Regular scroll-wheel mouse tilted
on January 27, 2023
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
A girl at work had one of these and I had an attraction/revulsion reaction to it. It just looked so weird I thought there was no way I would like it. I was wrong. If you place your hand on a regular scroll-wheel mouse this mouse feels EXACTLY like it except upright. It requires you to rotate your wrist to use it and the minute I rotated my wrist I could feel the pressure release where it usually lay across the edge of the table I work on. Logitech makes some great products and this is one. I have one at work and one at home now and don't see myself going back.

The Best
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned many, many trimmers and clippers and never found the goldilocks item I was looking for. I had owned a corded Norelco trimmer with a partially broken trim guard on it that I always went back to because even broken it was better than the new ones. I recently got a real strong urge to find a really quality nose hair trimmer because all I had ever found were junk and thought about my old Norelco and thought maybe the brand makes a difference. I wasn't wrong. This lithium ion trimmer works HARD, not just strong when plugged in, but on battery power too. All the attachments work too. Easy peasy and VERY precise. This thing is NOT a toy and will chew your lip if you get careless, but it is like my old reliable 15 year old Norelco with a 100% better form factor and convenience with the battery. I DO recommend this device heartily. BTW this is an second unit I bought for my son.

Absolutely great noise cancellation
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
My grand-daughter lost her airpods and I had been considering upgrading my first generation airpods pro and this was a good opportunity to help her out and get to find out how good the new ones were. The noise cancellation is really amazing. I have some Sony over the ear phones that cost over 300 and these are at least as good. This helps the sound performance in my opinion, but even with ambient sounds the listening clarity is darn good. Otherwise these are really indistinguishable from the first gen ones. If I hadn't done a good deed I don't think upgrading was justified, but as it is I don't have any regrets. Range is good and battery life is noticeably (to me anyway) better.

Solid replacement
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this to replace my wife's Series 5 with cellular, and it has performed respectably. There was one glitch that we never saw on our 5's (I had the same unit as hers except larger and GPS only) where it refused to "swipe up". Had to do a shutdown and restart and it was back to good. They will probably patch that issue on an update though. I like the color and the slightly larger screen is of course a plus.

Decent laptop protection
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decent price and decent bag for tech. The "sleeve" is minimally padded, but stiff enough and convenient enough to carry the laptop and give protection from scuffing and tip-over drops. It is a generic size and therefor not custom fitted to prevent some movement, but you get what you pay for. I bought this to protect my granddaughter's inexpensive laptop and didn't want to overpay for something that won't see much service. Convenient option and decent tool for what it is.

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 13 Pro Max. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ Defense, which is 95% stronger than the average screen protector, to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

ZAGG has apparently assumed the mantle of being the go to screen protector provided by Best Buy. I was sold on Armor Edge for this job, but ZAGG seems to be comparable. The convenience is the thing; buy once and get the replacement service for life. I buy one for each of the four phones on my wireless service and then when one gets jacked up I take it in the BB and they swap it for free. Quick and convenient. This is actually a symbiotic relationship for BB and ZAGG whereby the retailer gets the business by providing the vendor and the customer a service, while the vendor has a de facto installation rep. Works for me!

The SANUS Elite BLT3 Advanced Tilt 4D TV Wall Mount features a revolutionary design, providing 6.8~ of extension on a tilting mount. Tilt 4D advanced technology tilts in four directions. The extension allows even the largest of TVs to achieve the maximum listed tilt range. Large TVs installed on traditional tilting mounts often hit the wall, limiting the maximum tilt that can be achieved. The BLT3 solves this issue by extending from the wall, offering TVs a larger tilt range. More tilt translates to better glare reduction. This makes the BLT3 the go-to tilting mount for all above-eye-level mounting locations, like over the fireplace. Additionally, because the mount can extend the TV 6.8~ from the wall, cables and wires can be accessed quickly and easily while the TV is still mounted. This makes the initial hook-up and future device switches a quick and easy process.

Good protection for my investment
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good solid mount for really large TVs. I bought this in a hurry because I had purchased an 85" Samsung NeoQLED to replace my 75" Vizio QUANTUM P-series and the mount I had in place was limited up to 120 pounds and the new Samsung was weighing in at 108. I felt I couldn't chance 3k of TV crashing because of weight limiting out. That said, this Sanus mount is much more conservative in all regards to my other mounts. I prefer the full extension mounts so the rear inputs can be very freely accessed, but that took a back seat to safety. I prefer more horizontal latitude for placement, but again, this mount has sufficient adjustment within the very securely mounted frame. I gave four instead of five stars because of my preferences not being gratified at the (IMHO) price point of this mount. Since this is for our living room TV that needs very little adjustment ever, and the fact the new TV is very thin and provides easy access to the inputs, this mounting unit gives peace of mind and sufficient adjustment to earn my recommendation for a decent value.

Great protection
on June 19, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good protection and decent usability. This is a second purchase of this item for a second iPad so that should indicate the regard I have for this case. I like Speck for iPad and iPhone cases and trust the quality of protection they provide. The latch on the first one broke, but this is not a huge deal. The color is not the most attractive, but it does stand out so finding it is easier. All in all, it does what it is supposed to do without requiring much bother so that is what I need out of a case.

Decent inexpensive monitor
on June 19, 2022
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Now realize I am reviewing a tv that cost me a couple of hundred dollars, not an amazing high-end model, that said I had been weighing all the considerations for a while. I wanted a 4K tv to use as a monitor, and this works very well for that purpose. The resolution is good, and the color and brightness are good enough. I wanted a workmanlike unit for a rock bottom price, and I got what I paid for. The one quibble I have is that it won't program to start in HDMI-1 input mode so I have to adjust input on startup, but I can live with that.

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.

Quality tablet

This is the third iPad I have bought for my wife. She only uses them lightly (like facetime and gaming and surfing) but she has enjoyed them. I like the convenience of taking them on trips to augment the navigation of the vehicle; it is nice to search for a Starbuck's without disturbing the GPS route. I checked all the options (PRO, Air, and regular) and for our money the least option is the best. Still has a great display and is fast enough and doesn't need tons of memory. Apple products aren't really earth-shatteringly innovative anymore, but the do incrementally improve on what is already a very good quality product.

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. The NVIDIA GeForce RXT 2070 graphics card has 8GB of dedicated video memory for cinematic visuals at high frame rates, and the 1TB SSD ensures sufficient speed and storage. 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.
