Bought this on sale but even at full price this is a no brainer since you get access to all Microsoft first party games as they are released. Even if you only decide to download two games a year this pays for itself.

Open World Excellence
on November 17, 2018
Posted by: Wayne
from Western Mass
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rockstar has proven yet again they are the king of open world games. The open world in this game is so inviting with so many things to do it almost overshadows the missions. The main thing about this game though is you really need to get into a mindset comfortable with the slower pace of this game. Otherwise you might think it's boring, etc. but that's just because we have so many twitch shooters out there that gamers have been force fed fast action games and when a slower paced game like this comes along they have a hard time adjusting. But don't fall into that trap, let yourself acclimate to the speed of this game and it will pay off in spades!

Great for light activity use
on November 11, 2018
Posted by: Wayne
from Western Mass
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use the activity tracking function of this watch only for a few hours a week and with that amount of use this watch is perfect. I've shut off the auto light-on function since I found I really didn't need it and I'm getting about 7 to 8 days of use before I have to recharge which is fantastic. I didn't really need or want a full-blown smart watch that's much more expensive and I found this watch to be perfectly suited to my needs. I was mostly interested in the heart rate tracking and I found that even though I didn't buy the watch for being able to check text messages and incoming phone calls, those turned out to be pretty handy features. I found some great watch faces for it on the Garmin Connect app and also love the fact that the display is always on. It may not have the higher resolution full-color displays that some of the more expensive smart watches do, but it still has a nice crisp display that I am perfectly fine with. So I would say that all in all it's a great watch, especially if your activity use is on the lighter side.

Great game - dubious pricing

Verified Purchase:Yes
All in all Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection is a great game. But this is my first purchase of a Destiny product so I did not get nickled and dimed to death like anyone who bought Destiny 2 from the start and then upgraded over time, having to pay again and again to get the same content that I did with this purchase. If you did that then you got very much taken advantage of by Activision and Bungie unfortunately. I only took off one star for that fact but I probably should have taken off more?

Overall great racing
on August 18, 2018
Posted by: Wayne
from Western Mass
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much improved content for single player racing with current updates so keep that in mind when reading earlier reviews. Great driving physics for the most part, some cars do behave like they are heavier than they really are. AI for competition is hit or miss. Sometimes they will go off the track or mess up which is great, but they will also slam their brakes on right in front of you and engage in behavior that would get them kicked out of a race if they were real players. It has been like this for ages and shame on Polyphony for not addressing this obvious flaw with opponent car AI. But that's just nit picking, all in all a really fun racing game and looks fantastic on PS4 Pro in 4K and HDR.

Better sound quality than I was expecting at this price point, bought it on sale for $40. Picked this up to use primarily with my PC but will use with PS4 when the need arises. Was impressed with the surround sound capabilities. Mic works well. Has a comfortable fit and nice breath-ability of the ear pads. For the price you can't go wrong.

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

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!

One more thing...2 USB-C ports!
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.

See your TV as a work of art with a barely-there bezel and zero gap between screen and wall.~ The new evo display takes OLED to an even brighter level with over 8 million pixels, LG's most advanced AI 4K processor and hands-free voice control for uncompromising performance. Only on OLED.
If you use the GX stand (2020 model), GX OLED TV Stand Mount on the 65" G1, how many inches apart are the legs, measured from the outside edges of the legs? I need to see if it will fit on my current TV stand, thanks.

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.

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.
