Easy and Awesome

Easy installation and sleek look to my new phone. A little bit expensive but part of the deal when you buy a new phone! I don't usually replace these so I hope I won't need to come back and get any more in coming months and years!

Great Phone - 5G Not Quite Here Yet...
on March 26, 2021
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
Enjoying the cameras and overall sleek look of the phone. It seems that 5g has gotten a little bit ahead of itself though. I haven't been anywhere I am able to use it yet but I'm glad that I'm prepared for when it finally arrives in a couple years... Maybe by then I'll be getting a new phone but who knows!

Solid Full Size Mouse
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent full size mouse that is worth the price. I have used Logitech mice for years and love the feel in my hand. I have a smaller M325 that I use with my laptop and I have this one set aside for my desktop. I am a casual gamer and find that this mouse works just fine and that I dont need to spend $50+ on a fancy super accurate mouse, but again I'm just a casual...
If you need a solid mouse that will work for a long time, has a nice feel, and pretty cool colors, you should pick this mouse up.

Excellent Portable Mouse
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a very similar Logitech mouse that unfortunately hit the floor one too many times and stopped working. It had a solid 5+ years and because I love the feel of these brand of mice I bought another. They are small and great as a portable mouse to accompany your laptop if you don't want to be stuck using the track pad which can be annoying. I'll be using these mice forever.

Great system, but the PS5 is almost here!
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the PS4 Pro because while playing MLB The Show 20 I was experiencing skipping and poor performance from my original old school PS4. Although the performance of the Pro is much better than the original PS4, I did not think it was worth the $400 price tag at this point in time. The PS5 is right around the corner and so I decided to return the PS4 Pro. If this console was $200 or less it would be a fair price, but so long as it is over $350 I think it is best to wait for the PS5.
I have to admit that MLB The Show 20 did work MUCH better on this console and I will miss it until my PS5 arrives!

Free Bloatware
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recieved this antivirus software for free with a laptop I purchased from BestBuy. It works ok, but seems to be overkill considering Microsoft Windows has its own sercurity software. It will ask me to pay to extend the license once the free trial runs out and I dont think I will be doing that. In the end its just bloatware that you don't really need if you know what you're doing.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this laptop a few months ago when it was on sale for around $350. I needed a solid work laptop that was portable and could handle all of the work applications needed while working from home. I am able to use the interenet, produce documents / edit photos, and the camera works great for zoom meetings.
I don't think I would recommend this computer for hard core gaming or anything but it is a great simple build at a great price for what it is.

Best TV of my life
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always gone for the more budget options for my televisions over the years because I couldn't afford anything better and honestly thought, "Eh, could it be that big a difference?".
I decided to splurge the $2300 on this TV when I purchased my new home and have really enjoyed it the last 6 months. It automatically detects my other devices when I turn them on (PS4/Roku) and autoconfigured the Samsung soundbar I have as well so I'm very well set in my little media den.
The visuals are fantastic and with the size of this thing its just amazing really all around. It may not be worth the full $2300... that is a ton of money and there are great options for 1/2 price of this... but if you want to treat yourself you will not be disapointed in this TV.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

Works Great! 1st Gen is just fine! -Maybe Better?
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this Home Mini for free with the purchase of another Google product and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I've set it up with my Google Home App and its connected to some other "smart" things in my home. Its nice to be able to turn the lights out by calling out to Google or play a video on my chromecast/tv by asking it to play Netflix.
The sounds when I have it play music is just fine and the volume is more than enough. I like that it has a USB-C(?) connector rather than its own propietary power cord that they have on the Gen2 so I can connect my own longer 10ft USB power cord to it in my kitchen.
The thought that its always listening is kinda weird, but honestly I don't have much to hide and if they want audio of me singing along to Tom Petty songs so be it.

Great Alternative when Roku has Contract dispute
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked these up for my TVs because Roku has recently had a few issues with media companies and their contracts resulting in the loss of the channel/content. Its nice to have an alternative for when Roku suddenly drops a channel and you are left missing out (almost missed super bowl 2020 and recently NBC Peacock is not available). This might not be Roku's fault, but we need to plan ahead and have an alternative for these times.
The Chromecast really shines when you need to cast content from your computer screen. Whether its a video you can't play through Roku or even just your desktop screen, the Chromecast is great for sharing content from your computer screen.
The price on these is acceptable if a bit more than I'd like to pay but at least it is not the price of the Chromecast Ultra which is very overpriced at $70. Even though it has an ethernet port...
Most of the time I do not have issues with my chromecasts but occasionally there are connectivity issues when streaming content from apps on my phone (NBC Sports) but I do not have any issues with Netflix and other apps so it might just be the apps fault. The setup process is a bit convoluted in that you have to download the Google Home app and get setup on the before your Chromecast will work.
I'd definitely recommend these as a backup to other streaming tools and if you need to cast your computer screen its fantastic.

By Stephen
I was pretty angry that the interface comes locked and you can’t even turn it on until activating it on their website, which their activation process requires you to sign up for the free trial and asks for a credit card number before it will unlock it. I would have never bought it if I knew I had to jump through so many hoops just to use it, and I would have given it zero stars if the site would let me.

I saw this went on sale last week and didn't pull the trigger. I appreciate you providing this information regarding the hoops we have to jump through just to use the treadmill we already purchased.
