe are too large.

Experience great gaming with this OMEN Obelisk desktop computer. Its NVIDIA GeForce graphics and Intel Core i7 processor are suitable for virtual reality games, and the 1TB hard drive and 256GB solid-state drive provide extensive storage and fast boot times. This OMEN Obelisk desktop computer's case opens without tools for easy expansion.
I wanted to add another 16GB ram stick. What ram stick is compatible with the current hyper x fury 16 gb stick?
Kingston Technology HyperX Fury Black 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM (HX426C16FB/16)---that is the exact match for what's in the system now. If you want to try and find a cheaper match (good luck!) then you'll want to make sure the 16gb and 2666 mhz speed match, and of course that it's DDR4 and for a desktop. Amazon currently has a single stick on sale that matches for the lowest price I've seen, but it's the same exact memory stick. There may be cheaper, more generic options available as well.

Enjoy crisp, colorful picture quality with this Full HD HP monitor. The ultrathin bezel on the 27-inch screen provides an expansive viewing area so you can stay productive, and its AMD FreeSync technology reduces input lag and screen tearing. This HP monitor has two HDMI ports for connecting gaming consoles and other devices.
Is there any way to use a speaker with this monitor?
You'd have to have the speakers connected to your computer system itself--there are no speaker outputs on the monitor.

Nest Doorbell (Wired) lets you know who’s there, so you never miss a thing. It replaces your existing wired doorbell and delivers HD video and bright, crisp images, even at night. It’s designed to show you everything at your doorstep — people head to toe or packages on the ground. And with 24/7 streaming, you can check in anytime. Or go back and look at a 3-hour snapshot history to see what happened.*
Will Google Hello do a better job in regards to lag (delay) and motion detection? I had another video doorbell (rhimes with Ding) which could not adequately connect to the wifi, terrable lag, poor motion detection (false alarms and missed live ones).
From my testing there was very little lag. There is some, of course, but it was maybe 1-2 seconds behind. The motion detection seems to be perfect. It ignores far off motion, but records anything within 10-15 feet.

Listen to your favorite tunes on the go with this rechargeable iHome IBT74BC speaker, which features a Bluetooth interface, so you can stream music from most Bluetooth-enabled devices, including select Apple®, Android and BlackBerry models.
Does this only come with a cord to charge or does it have something you can plug into the wall with?
It plugs directly into an outlet (the plug is actually pretty large, the wire itself is not).
