Good, but not great, yet!

from Herky, MO
I received this as a beta tester, for my honest review.
Alot of room for improvements and updates. Only works on 1 google account for now, not yet family ready.
Cant yet send texts or make calls, I like the idea. Better than Amazon assistant, but need alot of tweaking.

Great router so far... Hard to beat.
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: Todd
Ive only been using this router for a mere 6 hours, and I absolutly love it!
Setup is very eazy, and straight forward. The built in 8 port switch is a Huge Plus, imo...
Its 5.0GHz wifi coverage is so strong, and spreads accross my entire home. Where as the router I was using untill today, had great coverage accross 75% of my home.
I really like the Linksys Smart WiFi App, it just needs built in VPN like my other router.
My only Con to this router, is its SIZE! Its fricking HUGE! I wish Linksys included a stand so it could sit Vertically, as its a Beast laid flat...

Great Phone, with excellent camera...

Coming from a Note 3, this Note 5 is soo much faster at everything it does... From taking crystal clear 4k pictures, to multitasking, and beyond.
Calls are clear, multiple themes, improved spen features. Fingerprint scanner, and heartrat monitor are new to me and nice. Also, not having to wait on Otter box to have a Defender seriescase availible atlaunch was nice! Took almost 2 months, when the Note 3 was launched!
The only negative of the Note 5 is not having a micro sd card slot!

Great reciever for the money!
on February 3, 2015
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
The only thing this reciever lacks in my opinion is Hd Radio, which isnt a deal breaker! Built in wifi, multi zone, and so on! If looking for a reciever for under 700.00 this Yamaha is a no brainer! Pandora, usb drive, and ipod touch sound great on this reciever...
Im using it to power 7.2 in my theater, and a 2nd Zone of stereo speakers outside! The Yamaha controll App is amazing as well!

PS4 Desitny Bundle White is great!

Glad Sony made a White PS4, as black just seems boring to me! The Destiny game is fun to play! Wish Sony included a 2nd remote, but not a biggie Best Buy has tons of them.
Subtracted a star because the PS4's case is still kinda Blah, needs some chrome or more customazation....

Age:35-44
Phone size:Large
Had this phone a week, and still have a lot of features to learn! I love the big screen coming from a Galaxy S2, and the 2 day battery life. Never had better than 14 hours with the S2! This phone has soo many great features and I'm still learning how to use the S Pen! Debating on getting the matching Samsung Watch!
What's great about it: Large screen, great battery life
What's not so great: A tad big

Good Budget gaming PC
By Paul
Bestbuy really doesn't give much info on the exact internals so here they are. The motherboard is a gigabyte z170-hd3p, the ram is Adata brand 2133mhz 2x4gb, cpu i5 6600k, stock Intel cpu cooler, toshiba 2tb hdd, lg dvd drive, gpu is the amd r7 250, and it's all powered by a generic 400w power supply. Overall a good budget pc that will run games on low to medium settings. If want high to ultra settings I suggest upgrading the power supply to atleast 500w and the r7 250 to a nvidia gtx 970. Since the motherboard is a z board you have the ability to overclock the cpu. (Very easy within the BIOS).

GoodCoverage
By HeadZeppelin
This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.
You will be impessed by it's looks and the coverage you get from it, If you invest in one I'm sure you won' be disappointed

Absolutly amazing
By BoomBox
this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
