300 Was not originally shot on Film that translates well to HD or UHD, so you will notice some grain in scenes that obviously used a green screen. However, the UHD and Dolby Vision do bring out the color palette that Zack Snyder used, which was wonderful and in the spirit of the comic.
The best feature of this UHD update for this movie is the Dolby ATMOS sound. If you have a home theater capable of taking advantage of this track you will love it.

I have been using Pixel Phones since the original came out. Some people may get caught up in the fact that this phone does not offer the highest-end 2020 CPU as Samsung or others do. I am here to tell you that Google does the best job in the industry in optimizing their phones and the user experience is fantastic without the high-end CPU. This keeps the cost of the phone down and much more reasonable than Samsung or Apple. Below are the highlights.
- Fantastic Camera as always with Pixel Devices - Battery life is amazing. Lasting two days under some circumstances. - 5G connectivity - Size of the phone enables single-hand use - Fingerprint reader where it should be. No stupid face unlock. - 3 Years of promised updates from Google - This model is unlocked. Use it with any carrier - Price is amazing compared to Apple or Samsung flagship offerings
Cons: -The stereo speakers are not as good as the stereo speaker with the competition. But not bad either. - Fast charging is nice, but not nearly as fast as some of the competitors.
If you are looking for a "flagship phone" without some of the meaningless features that Samsung and Apple want to make you THINK you need, then this phone is for you. The price is perfect versus the competition and Google's 3 years of monthly update support will not be matched by Samsung or Apple, I can promise you that.

The Pixel 4a is a fantastic phone if you are not looking for a high-end phone with all of the features that people rarely use. This phone was purchased for my daughter and she loves it. She is 10 years old. The battery lasts all day even with her being on it all the time. The camera is fantastic and the phone is a perfect size. 3 years of promised updates from google will keep the security and software features relevant for years. At this price, you really cannot go wrong with this phone.

Yes, this direct from google laptop is priced at a fairly premium level. But rest assured you will receive a premium product.
Pros:
- Superior build quality. There is zero flimsiness to the laptop. The hinges are firm, despite being able to open the laptop with one hand. Everything feels nice and smooth and tight.
- Superfast. The M3 along with 8GB of RAM flies.
- Perfect keyboard. The backlit keyboard is perfect and premium. Not mushy at all. Very satisfying click to each press but still maintains a very quiet sound level.
- The touch screen is there if you need it.
- Battery life. I am getting the advertised 12-13 hours with 80 percent screen brightness. Best on the market.
- Nice and bright screen. This unit offers more brightness than most of the competition. It is nice and clear with a cool color gamut. 1080p is perfect for a screen this size. 4K would only be needed for graphic design or gaming.
- Quick charging. Very few laptops offer the ability to charge rapidly. Plug it in for 20 minutes and gain a few hours.
- Amazing speakers. The best laptop speaks I have ever heard. You could totally use this to listen to music or watch a movie.
- This is a direct from google product which means you will be the first to see new features and chrome software releases.
- Weight. It's very light and very portable. But at the same time, you don't feel as though you're going to break it either. The build quality really is outstanding.
Cons:
- Not a 2 in 1. Much of the competition at this pricing level offers the 2 in 1 type. I personally do not need that but it is something to consider.
- Price. While I was willing to pay this price and have no regrets I can see some people still shying away.
- Two USB-C ports and that's it. While this does not matter to me personally, much of the competition offers additional ports and/or storage slots. Especially at this price level.
Competition that I considered:
- Asus C434 (Similar specs with 2 in 1 functionality, great build quality, but hard to find) - Asus C433 (Similar specs with 2 in 1 but build quality is plastic and flimsy, especially the hinges) - Asus C425 (Similar specs but a dim screen and plastic/flimsy build) - HP X360 (Sells like hotcakes, 2 in 1, however bulky and aging in design, heavy in comparison)
Summary:
If you want a superior build quality in a Chromebook that simply flies, this really is the one for you. Especially if you do not need a 2 in 1. None of the competition comes close in build except for the Asus C434. The Pixelbook Go offers you a nice bright screen, great speakers, direct from google support, and the best keyboard on the market. Spend a day with it and you'll be impressed.
