Very handy to have

Verified Purchase:Yes
Energizer is a brand I trust and the price was excellent and these batteries are very handy to have around. I like to have a few in a drawer because they fit our car key fobs, my electronic guitar tuners and some other things around the house. The buying experience was very good for me and I would recommend this item heartily.

Trend security that came along with an iBuyPower computer I bought for my wife. Easy to download and get ready for install. Don't know much about the protection it gives or the efficacy, but it always good to have some peace of mind when surfing the web and visiting a lot of websites of questionable veracity. You just can't be sure of anything out there today. Glad to have virus protection for these perilous times.

Excellent Deal!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very nice computer. I had just bought an iBUYPOWER box for my wife for her birthday and it got me hooked. I was VERY skeptical about these machines because although I have a couple of decades of working on computers I got out before these gaming boxes got so popular. I am not a gamer but I sure appreciate the quality components and the absolutely clean build of these gaming machines. What a great idea to use bulk buying power to do what techies have been doing for a long time and save them time and trouble and deliver all of it for a very decent price. My wife could care less about RGB, but having an X chromosome I can't help but admire the coolness of the lighting. Still, what gets me is the speed of the processer and the memory and the awesomeness of the 2070 video card. My wife's machine has the same i7-8700 and the 16gb of DDR4, but lacks the GPU and it DOES make a difference. Everything works great on the machine, and the only less than great part is the keyboard. The mouse seems okay. The 1TB SSD (WD green in my case) makes shutting down and restarting a snap. I am thrilled so far. Caught it on sale on the 4th and that was really a plus. Best Buy also had given me a two year financing coupon to make paying it off easy if I need it.

Good movie on great media

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love me some SciFi and also some Blu-ray, so this was a good deal for me. Having a huge 4k TV is a great way to enjoy hi-def movies and a good sound bar system presents all that hi-def audio to immerse you in the experience. This was a good book and so the story was there for the interpretation and the acting was pretty good too. I am glad to have this in my collection.

Not so good for guitar playing headphones because of some latency. I was hoping I could have an entirely wireless guitar playing experience with this device, but it doesn't work to have any latency between what you are playing and what you are hearing. Oh well, they didn't market this for that anyway and having the ability to handle two sets of headphones at once wirelessly is still pretty spectacular.

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

I have owned and used this keyboard since I got my iPad back in 2017 and it still works well and provides great protection for my expensive tablet. I will say it is a pain in the rear to get it connected if you ever take it off. It stays on great and unfolds and folds up just fine, it is just the initial connection that vexes me. The keys are tactile enough to make using it easy enough and they are still low profile and unobtrusive. Setting it up is easy and using it is easy. The suede/fuzzy cover gets a little beat up looking, but that makes me proud that it isn't my screen getting scuffed.

Very good quality

I like these headphones. I rotate these with some Pioneer Bluetooth in ear headphones and these have better quality sound. Of course they cost several times more so that makes sense. There are several pluses with these: the charging plug is easy to access, the on/off button is easy to find and the range is outstanding compared to others I have tried. The best feature for me is the ear hook though; they always stay on and I can pull them out of my ear and leave them hanging when I am talking to someone. These are very good quality earphones.

Good product

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a basic for any computer so it is by definition a good product, but the form and function are different from traditional copies of software. The installation was seamless and the function has been optimal, but I still miss having a disk and an activation code. I am not sure how difficult it might be to get Microsoft to work with you if something went wrong with a build and you had to scrap a hard drive or swap a box. I almost had to do this with this copy of office. I bought an open box pc and it was just losing power and having to be unplugged to get it restarted. I dreaded the idea of going through customer service to explain why I needed to have a fresh install on a new device. Nevertheless, that didn't have to happen and the software works great. I shouldn't count off for the delivery method, but I do like physical things when I make a purchase.

Surprisingly awesome
on June 19, 2019
Posted by: WhitehouseWillie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am really impressed with the computer and the computer company. I agonized over the purchase because of my doubts about straying from the "industry standard" companies. I have seventeen plus years of IT experience with a large state government agency and have built hundreds of computers, mainly from Compaq, Dell and HP. What convinced me was the verified components that ARE industry standard parts. My fear was that I would get a junky box with incompetent or sloppy installation of the nice components. I have seen crappy cases that had sharp edges and required three hands to put the sides on and poorly managed wiring and components that weren't seated or plugged in. This was NOT the case with this tower; the component installation was immaculate. The case was large, but that just gives lots of room for air to circulate and space for add-ins. I ran through the Windows startup routine and in just a few minutes added my virus protection and imported some favorites and was ready to go. If there were updates for the build I didn't see them and it has been flawless for two days. It is FAST, quiet, and runs my 50 inch 4k monitor very well. I have tossed around the idea of doubling the memory and adding a nice GPU, but so far I just don't see the need. I am happy with the computer and the absence of bloatware that other makers force on you. Good job iBuyPower techs and salesforce.

Great performer

Verified Purchase:Yes
The good: has worked without a hitch for months (this review is for the second purchase of the same device), is easy as scanning the bulb with my Apple iPhone camera to add it to the system, gives good strong light (either whiteish or blueish or color spectrum), has a good FAIRLY easy to install, use and modify application for controlling your bulbs. The bad or not so good: I am almost six decades old so technology such as the Sengled app can still trip me up a bit, but having said that I will mention that the little "router" controller has been completely easy to use. I hooked it to my wireless router by Ethernet and set it up with the app and then unplugged it and took it to the guest bedroom to live there and work wirelessly and it has not glitched once in spite of losing power to our house a couple of times and having to reset my cable modem at least once. I have never had to touch it since I first put it in place. Excellent work little device! The best part is that it will control up to fifty bulbs by just scanning the bulb and naming it and screwing it in. I do recommend this device and the bulbs.

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.

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.
