Great way to carry my laptop!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a safe way to transport my expensive laptop purchased at Best Buy. The Solo - Urban Laptop Briefcase - Black/Orange was certainly the answer to my issue. It is well made of very durable materials both inside & out. It also has more than the usual amount of padding for all sides of the laptop. the pockets provide plenty of room for the A/C adapter, cable & mouse. You cannot find a better case for the money anywhere. Thanks Best Buy as always for having the very best pricing anywhere!

Best 65" TV I've owned.
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Gene
Verified Purchase:Yes
The VIZIO - 65" Class - M-Series Quantum LED - Smart - 4K UHD (2160p) TV with HDR is the most incredible TV I have ever owned. The picture quality far surpasses so many different makes & models I reviewed prior to my purchase. The Dolby sound is also awesome from the speakers. It has so many features not offered on so many other brands. I highly suggest checking out this TV before making a purchase. The QLED screen gives an absolutely amazing picture. Best Buy had the very best price & also always pleased with my purchases & service from Best Buy.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Lenovo - 100e 11.6" Chromebook is a great small laptop for anyone looking for a small & well built device. You can add an SD card for additional storage. The battery charge lasts for 10 hours of use. I was very surprised by the great non-reflective HD screen. With 32 GB of internal storage plus my SD card I can download & store may movies & tons of music which I can access wherever I go. Needless to say the price at Best Buy was the lowest I had seen anywhere. Very pleased & suggest that anyone looking to take the plunge into a Chromebook should definitely consider this one.

The best prepaid phone for the money!
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: Gene
Verified Purchase:Yes
The AT&T Moto E5 Play is truly an incredible buy. Of course Best Buy had the lowest sale price of any retailer. The phone allows you to add an SD card as internal memory so that even though it has 16GB internal memory to begin with, it increases the internal memory to whatever size SD card is added. This is a wonderful feature not found on any prepaid phones. The calls are clear & data from AT&T is fast. have never been happier with a prepaid phone. The camera also takes great photos too!

The McAfee Total Protection is the best computer protection I have used. This is the second year I have installed it on the 2 laptops here at home. It scans, protects & keeps you updated as per the findings after each scan done. The price for this product at Best Buy was the lowest I had found. You can use this protection on 5 devices as well.

A really great wall charger!
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: Gene
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am very pleased with the Insignia Wall Charger I purchased at Best Buy. Have never been disappointed with an Insignia product for that matter. From the very long lasting Insignia batteries to high end merchandise, I trust the Insignia name. This wall charger is small & allows you to charge many different items that do not include the charger & only a USB cable. This is also the lowest price one I have seen anywhere.

This Amazon Fire 7 2019 release was a great purchase as Best Buy had it on sale for $29.99. I installed an SD card to increase storage capacity for so many applications. Since I am an Amazon Prime member can also watch movies & TV as well as download them for when I'm traveling. You can also download books from the Kindle library. It's truly a great small tablet with very good battery life. Also this new addition has 16GB internal storage compared to the last model which only had 8GB.

Samsung - 11.6" Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB M

from Ocala, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Samsung - 11.6" Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory is a great addition to my lifestyle. It provides me with a great new way to access information without the size of a 15 inch laptop. It is small, light & the screen resolution is amazing for an 11.6" Chromebook. This is my 1st Chromebook & I am so liking it's quick response on making searches & the start up time. I have hardly used my Window laptop since purchasing this Chromebook. The price of course at Best Buy was the very best. The fact that you can also add an SD card for addition storage is also a plus.
