Incredible soundbar for the price.

Purchased this a month ago on sale for $129, which in the world of mid-range soundbars is practically free, and very pleased.
Sound has nice dynamic range at all volumes and seems to pick up sounds that my old one didn't, or at least brings them to the foreground better. Creates a surround effect quite well and the subwoofer rumbles if you need it to.
No complaints.

Not generally a fan of Chromebooks, BUT...

I was looking for an economical laptop with a particularly bright screen and portability. I happened across this model on sale and went for it.
The OLED screen is very crisp and very bright (400 nits) The touchscreen is responsive, and the movement is smooth. Some Linux apps are slow to boot, but once up they run fine and things are snappy, even with multiple tabs in play. The magnetic keyboard snaps tightly into place and the keys, while a little spongy, have enough click and resistance to not cause an issue with typing speed.
I have since purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse, adjustable tablet stand, and a USB-C hub and they combine to create a very snazzy, effective workstation, while I use the included keyboard when I need to be mobile.
Battery life is excellent even with full screen brightness.
While I would have liked a built-in micro-SD slot, I won't knock it for not having one because I knew that it didn't before buying. Two C connections get the job done.
A very nice unit and I'll say good job, Lenovo.

paying "gaming laptop price and this fits the bill easily.
Sturdy aluminum construction, i7, plenty of RAM and a graphics card, while not top of the line, is more than adequate for most of what you'd ever want to play.
Screen is sharp and vibrant and you can snap to multiple apps and tabs quickly after almost instant-on.
Best laptop for gaming I've ever owned for hundreds less than a gaming laptop.

Went from a 65in Hisense (also a good television) to this one. Screen is large enough for a truly theatrical experience. Bright screen, nice color, good upscaling ability, and a minimalist remote.
If you want the screen size without sinking 4 or 5 thousand dollars into a television, I don't think much could beat this choice.

I liked this laptop. It was plenty fast and seemed to otherwise work great...except for the fact that a week in it started with "plugged in, not charging."
Rather than try to troubleshoot and potentially run out the clock on the easy return window I simply returned it.

Welcome to STAR TREK DISCOVERY Season One, an odyssey that unfolds a decade before the era of Star Trek The Original Series. Sonequa Martin-Green stars as Michael Burnham, formerly one of Starfleets's most respected first officers - and now it's first mutineer. A human raised as a Vulcan, Burnham learned early that Inchall life is born from chaos.Inch Her defiance of a direct order resulted in an all-out war with the Klingon Empire, and she was sentenced to life in prison - until Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) recruits her aboard the U.S.S. Discovery. Joining her on this dramatic, epic journey are Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs), First Officer Saru (Doug Jones), Chief of Security Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif), Chief Engineer Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), and Cadet Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman). Together, their powers of logic, science and compassion will meld on their quest for victory, survival and ultimately, peace in the universe.

...for a new Trek series, despite my complete apathy for anything to do with the Klingons and their subtitled whining.
The cast turns in sold performances, particularly Jason Isaacs, and it's all good enough to have me back in January for Season 2.

Well-acted, well-shot, suspenseful and some of the best cloak and dagger films out there. And the 4K transfers are lovely.
While the last two films in the series don't quite live up to the original trilogy they're certainly worth a watch.

I had a previous set of Netgear Powerline that lasted without fail for 16 years. It was simply time to upgrade, so I purchased a new set with a new router.
These work well and as they should. The outlet that is now a component of the Netgear unit is convenient and, in my case necessary.
As these are designed, they pretty much have to be placed in the bottom socket of the outlet. The problem is that the powerline unit blocks the grounding plug of the upper outlet.
If you have something to plug in the top outlet that doesn't have a ground? Great. Otherwise the top socket is unusable.
Work as they should, just not designed as well as they could be.

It sure is.
March 14, 2019
When it's "Plugged in, not charging" and the battery is draining, yes, it's a problem, particularly when I have had laptops and Chromebooks for decades and have never before had this issue.
If it were plugged in, not charging, and the needle didn't move, I'd still have the laptop.
And, for $400, it's hardly worth taking the chance. You may have that to waste on a product that may well have to keep going back and forth to the refurb shop; not everyone does.
