Great value and performance
on March 15, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Superb video quality and color management - that's Sony TV's best features over all others. The 900F has a really good over the air TV tuner. I get over 45 channels just using an indoor 4K antenna. The uncompressed network HD channels look much better than the same compressed ones on cable. 4K HDR movies in cinema pro mode are as good as it gets on an LED panel. Wall mounting is fairly easy. Setup is quick. The only areas of improvement: the table top stand is too wide; Android TV software and the streaming apps are poor, unstable, and privacy intrusive. I wish Sony would use other vendors such as Amazon's FireTV 4K; the reference manual is inadequate, Even with the minor flaws, this TV's video quality and overall value are outstanding.

Good hardware compromised by buggy software
on March 8, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
While replacing my Eero Pro 2nd Gen with WiFi 6 mesh due to a recent gigabit internet upgrade, I researched all the options. ASUS seems to have the performance and price value advantage. Here's my experience...Once working, WiFi is fast. Full wired internet speed at 970 Mbps (Comcast's gigabit service is slightly less than 1 gigabit); 5GHz 11.ac wireless gets 850 within 30 ft., 650 at 75 ft., 620 50+ ft. beyond walls. No dead spots in my 4200 sf home with 3 levels. The hardware setup is truly excellent. Here comes the 2 stars less...the set up is fairly easy if your network is simple and you can do all of it with the mobile app. Any complexity, however, such as network drives, fixed IP printer(s), home automation servers, etc., you will find the software quite 'buggy.' The web interface is the best way but access is often frustrating due to frequent locked out, SSL certificate mismatch, and the numbers of reboots required to get things done!! I've never encountered a network device that requires that many and frequent reboots, which takes about 5 to 6 min. between the router and the mesh unit. Any configuration change, reboot, wait, and then previously connected devices all dropped from the network, even the wired ones. It then necessitates a reboot on the client device(s) too. The management software is fairly comprehensive for home networks and the mobile app is good. I think that's the reason why the device's management software actually has a built in 'schedule reboot' option in order to prevent drop outs. Better software would make this product a true 5 star success. As it is, not robust enough to be a winner. Therefore a conditional recommendation to only users with networking experience, and tons of patience for reboots!!!

The 96W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. It~s compatible with numerous USB-C devices and charging cables. Apple recommends pairing this power adapter with your iPhone 15 models, 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021) using a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or USB-C Charge Cable to take advantage of fast charging, so you can go from 0 to 50 percent charge in around 30 minutes

Best price/quality product
on January 23, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple accessories are usually more expensive than those from third-party vendors. When it comes to power related products, the assurance of safety, performance, and reliability and the peace of mind that original OEM products provide justifies the slightly higher price. This is my spare power adapter for the MacBook Pro 16". It works well and stays cool even at full power draw.

Good value for 500GB external storage. Well made and portable. The only negative is the USB-C connection is bit slow.

great laptop
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple makes the best laptops...yes, even for Windows users! MacOS is much more stable and secure. Essential apps are all free. OS upgrades are easy (vs. Windows or Linux!!) The only reason I returned this laptop is to purchase the more powerful one with 2.4Ghz CPU and 512 GB storage. Even the base model is responsive and great for CPU-intensive apps. I use for Windows and Linux laptops for work but I prefer Apple's laptops and MacOS.

MacBook Pro has a new eighth-generation quad-core Intel processor with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz. A brilliant and colorful Retina display with True Tone technology for a more true-to-life viewing experience. The latest Apple-designed keyboard. And the versatile Touch Bar for more ways to be productive. It's Apple's most powerful 13-inch notebook. Pushed even further.

Apple makes the best hardware/software integration
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple consistently makes the best laptop hardware. MacOS is stable and just works. Wifi is one such example: Apple's driver and hardware are much better than similarly priced Windows based computers. The keyboard is fine despite some critics' complaints about dirt trapping that causes stuck keys. The 2.4Ghz quad-CPU is very responsive; screen looks great and the laptop stays cool under normal operations. Thunderbolt 3 connections are great. The only downside is the necessity of the USB-C doggies and cables needed for legacy devices.

works well, needs improvement on the side straps
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall the massager works well on neck on shoulders. The side straps are fuzzy and the control switch is hard to reach as you cannot see it easily once it is on your shoulders. My triceps get tired after 10 min. from pushing the straps against my neck or shoulders in order for the massager to be in the right spots. It is a well made product nevertheless and works well. I personally think the pillow version may be easier to use.

Soft, breathable, and lightweight, the Nike Sport Loop is designed for fitness, with select colors matched to the new line of Nike running shoes. It features a nylon weave with reflective thread designed to shimmer when light strikes it. A hook-and-loop fastener makes for quick and easy adjustment, and dense loops on the skin side provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability.

Great fitment and quality. There's a significant difference between the real Apple Nike loop and other third party products. This is a black reflective sports loop great for workout or outdoor running. It feels secure and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Seems to be an edited version?
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a decent movie when I saw it in the cinema. The 4k disc version seems to have been edited from the theatrical release. e.g., the flight scene between Blunt and the assassin is shorter. Disappointing...what's the point of releasing a 4K version that's not the original?
