RICH and vivid colors
on January 16, 2026
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have hemmed and hawed about trying out the OLED market for a long time and always went with the "more bang for the buck" of QLED. The discount on this model during the holidays was too much for me though. I was longing for the higher end Samsung OLEDs, but I wasn't sold on it being that much better. So I opted for this 2025 entry level model to just see how good the picture might be; color me impressed! The colors are just rich and saturated like I like them, and though I am not too picky anyway, even I can detect the difference. I use this as my monitor and had worries about burn in and going from a 55" QLED to a 48" OLED, but it works just about right. This is a small as I think I can reasonably go though, because of the readability with windowing and resolution issues. I would recommend this for anyone on the fence between OLED and options, the picture really is better and I have yet to see any issues. I DO take good care to turn off my display when not in use and set my screen timeout down tight just because that is how I have disciplined myself to be with my monitors of all types.

I like buying one of these for every new phone. Then I have peace of mind for the life of that device. These protect my phone and yet my touch works perfectly. If it ever cracks I just get the nice salesclerk to replace it. Easy peasy.

Easy to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used these tags for the first time recently to help a friend keep track of a couple of her personal items and also to tag my wife's luggage during a recent cruise. Setup is a breeze and labeling the devices too. They show up automatically in the app used to find them and also have the ability to play sounds to help find them if they aren't immediately visible. They are pricey, but worth the money in my book.

Simply the best

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have tried other (read cheaper) types of ear buds and nothing comes close to this top notch product. These are actually my second pair with the only difference being the charging port type. My previous pair still worked great so I cleaned them good and passed them along to my son. I had also given a pair of gen 1 airpods to a granddaughter so I would feel better about upgrading before I needed to. The good: noise canceling is excellent, operations motions are easy, connections are flawless and the fit works great for me. Recent upgrades have now given the ability to perform a hearing test and work as hearing aids if needed. They stay charged well and all three pairs I have owned have never failed me. The Find My utility has improved and the second gen versions can play sound and lead you right to them. As long as I can afford them, these are the listening devices for me.

3rd time still a charm
on October 18, 2024
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third and most powerful PC from iBuypower. I bought the first for my wife and found it so appealing that I had to purchase another for myself. Both of those machines are perfectly serviceable and capable after giving years of good service; but... the bug bit me again after seeing this Y60 PC at my local Best Buy. It is very attractive in all aspects. I am not a gamer and don't have the rationale of needing all the muscularity of this box, but after three decades of using, building and supporting computers I have a great affinity for computing bargains. Now the price for my needs might beg the question "is this machine really a bargain", but I would say yes. There isn't a chance that a digital bottleneck can be traced to my computer and with 5 gigabytes of fiber connectivity, I feel sure I am getting the best browsing, surfing, streaming and app usage performance that I might require. After booting up and doing some minor import cleanup, I have been using my IBP for a few weeks and can only report one very minor gripe; because of the complete devotion to ventilating the interior as much as possible, the fans make a rather soothing but noticeable whirring sound. That's it. Great computer for a good price. I fully recommend iBuypower above all the other machines I have used/supported/owned.

Protection and Price
on June 2, 2024
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking at paying 113.00 for another virus protection package and I was not gonna do it. I decided that the "deal of the day" for Malwarebytes was an acceptable alternative; so far it is. I am only a week or two into the change, but am very happy so far. The price was right and the performance seems good.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 12 mini. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

Excellent protection

These screen protectors are the best. They apply cleanly and don't bubble up or gap and they don't affect touch gestures. They occasionally suffer damage (at least my wife's does) and yet the phone screen is well protected. I have had them applied to mine and my wife's phones at every phone upgrade and also do the same for my two granddaughters. The investment is worth it.

I had to rebuild my pc and didn't figure I needed a full 1 TB drive, so this was perfect. It performed perfectly and has been working just the same for the last week. Speed is great of course and there is plenty of room for my system and for all my files. The price was right, the performance is great and delivery was quick and accurate.

Another winner

Logitech makes great products. I used them first at work for graphic design and then brought the convenience and durability home for myself and my spouse. She goes through peripherals at an alarming clip, but really is dependent on her trackball. Therefore, when she comes to me saying "I don't know what happened to it", I just choose the updated version of her favorite mouse.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
 

If I buy this modem, do I need to buy the router to use the internet?

Yes. There are other devices that are combined modem/router, but this is only a modem and will not service multiple devices. You could plug one computer into this modem with a cord, but no wi-fi and no other devices.

Immerse yourself in stunning game environments with this iBUYPOWER desktop computer.

This iBUYPOWER desktop computer has an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance.
 

My new pc the BB952 came with 2 antennas and I don’t know where to put it .

These screw onto the card that sticks out of the back of the computer (it is a wireless device that plugs into the motherboard inside) to allow you to connect to your wireless network more easily. These are the wireless network antennas and they just screw in and rotate to the optimum position to receive a signal.

How do you change the lights on the computer?

Go to the ASRock Utility on the Start Menu and select the ASRRGBLED option and it will open a utility that allows you lots of options.

I bought this computer on Christmas and I tried to change the lighting on it using the application, but instead of changing the color it says," Smart lighting not detected." If anyone knows a way to fix this that would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that is the wrong utility. The MSI Lighting doesn't work. Use the ASRock~ASRRGBLED Utility from your Start Menu and you will be more pleased.

does this model have a way to change lighting?

Yes, it does. The Techs at Best Buy said they used to come with a remote control for lighting, but that wasn't the way it was with mine. Go to the Programs button on your Start Menu and select the ASRock Utility option and open the ASRRGBLED utility and voila! you will be able to select different lighting options. I set mine to cycle through the colors slowly and have liked the effect pretty much. Hope you find this before you give up.
