I use this in a car too old to have built in Bluetooth. Battery life is very good, sound is good, and it seems fairly sturdy.

It works fine, but poor shape

HP imitates Apple in placing form over function. It is not very comfortable to hold or use. Low profile, sharp edges, and annoying for a man with big hands. I'd return it but it is in use on a machine seldom used and the packaging is gone.
Does ANYone make a full-size BlueTooth mouse that is comfortable?

Great performance, but time will tell

The setup is easy and straightforward, and lets me use the guest mode for devices I do not want on my regular network. Even set at 50% radio strength it covers my one-storey 1600 sq ft house with no problem. I rate it four stars because if it is like past Netgear routers i have had, it will die in two years almost to the day. As I say in my suymmary: time will tell.

Works very well, but...

This player is far superior to the Samsung player it replaces. The remiote is easy to use, and the unit seems solit. The only issue is: when I turn on my home theater receiver, regardless of selected input, this thing insists I want it instead. It turns on and switches the receover to itself. It sometimes takes several tries to get it to shut off.

The 13-inch MacBook Air features 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.* It~s thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go~and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

My computer needs are met by Macintosh. This is a fine little machine it will do the job I want it to do. My only minor gripe is the video could be a little bit crisper. I understand this is resolved on the latest version. Aside from that I’m totally satisfied.

This was horribly disappointing. I’ve bought NETGEAR products for years, but this was pathetic. I could not install working software on my iMac which is supposed to be supported. I tried installing on my HP Windows 10 laptop and it failed there also. Software ran once but wouldn’t start a second time after booting PC. I’m sure the device is fine, but the software is pathetic! TERRIBLE! Do NOT buy this!

1 out of 5Rated "H" For "Headache"
By BeeRan
I love the idea of a smart thermostat... this is the first one i've ever tried, but i figured what the heck, I just bought a brand new unit from Trane, let's go all out.
My unit, from Trane, is a Heat Pump, so a word of caution about this review... you may not have these issues if you have a traditional furnace...I just don't know, but I can tell you for sure, with the old thermostat, the one that came w/ the Heat Pump, I never had a single problem.
Now? Nothing but problems.
I have been on the phone 4 different times with Ecobee. Each and every time, all they do is tell me I need to have a licensed electrician come out and resolve my issue.
My issue isn't wiring! The old thermostat works flawlessly. I even re-installed the old one and ran it for a day just to verify.
The issue lies somewhere in the settings... of which, Ecobee gives next-to-zero support or direction. I've been at the mercy of YouTube and Google searches, almost all of which apply to either EcoBee Pro or EcoBee 3 - neither of which have the same settings options as this unit.
I tried to return the thermostat to Best Buy - and they want a restocking fee, which I refuse to pay, so it looks like I'm either stuck with it - or need to sell it second hand.
One thing is for sure - I will never trust the "EcoBee" brand name again.

What is the problem
October 9, 2020
I see a lot of narrarative about A problem, but no actual description. I have this very thermostat with a Trane heat pump, and the only thing I had to be sure of was the setting for the reversing valve. If the stat calls for heat when the temperature goes up, change the reversing valve setup.
As for ecobee’s tech support, they were very helpful on an issue I had; one that turned out to be with Apple, not with ecobee.
