I bought this for my girlfriend who was totally a windows babe all her life. Her previous machine was a lummox of an HP laptop. We're talking weight-lifting exercises just to carry the thing around. No more! Now she's all smiles!
What can I say here except that the MacBook Air is generally acknowledged by reviewers to be one of the best general duty laptops for most folks. You can read an excellent review on the website: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-laptop/ If, however, you are a gamer, or an industry mogul, you probably should look elsewhere, but for normal duty use, this is the fun machine to beat, at least if you are part of the Apple-sphere. Best Buy's price on this item was just too good to pass up!

Not Sure on this one . . .

I have not installed this software on any of my Macs after reading so many negative reviews on the web. It seems the problem is not with the installation of the software but with trying to remove it once you decide you don't like it or that it causes problems. Not willing to take a chance with my new toys. So I can't really comment on the effectiveness of the product.

It does what it's supposed to do. I bought it mainly as a port to copy CDs to my hard drive. The only reason for not giving it the 5th star is that it does not support Blu-ray disks. I can't figure out exactly why Apple is so reluctant to incorporate the Blu-ray format into their machines. If there is an upside, however, it's that the SuperDrive is still way less expensive than any of the 3rd party Blu-ray drives and software that would enable a Mac to play the format.

Unbelievable detail.On an unbelievable scale. The all-new Retina 5K display has 14.7 million pixels - four times as many as the standard 27-inch iMac. So photographs look amazing, maps come alive, and text is incredibly sharp.Stunning ultrathin design.iMac with Retina 5K display is filled with the latest high-performance technologies, yet it's still just 5mm thin at its edge.

The 'ol Mare, Ain't What She Used to Be

I had a 2009 iMac that was still a nice machine but getting a little slow on the draw. Also noticed that when Apple released its Yosemite OS, the obsolescence hatchet fell on the 2009 MacBooks, so could my iMac be far behind? Time to upgrade!
What can I say except, "Me lovin' dem Apples!" This is big number 8 for me. The Best Buy price can't be beat. Don't know how they sell BELOW Apple, but they do.

This truly is a work of fiction and bad fiction at that! Having been a music teacher for 35 years, I can tell you that NO ONE that I have ever known teaches like this. The model portrayed by J. K. Simmons of the "autocratic" teacher-bully died ages ago. In fact, this guy would (and should) have been arrested for the tactics he pulled. I was so disturbed by it all that I had to keep reminding myself that it was just a movie. How this piece of shlock garnered such high ratings is a mystery to me. OK, I'll grant you that the acting is very good and the sound track certainly acceptable, but the basic premise of the movie is just nuts. What this movie might serve to demonstrate is how NOT to teach anybody anything especially the ennobling art of music! In fact, If I were a young music student and saw this movie, I would be packing my bags for a different career or, at least, a different teacher / mentor.

Nice Improvement

After upgrading all of my HDMI cables to AudioQuest Cinnamon, I thought I'd experiment a bit to see if I could detect any audible or visual differences in switching to their Cinnamon Ethernet cables. In my system, the components that HAVE been upgraded return both better picture and sound quality compared to the standard RJE cables supplied by Verizon. Better sound quality is most noticeable from my Oppo Blu-ray player when streaming Pandora and Spotify even though these services only broadcast in low-level mp3 format. More pronounced, however, is the improvement in both audio and video quality of my Apple TV. The only cable left to upgrade is the 3 meter RJE that feeds my Panasonic Plasma. Unfortunately it's in the wall behind the TV so I may need to dismount the TV to replace it. As always, your mileage may vary but I would give both the AudioQuest HDMI and RJE cables a try particularly if you want to extract that last bit of quality from your existing components.

Good Entry Level Printer
on January 6, 2015

from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had a Canon MX860 for about 6 years before it barfed up the famous Canon Printer Head error code. I'm now retired and do minimal printing but I wanted to stay with Canon, so I was looking for a cheap solution and I found it. Set-up was pretty much a breeze including the wireless part. One caveat, however, is that the LCD display has no back lighting, so bring a flashlight! Also, when entering your WiFi passcode, you have to use the * Key above the word "Tone" on the keypad to change from numbers to either upper or lower case letters.
Output is crisp and clean with good color saturation. I don't print photos, so I can't comment on that. However, faxing is both fast and accurate.
One nice feature of this printer is that it can be set to print in black-only mode when the color cartridge is empty.

Audioquest Quality in bulk
on May 3, 2014
Posted by: HomeTheaterGuy
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The original wire (16/4 AWG) that was installed in my home theater room for the rear speakers was IMHO pretty marginal. There were two problems with the originals: 1) they were not of a heavy enough gauge to do the job given the long runs (50' per speaker); and 2) the wire itself was not very high quality. Audioquest has always had a reputation for making quality products and is perhaps the oldest high-end cable company in business. When I found these wires on a BB clearance they were perfect. Please don't kid yourself, quality wires do make a HUGE difference in how speakers sound. And when you have long runs involved, the quality of the wire becomes even more important. In my system, the change was quite dramatic. Not only was there more sound but the quality of the sound was simply better. This wire really opened up the sound of my speakers. The rear surround channels finally had the juice to keep up with the fronts and center. I couldn't be more pleased.

Enjoy quality sound reproduction with this AudioQuest Black Lab BLAB02 subwoofer cable that utilizes solid long-grain copper conductors to ensure clear, crisp signal transmission with reduced distortion.
What's the difference between an In-Wall Subwoofer cable and a regular cable?
It's my understanding that in-wall cables are designed to 1) meet building code requirements and 2) to have a "slippery" jacket covering to allow installers to more easily pull wire through wall openings.

can you get these headphones that work with a vizo blue tooth tv. so that all in the room can still hear the tv?
Sorry, the Sennheiser 558's are not Bluetooth capable. But a quick Google search will provide you with many brands and models that are. Good luck!
