Excellent toothbrush, App needs work
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
First, the toothbrush itself cleans very well, teeth feel downright polished after brushing. I even tried manual brushing ahead of the Sonicare, just to see; there really is a noticeable difference.
The "Connected" part comes from an Android/IOS App (NOTE: this review is Android specific). Connecting is via Bluetooth, but you have to go through the App registration process; connecting directly via Bluetooth will fail. The App requires Location Services be enabled, and is pretty invasive in terms of personal information required.
The toothbrush has three intensity settings and three 'programs', clean, whiten, and deep clean, which are different timer settings in the toothbrush. The App coaches you through the selected program, noting in real time where to brush and to reduce pressure or motion. While you're brushing, the guidance while brushing is very useful.
That having been said, the App isn't perfect. The registration requirements are onerous; what possible reason could they have to require Location Services other than tracking and advertising?!?. An additional issues are limited 'brush to brush' history comparison; there's no real sense of whether your brushing is improving or not. The requirement that your phone needs to be in the bathroom with you and the App needs to be activated is the final kicker. Brushing your teeth means turning on your phone, going through the lock screen, starting the Sonicare app, then picking up the toothbrush.

Replacement heads
on November 12, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
Brushing my teeth twice a day, the brushes seem to last about twice as long as a regular toothbrush, so the cost is not significantly different. The adaptive clean heads leave my teeth feeling very clean, including between the teeth, but are pretty soft so I don't feel I'm damaging the tooth or gums

Keep unwanted hair to a minimum with this Philips grooming tool. The waterproof design lets you use it in the shower, and eight attachments make this trimmer perfect for grooming different sections of the face. This Philips grooming tool has a turbo setting to increase cutting speed, and it charges in just one hour to reduce wait time.

Excellent trimmer, but pricey
on November 12, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
This replaced a Norelco multigroom 5100 which I was using primarily for stach and beard trimming, which it does very well. In particular, trimming is very even, no extra hair poking out. The 7400 is more solid feeling, a little more powerful, possibly a little more waterproof (shower capable vs water cleanup), and has a little better runtime. That having been said, unless your planning on using it in the shower, I'm not sure it's worth double the price of the 5100, which has all the same attachments and trims just about as well.

Very Fast Router!
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
I've had this router up for about a week now. The speed increase over the router I replaced (no slouch) is quite noticeable, for both wired and wireless clients. Routing speeds between local clients (wireless or wired) and over the internet were very impressive. Wireless coverage was also significantly improved over the previous router (an ABGN device) for both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Routing and wireless performance are definitely strong suits of this router.
Setup was pretty typical for Linksys routers, the setup wizard worked well, with one exception. There was no way to set the 5ghz SSID from the wizard; either both the 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs have to be the same, or the 5ghz SSID is defaulted to {2ghz SSID}_5ghz. This can be changed later from the wireless configuration screen. I did set up the cloud administration and phone app to try them. They worked well, but I have security concerns about allowing remote configuration and disabled it after testing.
There were some problems during setup with a four year old wireless printer, due to the automatic channel allocation algorithm and default channel width settings for 2.4ghz, but once the channel was locked and set to 20mhz, everything started working. One note, this is a very new router and the firmware updates are coming very frequently to address residual issues. Fortunately, there is an auto-update feature.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 routing and dhcp are well supported, which is excellent news, since more ISPs are supporting IPv6. Both the external disk and printer support worked well, and with two separate USB ports, it appears that they can be supported simultaneously. Some additional features that are present, and not usual in a home router, are limited VLAN support and packet prioritization. Both have simplified administration controls.
One positive security note is that Linksys now requires the admin password be changed and set during initial setup. There is a minimal strength check, but at least there is strong encouragement to set a decent password. There doesn’t appear to be any way to change the admin user, which would be a plus. There is also a setting to allow automatic update of the firmware, as well as the option to check it manually. Both are a welcome change over the old “check the website occasionally, download if found and manually update” method. uPnP is enabled by default but can be disabled, and the firewall can be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6, although custom configuration is quite limited.
Finally, Linksys is actively supporting development by the OpenWrt and dd-wrt teams. This provides two additional feature rich sources for firmware, although neither is as simple as the factory firmware. Both have significant feature and security advantages over the factory image, and offer an alternative to it. This is a well-supported and competitively priced, feature-rich device. Overall, an excellent router that really brings a new level of performance to home networking with a familiar administrative interface.

Solid, Inexpensive Controller
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Looking for a PC controller because the keyboard controls have gotten too complicated in most modern games. Didn't want to spend a lot of money. This is a solid feeling controller which has worked with all the games I've tried. Layout is somewhat different than an XBOX controller, but it was easy to adapt to it. Wanted a usb controller mostly to avoid the weight of an RF controller and this controller manages to feel good in the hands without the weight. Only negative is that the cord could be longer.

Stunning graphics, great story line

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is incredibly immersive, absolutely stunning graphics and a great story line. Fighting system is complex on a keyboard making a gamepad controller a wise choice. Pay attention to the system requirements, particularly the graphics card; this game will not play well on a casual home rig.

Purchased to upgrade storage in an android phone. The price on sale was right, and the memory increase (8GB to 32GB) is ample. Most noticeable was the increase in storage and access speed. Photos and transfers are both noticeably faster than the old card.

Very good upgrade for TV audio
on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Soundbar is a very good value for the price, especially on sale. Improvement over the built in speakers is quite noticeable. Speech is much, much clearer and more distinct. This doesn't have the thundering base of a subwoofer system, but is a great way to inexpensively upgrade TV audio.

Excellent job of installation

Verified Purchase:Yes
Installation was included in the on sale price of the alarm/remote entry system we purchased. The Union City installers were very professional, did a great job, all the wiring tied up nicely. Everything works as it's supposed to. They were ready on our scheduled date and the work was completed on time.

Good, Basic car alarm and remote entry
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: rtbestbuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nothing special, but it works well. We needed to replace a failing aftermarket unit with another basic alarm and remote entry system. The price was good. One nice thing is that this unit has separate buttons for lock and unlock, and a panic switch.

XPS Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 2TB Hard Drive + Intel Optane Memory
 

Since there is no graphics card, I'm curious to the max resolution. My Dell monitor is capable of 2560x1440. Will I need an add on card to get this resolution?

Max resolution of the Intel HD 620 video controller is 4096x2304.
