The best tablet hands down.

Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
I'd first like to say that I am no apple fanboy. I own a maxed out Alienware M18x with 2960XM and 580M SLI. When it comes to tablets no one offers the same level of quality, GPU power, apps, seriously smooth UI, design, retina display(2048x1536), 4G LTE, dictation, customer service and ecosystem that apple provides for the new iPad. I currently own a Black 64GB 4G LTE AT&T model for 4th gen resale purposes, but only needed the 32GB model. EVERYTHING works so well together. I've owned a GT 10.1, TF201, OG Transformer, A100, iPad, iPad 2, Sony Tablet S, Kindle Fire and a Xoom. Nothing comes close to the new iPad or even an iPad 2. If you are into games then you'll feel right at home with iTunes awesome selection of games and the new iPad's quad core GPU. For business productivity, Apple also has the best selection of apps. Some android users will say that iOS is locked down. I'd rather have a locked down fully functional OS, than a laggy, buggy OS. If you are in the market for the best tablet look no further. Get an iPad!!
What's great about it: Everything.
What's not so great: Nothing.

This case is AWESOME!!

Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
This case is perfect. The materials are very will done. The Microfiberish inner materials are lint resistant. The case retains the iPad's thin form factor. The on & off/open & close feature works everytime with this case. There's also a spot for a stylus. I also bought a Targus 3 in 1 stylus with laser pointer and pen to compliment the case/experience/convience. Then entire case looks very professional. Go get this case!!
What's great about it: Nice materials, Magnet on & off, Looks good, retains iPad's slim form factor
What's not so great: It wasn't free ;P

This mouse is sick!!!
on July 27, 2011
Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
I'd first like to state that I am no stranger to gaming mice. My past gaming mice include the Razer Mamba, Razer Orochi, Logitech G9X and Logitech G500. I have also bought & returned a RAT 7 all in the same day.
What makes this mice so awesome is it's 12 side macro keys, it's wireless/wired functionality , it's multi colour ability, changeable grips, left & right click buttons tactile feedback and use of high quality materials. The software has also ben revised and uses less ram than the Mamba's and is quick to execute.
This mouse can also be mapped to control a mac/windows media player. I use this mouse with my Alienware M18x.
The problem with the Mamba is that the Mamba randomly hangs and has wonky software at best.
The Naga EPIC also has a cool colour cycling mode.
I highly recommend this mouse.

This game suffers from consolitis!!
on April 14, 2011
Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
The story & gameplay is decent with DX9.
Where this game fails is the lack of multi-gpu support, console graphics settings(Gamer, Advanced & Extreme) & no DX11 support. For some of us Crossfire/SLI users this game is completely unplayable unless we disable Crossfire/SLI....lame.
What's great about it: Nothing....it's mediocore
What's not so great: Too many things to count!!

#1 3D Blu-ray Demo Material!!!
on January 15, 2011
Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
The Plot of this movie was alright. Not something to write home about. The choreography was AMAZING. Some of the moves pop out of the screen. The depth in this movie puts everything else to shame. It really is something special.
What's great about it: 3D Effects!!!
What's not so great: Plot was kind of weak.

The 3D in this movie is awful!!!
on December 30, 2010
Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
I am a big fan of the Resident Evil Franchise. The 2 reviewers before myself were dead on about the 3D. I also heard that it was awesome in 3D. I was so excited to purchase this. As soon as I got home I had my family watch it with me. WHAT A LET DOWN!!! This is almost as bad as The Last Airbender 3D. I even saw crosstalk at certain points....lame.
Do yourself a favor and get Step Up 3D Bluray.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Non-Existent 3D, story almost as bad as RE:Extinction

I am a big fan of the Step Franchise. I actually liked Step Up 2 more than this one. I don't know why.....I think the story was ok.
**Spoiler Alert**
I find it hard to believe that if Luke was good friends with Julien then he would know that he has a hot sister(Natalie) in London.

What makes this movie so special is the 3D. There is SOOOOOOOOO much depth that it totally makes this movie immersive. It even beats the incredible Dispicable Me as far as depth goes and Resident Evil:Afterlife. It also has some REALLY good POP OUT effects through out the film. It is truly amazing!!!

Equip your home theater system with rich, immersive bass using this powered subwoofer that features a 10" Klippel optimized Dynamic Balance composite woofer and compression circuitry for smooth, low-distortion bass tone.

I'm not going to tell you how AWESOME this badboy is because I believe the other reviewers did a good job covering the Pros & Cons.
Recently I purchased a Samsung 3D Blu-ray HTIB. Unfortunately the included sub underperformed in music playback. I've tried so many other alternatives like Bose, Yamaha, Klipsch, JBL and a few others.
This speakers blows them all away hands down in the 500.00 price range.
I also bought a 4 year Black Tie Protection Plan for 24.99, all for a grand total of 149.99.

3D in this movie is lame!!!
on November 17, 2010
Posted by: skygunner27
from Anchorage, AK
I'd first like to say that I enjoyed this movie's story regardless of the 3D Blu-ray.
I wish that I would have listened to the reviewer before me:(
The ONLY thing 3D about this movie is the AWESOME Paramount 3D intro that literally pops out of the screen. It is truly amazing.
During the film the only 3D that they implemented was depth during close ups. The magic elements were all done in 2D. Lame.
There are no exrtas on this disc.
If I choose to watch this 3D Blu-ray again in my home I'd watch it in 2D.
What is so messed up is that my 240Hz 3D LED TV does a better job upconverting this film from 2D to 3D than this movies native 3D.

What's great about it: For some it is a good movie, I'm anticipating the sequel.

4 out of 5Good Tablet, BUT
By sellinrain
from Birmingham, AL
Like many other reviewers, I am happy with my tablet. I will not wax on about hot great the AMOLED screen looks or how thin and lightweight it is. There is nothing wrong with the product. What I find impossible to understand is how Best Buy has an "exclusive" product from Samsung that is not capable of being registered on the Samsung web site because they do not acknowledge the part number exists. They only show the 16GB models sold in other places. Considering that you have to register the tablet to get some of the free goodies that have been so aggressively marketed to the public as incentive to purchase the product, this is a completely unacceptable situation. So in a way, I have been penalized by purchasing this product from BestBuy instead of rewarded.

2 out of 5Great product, but not perfect...
By XUTMC
from Boston MA
So this is a nice toy to have, easy to setup and fun to fly for the first 20/30 mins.
So this "black" version is a "BEST BUY ONLY" - when I tried to price match the same one (just different color) it was quickly shot down by a manager who said it's only sold by Best Buy and you won't find it else where- (Model number ended in BBY) there is NO difference between the BEST BUY (black) AND AND STANDARD WHITE VERSION!! Nothin extra nothing fancy
The camera is beautiful, I was able to record and do some live feeds on facebook with mines and it was true 4K. It does work better during the day than it does when the sun is falling. the sensors that prevent a crash are. It working because of low light.
What I did notice was that one of the motors kept failing while in the air and causing this aircraft to return back home. I would still have about 20/30% left of battery and it would still fail- I contacted DJI and just recommended to return it as it was. Sad to to say after having the unit for 48-hours, not worth 1200 +tax if it doesn't work properly lol
What I am going to do is return this and just wait a couple more weeks for the Mavic pro to be back in stock- seeing it seems to be the newest model and about $300 cheaper-
Look into that before dishing out the $1200- sounds like it's worth the wait...

They also made me pay the 200.00 difference to switch my week old P4 for the black version. The good thing is that it went on sale the next day for 1100 after I bought it. Saving me $100. Currently it is still on sale for $1100. Go do your $100 price match.

Enjoy fast-paced action with Super Bomberman R for the Nintendo Switch. Race around new and exciting levels while destroying enemies and the obstacles in your path. You can play against the computer or a human opponent in Super Bomberman R to see who can maneuver through the mazes and remain the last one standing.

I don't feel like breaking down the mechanics of this game because others here have already done that...so I'll just type on the basics.
I have been playing Bomberman and Zelda since the NES days. I have always enjoyed Bomberman, especially on the GameCube. This game is a must have if you have 2 or more players! There is a story mode with bosses where you can play 2 player co-op and there is a battle mode where up to four players can go at it. If you don't have 4 players you can add a NPC to keep things frantic. I am a huge Zelda fan too, but this game is what I preordered the Switch for. While in line, I asked others what games are they buying and a lot of people said Bomberman R! Do yourself a favor and get this game now!!!! Thank You Hudson Soft and Konami for releasing this game!!!!!!

Why can't you register this product on the Samsung web site?
As other reviewers have pointed out, Samsung refuses to recognize the part number for this tablet to allow you to properly register it. So there are some free things that other Samsung customers who purchased their 16GB products elsewhere are enjoying that Best Buy customers aren't getting. I don't understand how 2 companies this large could overlook such an obvious detail.
There is an issue with our exclusive model from bestbuy not generating an email after registration and opening Galaxy Apps. I have spent over 2 days over the phone with Samsung support. They have managed to send everything except the Google Play credit. The Google Play credit is the only thing I care about.

Will their be any upgrades or changes to the blue lable laptop line anytime in the near future.
Most likely. Bestbuy usually changes the line up every 6 months. You'll probably see changes around Black Friday.

Best gaming laptop for a high schooler? (under 600 dollars)
I use my laptop alot, whether its school or free time. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end... My current laptop is simply too slow to run current games so....I NEED A NEW ONE. Good processor speed (2.0 ghz dual core at least) graphics and battery life (at least 4 hours) are my main specifications, but a good webcam would be nice too.
PS: Numerical keyboard would be nice for school :)
