It's ok but braided would be better

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this because it was so economical, but found out my cat likes chewing it. So while it was good for the price, something makes cats want to eat it - I'll be using braided from now on. Good for the price though.

This was open box but not well inspected as it would not boot. Disappointed and returned. Didn't have anything this powerful this cheap, so I'm waiting to find something else comparable. Not sure if it was just not properly inspected or if this was a build / quality issue from manufacturer.

Whoah - this is like getting a dentist quality cleaning without the office visit! Only wish it were a little less bulky so I could take it with me. Helps to stand over the sink and keep it in your mouth the whole time in order to not make a mess.

The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan 1TB is a standalone subscription and is separate from the Creative Cloud Photography Plan 20GB.

Unwanted objects can be removed instantly with Generative Remove, making complex retouching easy.

Your subscription includes 1000 monthly Generative AI credits to bring your ideas to life with simple prompts, plus 1 TB of cloud storage with automatic syncing across all your devices.
 

How does this Creative Cloud version differ from the 1TB Lightroom/Photoshop bundle which is $100 less?

It's disappointing that Best Buy will not match the manufacturer price of $239.99 and instead lists it at $399.99 (Quite a difference of $160). I would love to buy from my favorite local retailer and get points, etc, but this is hard to swallow. Why?

I do not want the icloud storage and i do not want to be charged for it. so how do i get this deleted?

If you have already accepted it/signed up, then go into the Apple App Store under your ID and you will see all subscriptions, and can cancel from there: Type App Store on the Mac then select your name in the bottom left. Click Account Settings at the top of the screen, then scroll down to the Manage section and select the Manage link beside Subscriptions.

You're excited to buy a new major appliance ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad~ Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.
 

Why can't I get the 5 yr Geek plan on appliances on my Total Tech acct? I either have to pay extra for installation of dishwasher with 5 yr or go thru total tech get free delivery/installation but only 2 yr protection.

I wish I knew why they don't offer it like that, but I compare extended warranty periods from L*wes and H8me Depot and appliance lifetimes (usually 3 years), and find that 5 years is practical. I didn't see the need for a Total Tech/GS membership, so we purchased the 5 year extended warranties on our appliances instead of the recurring monthly membership.

I buy a Samsung - 6.0 cu. ft. Front Control Slide-In Gas Range with Convection & Wi-Fi, Fingerprint Resistant - Stainless and pay for 5-year G Squad guarantee on 2020. The front area of stainless steel is peeling. This defect is covered by the guarantee?

It certain;y should be unless it's stated in the warranty that it's not or if they determine someone used something caustic like acetone on the surface.

I am comparing the specs on this and the full size gaming version and they seem to be the same outside of an 8GB storage compared to the 16GB storage and the gaming controller, am I correct in this or am I missing something?

Correct. Though you can add an SD card to the smaller unit. The larger unit also gives you more inputs as the newest version of the smaller unit just dropped an input.
