Good inexpensive soundbar
on March 9, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfect for bedroom TV. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the fancier ones but good enough for bedroom. No optical audio, some distortion if you go really loud. Despite that, good soundbar when I purchased on sale.

Works great for Samsung smart TV
on March 2, 2018

from San Francisco
Verified Purchase:Yes
Worked right out of the box by plugging in wireless receiver on back of TV and powering on Keyboard. Has no included manual but directs you to support site so you can download one. According to manual, it appears to be much more configurable when hooked up to PC than to TV but good enough for my needs (wireless, no separate mouse).

This special edition re-release of Gremlins is a vast improvement over the original disc. To begin with, the image, which is framed at the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, shows clear signs of the new digital transfer. Colors are sharp and vibrant (though maybe a little over saturated at times) with blacks that are solid. Overall the immediate impression of the picture is better than would be expected. The sound, which uses the same 5.1 English track from the original release, is certainly good, but never takes advantage of the entire sound field. It's generally centered up front, but is distortion free and produces clear audio. The main difference between releases is obviously the supplemental features. Whereas the first disc was basically movie only, this one has a number of nice features. At the top of the list would have to be two new commentary tracks. The first is enthusiastic and informational with director Joe Dante and actors Zach Galligan, Howie Mandel, and the less heard Phoebe Cates and Dick Miller. The second is a little more technical, but nevertheless entertaining with Dante again, producer Michael Finnell, and special effects artist Chris Walas. The rest of the extras, while good, are less spectacular. Along with ten minutes of deleted scenes with optional commentary is a six-minute featurette with behind-the-scenes shots and interviews, a photo/storyboard gallery, and cast and crew biographies. Rounding this nice package out are three trailers, two for this film and one for the sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Nostalgic movie from my youth

Wife and I saw this movie in our youth. Bought this as a gag gift for wife. Makes you realize the many years that have gone by watching a very youthful Phoebe Cates and Corey Feldman act in this movie.

Good basic Chromebook
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: labrat
Verified Purchase:Yes
A basic Chromebook with low price point and decent performance.
Pros:. Compact, has full size HDMI port, has microSD slot, not very heavy and very good battery life
Cons:. Only 2 USB ports, charge/battery status LED on left rear next to the adaptor port.
I deducted one star for not being able to quickly see battery/charge status while laptop is in use without having to turn the unit sideways. Would be nice to have more than 2 USB ports. All ports occupied if you plug in a mouse and a USB stick.
This is my second Chromebook (and my first one is still being used). A lot of the poor reviews on this Chromebook (and probably all Chromebooks) come from failure to understand the limitations of a Chromebook.
Do your homework and research this product, understand the limitations of this product, understand what you can and cannot do with a Chromebook and you will at minimum like this product.

Everything I needed in one place
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: labrat
Verified Purchase:Yes
This add-on to FireTV remote is fine so long as it's limited to basic TV functions. Would definitely be more functional if it had directional navigation keys but unit would probably be bigger and more expensive. Sideclick learns by pointing original TV remote toward IR window and selecting corresponding buttons so no messing with manufacturer codes, trial and error, etc. Did have to relearn a few buttons as it didn't work the first time. Minor annoyance but not a deal-breaker.

Works great!

I purchased this stand-alone MP3 player as a means to free up storage space on my phone. The 8G is supposed to be good for about 2000 songs and based on my own content, it will be close to that. It's expandable with a microSD card in case you are very serious about taking your entire music collection with you. Battery life is good and the included FM tuner is nice to switch things up a bit.

HBO Video's DVD of Cannonball Run delivers a bit more than one might expect from a budget-priced disc. For instance, the film looks and sounds better than it did in its videotape incarnation. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen image is sharp and the film has been given a punchy Dolby Digital 5.1 remix that plays up the film's witty use of music and the frequent car-chase sound effects. The Cannonball Run DVD also boasts an unexpected but welcome commentary from director Hal Needham and producer Albert Ruddy. The commentary falls prey to occasional dull spots (both men praise the actors to excess), but patient listeners will be rewarded with plenty of nifty facts. Interesting bits of trivia revealed on the commentary include how much of the budget went to Reynolds' salary and the fact that Hal Needham and screenwriter Brock Yates once participated the real-life Cannonball Run. The one downside of this disc is that it strangely lacks a trailer for the film. Despite this curious omission, the DVD edition of The Cannonball Run is guaranteed to please the film's cult following.

Extra help for Bubba Gump Restaurant

I have always remembered this to be a fun movie and my last visit with Bubba Gump restaurant clearly showed my Forrest Gump trivia to be in need of help. Saw this in the $5 bin at Best Buy and purchased as an impulse buy. The entire family will be ready next time we dine at Bubba Gumps.

This is not a substitute remote for the FireTV or FireTV stick. You need to order another remote from Amazon if yours is lost or broken.

Does this come with the remote or is this just an attachment to the remote.

Just an attachment to FireTV or FireTV stick remote.

Does this have mouse feature?

No. It does not navigate in any way. You use it to control basic TV functions (power, volume +/-, channel +/-, input source select and maybe mute).
