It's nice if you don't mind 3 big issues
on October 19, 2015
Posted by: gldoorii
from Coconut Creek, FL
The laptop is slim, sexy, and very sleek, but three big issues made me return it a few days later. First, the processor is underpowered for the price of the machine. Second, the battery does not last nearly as long as other slim laptops (Macbook Air), and the display scaling you have to do in Windows is terrible.
For a laptop that is supposed to be meant for portability, not performance, I was disappointed with the battery life compared to it's main competitor, the new 12" Macbook and Macbook Air. They last all day, whereas this one doesnt. It's also quite underpowered compared to those as well. It has the same Core M that the new Macbook has, but OSX is much more optimized than Windows is, so you'll find more stuttering and lag as you open more and more programs and browser tabs on the Yoga.
The biggest issue for me, however, was the display. First, it's absolutely gorgeous, but because you need to use WIndows display scaling it makes programs not optimized for a qHD screen blurry and frustrating to use. Sure, you can pull the scaling back to get the full resolution of the display, but then programs become so tiny that you can't read anything. I found myself constantly logging in and out to refresh the scaling as I changed it to suit the program I was using at the time. This is unacceptable.
I wish I could recommend this, but I just wasn't pleased.

It's frustratingly fantastic
on August 1, 2015
Posted by: gldoorii
from Coconut Creek, FL
I just got home from purchasing this keyboard and I'm using it to type this review. I've got to say that I'm impressed with the quality of the keyboard overall. I fully expected a really cheap plasticy feel to it since it's Microsoft, but it's put together nicely. The keys are nice even though they are small and I didn't have any issues with the bluetooth connection. My one big gripe about this device is the cover. The outside top has that soft rubber stuff on it, which feels high quality, but gets dirty incredibly easy and is very difficult to brush off. Also, I wish the area that the tablet rests against was covered in rubber or some sort of protection other than just being hard plastic. I feel like I have to be very careful when I place my iPad into the slot because only the portion the back touches is rubber, not the bottom (that the side or bottom of you tablet touches). Since the cover/stand can be completely detached and I can use my iPad Smart Cover as a stand, it's not so much a big deal. Other than that I like this keyboard a lot, but will be returning it because it's cheaper on Amazon right now and Best Buy told me they won't price match.
I'd recommend this to anyone that doesn't want a keyboard case/folio because of the bulkiness and would like a quality keyboard that can connect to multiple devices.

The manual gave a link to download the software which easily and quickly transferred all my of settings from my previous remote (510 I think?) to this one and everything works great. I expected some issues with the transfer, but had none at all.

It's hard to beat 128 GB for less than $30, but you have to deal with 2.0 speeds. Works great though.

Great idea, failed design
on March 27, 2013
Posted by: gldoorii
from Coconut Creek, FL
The idea behind this product is great, but the execution is a disaster. I'm a huge fan of SNK, but Tommo made this product...and while it still says SNK on the back, it's not the build quality that should be expected. The docking station is like a cheap plastic toy as is the controller. The handheld feels very comfortable and the "clicky" analog stick controls great, but the screen is terrible by today's standards. It is very washed out and has a blur to it. It does come with 20 great games, but the problem is that the system is just an emulator. You are locked to only 5 credits and the US region (no blood), so don't think you're getting an arcade feel with unlimited continues, because you're not. The controller can be used with a computer though...so that's nice.
What's great about it: lots of games included
What's not so great: build quality, screen, cheap parts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the best tablet for the price! You get alot for your money. This tablet kills the ipad mini. It has a faster processor, better camera, bigger screen, higher resolution so the screen is more brilliant and brighter. You can have widget's and get free music and on the apple ipad you cant, instead youre stuck with just icons and only two or three screens whereas on this tablet you can have I think up to 7 screens!. I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this product!

By Zorman

They need to add more games or have a way to add more later. What about Moon patrol and a ton of others that were left out. HDMI is great. So why would they make you buy a second controller and not be able to buy more games. I only gave it one star in hopes that they will read this before it is to late.

Just unpacked the computer - I bought this particular model because the detailed specs (Aug 23, 2016) clearly said 2 HDMI outs. But, there is only one. Been on the phone with BB for the last hour trying to work out a solution.

Sadly, it's almost to be expected these days. Best Buy's PC section online is constantly incorrect with wrong specs and I've had to deal with returning multiple products because of it. The best thing to do is find what you want and go to the store to actually check the item yourself. Hopefully you get it resolved.

By Shorty
from Northwest Arkansas
The great thing about this USB 3.0 drive is it seems to write data at least twice as fast as a USB 2.0 drive even when the socket is USB 2.0
I have never had a problem with the operation of a SanDisk storage device and anticipate no problems with this device.
According to the drive "Properties" tab of this drive the usable capacity of this "64GB" USB 3 drive is 57.8GB. Further the actual max capacity of the drive is 61.481 GB. I suppose the consumer electronics community has this uncontrollable tendency towards hyperbole but really SanDisk, isn't a 6+ GB overstatement of stated capacity a bit much?
I have purchased 20 or so SanDisk USB 2.0 drives over the years and can state that all have worked reasonably well and are still working; a few have gone thru my washer and dryer several times and they still work! I just shake my head in wonder when a provider of quality storage devices so grossly misrepresents a product.

When you buy a storage device (hard drive, flash drive etc) you don't actually get the storage space that's printed on the packaging on account of the difference between how the manufacturer calculates capacity (decimal-based) compared to how a computer calculates it (binary-based). The drive manufacturers will not use the true binary capacity on their packaging because none of them want to be the first to start doing it, since it will make their drives look more expensive per megabyte than the competition. It's normal since storage media manufacturers consider 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes and digitally the OS counts 1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Therefore the advertised size is and has never been totally correct. This is nothing new.

By Johnny
The keyboard was the type I was looking for, but the salesman said it could be used as Bluetooth. I found it had to have the receiver plugged in for it to work. The salesman assured me since there was a Bluetooth symbol on the box, it was Bluetooth. It is a good keyboard, but I could have gotten the same for less money

Yea, I also suggest to people that if you find something in the store you want, make sure you go online and read reviews, ask questions, and do a bit of research first. Relying on a Best Buy employee to give you correct information is something you should never do.

Envy is supposed to be the more premium model, but since it's a computer you can have the same parts/specs on the inside and all that matters is the external appearance and where the ports are located.
