Smart Relay with Quick Glance NotificationsNow you can receive Quick Glance notifications, such as texts, emails and phone calls, all on your wrist. And when you want to respond to one of your messages on your Samsung Galaxy device, Smart Relay automatically displays the same message for you on your phone, so you don't waste any time searching or opening applications.

I have owned the watch for a month now to really run it through it's paces. The reason I purchased it in the first place is because I hoped that I could utilize it while I work. I put my phone in my back pocket while I work. I work with tools etc. and putting down tools and taking off gloves is a pain to answer the phone and not hope to miss a call! What sucks is when you go through all that to find out it's another solicitor! Now, I can flip the wrist and see the call and in a pinch can answer it until I can safely and slowly get to a place where handling the conversation by phone. Beyond that, I like seeing notifications and I use the pedometer feature allot! It's just really helpful and use it almost daily now beyond my collection of very expensive watches! It could be more comfortable, but most the time it's fine. If it had a battery life of a week that would be great. I can safely on most days get 2 but 3 would be a pinch, but possible on use. Bottom line, I love it and will be a future buyer as they improve! Not bad Samsung!
What's great about it: Nice to see who's calling without pulling out the phone
What's not so great: battery life and price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bottom line is the remote works. I have tried different remotes with different software for the programing. Harmony has good software far better than the majority I have come across. Be patient it will be worth it. Setup on any media surround type setups with multiple devices to learn will take time. After you begin the software training so to speak you begin to get a sense on how it all works together and how you want certain functions to work. The more detailed you want the remote to function your equipment you begin to see how much more functional everything begins to work easier. I found myself making minor tweaks quite often after my initial setup. And most of those just for my own personal functionality. Most of the setup I did within a day and tested it with my wife and got a Happy grin and thumbs up! I also have the Harmony 900 for another surround setup and love that remote too. Although the majority of the remote had back lighting, buttons on the top above the LCD screen did not which made no sense from an otherwise great remote.
What's great about it: Ease of use...
What's not so great: Setup does take time

Keep your home clean and your family healthy with this powerful vacuum that catches and traps dust, allergens and other irritants and features Microban technology for added protection.

For the money, this is really a very good Vac cleaner. I like having the power button on the top handle. The power cord is long, but wished it had the ability to recoil into the unit. Great suction. Only real problem area we had was dumping the dirt out. The trap release door gets stuck.
What's great about it: Quiet, cleans well
What's not so great: The chamber that holds the dirt fills pretty quick and not the easiest to empty
I would recommend this to a friend!

purchased this computer brand new, got it home and plugged it in, and... "Blue screen of death."
There was no hard drive installed on the machine when it was assembled. Ten minutes after i bought the computer i was back at Best Buy returning it. When i walked up to the service desk with the new lenovo, the first thing out of their mouth was "is the power cord not working?" no... i had a different problem, but thanks for the heads up.
I returned the Yoga 2 Pro and got a Toshiba Radius 15.6" with all the bells and whistles, and i'm very happy that i did. The Toshiba is GREAT! I wasn't comfortable being loyal to a product that allowed such a glaring manufacturing oversight. Later i would find out about the SD card not fitting all the way into the body of the laptop, and the micro HDMI port breaking if you use it too much (which i had intended to), and i am even happier with my decision to go with the Toshiba.

Good grief...

How in the world would this be a knock against the computer!?! Maybe best buy or the remote possibility the people who built the computer didn't put one in, however the product is tested before packaged. So, the case more than likely is someone else bought it and took it out and returned it. More than likely, an employee at BB didn't fully check the computer out before reselling it... I wish people would use common sense when leaving comments.... Rate the computer not the mistake!!!
