One in two....typical refurbished these days

Bought two of these, both looked great, couldn't tell they had been used.
After calling Nest customer service (who were very friendly), realized one was defective. Now Bb is sold out so not sure what to do now. I should have bought three, knowing that statically at least 30% of products ordered as refurbished / geek squad certified, would arrive defective (based on personal purchase history). Ughh, b and h here I come...

Best misfit holder so far, wish this thing came with the flash instead of the other one they include.

Great concept, and the easiest coding for remotes I've ever seen but very finicky, had to be pointed in one perfect direction for all pistons to fire

pretty good, just needs some integration

This is actually a decent smart plug for the price (on sale 20.00)...I've used ihome, idevices, edimax, belkin, and tplink and the last two had issues with my airport extreme. The first two were nice but overpriced. The Edimax and this model seem very similar. Though the setup/app on the Insignia smart plug is much easier and user friendly.

This is a nice screen cover, as far as fit and finish go, but what kills it for me is the color. I know it is supposed to help your eyes but I wish it were clear.

I like the lighted keypad, it's comfortable but the magnet is not strong enough...a few times my ipad has almost dropped off backwards while typing. Most likely not keeping this one.

this was the first time I paid full price for a laptop case and it was worth it. Solid, comfortable, maybe not the best looking but makes up for it in every other way

This Sony TV sound system with built-in subwoofer provides an enriched-sound experience with an all-in-one sound box design. Bluetooth and NFC connectivity let you stream effortlessly to watch movies, TV shows and to play games. Play music from your phone or tablet on your TV with this Sony TV sound system.
Can you add rear speakers to this system? Thanks.
Yes, the small multi-colored H.ear Go are easily added. I think the xr7 would also work but they do not have a battery so placement can be limiting.

With a 250GB capacity, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250B internal Serial ATA hard drive provides plenty of space for your digital media. TurboWrite technology delivers rapid read and write speeds for efficient performance.
works with mac books?
Does this work with in a MacBook Pro mid-2012?
it works, but not as fast as in a PC. Now, I found if you can get another SSD (any type, and you can even borrow one as you will only need it for about an hour) and use one of the HD clone programs (CC Cloner, etc.), the magic seems to be to clone your old HD to another SSD, thennnn, clone that SSD to your new (or whichever is the better SSD of the two) SSD, and then you can really see the SSD working in the IOS environment.

Is there proprietary software with this drive? My normal hard drive crashed, took all the software with it, now I have a SSD EVO850 250GB model MZ-74E250B, installed with no software.,
I'm not sure about your question but I'll give it a try...it does come with Samsung Magician and Data Migration (which works only you are transferring your old drive to a new Samsung ssd)...but it will only copy from a functioning hard drive (I think). You might have to try one of the partition programs which claim to be able to rescue data that has been erased and/or damaged). They have never worked for me so try out the freeware titles before spending your money on anything.

Enjoy flexible entertainment with this Samsung Notebook 7 Spin laptop. Its 360-degree rotating monitor converts into a tablet for touch-screen browsing or a tent or display for hands-free viewing. This fast-charging 13-inch Notebook 7 Spin laptop powers up as quickly as 20 minutes to add two hours of battery life for playing another HD movie.
Does anyone know if this laptop would be ideal for a 7th grader? She would mostly use this for research, homework and coding (for robotics class).
if you get one that is new (not an open-box), I think it would be a great fit. They are solid and the extra Samsung features would be great to enhance learning.
