Works well - not my favorite
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like Speck products generally speaking, regarding my previous experience with them, but this one I'm not totally sold on. It's super for protection, but rounds off the corners and is kinda slick, which negates the new apple phone design. Also it's near impossible to take off. Just not my favorite.

Apple only - no regrets
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
You can get certified cables from different companies all day long, but i only trust apple power bricks for my devices. That being said, I had to ask a team member, not knowing they were in another section other than the Apple section (and I also found some in the open box area). Pays to ask.

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

Get the right charger for the new Macbook Pro
on January 13, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have experienced the difference in charging your phone with a standard versus a fast charger, this is similar. Has more juice to power up your new Macbook Pro, so don't skimp. Also of note: This charger is more of a rectangle that my old Macbook's square charger, so thankfully that helps me pick them out easily in my bag.

Charge a compatible phone, tablet or even a laptop with this Native Union USB-C to USB-C belt cable. An LED indicator keeps you up-to-speed on charging progress, and the 100W capacity provides enough power to charge a laptop. A genuine leather strap keeps this Native Union USB-C to USB-C belt cable secure, and the 8-foot length offers flexible placement.

Way better than the standard Apple cable

Not only is this long enough to stretch across my desk, it's longer than the standard Apple cable. It's also got a thick sheath for protection, and the leather snap keeps it rolled up nicely in my bag. Definitely recommend.

It's ink, what can I say? It's definitely more expensive than the Epson ink I used to buy. Seems like it's being used at an expected rate.

It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.

On the fence about this highly rated printer.
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because Wirecutter reccommended it as the best, even though I could have chosen many less expensive options. The set up took a while with repeated errors about the print head. Cartridges would click in place but aren't seated securely, and 2 are on the verge of popping out. They just push in with some spring tension, and don't seat into a bucket like my Epson did. Seems like a bad printhead right out of the gate. Finally got the ink in, and it prints. Noisier than my Epson I replaced. The HP Smart app takes a while to load even though I'm on a new Macbook Pro. Scans just fine with more options than my old printer.

Samsung appliances - better than they used to be!

This stove survived 5 tenants before one dropped their Yeti stainless steel mug on it. Goes to show, they can be broken. Heats up quickly, and if you keep on top of it, stays clean. Interior is easy to clean as well.

Behind the stylish, stainless steel exterior of this microwave oven lies a high-performance cooking machine. When it's time for cleanup, you won't spend hours scrubbing - LG's EasyClean interior comes clean with just a wipe, no scrubbing necessary~. And energy savings are made easy with the auto display turnoff system.

Fewer filters = easier to clean
on January 7, 2022
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great microwave with a somewhat decent vent fan (can't beat a plain old vent hood). Hard to believe my tenant's kids were hanging off of the handle and broke the door open and the stove top below it. The first one had two hidden filters behind the upper panel which this one does not, which will be easier to clean. Would probably get one without a handle, considering my previous experience.

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?

With iCloud+, you get the storage you need to keep your photos, documents, and more safe and up to date. Plus great features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support.
 

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.

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.
