The 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put safely. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up; an amber light lets you know that your laptop is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Does what it does right but expensive
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sadly I was on the road and realized I forgot my charger for my laptop. I ended up calling around and BB had the correct charger. Sadly, it was fully Apple Tax charged as in expensive. I gave this a 3 star because it does what it is supposed to do but at a ridiculous price. BB had no counterpart item which most likely would have gone for half the price and work just as well.

Good buy, nice item, strange delivery messages
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
There is enough folks out there to describe the movie content so I'll add this - Both blu-ray and 4k look good. The 4k is not a vast improvement in the video but there is enough difference that given the choice, I'd rather play the 4k disc. The digital copy is UHD which is nice since sometimes it is hit and miss if you get UHD. It streams as expected and I would say it looks more like a slightly sharpened blu-ray play. The metal case is very nice and this item was on sale putting it at the same price as a less expensive 4k disc. I think it would make a nice gift due to the metal case and price. The delivery was very odd. It gave one date, then later said it was coming early then gave an update putting it back to a date further out and then delivered the next day. Depending on which link used would give a different date. It did come earlier than the original date (which was a few days) and no real harm done other than having waited for the earlier correction date. BB used US postal services to ship which probably explains things. I picked this item up along with Captain America and Thor. These were the first movies of each series and all remain my favourites. As for Robert Downy Jr., I still get a kick having remembered him in smaller roles of movies such as Weird Science and Back to School and having now graduated to Tony Stark.

Metal Case, fun movie and at great price
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
We know the movie and if you are a fan you'll enjoy this specialty item with its neat metal case. It carries the usual fair of 4k, Blu-ray and digital copy. The 4k is slightly better than the blu-ray which is nicely produced and both are a win but I prefer the 4k for the viewing and audio experience. The digital copy is UHD and holds up surprisingly well as a streamed movie. If you too find this item on sale (same price as regular 4k disc) it would be a good buy and certainly a nice gift. I should say I tend to favour the first movie of some of these heroes. - Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. The back story is often as if not more entertaining that the sequels.

SteelBook of great movie at great price
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice case at regular 4k disc price. Good deal as it contained the usual 4k, blu-ray and digital copy. The movie for me is my favourite of all the Captain America movies as you get to know more about the hero and what makes him tick. The 4k version is slightly better than the standard blu-ray and for me, I prefer it. The digital copy is also UHD and it too was delivered well from a streaming device. Overall an excellent purchase.

Easy to acquire, works like a charm
on December 13, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a cable rather quickly and could simply walk into Best Buy and pick one of these up. The cable does exactly what it is supposed to do and so far, no issues at all. The usual weak spot on cables are the fittings on the end (male or female) and these appear to be solid enough to not be an issue. Like any cable, I often find prices a bit higher than I think they should be and I believe this cable should be a bit cheaper as well. It is not high priced but still a cost considering comparable cables. If one likes Insignia products, I would say this cable wont disappoint you.

Solid Apple accessory reminds me of the past
on December 13, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used for a long time the touchpad on a Macbook Pro and when I opted to attach it to a 27" monitor, it made sense to use an external keyboard and mouse. Due to a shoulder injury, the only two options were a trackball or touchpad. I opted to get the Trackpad and see how it works out. I was more than happy with the purchase as it is solidly made and this time around with a good feature set. The specs allow for cable free use (Bluetooth) or can be connect via detachable cable and the fixed battery within is rechargeable. This is the Apple of the past where the details make the difference. I use it along with its keyboard counterpart and it is a great combo. If there is a wish item it would be more about the software side controls for the touch pad to be a bit different and of course a lower price.

Another 4k + Blu Ray + NOT 4k digital
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie might not appeal to everyone but I found it to my liking. The 4k version looks great as does the Blu Ray and the audio matches as well. However, As I have mentioned on another review, customers have no way of knowing on purchases whether the digital will be 4k or less quality. In this case, I use Vudu and it showed up as "HDX" as opposed to UHD (4k). I find this more than annoying. If the purchase included UHD digital, I would have given this 5 stars.

Maze Runner 4k, Blu Ray and NOT 4k digital
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I opted to buy this as the price was a bit marked down and it included both UHD (4k) disc and Blu Ray disc along with Digital. Sadly, there is no way to know that the particular digital (which I tend to use Vudu) was "HDX" as opposed to UHD. This is more than annoying. Some purchases (like the 8 disc set of Harry Potter) provide UHD - 4k digital and some are like Death Cure. Both discs play well and about what is to be expected. The 4k version is just slightly better than the Blu Ray and the "HDX" digital is playable though a disappointment.

No compromise between movies play and gaming
on November 3, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Chances are if you are reading this review you are wondering whether to get the newer 2019 model or this 2017 model. There are plenty of articles telling the difference between this model and the 2019 "pro" (same chassis layout). If you opt to buy this one, make sure to do comparative shopping. Some can be had at a much lower price as the 2019 comes into stores in volume. I love this little device as I am a movie fan and it can not only play back 4k streaming (from 4k sources) but is excellent with my own 4k files along with more complex -higher end audio. For net gaming it does quite well with your own network being the bottleneck. The 2019 pro has a couple of items that separates it from this model. Namely, the primary chip is a "+" version which translates to a modern take on the 2017 chipset allowing for features such as a technique to upscale 1080p to 4k with superior results in most cases. Superior as in better than most other devices. As well a new remote is offered which I believe most will prefer. The 2017 shown here includes the handset for gaming. The new model does not come with handset device which must be bought separately. If you want to simply get into the Nvidia world and already do gaming with say x-box or playstation, then you might want to look at the 2017 model with just the hand remote and use your gaming handset from either the x-box or playstation by pairing it with the Nvidia Shield TV. Overall, the 2017 was the premiere streamer in its year and is only now eclipsed (slightly) by the 2019 version of itself.

As expected...
on March 29, 2019
Posted by: Phrehdd
from So Cal
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is somewhat a no frills version of the movies and contains two cases - one with blu ray and one with UHD blu ray. The cases are the type that houses multiple discs. While I don't like these type of cases, there were as expected so no real complaints on the actual product purchased on packaging.
The product also includes digital copy and that worked quite easy as it was one code for all of the movies. On proper sights that support UHD, they movies appeared as such.
I played all the UHD copies and found no flaws. I did not play the blue ray copies but will assume unless a quirk, they play well too.
Admittedly, I would prefer to pay less and only have UHD discs and UHD digital copy. Those that are familiar with H.P. purchases of the past know that Warner was notorious for their version of double and multi-dipping into customer pockets by coming out with different versions of the products that included feature additions and/or extended (2 movies) and so forth. Perhaps we'll see a repeat with UHD as they redo or remaster the films and add the extended versions as well.
The price is not a bad deal no matter my above comments on preferences. If someone wanted UHD versions of the movies, this is an okay deal.
Last - not all of the movies seem to be that much better in UHD than 1080p blu ray. What made this a deal for me was ironically my least used - digital copy as it is all UHD which actually does look better than digital "hd" or 1080p counterpart.

depth of the bag for accessories
July 5, 2020
Thanks for sharing your experience with this case. I am looking a somewhat rigid case for an iPad Pro 12.9". My concern is how thick can a battery pack be and wall chargers and have the case easily close without any effort? Any idea of the depth of the accessory side? Thanks much if you can share once again here.

Great TV but not enough HDMI 2.1 ports
By Datboydriving
I have owned Samsung TV's since 2007. Always been a fan and the picture quality has always been amazing. I am also a casual gamer so I have stayed away from OLED tv's because of the fear of burn-in and the lack of warranty for such issues with the brand's that sell OLED tv's. The only downside I have now is that the TV only has one HDMI 2.1 port. The technician told me repeatedly that it had two. So now I wont be able to get the most out of the next-gen consoles when I get both because of that. I would not have purchased this TV if I hadn't been assured that it had two HDMI 2.1 ports. I should have done the research myself but, you should be able to trust that the technicians know about the products they are selling.

Are there any adaptors that will allow for two devices to share the same HDMI 2.1 port? I know that for 1.4 and 2.0 there are several out there. You may want to check into this option.

Does The Rocketfish Work During A Power Outage?
By 74LotusEuropa
The reason I gave my Rocketfish - 6-Outlet/2-USB Swivel Wall Tap Surge Protector 4 Stars is because I do like it, and one reason is I can charge my cell phone with it because it has 2 USB connections. And a regular power strip is connected to it which I have 2 tower fans, a dual window fans which is connected to the regular power strip when it gets hot in my room during the spring and summer I turn on the fans to keep my room cool. The problem is in my city, 3 weeks or so after my purchase of my Rocketfish my fans shut down from a short power outage. It only lasted for less than a minute. But still, shouldn't my fans still be on during that very short power outage?

Surge protection is not a battery backup
January 24, 2024
If I an understanding correctly, you expect your fans to remain on when their is no power. This is reasonable if this unit was a batter backup as well as surge protector. Perhaps a better way to think of this unit as a means to take 2 wall outlets and turn them into six plus the ability to prevent serious surges of electricity from reaching your devices (fans etc.).

What does the packaging look like? Is the Sonos bar itself wrapped up in the box? Is the Box in a Cardboard box? I ask because mine had no wrapping and it seems this was previously opened. What should I look for to make sure it was new and unopened?

I had to rearrange my furniture due to have no moved & now my TV cord & blu-ray player don’t reach this surge protector. Obviously, I’m not going to use a regular extension cord, but is there any other option than buying a new surge protector w/ a cord??

I know that there are places (see big river on line) where you can buy very short extension cords. I have purchased several for a battery back up unit.

First, some items have powersupplies and by plugging those into the extension cord to the socket on the UPS, I can easily access all the plug sockets on the UPS.

Second - more to your situation, I have some cords that simply don't reach. The very short (24") extension cords are spot on in solving this problem and do not impact the signal due to the particular items I got being the right type for sensitive electrical equipment (see grounding and wire awg).

They can come in different lengths.

Will still need to get a router for this right?

When you get service to your home (typically), you need to convert the signal and that is the job of a modem. Next, you have to direct the signal and that is the job of a router as it "routes" the data. Most cases, a provider will set up a single device that is a modem-router as it contains both parts mentioned. If you want to use this excellent router you are asking about, you really only need a separate modem. Either your provider can get you one (rent) or you can purchase one. Just make sure that the modem is designated as DOCSIS 3.1 (if possible or a higher number).

In short the unit is the router itself and you need the modem or equivalent part to connect to your provider.

What option do I have since two of my keys fell off

I would imagine you would want to check your warrantee with Best Buy or Apple (whomever holds the warrantee). If you are beyond that period of time, contact Apple or look for a third party by doing a web search under such type in as "magic keyboard key replacement." If you damaged the location here the key(s) fit, then again you will need to check with Apple.
