Only Buy on Clearance
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I found this on clearance for $29. Was it worth it? Maybe.
Pro: Color. Bumper Protection.
Con: Very Bulky (you lose the sleek feel of the Apple Watch). The silicone band is very wide and thick. It doesn't fit as well as the Apple Watch band. It is easy to switch back to original band but does take a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of time.
Overall : Would I buy it again? No. Am I going to return it? No. Would I have paid full price for it? No. It looks cool and does add a measure of protection to the watch, so I'll keep it in rotation and probably wear it in Spring/Summer when I'm more active outside.

Bought to Replace PS4 Hard Disk

I bought this to replace the stock PS4 hard drive. This puppy works great! Load time is faster now. Provided you downloaded the correct file from Playstation (I clicked the wrong link at first) you can have your PS4 running this bad boy in 30 minutes.

Great Except for Windows
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pro: Great Display. Good Size. Fun to draw on. Stylist works great. Easily recognizes the difference in hand versus stylist so you can write with your wrist on the screen. Can accept USB and Micro SD. Great sound from speakers. Stand is very useful.
Con: Windows Operating System is Buggy/Glitchy/Sluggish. Windows App Store only loads maybe every third time you open it. Even the stock apps don't load every time you open them (ex: the preloaded candy crush game). Cannot easily uninstall some of the stock apps (ex: Xbox app). Battery Life Not as Advertised. If you're using just the internet you can get a few hours out of it; if you're using anything other than that, you're going to drain the battery VERY quickly. (I use Clip Studio and it drains the battery in an hour or two at max). You cannot read books bought on iBooks so you better hang onto your iPad or be ready to buy the books all over again somewhere else. Keyboard accessory is $129 but is a great addition; if you can find it, get it used.
Overall: It's not perfect. If you're looking for a web browser or email tool, go iPad. If you're looking for a way to practice digital drawing, this is great. If you need a portable laptop for business use, this might do the trick, but I'd probably do more research to see if there is something better out there. Don't pay more than $899 (before tax) for it.
Tips: Get a Zagg Invisishield HD Glass shield to cover it and have Best Buy install it. It feels AMAZING and is totally worth the money.

Digital Crack
on January 24, 2016
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fantastic game! It is a fantasy RPG with all the fun of Skyrim but without the glitch and long lag times. The world is expansive and the game has some serious language and adult situations. I'm not even finished with the first main story quest yet and I've been playing since Thanksgiving. Tons of fun! :)

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals — the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer — star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

It's both a step ahead and a return to the past CoD games. Very fun but the new tactics take time to get used to.

Good When They Work
on January 24, 2016
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had a pair of these for 2 years now and bought this pair as a holiday gift.
First, the bad news: I've encountered some issues with these in the past and had to send a pair back to LG for replacement. The issue was that the vibration would come on, as if someone was calling me, and then it wouldn't stop. This happened on two occasions and the only solution was to let the headset vibrate until the battery died. Not even turning the unit off would stop it. The customer service at LG was great and they replaced the unit without issue.
The Good: They are very comfortable and I often forget I have them on me until someone calls or I decide to listen to music. I wear them everyday at work. They hide under my shirt or collar and most people don't notice them. The reception is great and you can walk a surprising distance from your phone before they disconnect. The functionality of the buttons are simple and effective. Sound quality is great and I've seldom encountered a situation where they wouldn't get loud enough to drown out the background noise (exceptions : on a plane or in a gym with blasting speakers).

Great Computer For Everyday Use
on January 24, 2016
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for a simple desktop for everyday use, this is the computer for you. I don't know if it would rock out any games, but it does exactly what I need as far as basic office use, email, and general internet usage. The monitor is very crisp and the processor is quick.

The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

Great Game - as expected
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've played all the other Arkham games and was super excited to see this one. It doesn't disappoint. It has everything you loved about the previous games: combat, flight, cut scenes, riddles, mysteries, and great visuals. It also adds in a new component, the batmobile. I'm not a fan of racing games so it took a while to win me over on this part of the game. I'd rather have not had it at all in the game, but once you get used to it, the vehicle just adds another level of challenge.
It is a bit mature for younger audiences, so kiddos need to be supervised or left to something less intense. Otherwise, go get it now and thank me later! :)

Great Intro Drone
on June 14, 2015
Posted by: NoogaJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the drone for several weeks now and use it almost daily. Let's start with the bad news first. The battery life is really low and almost never charges to a full 100%; you'll never get more than 10 minutes of flight out of the stock battery. The drone drifts, sometimes quite badly, on windy days. The controls, when piloted through an iPad Air, are responsive, but occasionally lag (which can send the drone moving farther than intended). It is dependent upon wireless signal to control, so unless you have a super powerful iPad, you will never reach the full altitude limit. The bottom mounted camera is almost useless as it is very grainy and unclear.
Now for the good. This thing is a tank! When you crash it (and you will) don't fret. I've had several crashes already and the drone pops right back up after a relaunch. The front mounted camera is pretty clear on video playback, although it won't look it from live feed. The controls are easy to learn. It comes with indoor bumpers (the indoor hull) and a bumper-less outdoor hull. It's simple to put together and replacement parts seem to be readily available online (not through Best Buy) and inexpensive.
But, most importantly, this thing is FUN!!! You'll definitely want to buy this one and learn on it before you purchase one of the super expensive ones. I highly recommend this drone for anyone who is interested in drones or remote flight.

Do I need Norton or McAfee security for me surface pro 4?
Yes. It's basically just a touch screen windows pc so you'll definitely want something to protect it from viruses.
