All about the story

Yea, this film wasn’t exactly cast with A-lost actors, but the story ranks up there with Wall-E as to what is happening to our country right under our noses. If you can get passed the decent acting and script, this movie actually has a strong message and is worth a watch.

Fits perfectly!

This stacking kit fits my 2012 LG washer and dryer perfectly. I was a little worried about the double sided tape that holds the bracket on the front of the washer, but the tape holds firmly along with the screws in the back and everything is solid. Only complaint is that the materials don't match the finish on my washer so it stands out a little.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Works, but don't try with the lights off
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: dgelliott
from Charlotte, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I'd first like to say I LOVE the fact that this dock charges both the Apple Watch and iPhone without the need for any cables to be snaked through (unlike 95% of the "dual-charging" docks on the market.) It only has one power cable without a brick, so it frees up a power outlet. I wanted to keep my normal watch cable/USB brick for travel while also having one at home. I have gone through a thousand lightning cables because I use my phone after laying down in bed. The subsequent bending/tension at the jack has destroyed many cables (of numerous brands/constructions.). The idea of having a dock for both my watch and my phone solved both problems, albeit at a premium.
The dock great mass to it -- it doesn't slide around when you put the phone/watch on. It charges equally as well as the stock chargers.
You can move the lightning jack up and down via a dial on the back which is great if you have a thicker case. The jack's casing is very low-profile, so I imagine it would work with almost any case (but maybe not the ones that have a flap over the port.)
The presentation it gives the phone and watch while on charge is unmatched by any other dock. It holds them at attractive angles and looks like you are showing off your devices on a display stand.
The watch charger holds about the same as the Apple brand one we have on our other night stand. I've only once woken up to a watch that didn't charge overnight and I'm pretty sure I knocked it loose while placing the phone the night before (more on that later.)
The firm grip it has on the phone's lightning port is both a pro and a con. Pro because I don't have to worry about it being knocked off the dock on accident. The con being that you have to hold the dock down in order to pull the phone off (aka not a one handed job,) which can be frustrating if you're laying in bed reaching over to answer a phone call whilst in bed.
The MASSIVE downside to this dock is how insanely difficult it is to get the lightning port lined up correctly if it's dark in the room. With a cable, it's pretty straight forward, move it around until you feel the cable depress. Because the lightning jack is so wide it fits incredibly snugly, but it also makes it unnecessarily difficult to push the phone onto the port. The kicker is that the port leans to adjust for the thickness of your case. A nice idea, but a design flaw in my opinion. The combination of these facts make it very difficult to line up the phone and push it down just right 90% of the time. Most of the time the jack just moves with the contour of the rounded iPhone's posterior, ending up with little microbrasions on the front and back of the phone adjacent to the lightning port. Sometimes you think you have it lined up perfectly, only to find out that you're just feeling the space between the case and the phone.
This problem could be alleviated by either eliminating the ability for the jack to rock and/or putting a cradle for the sides/bottom of the phone to line up to.
If you are staring at the dock with the lights on, it is easy to line up. But for my purposes, I usually turn off the lights in my room before laying in bed/docking my phone, so it is frustratingly difficult to dock the phone when I'm ready to go to sleep.
Sure, the rational way around this would be to not use my phone once in bed, but that's a habit that is going to take a very long time to break.
Another feature that I wish they had added to this dock (for the price) would have been to have a lightning or headphone jack to plug headphones to so you could listen to music while charging it, because the dock entirely eliminates that ability unless you have bluetooth headphones.
In summary, I'm giving this a very generous 4 stars. This is the most attractive dual-charging stand on the market and it is made of quality materials. But I may not recommend it if you're using it bedside and you're the type of person that uses your phone in bed before going to sleep.

The bulb is awesome, but the app makes it only okay. If you plan to use this light on the same setting most of the time it's an awesome tunable bulb, just don't expect a great experience while programming.

Beautiful display!

This computer comes with a beautiful 5k display, and the large screen is plenty for almost any application. It might be worth it to upgrade to the all solid state hard drive instead of keeping the fusion drive as it can be slow at times.

Great 2 in one for mac

Posted by: dgelliott

Verified Purchase:Yes
Since the new MacBooks do not come with integrated NIC's, this two in one is a great addition for people looking to move large files over a network. I have had a few instances where the ethernet could not be found by my macbook after coming out of sleep mode, but that seems to have been fixed with the latest driver. If you're looking for just ethernet however, apple sells a thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet that works without any extra drivers.

Awesome BIOS GUI
on June 16, 2015
Posted by: dgelliott
from Charlotte, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. Installation was a breeze with this puppy. I love the BIOS and the different HD GUI options that ship along with this board.
This is a great deal, picked mine up with a 10% off coupon combined with some gift cards and reward zone points, so there's no chance I would've found it at a better price. I was actually pretty excited when I saw best buy had this combo on their site. Glad I decided to double check Best Buy for components before buying elsewhere! Thanks Best Buy!
If I had a complaint, it's that this system boots so fast when combined with a ssd that it took me a bit to realize I was supposed to be hitting "DEL" instead of a function key to pull up the BIOS. The POST screen was a flash at best (and that's a problem I'm okay with having.) But that's a question that the Internet quickly answered. It was probably in the manual too, but I'm lazy.

Good quality but it takes too long to start

Verified Purchase:Yes
On screen menus could be better for the more tech-savy. It actually makes more complex controls more difficult when you make something too user friendly-without an easily accessible option for more network controls. But it is a home, rather than office, oriented printer, so that's a bit to be expected. It is an excellent printer for the price.

Good entry level harmony

Good tactile response on button press, battery lasts about 3 weeks per recharge. Overall, what I would expect out of a Logitech product. Side note: this model does not come with a charging cradle. Instead it charges via micro USB port. (Charging method is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars)
