Finally, the floating Galaxy charger!
on April 25, 2025
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I always wanted a charging stand similar to the ones made for iphones, where you have a magnet holding your phone, suspended in the air while charging. This is perfect! It's made from quality materials, I haven't had any connection issues, it charges my Galaxy watch ultra, and it will charge Galaxy buds. The one issue I do have with it is it doesn't seem to charge other brand buds with wireless charge cases. Overall I'm very pleased.

Gold standard for on the go audio
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would call these the gold standard for on the go audio. Not necessarily for audio quality, there are better out there. For ANC and transparency modes they are unbeatable. I have used these connected to Apple products, Android products, and with Windows. You dont get all the features outside of the Apple ecosystem, but you do get touch controls on the buds and AAC streaming quality. I would also consider these the best audio Apple currently produces. These have the latest tech for processing that even the Airpods Max latest gen do not. It's clear that Apple considers these their flagship.

The GOAT of non-gaming laptops
on September 13, 2024
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
Incredible machine. I traded a 2021 M1 Max 16” for this one. It was the top standard spec like this one and I mainly use my MacBook Pro for photo editing, a little “light” gaming, and everyday stuff. I have done some programming also in the past and will be soon also. Overall, I’ve noticed a considerable improvement on this machine over my M1. It’s not revolutionary, but it was enough to justify the really awesome sale Best Buy has been running. This will easily last me 5 years or more. It’s pricy but wait on the sales and it’s a great buy.

I didnt realize…
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been slow to pick up VR. Im old enough to remember Virtual Boy by Nintendo and well lets just say it needed work. But innovative. When VR in the current era came around I watched but didnt engage because I am content with gaming on a screen. But when I began reading about Vision Pro that Apple is about to release I realized that Meta Quest 3 might be worth a shot for its price, and it will let me know if these companies are on to something. Well from the moment I turned this on I was captivated. To put it into words is hard, but lets just say that it blew my mind. The graphics aren’t stellar, but very good, the immersion is amazing though. Just setting up my little spaceship lobby was a blast. Then I started checking out the virtual social area. I walked into a concert and began a conversation with someone frim who knows where. It was really so much more immersive than using a headset on my consoles. Some if the games I’ve tried are addicting and I am excited for more. I am truly happy getting into this VR space. Meta is a great value to experience purchase. I am not sure about upcoming devices that will be much pricier but if you are looking to try VR, don’t hesitate getting this device

My movie of 2023

Amazing film. As someone that knows the story of Oppenheimer very well I was really excited to see this movie. I so enjoyed it I wanted to have the physical copy of it. The 4K version is very good and the soundtrack is immersive. I highly recommend seeing this on physical media vs streaming.

This narratively-driven, single player title picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal~s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness.

Another solid Jedi chapter
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am still a huge fan of Jedi: Fallen Order. It was satisfyingly a good length, had a great story, felt empowering and fun. This game carries one with the same fun, with some refinements to the control, some new moves, amd aanother great story, that adds an expansion to the High Republic era. I habent read the books uet but have been very interested in where that part of the SW storygpes. Overall this is a great game. It doesn't feel as long, but it's still complete.

Deepen your enjoyment of TV, music, and more with bold bass when you pair Sub Mini with Beam, Ray, One, or One SL. Place it anywhere in the room, breeze through setup with help from the Sonos app, and experience richer, more immersive sound without any buzz or rattle..

Takes the experience to another level
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have my Sonos Sub Mini configured with two Sonos Ones to create a complete stereo system. I intend to grow my system in the future, potentially with next generation speakers. I was always impressed with the all aroind profile of the Sonos Ones. For their size, they have a surprising amount of bass. Paired together that work with each other fantastically to being separation and centeredness. With the recent addition of the Sub Mini I have noticed a coiple of things. First, the low end frequencies just completely shone. It creates a huge foundation. The other thing I noticed though was how nuanced the Ones became. The mids and highs become more balanced and up front because the low frequencies load now goes to the much fuller Sub Mini. For its size, the Mini packs a lot of power. I was concerned that with its price and size that it would be underwhelming. It is a truly satisfying performance.

Amazing gaming mouse!
on December 9, 2022
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Naga V2 Pro is a really fun mouse for gaming. It provides many configurations, wireless and wired, 2, 6, or 12 button side configurations, and an app that allows for customizing lights, button modes, etc. the interchangeable plates on the side that allows for the 2, 6, and 12 button configurations have a solid magnetic connection and are super secure when in place. The buttons have a good click feel and the scroll wheel can be granular or smooth scrolling. There is even a button option to allow for speed control on the cursor. The ergonomic curve of the mouse feels good in the hand. The usb dongle can even be stored inside the mouse under the side plates. It only connects with one device at a time, unlike some mice that have three “slots” for three different devices. Otherwise this mouse is amazing for gaming as well as for everyday computing. It is compatible with Mac and windows, along with android and iOS/iPadOS.

Great value for decent and fast storage
on March 31, 2022
Posted by: Eric
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a reasonable amount of storage for upgrading an old MacBook. This SATA SSD was just right. It’s quick and gave new life to my old computer. Half a terabyte of storage was unheard of when this computer was released, not to mention that it was a spinning platter when it was new. This was a perfect upgrade.

My favorite Kindle
By Eric
I have a Kindle Voyage, a gen 1 Kindle Oasis, and now this 11th gen Paperwhite. Out of the three I’m liking this one the best. True that much of the improvements to this device came to the Oasis gen 2, but the asymmetric back of the oasis never really impressed me, the aluminum back is slick, and it just didn’t wow me for the $250+ price. This Paperwhite took all of the best features that came to the Oasis gen 2 and added wireless charging, a USB C port, and a screen size that is almost as large, and is less than $200. I’m sold. It’s a great reader! Fits well in the hand, has a great light, has the blue light feature for eye strain relief. It’s really my sweet spot.
Highly recommended!

Hi Tristan. I would say the biggest differences for me between this and Voyage are the screen and the speed. The screen on this is bigger, the light is more balanced and removing blue light is a game changer. The speed is night and day. Page turns, menus, downloads, power cycling. All much smoother and faster. This is slightly larger in overall dimensions compared to the Voyage, but it isn’t hard to hold or heavy. I also mentioned in the review that the Oasis form factor was not my favorite. This is similar to the Voyage, and why I kept the Voyage befor. So if you prefer the symmetric slab of the Voyage, this Paperwhite gives you essentially the Oasis experience in a slightly larger Voyage form factor. It’s definitely a great upgrade!

Can the pen operate the camera?

No, this is a direct replacement for the s-pen that comes with the S25 Ultra. Samsung has removed the Bluetooth features from it.

Only at Best BuyProvide a stable base and swivel function to your flat screen television with this Sanus swivel base for televisions up to 65 inches. The modern base provides cable management for a sleek look and offers a solid base for organizing soundbars and other components. This Sanus swivel base lets you turn your television 20 degrees in either direction.
 

Will this stand support LG OLED G1 tv?

I believe this is rated for up to 60 lbs. my 65” G1 is roughly 64 lbs. I would not recommend a G1 larger than 55” because the manufacturer will not likely honor the warranty if something is installed on it greater than that. I have a 42” C2 on it however and it’s great. The base is really heavy. I used the Kanto line than BB sells for my 65” G2. Works great also and is rated for up to an 80”.

Designed for your perfect grind, every time. This KitchenAid Burr Coffee Grinder achieves consistent grind sizes for all brew methods from French Press to Espresso and so much more, with 70 precise settings. The Automatic Smart Dosing Technology takes the guesswork out of dosing and automatically adjusts grind time to deliver the proper volume and consistency. And, its compact design fits under most kitchen cabinets, so it~s easy to access and great for everyday use.
 

4 questions I love coffee and work at a coffee shop and have been looking for a good grinder 1.is this a burr grinder or blades? 2.how good does it grind for cold brew? 3.how good does it grind for a syphon or French press or pour over?

1. This is a burr grinder. Very powerful also.
2. I’m not sure how you brew for cold brew, but the grain size adjustment has a huge range, and that is marked on the grinder in increments also for French Press, percolate, drip, and espresso. Each of those marked ranges have many steps to fine tune the grain size.
3. I have a French Press and have used the French Press range on the grinder many times, dialing it in each time. I would say the middle to largest grain size in that French Press range is the best. If you get closer to the percolate range this thing is powerful enough to give you finer grains and you will get some pass through on your mesh in the French Press.
