Great fast and very small portable 4TB SSD. Bought it to regularly back up my PC's C: drive, a Samsung 9100 Pro 4TB NVMe drive. Cloned the 9100 Pro with about 1TB of data on it to the X10 and it only took about 7 1/2 minutes to complete. Now THAT's what I'm talking about! :-)

Wireless charging for the win!
on August 14, 2025
Posted by: Wayne
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a new mouse and since I had the G900 and loved it, the G903 Lightspeed was the obvious choice for an upgrade. I noticed in the description about the G903 being compatible with something called Powerplay which I was not familiar with. Turns out it is a wireless charging mouse pad and I thought that was a fantastic idea, having the freedom of a cordless mouse and at the same time never having to plug in a cable to charge it. So I picked up the Powerplay 2 mouse pad along with the G903 and it's a fantastic combination! It's been keeping the mouse charged anywhere between 88 and 95% charged at all times. Highly recommend!

I had the original version of this mouse, the G900 that was getting a little worn out after nine years and losing battery life but I really liked it so I was very happy to see that this G903 Lightspeed mouse has the exact same physical design but with updated modern internal components that gives the mouse faster response time and lower latency than the G900 and I can really tell the difference, it's great!

Excellent smart light switch
on July 14, 2025
Posted by: Wayne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this smart light switch to replace my Wemo smart light switch that is now annoyingly no longer supported. They say Matter enabled devices like these will eliminate that problem from happening in the future, we shall see.
One thing I have to note is that when connecting this to Google Home, selecting Matter Compatible device when adding it and scanning the QR code did not work, it could not be detected. So I started over and selected the Works with Google Home option and picked Tapo from the list and this light switch and two Tapo TP-Link outlets I had also just added were all seen and instantly added to Google Home and are all working perfectly, with both the Tapo app and Google Home.
One other thing I thought was a nice touch is you can control the little ring light, it displays on the switch itself to make the switch easier to locate, as to when it displays. I think it was really done so you could have the light off at night if it was used in a bedroom and maybe the light bothered you. But it is so dim I doubt that would ever be an issue. However I use it for just the opposite reason because I have it in my dining room. I have it on a schedule so that the little light only comes on at night since you don't really need it during the day. Just the fact that they give you that level of control of such a small thing tells me a lot of thought went into the design of not only the hardware but the controlling software as well. Nice work Tapo.

I haven't played with any of the My Team/Story elements of the game yet, just racing. The graphics are little bit better from last year's version, and the opponent AI is more realistic even though it still gets wonky from time to time. You can drive a few of the tracks in reverse now which I'll probably try once or twice and then forget about. And they've used lidar for more accurate mapping on some of the courses with more coming in future updates. I do like the improvement in handling as well. All in all a nice upgrade over last year's game.

Excellent 4K Blu Ray/SACD player
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: Wayne
Verified Purchase:Yes
My old Oppo Blu Ray/SACD player finally bit the dust and I needed a replacement and this Sony UBP-X800M2 player fit the bill nicely. 4K Blu Rays look and sound great and SACDs sound just as awesome as they did with the Oppo. Plus it's a nice graphics upgrade since the Oppo only supported 1080P.
The UI is a little clunky and you have to switch Dolby Vision on and off manually as needed because it doesn't do it for you automatically, which is a minor annoyance. And speaking of minor annoyances, if you have a disk in the drive, every time you turn the player on, it takes a few seconds to recognize and initialize the disk before it will allow you to play it. Even if it's the same disk that was in there the last time you used it.
But those annoyances aside, I can easily give this a five-star rating as the picture and sound quality are stellar for this price.

Nice size for travel. It has taken me some time to adjust to differences in it and a Windows laptop. I'm not happy that there is no 'Delete' button. Also, I can't seem to get a larger font for typing things like this or in boxes on other sites. Overall, I like it.

Alt-Backspace will delete!
April 6, 2019
I also didn't like the fact that the keyboard didn't have a delete key on it but I looked up the keyboard shortcuts for this Chromebook and found out that if you hold down the Alt key when pressing the Backspace key it will then delete characters to the right of the cursor, working just like a normal delete key. Very handy!

Don't overfill the tank
February 9, 2020
I found that if you overfill the tank with slightly too much water, it will leak. Fill it just below the top and you should be fine.

3 out of 5Disappointing Sound, Great 4k@120Hz Passthrough
By CNev
This receiver is good for video, but doesn't deserve the hype it's received. I bought this on my 4k 120Hz Home Theater update and am pretty disappointed. My setup is now: LG C2 77, NR7100 in 5.1.2 configuration, Paradigm front speakers, Yamaha center and surround speakers (until I find some I like more), and Onkyo front Atmos speakers (all with 12 guage wire), PS5, XSX, Switch OLED, VR & Home Theater PC with RTX 2070 (to be updated to 30/40 series later this year). Cables are all certified HDMI 2.1 cables from Cable Matters and Infinite Cables - all support full features and tested at 48Gbps bandwidth.
The good: Excellent video passthrough and build quality, clean design, great GUI, lots of inputs and dual outputs. I also appreciate the front input as I like to hook up other things at random and this way I don't need to get behind the receiver for a simple/short-term add-on.
The bad: (1) I had trouble with getting all the features of my Xbox Series X and PS5 out of the box. By default, all inputs and outputs are set to "4k enhanced" and this limits available features. In order to use VRR/ALM/4k@120Hz you need to adjust the inputs you're using AND the output to the TV to "8k enhanced." (2) You can dim the front display, but you can't turn it off completely or have it turn off after a set timeout period. This kind of ruins the immersion when watching dark movies in a dark room. (3) I would have appreciated a cleaner front design and a cover for front I/O). (4) THE FAN is ALWAYS going. It's loud. It's scratchy. It's ANNOYING and I can hear it whenever the receiver is off - my WFH setup is 15ft away from my HT setup and I can hear it all the time while working at my desk. They used a crappy PC-style fan. IF I keep this, I will swap the fan with a silent Noctua fan instead.
The ugly: Here's my one major gripe and it's a doozy. Sound is hollow and low. I'm coming from a MUCH lower powered receiver, the Marantz NR-696, and somehow this is not only QUIETER (lower at the same levels and much lower maximum volume), but the sound is lacking/hollow. I'll be re-evaluating after making some config changes, but, as much as this receiver cost, I'm really disappointed and will likely be returning it.
Final Thoughts: There should have been more though put into the pre-configured settings of this receiver. Having to modify the input and output bandwidth was a big headache and caused me a lot of frustration.

Annoying fan noise...
June 3, 2022
You mentioned the annoying fan noise and I'm confused when you say that you hear it when the unit is powered off. Normally if a receiver has a fan, it is not running when the receiver is off or on standby so I just wanted to be clear, you are saying that the fan is ALWAYS running? Even when the receiver is off or on standby? Just makes no sense to me why they would have the fan running if the unit was off or on standby and not generating any heat. Thanks

5 out of 5Excellent 14" Chromebook
By Wayne
Very impressed with this Chromebook. This is a rocket ship compared to the old 11.5" Asus Chromebook I had previously. Bright, crisp HD graphics, fast performance with its upgraded 13th Gen i5 Intel CPU and fast SSD makes this thing sing. Love the Gorilla Glass screen, makes for nice super smooth scrolling on the responsive touch-screen. The games I've played so far run buttery smooth. Also love the back-lit keyboard for when I'm using it in low-light conditions. For a smaller Chromebook like this, the upgraded DTS audio sounds great. And the fact it came with its own nice padded sleeve is just icing on the cake. Yes, this Acer Chromebook is more expensive then most other 14" Chromebooks but with all its features I found it to be easily worth every penny. Nice work Acer!

December 23, 2023
One more very handy feature I forgot to mention: Love the fact that this Chromebook has TWO Thunderbolt 4 compatible USB-C ports, ONE ON EACH SIDE. So whichever side is most convenient for you for charging, etc., you are good to go! Very handy and thoughtful feature.

When you are ready to trim, plug the trimmer into charge and unplug when ready to use for cordless convienience.
How long does it take to fully charge ?
Because this uses the older type Ni-Cad rechargeable battery you should charge it for 12 hours for a full charge. This also means you should use it until it is obvious it needs to be recharged and then fully charge it. Don't charge it before it needs it due to the memory effect Ni-Cad batteries suffer from. (Note: Best Buy specs for this state it uses Li-Ion battery which is incorrect.)

Maintain optimum oral health with the Sonicare Airfloss Pro. This electric flosser cleans between teeth by using a jet of compressed air combined with water or mouthwash. Customize the device's spray pattern with the single-, double- or triple-burst settings during the 60-second programmed routine.

Can this be used with crowns and bridges?
Here's a tip for you and anyone who is looking for answers on products here on Best Buy's website, and on most websites that allow you to review products as well. You can search reviews for information you are curious about by using the "Search customer reviews" box that is shown right above the first review.
So for example in your case if you type in "bridge" into the review search box and press enter you will see all reviews that have the word "bridge" in them. And you would find that the Sonicare AirFlosser indeed works very well for bridges, as my review mentions, as well as a few others. You can search for crowns the same way. Then you wouldn't have had to take the time to ask the question since you would have found the answer right away in the reviews. Nice!
The search feature is also available in the questions and answers section so you can search those too. VERY handy and helpful feature to be able to search reviews and questions. So many times you see the same question asked over and over again for a product that a simple search would show you that the question you have was already asked and answered! These search tools are provided to help you, use them!

Get behind the wheel in Dirt Rally 2.0 for the Xbox One. You can choose your car and racing environment, selecting from tracks in global destinations such as Spain, Poland and New Zealand, and expand your team and garage over time. Dirt Rally 2.0 lets you experience the thrill of the FIA World Rallycross Championships virtually.
Do you have to be online to play the career mode?
You need to be connected to XBox Live to get to the career mode section of the game unfortunately. And to be on XBox Live you obviously need to be online.
I pulled the network cable and booted up the console to see what would happen and when I fired up the game it would only let me access the "Free Play" part of the game, which does have some championships and time trials so you can still do a fair amount of racing, but the career section is disabled. It was also trying to log me into RaceNet but I never created an account and always skipped the login because I don't care about it. So you can be online but not logged into RaceNet and still have access to the full game.
