The switch is one of those devices that really hits the nail on the head. It fits lifestyle changes in popular culture at a perfect time. We still do use a TV for gaming, but we do want flexibility in that. In a household where the TV is oftentimes family entertainment, and sometime entertainment for one, the Switch fits the bill. Many nights when my wife want to watch TV, and I want to play a game, I can just grab the switch and go instead of having to force my wife to another screen.
This platform has a lot of growing to do, but the switch is a great realization of the merging of mobile and gaming consoles. It's worth every penny.

Fun, but Hard to get started
on April 23, 2017
Posted by: aarondr
Verified Purchase:Yes
I found this game hard to get into first. Frankly I played about an hour, then bought Zelda. I've came back to it, and realized strategy wise, it's quite fun.
The only problem I had with it, was it had the complexity and graphics of a mobile title, but the price of a AAA title. That to me is the downside to this game.
Since there aren't a bunch of Switch options yet, this is still fun gameplay and I'm waiting for a chance to get my family involved in multi-player.

And with hours of battery life, you can go all day without recharging.

Great Business Laptop
on March 5, 2017
Posted by: aarondr
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this laptop now since November, and I can say honestly that it is a solid business laptop. I work in an environment that still utilizes desktops across the organization, and I am a mobile worker, so I ended up purchasing this as a BOYD. This machine offers a great value, giving you a solid build, decent SSD, touchscreen, 1080p IPS screen, tablet functionality, integrated pen and digitizer, solid software, amazing keyboard, decent enough graphics w/ generous framebuffer to play many pre-2015 games on medium (CS:GO, Grid Autosports, Dark Souls 2, etc work great at medium high settings 1080p). The CPU is a bit weaker than others in it's price range, and that can hurt. I have a quad core Skylake CPU, and the processing difference is tremendous. But the battery life on the ThinkPad stands around 6 hours, which is much better than my other laptop. The WiFi is a standard Intel 2x2 AC adapter, so you'll realistically get 200-300Mbps if you have an AC router.
For me, the icing on the cake is the various status LEDs that are a hallmark of Thinkpad design. Microphone, speaker status LEDs, along with the thinkpad 'i' dot power LEDs are well designed and extremely functional. The keyboard is one of the best feeling I've ever used, and has an FN lock shortcut w/ LED, ability to swap the FN and Ctrl key in bios. The backlit keys are subtle and pleasant to use. Shutting the lid can be setup to enter a lower power state for a time so if you frequently step between meetings you can close without disconnecting any VPN/WiFi/etc.
The memory is upgradable (16GB single stick can replace the 8GB it comes with - check ebay for DDL3L 16GB sodimm), and even has a m.2 slot (albiet 2242, so a much smaller selection of SSDs can fit).
This laptop is the perfect blend of performance, style, durability, and cost. I really hope Lenovo releases a great follow-up to the Skylake design. I just wish this guy came in a quad core!

A Great Collection
on March 5, 2017
Posted by: aarondr
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this on a great sale price, and the fact it includes the digital copies means I can enjoy these on iTunes, Vudu, or my Blu-ray player anytime I want. The movies can be attacked for being cheezy or poor writing/acting, but in the end - they are enjoyable movies to watch - with just the right blend of cliche and action to make it a fun popcorn film festival.

Steam is the bomb. Gift cars to steam are the bomb. Best Buy gift cards can buy steam gift cards, so best buy is the bomb. But really - Steam makes it easy to redeem and get great games at great prices.

What a blast
on March 5, 2017
Posted by: aarondr
Verified Purchase:Yes
This car drifts extremely well, and is a blast to drive. It pairs quickly, and while many of the functions are pretty much unavailable without the track, the core competency of being an RC car is pretty tight. Speed is very good, and the batteries last a decent amount of time. My son and I love this!

I really appreciate that the second teir has 128GB now. Fast (crazy fast) CPU and a great size when all the new phones are just too big. Lack of a headphone jack it an annoyance, but overall its amazing!

The Drive is Fast
on April 6, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not the highest end for the money, but PNY keeps delivering competitively priced (on sale) SSD that deliver the goods. While this is a TLC drive, and we'll see performance long-term, it does a great job from the start - refurbishing pretty much any computer instantly. Came with a spacer if you have an ultraslim 7mm SATA slot on your laptop (like some early ultrabooks) it will fit, otherwise stick on the spacer for a nice snug fit.

It's magnetically snapped to the computer and protects the screen. It could be a bit more secure, but it works and offers a decent enough typing on the go.

Designed for gaming, photo and video applications and faster system performance, this PNY Optima solid state drive features a Serial ATA III interface and thin form factor to facilitate integration with your laptop. A 240GB capacity offers ample storage.
 

What are the dimensions of the drive (LxWxH)?

(H) 7mm (w/ 9mm adapter) x (W) 70mm x Depth 100mm.

It's a standard laptop sized drive that differs in that it is the slimline format introduced a few years ago. The included adapter ensures a secure fit in almost every laptop. I've put this in Mac's, Dells' HPs, Lenovos, and custom computers - works almost everywhere!
