great drive

I have been looking for a external blu-ray drive to use with our macs for a while. Was about to buy the Pioneer one but found this one on sale and the look was better. Found a software company on line and download the necessary drive. It works like a charm. So even though we use less and less hardware and discs, this makes a nice addition when you want to use a blu-drive or regular dvd. And it does not hurt that it looks great.

The only way to be able to explore the potential of any of the NEX cameras is by adding this lens it gives you the range that makes this type of camera a better product than a point and shoot. The quality is solid and it looks great. BTW it comes in solid black or this silver model. The zoom makes all the difference in the world, you can be in the back of the room and get great shots. BB will price match, so do your research before you pay full price for it. So get it and enjoy another dimension of your camera.

The 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put safely. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up; an amber light lets you know that your laptop is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Great power adapter!

Have a MacBook with Retina display and MacBook Air. So it is nice to have an extra power adapter to carry in the backpack and to connect it in the family room without having to drag along the one that comes with the laptops out of the office. Like everything that Apple makes it has a nice distinctive look.

Needed to connect my MacBook pro to an iMac and it works much better than any other form of connectivity. It is extremely accurate and it gives you the flexibility of not having to be that close to the iMac. Until now the construction is solid and the color matches the rest of the peripherals.

We needed for those occasions that is necessary to use a dvd or cd. And I like using it for putting my "play list" from iTunes. We have two because we have multiples MacBooks my 15 retina and the kids MacBooks airs. my wife still prefer the 13" MacBook pro with the drive install in it ( there is only one model with it left) and it looks like it is going away this year. To summarize this drive perform excellent is elegant and one of the best future is that it does not have any buttons minimizing the opportunity to break.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

best family of laptops
on November 4, 2013
Posted by: tmaster
from Northern, California
I have a 13" MBP that I purchase in June of 2011 and it is a work horse the only thing that I have done is that I changed from 4gb to 8 gb and it still works as great as the day it was purchase, you know minus some bruises here and there.In the meantime I have been buying different brands of Window base laptops for the family that we keep throwing away and loosing money, so when my kids needed replacements again we decided to go with this one for one and an air for the other one. And I just acquire the top of the line 15" RMPO that came out on Oct. 22nd. And now I have peace of mind that we don't have to try to figure out why the error messages are on, and having to buy anti-virus and still have a slow laptop. So to summarize this is an investment that you will not have to keep repeating. So do yourself a favor get one. And if you find it a little difficult to learn, the apple store offer hour classes for free.I would still buy it at BB because at the apple store you don't get a penny off.

great combination case

I purchase a iPhone 5S the day of release at BB and would have purchase the new apple leather case but they were not available. So I looked for other ones and came across the Mophie in Red and it looked great and it felt nice without making the phone bulky. It charges your phone in a timely manner. If there is a negative is that it will scratch and that is almost impossible to avoid.

The iP11 is a great looking way to listen to great sound.

For the quintessential time don't write reviews without owning the Television. It is irresponsible to offer a review and ranking when you have spend time with it at a store display.

3 out of 5GREAT LAPTOP, BUT SHIPPED WITH WRONG OS
By SEREMSGT
from ADKINS, TX
The published specifications from the Best Buy website stated clearly that the OS was 10.9 (Mavericks). The computer arrived with 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I called customer support about the issue and they were willing only to send a shipping label so I could send the computer back for replacement. No other solution available. How about sending me the installation DVD? How about some consideration for the time I am spending downloading and installing the correct OS? I would recommend the laptop to a friend, but not Best Buy.

A question of timing
December 11, 2013
It is true that the new ones come with OS 10.9 Maverick, but since this model was not reconfigure. The ones that were still in store obviously have the old OS. There is no disc for Maverick it is a download through the APP Store. Best Buy don't have any control of which ones have the new OS or not. Now if you get one with the Retina display. The new model, they come with maverick installed. Eventually all of the Macbook pro's and Air's would have the new OS. I purchase 3 at the end of October one was a Retina with Maverick and the Air and the one identical to this one I download Maverick for free. There was no inconvenience. BTW I don't work for BB never had.

Why do I get an error saying disc is incompatible?
I am having problems with my Panasonic Blu-ray player not playing Blu-ray discs. I get an Incompatible disc error message.
Most likely your Panasonic blu-ray player needs a software update.

What kind of standard warranty your TV comes with ?
Planning to buy 39" TV on sale for $229.99
The standard warranty on most tv's is one year. But you can get extended cover for 1, 2 or 4 years through the Geek Squad. To give you a example I have printer that I purchase last year and it stopped working and I took it back to Best Buy and within a half an hour I left with a new printer. It is good to have the protection and the service is great.

What's a good college laptop with a dvd player?
I'm looking for a laptop under $400 with a dvd player and pretty good for college so not too heavy and a good battery enough to last through a lecture. Help!
SAVE your money, put together a little more and buy yourself a macbook pro on sale or open box at Best Buy. You can get one for around half the price of it if you get the open box ones. They have the same warranty as the seal ones is just that someone use it for less than 14 days and exchange it. If you buy a bargain laptop I can almost guarantee that you will be sad because your money will be wasted. At that price point there is no laptop worth two cents.

I am looking for a high-quality wifi blu-ray player with an optical output jack so my soundbar will work with the player?
Make it easy on yourself, connect your blu ray and any other equipment, like your video games through HDMI cables to your HDTV. Then use the optical jack from the TV and connected to the sound bar. When you select the different outputs on the TV, the sound bar will pick it up.

What does "refurbished" mean?
When a piece of equipment is sent back to the manufacturer and they test it, fix anything that might not be in working order and retest it. Then is offer for sale through stores or websites. With the disclaimer that this equipment is refurbished and the warranty on it is less than the none refurbished.
The price will reflect the refurbished class.

computer will not turn on?
JUST GOT MY GRANDDAUGHTER A POWER CORD FOR HER LAPTOP, OLD ONE WAS DAMAGED. CHARGED IT FOR DAYS AND NOTHING? IT WORKED BEFORE, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I GOT CORRECT CHARGER BUT, COMPUTER WILL NOT CHARGE? ANY IDEAS?
Battery most likely is dead. But it all depends on how old the laptop is. Batteries have a lifespan of around 3 years as a norm.

What is the best Apple Laptop or Desk top for a High School student
Macbook Air 13". Got one for my High School daughter and is a great investment. Go to Best Buy and ask if they have an open box, if they do. Make sure that you compare the price they are offering you with the new ones that are on sale. Remember the open box items carry the same warranty as the new ones.

Could you show me new laptops for under 300 dollars
Remember you get what you pay for. You buy a $300 laptop and you would be using it as paper weight in a couple of weeks. Save a little more and get yourself something that would last you.

When are the new macbooks going to be available in stores. I can only see that they are available for pre-order
Just bought the 15" with the 16Gb and 512Gb. went to my local Best Buy the awesome sales associate did a search and the store 2 towns west of us had 4 in store so i pay for it and i received an email that is waiting for pick up. I call the store and will pick it up tomorrow. So what i recommend is that you go in the store and ask them if they have it or to find out if it is available near by. I just checked and still says pre-oredr only, even at the store that I purchase mine from. Can't wait I have a 13" macbook pro that i bought in June of 2011 that still rocks, but could not pass on this new model. Good luck finding yours. I prefer buying them through Best Buy because there protection plan is superior to the one that Apple sells.
