Contrary to what Zagg states; this protector completely interfered with my biometic, finger print reader. I was actually shocked - considering the price. Installation was easy with the included 'centering frame' and getting in on with out any bubbles & dust was a breeze. But losing (and not being able to reprogram...) the biometric function of my S25 Edge was an absolute NO GO!

HP Comes of Age

Verified Purchase:Yes
HP has evolved... in very good ways. Their software suite, which has been around for far too long, is finally being replaced with much lighter and intuitive apps. This alone is a good reason to check out HP again for a new PC. Their old Support app was annoying & clunky!
Beyond that, the build quality of this OmniBook X Flip is phenomenal! The keyboard is much better than I anticipated and the display is beyond vibrant. The port selection is perfect and weight distribution is perfect.
This laptop strikes the right balance between price & performance... when on sale. Give it a look!

I've always like Razer build quality when it comes to their mice but the Synapse software has always been buggy and error prone. That has recently changed with Version 4 and completely transformed the user experience.
Now with rock solid software, I cannot recommend this mouse enough. The build quality is right up there with the best of them, the aesthetics are controlled without being too blingy (IMHO) and when on sale, this mouse is an absolute steal! The quality of the shrouded cable is SO good you'll forget you're not using a wired mouse.
To me, this is the perfect right-handed mouse when a thumb rest is required. Just buy it!

Bad Design
on October 27, 2024
Posted by: YourMainDude
Verified Purchase:Yes
As many have pointed out, the Glorious Core software is buggy. What I'd add is that whoever conjured up the graphical DPI setting section for mice devices really dropped the ball. No sliders and no verbose display of what DPI you are picking. You end up having to guess and then before you know it - you've created a stack of DPI settings that need to be deleted. I was actually shocked seeing such a bad implementation from Glorious of all companies.
But the real problem with the Model I 2 is in the lateral play and slop of the left & right button switch plates. The Glorious D's & O's don't suffer from this oversight. But on the I 2, these parts are loose with respect to both Z axis play and lateral (side-to-side) motion, thereby contributing to a lack of precision and being prone to rattling. Contacting Glorious support proved useless. Avoid this model until Glorious addresses the inherent mechanical design issues with this ultra light.

IPv6 Issues
on December 5, 2023
Posted by: YourMainDude
With Comcast/Xfinity, 1 Gbit service, this UBER expensive 2-piece kit is not worth it. I've demonstrated to Netgear how this Orbi system does not maintain reliable & consistent IPv6 addressing on the internet - which is important not only for routing speed but can also impact cloud based services. Much like other WiFi 7 products introduced in 2023, this system is very preliminary - requiring many future firmware upgrades. That said - IPv6 RA handshaking is executed just fine with other manufacturers and I've demonstrated this ( in my home network environment ) with both Linksys and Qnap router products.
Spend your money elsewhere - the Orbi 970 is not well designed nor has it been adequately tested by Netgear. And before the NG social media, paid responders chime in here - I already have an open case with customer service. It is going on nearly 2 months with no fix.

Beast Mode...Best Buy Mode!
By spiral
So far so equipped with the correct rops. Something interested parties should know. 300 fps in Splinter Cell Black List. This game has no frame gen tech, that is pure power. Completely maxed graphics 175watts. Nice! PubG maxed graphics, 300 fps, no fake frames here 150watts. I tried to get this beast above 230watts. Cyberpunk, maxed everything, ray trace/ path trace. Wouldn't budge for the watts, yes the fps tanked. My point is, I'm wondering what programs were running when the 12VHPR over heated on the cards that have been reported with such problems. For informational purposes, im running a Montech titan 80+platinum psu 1000watts. It has atx3.1 and pcie5. Will this make a difference, time will tell.
The card comes with an anti sag rod. Not thrilled with it, but it has a magnetic bottom so it wont shift around to easily if you need to move the case. The card was definitely packaged well. I actually snagged an Areo first but needed to wait a bit longer so i canceled that one. It was either white or grey and this card looks awesome in grey. Reminds me of Tomb Raider 2 when Lara took over the Hanger with the plane!
Card stays cool barely hit 60c with Cyberpunk maxed the way it explained earlier. Super sweet!
Interested buyers, get the bestbuy app, save every card you're interested in, to your favs and look them over early in the morning, 4-6am, i snagged my card this way. The blue, "see details", is a possible indicator for in-stock or nearby items. Had some cash back reward and got this card for MSRP and it's a beast and the 5080 is not necessary. Upgraded from an, :( EVGA o7, 2060 super.
Honorable mention!
As always, Best Buy for the win!
Seriously, the fact they let customers login, pre-purchase these hard to come by stock, in some cases, results in same day pickup, customer focused, 1000%. Cant say that for the micro place.
Enjoy the pictures. The case is NZXT H6 flow.

Great Smart Lock with a Few Quirks
By UnkinB
I recently installed the Yale Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt (Black Suede, Wi-Fi, Keypad with Key) and overall, I’m very impressed. It’s a sleek, modern smart lock that adds both style and security to my home. Here are my thoughts:
Pros: Multiple Unlock Options: Keypad, app, Auto-Unlock, and voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit). Remote Access: Control and monitor the lock from anywhere using the Yale Access App. Auto-Lock Feature: Automatically locks the door when it closes—great for peace of mind. Easy Installation: Took about 20 minutes with just a screwdriver. Clean Design: The keypad is illuminated and fingerprint-resistant, and the lock looks great on the door.
Cons: App Setup Could Be Smoother: No “skip” option during setup walkthroughs, which was a bit annoying. Bulky Interior Unit: The inside part of the lock is larger than expected. Limited to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: Doesn’t support 5 GHz networks and only works in the U.S. and Canada. Keypad Behavior: You have to press a confirmation button after entering your code—would prefer auto-unlock after the last digit.
If you're looking for a reliable smart lock with great features and remote access, this is a solid choice. Just be aware of the regional limitations and the slightly bulky design. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone upgrading their home security.

Spend a few extra bucks on an actual smartlock
By Jordan
If you are thinking about a smart lock, and are on a budget, the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt is a good option to consider.
When we purchased our home, there was already an existing smartlock. Unfortunately, it was a smartlock from a rental company, so we didn't have what we needed to make personalized changes. So, I explored options and knew that I did not want to change back to a traditional lock.
The opportunity came up to try the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt, so I went for it. To start, you don't really get much from an entry level lock like this. I think you are barely getting the bare minimum from a lock like this. So, keep that in mind when shopping for something like this.
One of the biggest setbacks from this is you don't get any app control. This means that there is no bluetooth or wifi connectivity available. You are really only getting a code access lock and a key for backup. If you are wondering if there is a way to turn this into a wifi enabled lock...there isn't. This isn't like a true smart-lock from Yale that has a slot for the wifi module. So, you can't convert it over to a smart-lock.
Another downside is that this lock does NOT have a sensor for the automatic lock feature that most smart-locks come with. The Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt lock is just programmed to lock automatically after a few seconds, whether the door is closed or not. It really sucks shutting the door and not realizing that the striker is opened and the lock daamajing the door jamb. So, keep that in mind if you do dicide to purchase the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt .
Aside from this, the keypad is very responsive, but does feel a bit cheap. So far, I haven't had any issues getting the keypad to unlock.
In my opinion, I would just recommend that you spend teh extra bucks and go with a true smart-lock. The added benefits of a smart-lock are well worth the few extra dollars.

Horrible Review
August 25, 2025
This review is horrible because Yale offers a wide range of actual Smart Locks with IoT connectivity. This design is basic in functionality, is price accordingly and is for those that don't want a Smart Lock but rather, seek key-less convenience. This isn't actually a "Smart Lock" and rightfully so - because Yale doesn't even brand it as "Smart". A little bit of advanced research would have aided in your review... ; )

Great Deal, Mid-Range Performance
By AlessandroD
Don’t get me wrong — this laptop is super powerful, and you don’t have to worry about whether it’ll run next-gen games. The price is insanely good (I got mine for $999).
That said, performance-wise, it’s only around the level of an RTX 5060 Ti — which isn’t bad, but considering that a desktop 5060 Ti costs way less, it’s a bit disappointing. You can unlock undervolting to squeeze out a bit more performance and improve heat management, but it takes some tweaking and isn’t straightforward for everyone.
Other downsides include the screen being locked at 240 Hz, the battery lasting around four hours or less depending on what you’re doing, and formatting? Forget it. The BIOS has VMD enabled — and the worst part? It’s hidden. You’ll need to go into the BIOS and press Ctrl + S to deactivate it.
Fan and heat management could definitely be better out of the box, but honestly, you get what you pay for. As for the speakers… I could probably buy better ones on SHEIN or AliExpress.
Overall, I’m not complaining — it’s been a great deal from the start, and I don’t plan on changing laptops for the next 5–8 years. Final score: 7/10.

Heighten your gaming experience with this VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics card. The NVIDIA Turing architecture incorporates real-time ray tracing and AI features for enhanced realism, and the 8GB of memory supports peak resolutions and frame rates. Dual-axial 13-blade fans and a vapor chamber keep this NVIDIA GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics card cool and quiet.
 

Will this PCI Express 3.1 x16 card work in PCI Express 3.0x16 slot? Limitations?

3.1 specs are presented to make this card - what they call - future proof. That said, saturating a PCI 3.0 link isn't even a thing yet - 3.1 is simply a marketing push. Believe it or not, this card performs just as well at 3.0 x 8 as it does if allowed to link at 3.0 x 16.

The image for this card shows a DVI-D connector. The specifications only lists HDMI and DisplayPort. I need DVI-D and have found adapters to not work or provide sub par resolutions. Which is accurate? Pic or Specs?

You should always double check the manufacturer specs on their website. The 2070 Founders Edition does have a DVI connector. I purchased mine from Best Buy.

Get in the game and keep up with all the action on this Logitech gaming keyboard. The slim design fits easily with gaming setups, while LED backlit RGB mechanical keys are programmable to meet specific gaming styles. Multi-key rollover turns every shot or battle maneuver into a single motion. The cylindrical key shape of this Logitech gaming keyboard provides an easy touch and effortless interaction.
 

Is the carbon model tactile or linear keys? Which one is best buy selling?

I've only seen the 'Clicky' version available. Seems like Best Buy is continuing down the path of limiting their product/inventory commitments. I guess that happens when you are still closing store locations...
