Love this mount!
on September 22, 2012
Posted by: RetiredDad
from Wallace, NC
The suction cup on the GPS unit I have wore out and it kept falling off the windshield. My sister-in-law visited with a rental car that had a mount similar to this one - sort of a bean-bag thing. I found this mount in the store and decided to give it a try. It works great, easy to take up and down, holds the unit just fine and molds to the shape of the dashboard it's on. Very pleased with the purchase.
What's great about it: Easy to set-up and molds to surface
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely disappointed in Tech Support so far
on September 22, 2012

I purchased the Tech Support with my new laptop, mainly for the fact that I was told I could bring my old computer in for a diagnostic clean-up and I figured that was worth the price right there. But since I purchased the support, I've tried using it for some questions and help. Although all the agents have been extrememly polite and pleasant, I don't feel like any of them really know what they are talking about and I have had 2 instances where the answers I was given were clearly incorrect. One agent told me because I had an older flash drive, that it was bulkier than the ones currently sold and I would need to use a USB extension lead/cable to move files from one computer to the other. The real problem was that my USB port was just a little tight and the flash drive fit just fine - I had just been afraid to push too hard for fear of breaking something. Today I "chatted" with an agent who told me that the the way my function keys worked could not be changed - that was just the way it was with the computer model I had purchased. After disconnecting with him I "chatted" with an HP Support agent who gave me simple instructions to fix the problem - something the Geek Squad Agent told me could not be fixed (after first suggesting I take it back to the store to be looked at). He also wasn't much help with a few other questions I had and I don't have much confidence in the answers he gave me. Overall I am extremely disappointed with the Geek Squad team - in fact the agent who helped me the most was actually a contractor and didn't even work for Best Buy. I would definitely not opt for Tech Support if I were to buy another computer - I don't feel that it provides any benefit for the money paid.
What's great about it: Agents are very friendly and polite
What's not so great: Agents don't seem to know much more than I do and have given incorrect answers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
