Great value, meets my needs

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice, speedy little laptop that does all I need it to. It’s not as fancy or versatile as a Yoga, but when weighing the two (both literally and figuratively) this model came out on top in almost every way. It’s fast, lightweight, has a good size screen, and has adequate RAM and storage. It’s probably not for gamers or for those using high-intensity photo or video editing programs, but for your basic user, this should work great.
Battery life is average—you’re not likely to get the high end with consistent use—three to four hours seems to be the norm for me. Unless you’re prepared to use a very dim monitor and run a single program at a time, I wouldn’t expect too much here.
I’ve had this device for about a month now, and it’s still quick as can be. Can’t say how it will hold up long term, but so far so good.

Experience high-definition movie and gaming performance from this 49-inch 4K Samsung smart television. The auto game mode switches settings for gaming performance as needed, and the Bixby Voice control gets answers, finds programs and operates smart home devices. This Samsung smart television has built-in 40W 4.1-channel sound to immerse you in the action.

Superb, but with minor caveats

Want a terrific television with great picture, color balance, true blacks, and tons of bells and whistles? Look no further. All in all, this TV is excellent. Great picture (and I haven't even used 4K yet) and the Smart System has the ability to add just about any "apps" for HBO, Netflix, Hulu and other programming options. I'd intended to pick up a 4K AppleTV, but I may not have a need for one--especially if more 4K movies and shows come available to stream.
Where this TV lacks is in its intuitiveness. The remote has only a few buttons on it, and I still haven't figured out how to adjust the volume, but it's not terribly simple. That said, there is a companion 'Smart Things" app that the TV has you download upon installation, and it includes a remote for your phone or other device which includes a volume and channel option. In those areas that you may find yourself frustrated or confused, there is almost always a work-around.
One important feature (for me) on this TV is the stand. I have no idea why Samsung and others insist upon using the cheap, plastic end stands for their televisions, but they're often worthless--unless, of course, you want to buy yourself a new entertainment unit/TV stand at the same time. I'm using a 34" wide TV stand for this television and I've got about 4" to spare, so figure the base measures 30" or so.
Again, great TV, just a few hiccups and a learning curve.

Functional, but expensive

I was looking for a simple protective case for my iPhone 7. This fit the bill, but my options were fairly limited in-store. The case itself feels like a hybrid plastic/silicon. Some of the buttons are a bit rigid and difficult to manage, but I assume these will loosen with time. The hardest part is accessing the mute switch, which sits deep inside the case. Those with larger fingers may have a difficult time. If the case protects my phone as well as it claims, it will be worth the price, but it doesn't seem to offer a ton of protection. As such it seemed a bit pricy for what you get. For $30, you're already almost halfway to a full-on Lifeproof or Otterbox case that will provide a waterproof, shockproof experience. Oh--and the material is not terribly conducive to adhering pop sockets to, so if that's something you're considering, this may not be the best case for you.

Energizer batteries typically have great life, and the price for this 2-pk was excellent. The only oddity is that the 2032 battery is identical in size and shape as the 2025--make sure not to get them confused!

Functionality takes a little getting used to.

I can't deny that I love Apple products. The Apple Watch is no different. There's quite a lot that can be done with this little wonder, but there is a bit of a learning curve--its not as simply intuitive as the phone. The crown functionally take some getting used to. I did purchase the watch with cellular, but my current carrier doesn't support this (I made the purchase with the intention of changing carriers), so I cannot yet comment on cellular capability.
The activity rings seem to be off a little bit, but they still give you at least some idea where you are in relation to other days. It's really nice to know how many calories you've burned for the day. And the reminders to stand and breathe and move are handy. If nothing else, it might guilt you into getting off your rump for a bit.
There are some neat little features for navigation, and you can control your iPhone's playlist, as well as your Apple TV with the watch as well. Weather apps are terrific.
Still could use some more apps, but those will come with time and updates. And battery life (typically about two days for me) could be better, but that's true of all Apple products at this time.
Even with the learning curve and it's minor downsides, it's a great purchase. You won't be disappointed. (At least until Siri has a stroke and navigates you to an airport instead of your favorite Best Buy!)

Required for installation

Another nickel-and-dime-ya required purchase if you intend to have your washer/dryer installed but the folks from BB. They will not work with your existing vent kit regardless of how new or pristine it may be. The product works just fine, no problems, it just seems a little absurd that these items don't come with all of the necessary parts to function.

How convenient.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Your existing hoses might be in perfect condition, but be prepared to fork out a few more bucks if you're having the units installed. BB will not perform an install with older hoses, so you're essentially obligated to buy them (or do it yourself, which isn't that difficult, but it's the principle of the thing...) Item works fine, no problems, but I'm going to bet that the hoses we had would have worked just fine as well.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

This just seems silly.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I know that this is how it's done, but it really does seem more than a little bizarre that all of the parts (including the CORD) would not be included with the actual washer/dryer itself. If I'm not getting a complete out-of-the-box, ready-to-go unit, then what exactly am I paying for? A conversation piece it is not. In any case, be prepared to tack on another $20 to have a functional dryer. I recommend only because you have no choice!

Reps did a great job with both the installation of the washer and dryer. They were on time, courteous, and knew their stuff. They were in and out in maybe fifteen minutes. Did a great job, no leaks, no damage to walls, etc. Highly recommend.

Very pleased with the Best Buy installation service. We'd sold our machines so nothing needed to be hauled away, but the reps were careful and hooked everything up with no problems at all. I think they were in and out in maybe fifteen minutes. Twenty tops. Appreciated the great service.

One card, millions of ways to enjoy it. Use the App Store & iTunes Gift Card to get apps, games, music, movies and TV shows. Available in a variety of denominations - spend it on in-app content, books, TV show subscriptions or even iCloud storage to secure files from all your Apple devices.
May I know how long will 100 dollars ITune card last please in years months and days hours and minutes, if buying it 100 dollars to use it?
This is impossible to say, because it depends on what you're planning to use it for. For example, an Apple Music subscription is 9.99/month, so $100 will last you nearly a year (once you figure in taxes, etc) if you use it for nothing else. Cloud storage options are also paid monthly and there are also plenty of opportunities to buy/rent movies, purchase music, in-app purchases for games. It's really nothing so much as like having $100 available to buy a wide variety of products, and it just depends on how much you purchase, how often, and how expensive it is. I have Apple Music, and Cloud Storage, and purchase the occasional in-app content, so for me, $100 would probably last me about four or five months. Your own milage will vary based on your needs or wants.
The good news is that the funds never expire. So as long as you don't spend it all, the money remains in your iTunes account indefinitely.
TL;DR--It depends on how fast you spend it!
