OK unit, Netflix rebate makes it dirt cheap

I keep meaning to sell mine as its not even close to the level of functionality I expect. The Netflix discount sold me on trying it out and if I can sell it, then it was definitely worth it. Video is ok, I don't like wifi, make sure your network can deliver it and your tv has CEC so its not always on (it gets hot). When I bought this, the additional functionality wasn't added so perhaps I'm a little biased.

Fairly soon this screen will feel dated, but when I first bought this a year ago for a deal only found at Best Buy, I wasn't sure how much I would like an All-in-One. While not by any means a portable, this monster screen can easily be handled by someone my size and moved with very little effort and for this I am very thankful as it has been moved many times in the past year. Since I bought the stock model, I do regret not having the flash accompaniment to the 1 TB drive (its called fusion and with the PCIe SSD its lighting fast!). This option hopefully will be available from a third party in the coming months, but in the meantime I have a regular SATA SSD in a thunderbolt caddy as I refuse to work on a spinning drive for my OS. With 2 Thunderbolt ports, I am able to work with an additional screen and my SSD drive or add a super fast SSD RAID for HD video editing. The true power of this whisper quiet machine is felt when rendering a half hour HD movie in 20 minutes. And for those looking to differentiate between the cheaper 21 inch model, this memory is easily upgradeable (I went to 24 GB for an additional $80). I never liked AIO due to the likelihood of cooking your hardware, but this model with Intel's Haswell chip has made me a believer.

Enjoyable but lacking any resemblence to reality

I know Hollywood has lost touch with reality, hence the emphasis on Comic sagas which I do appreciate, but this leakage is seeping into every other movie made stripping most movies of any additional impact. If you like the actresses, its enjoyable but don't expect much else.

I used to love when these two combined comedic forces. Some of that old magic was still there, but there was a lot of gratuitousness and a lot fewer laughs then past movies.

Solid router, perfect for both Mac/PC homes
on September 26, 2014
Posted by: JPCain
from Maplewood, NJ
Buying a router in 2014 means spending the additional money to future proof by getting a wireless AC capable router. This one does the trick for anyone who wants an easy to configure, highly stable router. The cost is a little more but the stability is par none. My main complaint and why I docked this a star (ended up reselling it) was the lack of detailed information the router displays through the AirPort Utility in OSX. I'm much happier with my AC66U for that very reason.

Great image stabilization, perfect handy cam
on September 26, 2014
Posted by: JPCain
from Maplewood, NJ
I bought this mainly for recording my bike rides, but have used this all around the house and on trips to capture important but too brief moments with an incredibly powerful camera in a tiny package. The thing that really separates this cam from other action cameras is the image stabilization. Additionally, this camera is waterproof without additional housing (although the IO port cover eventually will strip off which caused me to lose mine on a bump.) For this price you cannot beat the value of this package. This version has much better recording capability than the wifi model so make sure if you settle on this brand to go with this version and get a super fast microSD.

The highly advanced iPhone 5s features the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, a new 8MP iSight camera, a new FaceTime HD camera, ultrafast LTE wireless, iOS 7, and iCloud. Yet it's as thin and light as ever.

Definitely worth the upgrade from a iPhone 4S

Age:25-34
Phone size:Just right
Verified Purchase:Yes
Clearly if you are not interested in Apple products, there is no need to read this review. For those new to the world of smart phones or contemplating the upgrade from a 4S or below, I can highly recommend this phone. The first thing I can recommend is for the speed alone. The wifi signal in our bedroom was always better on my wife's iPhone 5 than my old 4S so I was ready for the switch. I also wanted to go to a larger storage size (I would have gotten the 64GB if they had it on launch).
I was impressed by Apple's presentation of the phone but the camera has to be seen to be believed. The pictures are incredibly life-like when compared to my wife's iPhone 5 and for once I find myself wanting to use the flash on a phone. The dual LED flash allows for real photo reproduction of skin tones and the rapid shot mode allows to account for my 1 year old's constant movements.

In addition to the greatly improved camera, the faster chip blows away even my ipad 4th gen in regular tasks, and the Touch ID sensor makes life a lot simpler especially when busy on the move. All around the internal improvements to the phone are considerable over the iPhone 5.
In summary, I was on the fence with getting a discontinued iPhone 5, or the 5c but was swayed enough by early reviews and my patient waiting for the release to spend the extra money on the 5s iPhone and I am really happy that I did. I will be able to take incredible picture of my children for years to come which is what matters to me at the end of the day and along with that I get a great device with the bevy of apps and integration in the Apple ecosystem.
What's great about it: The camera makes the phone. Its that good.
What's not so great: I am not seeing the improved battery life I was expecting

Do you have for sale the surf edition or only the standard?
I only saw Standard on sale at every Best Buy I went to but they do sell the floaty. Not sure if there is a difference with 4 Black. Some of the accessories are different for 3+ and 4.
