tight on the ears, good range of sound
on December 12, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sound is very clear, but it's not full range clear at all. The weight is very nice, but the "noise cancellation" is really the incredible crushing, clamping of these things, it's a bit much if it's warm out, and can make your ears feel a bit irritated after 30 minutes or more. Over time either I adjusted to it or the headphones slowly relaxed a little through use. The bluetooth works well in modern android systems. It does not, however, have aptx in windows 10 or 11. You can download an intel aptx bluetooth driver you can manually uninstall your driver, then add that one and it works if you're using intel chips on your desktop or laptop motherboard and aptx shows up after also running each .inf file you get from the installed package (in the installed folder). I like them, I just don't know if they're worth $99, and certainly not $199. The battery life is good, as is the charge time.

excellent with 60hz or higher monitors
on December 12, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
I have used tablets for 20 years or more, since they were serial port systems. There's really not too much information that gets polled by these things. Now we have had angle, pressure and velocity for years, but it's the ability for these tablets to actually respond as fast as we draw which is important, without jumping etc. I find my 50" 4k tv works great with a 2080ti 10gb gpu, but this also works on a really old laptop with only 1600x900 res and 2 core 4 thread about 3.1ghz. Photoshop works well, Lazy Nuemi Pro aids a lot in the artistic flow of the pen (it's a plugin) and in most other paint, watercolor, 2d vector stuff like illustrator it is fine. 3d sculpting works well too.
There's something about hand eye coordination that keeps your view clear as the hand is on the tablet not on a screen you're looking at. It's great, for some they prefer the visual cueing.

very good 4k 60hz but colors are not very accurate
on November 28, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
great tv, it's lasted 4 years now, and is starting to fade a bit into the blue spectrum, dimmer lights, but this thing is on all of the time, for pc and gaming/editing etc, even music at night (black bg). It has a strange pattern in 4k 60hz when looking at details on bright white areas, a striped super thin barely noticeable hum or maybe how the rgb (or bgr on this i forget). still, a fast response, good monitor over the years, not color correct though at all, and can't photoshop on it but still, for the price at the time, totally worth it. The new hisense monitors / tvs in 2021 blow this one away.

Overpriced SMR drive, should be 150 max
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
highly overpriced, $199 at the time 08-28-2021, best buy taking advantage of 'supply chain' pricing bloat, and it wasn't worth it really. The drive uses SMR tech, which means it has to overwrite areas to add more data like shingles on a roof laying on each layer line. That's not good. CMR is what you want. Always check in advance, I had no choice at the time, so I got this in a rush and Best Buy charged what should be the price for CMR. I am not buying or advising HD purchases from Best Buy for a while.

good but awkward to charge, carry, and program
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overly loud, even with the adjustments, then it is quite muffled at times, not the clearest from the unit itself with the built in mic. No controls but the basics and only on the receiver, which is ok. Finally they made an app for it on android / iOS, but still it's very awkward to use a computer to modify this. No charger, just 3 usb-c cables make it a chore, the carry case itself is a sewn slip cover that looks like it was made for reading glasses.
You can get lav mics, but they're overpriced at $79+ each on top of $300 for this 11-06-2021, and then you have to think about the transmission quality. Even if you're too far away, you can program these to work on their own as they have their own dram to record 7 hours uncompressed and 18+ hours as mp3 I believe, so that's nice to match up if there's noise in the air so to say.
It's a mixed bag. It's almost a 5/5 over the top awesome, but not with those things to worry about and fiddle with.

not worth the money at all at 5000 mAh
on November 6, 2021
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
5000mAh is really, really small, and I thought 10000mAh was overkill until I looked at my older charger / battery that had 8000mAh. I would return this if I could but it was $13 after some best buy rewards. The larger one is $50 which is also way overpriced (some places charge $70 which is even worse). 11-06-2021

detailed and new to the marvel universe, it works
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved this from the get go, and then working on Creed 2 and then 21 Bridges, I got to be friends with the leads. It's a sad thing to know Chad won't be around, but all the energy he put into this showed wonderfully. Michael too, there was a whole team of people trying their best to make this a mega success, and by the art in itself and box office success, that alone brought it up. The story is a sad one and it comes to a boiling point with one of those "oh...man" moments. You will love it if you love marvel.

I absolutely love this game. I have Part I and thought, ok maybe I will go for part II. I was happy I did, it's like an episode of supernatural and tomb raider mixed into one. You will be happy you played this even if you're new to the franchise.

these m325 mice are cheap and work great
on August 15, 2020
Posted by: kristoffe
Verified Purchase:Yes
So the great part is the speed they are recognized, see that orange flower or asterisk on the usb chuck / module? it can work with many devices at once if they also use that format. The mouse feet eventually rub off, the glue from moisture, heat, friction, so you might in a year or so change those. They stay clean, the left and right mouse buttons might die after insane use over 1-2 years, but a normal user with medium use is looking at 5-10 years. The battery lasts a really long time. I use it all of the time and pop in a rechargeable battery, never looking back for 4-8 months at least.

MSI Aegis RS Desktop: Get in the game with this MSI Aegis RS gaming desktop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card makes visually intensive games come to life in exquisite detail, and the 1TB SSD loads large titles in seconds. This MSI Aegis RS gaming desktop has an Intel Core i7 13th gen processor and 32GB of RAM that easily handle multiple applications simultaneously.

1 out of 5Wouldn't Turn on and had wrong Graphics Card
By CharlesB
This is pretty much my first review ever, but the experience has been such a nightmare that I thought I'd comment. First off, when I received my pc it would not power on, I enjoy gaming, but when it comes to the hardware I'm fairly clueless. But even with my minimal experience and expertise I was able to notice that the Graphics Card clearly says "GTX" when the specs say it comes with an RTX 4070ti. So at that point I contacted customer service where I was advised that I can take it to the store for an exchange. I will give this a try, and if I can get a working copy with the proper components, I'll update my review. For now, I can't say anything good about the PC itself though. It's a shame, as I usually like MSI products.

someone in the chain stole the 4070ti
December 29, 2023
The 4070 ti was without a doubt taken by someone in the factory (unless the plastic wrap was perfect) or at best buy, a customer who bought it and then put an old gtx in it claiming it didn't work. that could be the op here as well. If I were BB I would cross reference the GTX and see who the serial number is registered to for the card in this new gaming pc.

The UHD 4K VA monitor that does it all. At 31.5" and 16:9 screen ratio, LG's UltraFine Monitor with UHD (3840 x 2160) VA display features great color with DCI-P3 90% Color Gamut, , contrast, clarity, detail and responsiveness. It shines as a productivity powerhouse, delivering a flexible workstation experience and easy setup, yet amplifies gaming with cutting-edge features and elevates entertainment with HDR10 and built-in MAXXAUDIO stereo speakers.
Does this monitor have 10 bit color?
No, what it has is 8-bit FRC, so it flickers 2 colors on a pixel RGB (BGR) location to emulate 10-bit. 10-bit data can go to it, but the "HDR" is dull, washed out, and if you push it to "look" like a more IPS or 8-bit contrast and color punch, it will just lose some grey levels, color differences. It's fake 10-bit and not what they advertise at all.
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/b99220f4
Also the screen on most of these delaminatese over a few months meaning there is a slight 5-10% glow around the entire screen and they're aware of this, that is why best buy sold so many "refurbished" or "open box". They sold defective monitors to tens of thousands of people (this and other 32" models).

Does the model WDBAMA0080H have a 8 G storeage capacity ?
All of them format to TB, not G(GB?), so when you get a plot of land 100x100 feet, a fence installed to hold various farm animals, say files, takes up space, 1x100 on all sides, so you lose a bit of space. This formats to about 7.68Tb after formatting with NTFS, similar with exFAT and HFS+ for OS X. Learn about this on youtube, search for "why do hard drives format smaller"...

Will this work with a Windows 7 machine or with a Windows XP that doesn't go online?
Windows 7, sure. You might need to an x64 system in win7 not x86 to read 7.68tb (8tb formatted).
Win XP, nope. But if you want to do something like back data up, you can network the XP and Win7 system to your network router or a $10-20 unmanaged 4-8 port switch.
Then you can keep the drive on the x64 win7 machine and use network sharing from the XP system to the win & system.
make a user named test, ps 1234, etc, on both machines. log in to both. make sure each system is on a domain(network) named, WORKGROUP as it usually is.
Share the new 8tb drive as say x y or z as it's letter. plug in the drive into the win7 x64 system, right click my computer, manage. right click the usb drive and change drive letter to one of those last unused letters.then in the options allow read and write to it.
sometimes in networking you have to tweak a bit for XP to be able to talk to win8,8.1, or 10, but 7 x64 is easy with xp.
either do all of that, or just buy a 256gb usb3 key on sale and move data like that.

Can you partition this drive into 2/4tb? I want to use 4 for a Mac and 4 for a PC.
If you would like to share data, you could partition it so one partition is NTFS and the other HFS+, but...
Just use software for either platform to read AND write data for HFS+ (windows) and Paragon NTFS (os x)
If you're jumping around multiple stations, and getting that software for all of them is too expensive, just format the drive into two partitions with the eXFAT file system.
Both operating systems can read and write to it.
Read online how to do that for each OS.

What if I wanted to back up my entire WD easystore drive to another external hard drive? Can I do that? Is there any other personal cloud storage device that can do this? I don’t want cloud Internet backup, I would like external hard drive backup.
