MacBook Air features fifth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

Once you go Mac...
on December 22, 2015
Posted by: Morriah
from Stuart, Florida
I love buying a computer that:
1. Will perform as good on the 1st day, as it will on the 2093rd (my iMac)
2. I do not need to replace/repair every year or so
3. I am not asking why it's (already) running slow
4. Syncs with all of my other Mac devices
For this, I execute no 'special' maintenance. It's Apple's commitment to performance (and style) that keeps their devices above all other manufacturers. Unlike Windows Computers (PCs), Apple does not allow 3rd Party designers access to the core/code in their operating system (OS). By losing control over the quality of 'edits' done to the OS, PCs suffer, where Macs do not.
This is only one of the reasons why my new MacBook Air runs well today, and will run great in the future!!!

Best Buy; 5 Stars - Rosetta Stone 0 Stars
on March 8, 2014
Posted by: Morriah
from Stuart, Florida
After 3 months, you will pay ever month forever.
The program teaches by telling you, you got something wrong. ((( Learn as many words in your language of choice, or you may be lost. Better yet? Find something different )))
The company DOES NOT ANSWER DIRECT QUESTIONS.
I had online chat with them and continued to ask this:
ME: Can I use it online?
Rosetta Stone: All programs come with proven resources.
Me: What resources?
Rosetta Stone: They added more resources for iDevices.
Me: What resources?
RS: All will be available to new users.
I should have asked, how much and how long will I pay to use this program we're paying $300 +/- for?
Best Buy? I received it in 3 days, everything you received from Rosetta Stone arrived at my home in perfect working order!
A surprised consumer,

Beautiful Picture / Quality Sound
on January 29, 2014
Posted by: Morriah
from Stuart, Florida
Internet Connectable?Yes
Connected to the Internet:No
This TV is incredible!
The total TV Set-Up, and picture 'Tweeking' with the TV settings, all was ready to use after
about 20-25 Mins ((( 1 Person - With 2, maybe less )))
And it looks GREAT!!!
There are a couple of things that have come up since I installed this beautiful monster, but nothing that makes
me think I should have purchase anything different!!!
I have - 0 -! ZERO!! NO REGRETS!!! : )
1st: It's NOT a SmartTV and it will not connect to the internet with a separate USB Wi-Fi Receiver.
The first question my friends ask me? Is it a SmartTV? or Is it Wi-Fi Ready?
I say 'No. It IS Wi-Fi Capable, but not Wi-Fi Ready.'
They say 'Too bad, there's so much stuff available now.'
I say 'Ya, I know! I have a SmartEC' : )
((( Smart Entertainment Center - BD Player has every App that the SmartTVs come with... and more ))).
I didn't need to layout an additional $300-$500 ...for duplicate Apps. Instead, I purchased a $250 Extended Warranty.
2nd: Footprint is bigger than most ((( The included TV Stand: Approx. 33" Wide x 15" Deep)
The TV Stand/Base works GREAT!!! I more confidence in the 'X-Shape 4-Leg Stand' then most of the smaller base stands. However, the only problem I see for the near future will be setting a SoundBar below the TV
((( More realistically: Setting this TV on TOP of a SoundBar )))
Once I hang the TV, this will not be a problem. But if this is important to you, than I hope this helps. I could find nothing that stated this until I opened the box ((( The In-Store Display was Wall-Mounted )))
3rd: More 'Old School' RCA I/Os
I have a 1 year old VHS=>DVD Burner that does not have HDMI.
I'm sure there are people that no longer need or use RCA Cables with their devices. But still, if you exclude RCA, you're given only a maximum of 2 HDMI connections? And lets say you still have an old VHS player ((( or DVD Burner like me : D ))) the listed TWO (2) RCA connections, can not be use at the same time. This means that, from the TV, an RCA connection will work in one direction ONLY. And it all things can be worked out ((( maybe with an extra cable converter or by 'Daisy Chaining' external devices... but why? Add 3 more Inputs to the Board might cost Samsung about $5-$10. But again, this really is not that important.
You're given 5 RCA inputs
1 - Audio Left
1 - Audio Right
1 - Yellow / Video
1 - Cyan
1 - Magenta
So, if you use the 5 Cable Composite Video, you are ALSO using the 'Alternative' Left/Right/Video input. The Yellow Composite input doubles as a combined, single cable Video input. And only 1 Audio Left and 1 Audio Right inputs exist.
The image IS outstanding!
The Remote is Basic and leaves no need to wish for another. ((( Samsung made it possible for other Smart Remotes to operate the TV with an easy to find Pairing Code. I use a basic Digital Cable Remote )))
The TV is a GREAT DEAL ((( Thanks Samsung and BBY )))
I hope this helps someone out there!!!
Enjoy and thanks for reading!!

I wish I knew why (?)
on November 30, 2013
Posted by: Morriah
With a decent learning method, dealing with this company has been horrible. Tho I gotta say this: If I would have purchased it w/o ever speaking with someone at Rosetta Stone (RS), I would never have witnessed their EMPLOYEES avoiding the truth, when answering 4 or 5 different questions ((( that I have saved, from an online chat before I purchased this from Best Buy ))) ...and the software is not that bad, so why hide simple truths (?)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got a GREAT label printer from Brother (P-Touch), easy to use until I try to separate the 'Printed' part of the label, from the Backing. Not even my GF could separate the two ...and she has finger nails. Took a few day to figure out a trick to separate these a little quicker
What's great about it: Clear Print-Out, Good length of tape, easy to read
What's not so great: Seperating Printout from Backing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Expert
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Multimedia (music, movies, photos)
Its the Perfect device if you have a PC crash and you don't want to replace it w/ another Desktop. I had an old 12y/o DAW (Music PC) that needed to be upgraded and, instead of going back to a Windows Desktop, I switched to Apple for superior performance (and was considering a Laptop i/o the iMac anyway). I had a 1TB HDD in the old Desktop and didn't wanna burn a ton of DVDs, take the time to transfer via Flash Drive or spend $100 more on an Ext. HDD. So, I got this Enclosure Kit, Transfered everything in less than a 1/2 hour and I now have a 1TB Ext. HDD. Beautiful!
What's great about it: Fast Data Transfer, Price, Housing, Can be used as External HDD
What's not so great: Enclosing Drive

Happy with first Apple computer
By BrianL
I have used Microsoft/Windows-based computers since the first PC using DOS. Sp the change to a Mac has taken 30 years. While the change in operating systems was a little frustrating at first, I have acclimated and am very pleased. The computer has a nice keyboard (my first backlit keyboard0, the display is very nice, the programs are responsive and startup is very fast compared to my Windows experience, plus the MacBook is light and compact. I have found that many USB devices I used with other computers work well with the Mac -- I use a USB SD card reader (the Mac has no SD slot), am typing this using a USB to ethernet adapter (my wifi works great too, just testing the adapter today), bought a 1 TB external USB HDD that I use for backups (using a third party backup-disk image software) and storage. I have several programs that I use on the Mac that I used on Windows, such as Photoshop Elements and LibreOffice. Setting up my HP printer took a little effort as I muddled until I downloaded installation software from HP. So although I expected more pain in moving to the Mac, it has been worth the effort. Over the last 30 days I rarely use my Windows laptop.

This TV automatically adjusts the screen brightness to the level of light in the room, so you get the best picture possible, no matter the time of day.
 

What are the differences between the PN60F5500AFXZA and PN60F5300AFXZA ?

Looking to purchase a 60" very soon.
The PN60F5500AFXZA ((( the 5500 )))
is Wi-Fi Ready and 3D Capable

The PN60F5300AFXZA ((( the 5300 )))
is not.

The 5500 has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 shared RCA ((( 5 Cable Composite OR 3 Cable combined )))
The 5300 has 2 HDMI and 1 shared RCA

I used the Compare feature on BBY's WebSite and paste the URL below ((( But I'm not confident it will post with this message )))
If it does, you can see how the Picture Quality is very close to Identical

I recently purchased the 5300 i/o the 5500 because any of the Wi-Fi Ready Features/Programs were already available on my Blu-ray Player.
So I saved the $350 when I purchase the 5300 on 27-Dec 2013 ((( and spent $250 on the BBY Geek Squad 5-Year Extended warranty )))

The picture is outstanding ((( on both )))

I hope this helps!!!
