Hue is where its at

This light set is a great introduction to variable color and easy to control lights. When paired with Alexa it is great to use. There really are not very many limitations and the standard set up for even novice users is short. It probably takes less than 30minutes to install and set up both Alexa and Hue set in a standard internet ready home.

Not a bad buy overall.

It has been a while since I have used a Microsoft-based computer. I have used Dell computers in the past and have never had an issue. This laptop has a lot of things going for it. The computer itself is very lightweight and the processor is good for minimal use. Definitely not a high-tech computer but it gets the job done.

Great device for away from home tv watching

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Slingbox is a really great device. It allows you to replicate essentially and your TV is by streaming into a device. If you use your phone or tablet it works perfectly. I also use it to stream to my Roku TV which works flawlessly. Donely downfall is that changing the channel does take a bit of patience. Of course since it is a stream it is not a direct channel change and takes about five seconds to load and D buff. Overall the streams work great as long as your Internet connection is good but that is obvious. The overall device is an excellent purchase. I highly recommend this device.

Best things since sliced bread

I think that the Phillips hue set is honestly one of the neatest things there is around. Yes I do know that it does cost quite a bit to jumpstart your lighting for the house. That said however when paired with Alexa a.k.a. the Amazon echo it really makes your house lighting a whole New World. The ability to change the colors and turn the lights on and off at the voice command makes this set well Worth buying

If you really want to have a good read on something digital this is the item you're looking for. It really is lightweight and highly functional. The battery lasts a long time and the screen is easy on the eyes. The only difficulty sometimes is reading in extremely bright environments. Overall an excellent buy.

Great review of an old classic

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is pretty good overall. The updated graphics and gameplay are well worth a try if you have never played the series. The multiplayer is lacking if you ask me but can be fun to at least try. Overall I think the game is good but won't be something you will play through more than once.

Great for so many reasons

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is great. At first there might be some pairing to the wifi issues but after it is set up it is great. You can literally use your phone to turn on and off whatever is plugged into the outlet. Recently acquired I also paired it with my Amazon Echo and it's now even better as I can remote voice or phone control. The only downside is that sometimes it "crowds" the socket plug making it hard to plug in other things directly into the socket.

A classic game and an updated version

Overall it has a lot of the classic "Borderlands" game play and story line. The new content and the mild changes to the weapons and grinding (literally they have a weapon grinder) makes this new addition favorable just as much as the ones before it.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.
 

Is it hard to set her uo

Depends on if you have an internet wireless connection and are handy with most tech items. Also depends on how indepth you want to use the Echo. Honest set up includes plugging it in; downloading an app and having a good wireless connection. All in about 10 minutes or less

Will one echo work for an entire house or do you need multiple ones to have one in each room

Honestly it depends on how large the house is, how loud you speak and what you are using the Echo for. If you have a two story house and put the Echo in a specific room then it will for sure not work. That said with the new DOT availability I would say you could just pick up some of them to buffer the Echo distance.

Amazon Fire TV Stick connects to your TV's HDMI port. Just grab and go to enjoy Netflix, Prime Instant Video, Hulu Plus, YouTube.com, music, and much more.
 

Can you buy the fire tv stick in the store or only online

I've seen you can purchase both online and in-store. This was about 1 month ago I noticed this so it should be the same now.
