Luci Pro Solar Powered Light
By Jamie
Well, This is my first time using this product. I purchased it for the Hurricane that is suppose to hit this Weekend.
So far I found it did not come with any instructions so I was confused how it works and how I am suppose to charge it.
I have no idea how much Charge it has or the level of charge.
The other thing is I needed it to charge my iphone 7 Plus but it came with the wrong Charging Cable.
It is just a USB on both sides.
The Best Buy Tech told me it would charge my iphone.
So I was disappointed.
But I will give it a Try.

RE: USB
October 13, 2020
Yes it comes with a double ended USB cable because you need to provide your own charging cable from your device and your USB end will not fin in the Luci Pro you have to use theirs to bridge the cables

Not really Outdated
January 19, 2021
This is not really outdated it has been replaced by the newer $79 SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) model which is still really the same hardware but it is dark grey case now. NetGear still sells the older Blue model on their own website the only thing that has changed in the status of this product is that there is no longer Lifetime-Limited Warranty it is now on a 3 year Warranty. So Best Buy just needs to update that info.

Nice looking but the foam is cheap and loses shape
By NYCTech
BUYER BEWARE...Looks great and was easy enough put together BUT and this is a BIG BUT... the foam they use in this chair is no good just after 1 week of use it is permanently dented. First the foam is firm and hard then over time it loses is shape my right armrest is now permanently dented where my elbow rests and its not just a little dent it is flat in that spot and its not like I was leaning on it with all my weight. My son's cheaper Staples Gaming chair uses a much better foam that does not lose its shape. They should be using a memory foam in these chairs for the price they are charging.

Update
February 18, 2021
OK the armrest is completely uncomfortable and useless now. My first mistake was not returning this to Best Buy after that first week I had 45 days to do so. So now because this chair has a 2 year warranty I am going to try and contact Arozzi support and see about replacing the armrests as both are flat and the right side armrest is almost completely flattened where I can now feel the bolts underneath digging into my arm. The the gaming chair I got for my son from Staples for $99 has way better foam in it and two years later still soft and keeps is shape.

You don~t want to be sitting at your desk all day ~ not only is it uncomfortable, but it~s also unhealthy. Make work more comfortable with the Insignia Adjustable Standing Desk with Electronic Control - 47.2". Equipped with powered controls, you can easily raise the desk 19.7 inches to a standing position and lower it again when you need a break. Whether you are working from the office or at home, a sleek black design looks great with most d~cor. Keep your space looking organized with cable ties that manage your cords. Now you can stay active while working, without having to change locations.

Great Specs, Flawed Design!
By ForeverMeek2012
My Alienware Aurora R7 desktop 1080 GPU was found defective and covered by Best Buy's GSP, hence, I purchased the Aurora R10 as a replacement. Below are the pro(s) and con(s) of the Aurora R10,
Pro(s)
* I/O ports (i.e. USB heaven)
* 6800XT
* Ryzen 7
Con(s)
* Design (it's so cramped inside the R10 that even with liquid cooling, the system still gets hot). I don't know what Dell's engineers thinking designing the PSU the way they did.
I would not recommend this!

Terrible
By Godzillafu
After almost no use, and within 2 months of purchase, the head set failed to connect to the mic. I went to razer tech support site, seems this is an issue with the usb dongle. Even in the razer synapses ect, it would crash when click on the head set. I tried everything I could search and tried all possible solutions on the net and nothing helped. Worst money I ever spent.

RE: Razer Synapse problem
February 5, 2023
For Razer Synapse problem I had the same issue but I found if you uninstalled ALL the Razer software then reinstalled it that fixes those problems....and as I added more Razer Chroma capable devices I had to do the same....like I bought the Headset stand and when I tried to program the colors in Chroma the Synapse kept crashing every few seconds after I tried to change things BUT after Uninstall ALL Razer software and reinstall it worked fine.

With real-time tracking, GPS, parking mode, and push notifications, you~ll have instant alerts. Impact sensing ensure you never miss a critical event, even when parked. Customize to your preference by mounting the rear camera to capture either the rear view or the cabin.
 

Does this also have an internal battery in addition to being powered by the car battery? Because I would hate for my car battery to be dead if it has not been driven in a while and this cam is draining its power.

The Insignia Wheel Stand is the ideal solution for racing in front of the TV on your PlayStation, PC or Xbox. The thoughtful and innovative design of this racing wheel stand allows you to mount pedals, shifter and wheel in an ergonomic and realistic racing position while gaming. When not in use, the stand can be folded up and stored out of the way..
 

Anyone try this out with a Flight Stick, throttle, and rudder pedals. It seems like it should be compatible and a nice set up to play Star Wars Squadrons with my Logitech X56 H.O.T.A.S.flight stick and throttle and my Logitech Flight Rudder Pedals.?

Does the battery is long last?

Its a loaded question really BUT if you are talking while gaming it really depends on the game if it is a very CPU and graphicly heavy game you will not get 4 hours out of it more like between 2-3 hours. People forget these are not really meant to be mobile gamers they are more for people that are space conscious or that like to game on business trips in their hotels. You cant just put one of these on your lap or in bed and play as you will end up blocking the underside vents and shorted the life of it becuase you will be keeping the heat in

do you match prices from other competitors? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/memory-and-storage/memory-and-storage-hard-drives/78091021

Only certain competitors look on their price match guarantee page https://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/price-match-guarantee/pcmcat290300050002.c?id=pcmcat290300050002 OR on theBest Buy webpage on the bottom left look under Orders & Purchases heading you will see "Price Match Guarantee". Personally I use Amazon to price match but it has to be "Sold by Amazon" not a 3rd party Vendor same goes for New Egg or any other retailor you are price matching from that also has 3rd party vendors.

The spec says that there is water cooling. Can you give more precise info about the cooling(eg. intakes, outputs, rads)?

You will find a lot of bad reviews about the A10 and how it still runs hot with water cooling but if you add a case fan then the temps are good. You would think Dell would have included the case fan to begin with instead of you having to go out and ad your own.
