Best GPS for the money!

I'm sure you can get more features for more money, but I am not sure why you would want to.
VERY good directions, love the street-view when a big turn/intersection is coming up, etc. Also will connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, which is great for using the phone app to transfer an address to your GPS unit instantly. Really handy feature. Great mounting system, and screen is very easy to read, even in daylight.

Works Great, Lights are Too Bright
on September 8, 2015

Works just as it should, and with great speeds. However, the lights in this unit are insanely bright. With the white housing, this thing lights up like a Christmas tree and lights up the entire room. I find that to be quite annoying. Great for what it does... needs to be more subdued in form, IMO.

Amazing little box!

GREAT for watching movies via iTunes, Netflix, Youtube, etc. We have two of these in our house, they get used every day. Also great for looking at photos/videos from your iPhone/IPad via the Airplay feature. You can even stream live video by using the mirroring feature of Airplay with your i-device.
Only thing I wish it did was play Amazon Prime videos, but that's a pretty small gripe.

Not better than my old router
on September 7, 2015
Posted by: SteveC75
from Austin, TX
I upgraded from a 5th generation Apple Airport Extreme, hoping that this would be an improvement in speed, signal range, etc. After swapping the two units out, I was surprised at the results. Even after tweaking some settings on the new router, I was not getting noticeably faster signals at all. Speed tests would be slightly higher on my laptop, but would be a LOT slower on my iPhone 6.
Then, my Epson Workforce printer would not work via the wireless network on any of my computers or other devices. I went back, switched back to the old router... speeds went back up, printer worked fine. I should probably say that the printer is about 6 months old, and everything else has been purchased in the past 2 years. Sorry Apple, this one is going back to the store. For $200, it should be better than this.

Fantastic Speed for the Money!

Needed to upgrade to a larger hard drive on my 2013 13" Macbook Pro, and needed 1 TB of space. Going the full SSD route was WAY too costly, and after doing some research on this hybrid drive, I decided to check them out. Best Buy had them on sale, and with their return policy, I figured I would give it a try.
Cloned the drive with the old one, swapped them out, with no issues. FYI, you'll need a T6 torx screwdriver to remove the support screws on the hard drive for your Mac. Very simple, and straight-forward. Also purchased a hard drive housing for $12 from a local shop (they were $29 at Best Buy) and used a free trial of Carbon Copy Cloner to make the cloned copy. Just look it up online. Lots of help out there... even video help!
Speed increase? Yes... Boot up is faster, recovery is faster upon opening the computer, and the quickness of apps/app opening has improved. Twice the memory I had before, and quite a bit more speed. From what I read, after a few days of use, it will get even faster. Great hard drive, and it's extremely quiet!

EXCELLENT Set of Headphones!
on December 22, 2014
Posted by: SteveC75
from Austin, TX
I bought a set of Klipsch One headphones about 3 years ago. They are nice headphones, but a bit small on my ears. Sound quality was great, but they have one GLARING fault... their cable is not replaceable. The cable also does not have an angled plug, so after use plugged into an airplane armrest, they developed a short, which is massively annoying. Having to hold the plug one direction, just to get sound is lame. Now, I have a set of $150 headphones that are useless.
Picked up a set of these new Beats Studio 2.0 in black, and they are fantastic! Very happy that they toned the bass down a bit on this new model. I also really like the sound isolation that they have added. I can listen to music at HALF volume in a room with a loud tv on, and not be interrupted. That's great stuff!
Sound quality is nice and flat, with a bit of a bump in the low end. Never harsh, but never lacking in mids and highs. I listen to everything from rap to classical, blues, and rock... they ALL sound great through these headphones!
Headphones are comfortable, and not too tight (and I have a big head, lol). The mute button on the left side is a really nice feature. I also like the fact that these come with an additional signal cable. Granted, only one of them has a microphone, but it's great that the plug can be replaced. The hard carrying case is also a nice touch.
I picked these up for less than $200, and at that price point, I am very pleased. Would buy them again, for sure!

I've been using electric razors for years. Started with Norelco, and the skin irritation got too bad. Switched to Braun about 12 years ago, and was very happy. A few years ago, I purchased a Braun 7 Series razor. It was great, but did not hold up nearly as well as the first Braun that I had. Shaving quality and battery life diminished quickly. Not to mention the expense of the cleaning solution. I'm still not sure why you need to clean it every day....I think it's just a gimmick to sell you more stuff.
Anyways, the 7 series finally gave up the ghost last week. I thought about another Braun, but a new 7 series is at least $200...and it looks EXACTLY like the one that just died. Sorry, but there should be some improvements in 5 years, IMO. I had read good things about Panasonic razors in review/consumer magazines and websites. The reviews on the Arc3 were stellar, and for the price (which I got price-matched to Amazon# of less than $80, I figured it was worth a shot.
I am in shock at how well this razor works. It literally shaves as close as the Mach razor that I tried last year #a blade). Lightweight, comfortable to hold, and it shaves very quietly and quickly. Trimmer is easy to use, and it works great wet and dry. LOVE the fact that you can use it in the shower if you want to. Plus, ZERO skin irritation or marks. Also very easy to trim around my gotee with this razor.
My only wish is that it came with some sort of stand. I'm so used to having something like that for my Braun, I miss it. That being the only missing thing...I'm sold on Panasonic. Try one, you will not regret it!
What's great about it: Quiet, Holds a charge a LONG time, shaves as close as a blade, and it's waterproof, for a great price!
What's not so great: Wish it came with a stand

I bought these based on the reviews. Wow...thin anemic sound, weak bass, and terribly uncomfortable. My head is not that big, and these were so tight that they gave me a headache after just a few minutes. So very disappointed in these headphones. I was expecting so much more from Sennheiser. These are going back for something like the Klipsch Image series

This built-in dishwasher accommodates up to 14 place settings and features 4 wash cycles for flexible washing options. The twister nozzle system ensures your dishes are thoroughly cleaned.Have questions about this product?Ask Mr. Samsung, fellow shoppers and Best Buy staff. Share your answers.

We have owned Kenmore, Kitchenaid, GE, and Bosch, and they all cost roughly twice as much as this Samsung. This dishwasher outperforms all of them except the Bosch...it's on about the same level as our high-end Bosch. I love the design of the outside, but what is more impressive is the quality on the inside. Stainless throughout, very good quality rack and rack design (better than the Bosch), and it's EXTREMELY quiet. I cannot see why someone would pay more for another unit. Samsung makes quality products. We have owned a set of Samsung front-load laundry machines for over 2 years, and they are amazing.
If you're wondering about the Samsung...trust me, it's amazing. Cleans the dishes very well, and the blue LED lights are a nice feature, as well.
One thing to remember. Like the Bosch models, these dry dishes differently than most traditional dishwashers. They do not have an exposed heating element, and take longer to dry your dishes. May leave some plastic dishes a bit wet, but it does not get as hot as most dishwashers do...and no steam vent on the front of the unit.
We are very pleased, and the Best Buy installation was quick and painless. Thank you Best Buy!
What's great about it: VERY quiet, cleans well, good racks, LED lights are cool
What's not so great: nothing!

How do i turn on the backlit keyboard?
So i bought this computer today (windows 10). Same exact model and everything. I just cant seem to find out how to turn on the backlight. Its not in the manual or anything. Unless it was advertised wrong. I mean this is one of the reasons i bought the laptop. It gave it sort of a high end feel.
this model does not have a backlit keyboard. It must have been advertised incorrectly.

BLUETOOTH QUESTION
My car is equipped with Bluetooth already. I simply need the navigation. Is this the right GPS for my car? My calls come over my speaker system. Should I purchase the GPS without the Bluetooth?
My iPhone 6 will connect to both my car bluetooth for calls, and this GPS for other features. Has worked perfectly.
