an excellent device, but needs a better battery
on September 22, 2023
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Love the watch - supported functions, looks, weight, size -- all are great, EXCEPT its battery life... this is still a new toy to me so I mess with all kinds of functions and settings all through the day, and in such frequent-usage case, I am having to recharge the watch at most after 36 hours (usually I end up recharging every 30 or so hours). Before this I had a Garmin device - it would last almost a week w/o me having to recharge it.
But still, I am very happy with this watch, do recommend it, and would buy it again myself.

Best phone I've used

Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best phone I've had yet. So many config options, and all are intuitive. Google assistant is so powerful. It now has a mode where you no longer have to say "hello google" first, and can also do things on the phone via voice, not by clicking.

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.

Track your heart rate and exercise with this Garmin GPS watch. It has activity profiles installed to help you plan workouts, and it's water-resistant up to 100m for swimming. This Garmin GPS watch has a battery life of 14 days in smart watch mode so you can wait longer between charges.

Looks nice, great battery, very light
on February 10, 2023
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got it just to not have a second device to use when running or biking. It's been great as a watch and as a gps based activity meter. Display brightness/contrast even in direct sunlight is great. Gps accuracy is not top notch for sure, but still accurate enough not to be bothered by the range of variations even for 7 miles run (my guess it will be good enough for longer distances too for most people). Overall I'm happy with this model. A single feature it lacks that I definitely miss is no support for Alexa voice commands. But so far I still had no desires to look for another model (which also would be more expensive).

Handy as any Alexa. But also looks cool in the car. Also, it has a small built-in speaker of its own, when you don't feel like messing around getting blu-tooth car-connection enabled to use car speakers.

Marvel at amazing contrast and clarity with this 43-inch Sony X800H 4K Android smart TV. The 4K HDR Processor X1 and TRILUMINOS display deliver precise, lifelike color reproduction, while two 10W X-balanced speakers deliver powerful well-balanced sound. This Sony X800H 4K Android smart TV works with popular virtual assistants for hands-free control.

great TV as a Monitor
on May 9, 2021
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this after reading reviews of 43" TVs that work well as computer monitor.
This one looks AWESOME, right out of the box, before I even tried to adjust the settings. (I tried my 3yo 43" 4K Insignia, the cheapest 43" 4K I could find back then, and using that as a monitor was not even close to using this specific Sony TV).
Love my new, huge, 4K computer monitor!
Will update the review once I also use it as a TV.

great sound and ANC quality
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent BT sound quality. ANC works great, too. And it also including an "ambient mode" where it actually BRINGS the external sounds in, which is very useful if you are talking to other people with these on, or talking on the phone.
However, the 3.5mm wired-connection jack did NOT work... I tried 2 different cables and 2 different source devices, and also a different headphones pair - it's definitely the 3.5 connector in this unit... considering exchanging it. But am definitely happy with the sound quality and ANC functionality! Definitely recommend!

Majorly Disappointed

Turns out this drive has only 115GB available to actually use. Yes, on sale but be prepared to lose 13GB.

hahaha = no, it's all good, man - that's just how the advertisement industry works - it's always like that and is not an issue with this specific drive. In computer terms, 1 GB is 1024 MB, but advertisers figured a long time ago that they can just use a layman notion of 1 Gig is 1000 Megs - that's why you see this difference in what they advertise and what your computer tells you. Hope this helps. You were NOT cheated :)

Hi! I have a 1 Gbs Fiber AT&T connection and must use their ARRIS BGW210 modem(+router+wifi) box. Looking for an advice on how to reconfigure AT&T BGW210 box to get it out of the picture (as much as possible) and get the most from this Linksys AC3000 box?

What is the MB/s write speed? Your specs show 3400 MB/s read speed, but nothing about the write speed!

I have seen it go over 2200, and I have a 7yo motherboard and CPU. So I would guess it can actually write a lot faster

Found the answer - I need to switch my AT&T box to "IP Passthrough" mode! Then I plug my new router into that AT&T box and my router gets the public/WAN IP and does all the work for handling my home network. FINALLY got rid of that AT&T thing (I hated it - it won't even let you set your own DNS IPs and forces you to use AT&T's - I confirmed that fact with AT&T support)

Here are the details for reconfiguring AT&T box:
