This camera sets the standard for mobile/action video! The increased stability is fantastic. I can jump up and down while filming someone and the shot is almost 100% stead! The ability to live stream from the camera to nearby devices is extremely useful, and you can control the camera from your cell phone! There are so many features and so much functionality added to this model compared to the previous! Waterproof to 33 feet, they HyperVideo stabilization is unbelievable, plus voice control and up to 4K60
1080p240 video! Nothing compares to this device.

Revolutionize your cooking with this Sharp Superheated steam countertop oven. Combining the power of super-heated steam and traditional radiant heating, it crisps and browns the outside of your food while leaving the inside moist and cooked to perfection. This 1750W design requires no preheating or defrosting either. This Sharp Superheated steam countertop oven includes a broiler pan and crisper tray for easy convenience.

Let me start off by saying this is a great toaster! If you don't use it for anything else...it toasts bagels better than anything I've ever used! That being said...it's not your "normal" toaster oven. It uses a combination of heat and steam to cook food, and the result is fast and fantastic. It's a very low profile unit compared to most toaster ovens and has a bigger footprint similar to a microwave. The controls are clear and easy to use and self-explanatory. The built-in water compartment for the steam cooking is on the front and easy to access and the drip tray for the condensed steam is easy to remove and clean. I don't think we've used our main gas oven since the 1st night we opened the box and set it up. I predict it will be our main cooking utensil other than the stove top.

Fantastic with a compatible AMD video card!
on September 4, 2018
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
This is a great monitor for all uses...but when hooked up to a computer with a compatible AMD FreeSync compatible video card it's phenomenal. No ghosting...smooth playback...and fantastic color saturation. I've tried it with a compatible computer and without, and it's a great buy either way...but it really shines when used with the complimentary hardware.

Blazing fast gaming laptop or desktop replacement
on July 20, 2018
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
This unit has a great screen and keyboard and good battery life. It's Intel Optane ready but doesn't come with Optane drive included. Fast I7 processor with a 2 gb discreet video card and 8 gb of ram upgradeable to 16 gb and a 256 gb SSD. The laptop is light enough to carry in a backpack, but it's not a "lightweight" model. It's a plus from a non-gaming standpoint to find a 15" class laptop with a separate numeric keypad! And being a Dell, support is always available! This is a fantastic value for the price!

Share prints of your smartphone snaps with this compact Canon mini photo printer. It wirelessly connects to a smartphone app that lets you add frames, emojis and text to your pictures before you print them. This Canon mini photo printer uses special ink-free photo paper to produce clear, smudge-free images.

This is a thermal printer, so don't expect print quality to be on par with an ink-jet or photo kiosk printout. It's light and quick and great for quick prints for friends, lockers, etc. The paper is very versatile and has a peel-off backing to "stick" photos on lockers, mirrors, walls, etc. The paper cost works out to about $0.50 per print, but since it's a thermal printer that's all you have to purchase! It's a great product for someone that's looking for a quick way to print photos on the go!

These in-ear headphones integrate with my iPhone and android devices better than any I've used in past! The sound quality is great and the battery life far exceeds expectations! Add to the fact that they're water resistant and the neckband retains it's contour so it's not flopping around...it's a fantastic choice for anyone looking for premium sound.

You don't know what your missing!

I'd never used a "gaming" keyboard before and scoffed at them as an un-needed expense. I was wrong. This keyboard brings "gaming" and general use to a new level! I initially took it into work to see if the "noise" of a mechanical keyboard would be an issue. The "cherry" keys are quiet enough for work, yet tactile enough to make a huge difference in typing speed and quality! Then I took it home and it was fantastic for all the games I played especially when paired with the accompanying programable software!

Great soundbar replacement!
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
This speaker has fantastic sound and battery life, and is "fun". You can turn on/off lights, change the patterns, connect via Bluetooth, NFC or 2.5mm cable! The surface/cover is clothlike, yet still waterproof and washable. The controls are easy to operate from the speaker or the accompanying smartphone app! You can turn the lights on/off from the speaker, but you need the smartphone app to change the pattern or any of the sound characteristics. The battery life is great! We're actually using this as a soundbar for our main TV because the sound is so much better than the one we have which is a premium brand!

Fantastic desktop computer solution!
on March 1, 2018
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
I won’t re-hash the technical specs of the unit since Best Buy has those listed clearly. This is a great desktop computer that would rival the best gaming systems if you upgraded the power supply (currently 300W) and installed a video card! There’s plenty of room inside the case for extra hard drives and cards! This computer is very quiet, stable (so far) and was very easy to setup out of the box. It has every port you’d need and then some! If you’re a new Dropbox user you get 25gb free storage for a year. I’m a current user so I didn’t get any bonus which always confused me! Even the included keyboard and mouse are “OK”, but if you have purchased your own you’ll probably opt to use those. For those that will ask...no this doesn’t include a monitor and you won’t be able to use it without one! The un-boxing was clean and easy with minimal setup involved. AND...when you power up it gives you the CHOICE of what bloatware you want to install...if any! This is a great choice for anyone looking for a top tier consumer desktop.

1st headphones owned with a learning curve!
on December 15, 2017
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
I don't think I've ever heard used more acoustically accurate headphones! But these are the 1st headphones I've ever owned where I actually HAD to read the instructions and download the companion application to use them. They're not small but they're very comfortable. They can be used wired or wirelessly and you can turn on/off the noise canceling. You can also adjust the amount of outside noise you can hear based on where you are! They will start and stop your music based on whether they're on/off your head or if you lift them off your ear. In fact you don't even have to turn them off...they go into standby mode when you remove them and then shut down until you pick them up again! These are for the casual/occasional listener, but for someone who is serious about music they're ideal!

Did you calibrate the device?

The instructions are clear that calibration is required for accurate tracking since everyone has different length strides. Did you calibrate it? If so...how much "off" was it?

1 out of 5Not a good phone
By BAronson
I bought this phone after reading the what seemed to be amazing reviews. I was slightly disappointed after the third day of having my phone when it would reset itself about 5 times a day due to it over heating. Bearing with it i kept the phone. The phone eventually stopped over heating but with that problem going away, another arose. the camera. No matter what you take a picture of it comes out grainy and slightly blurred. I, being a photographer, was highly disappointed at this. The battery power was another concern. I am on my phone for maybe, 2 hours total a day. My phone will be at 100% at 8 AM and by 10 AM it will be on 22% without me even using it yet. I turn on battery saver and it seems to make the battery die faster. I have now had the phone for a year, the phone now, will not display the keyboard and then after it being frozen for 5 minutes will completly restart and come back on and repeat the process over again. When the phone actually remains on it will consistently bring up the "Ok google" voice activation without me saying a word. Data and storage is not good. I am supposed to have nationwide data, but don't get it ANYWHERE through t mobile and the storage on my phone is constantly full even without any pictures or apps on it. Apps crash on a daily basis and the phone is very delayed (after pressing the home button, it is usual to have to wait a half minute before anything shows up). I would NOT buy this phone. I would spring for the slightly more expensive but oh so worth it LG Stylo. I had the stylo for 3 years and had no complaints about the phone at all. Very durable and very fast.

The LG Stylo was released in May of 2015...I'm confused as to how you could have had it for 3 years.
Statements like this make your review "suspect".

Hi! I'm new to gaming laptops and was wondering how well this would run RPG games such as Elder Scrolls Online? Thanks in advance
That's a pretty lightweight game when it comes to GPU use, so it should run just fine.
