Work done on time, professional results.

Unlike the big box home center I originally purchased from, and eventually cancelled due to incompetance, there were no reschedules or no-shows with BB. The crew and the washer showed up on schedule, installation went without a hitch, and the crew left with the old machine. It's all been working properly ever since.

Best value and ultraportable

Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing is amazing for $300. Great quality, a full-function Chromebook, the screen is the perfect size to use to watch video in tent mode on an airplane tray or in a car seat, and a good tablet, too.
For your $300, you get the tablet AND a keyboard AND a stand that allows you to use the tablet and keyboard in desktop mode or just the tablet propped up for video viewing.
The included 10W charger does the job, but if you use a more powerful charger you can double your charging speed. The Duet uses USB-C PD charging and will charge at up to 18W (9V @ 2A) if your charger supplies that.

Entertaining escape for your mind

This is a different take on Lara Croft from the Angelina Jolie movies. Alicia Vikander give us a Lara that is damaged from the loss of her father, turning her back on her fortune. There's action throughout, but an underlying theme of the film is Lara's journey to take on her responsibilities and discovering the systemic corruption in the family business.

Exceptional movie

Good acting, good casting, good effects, but you know all that because you've seen it.
What you probably want to know is that the 4K transfer to disk is excellent and makes for an immersive home movie experience.

Disappointing, streaming of UHD disk is only HD

When the streaming code does not match the disk, that should be on the case in big bold letters. I feel like Fox screwed me.

Excellent for the price

If you're looking for a $1500 gaming beast, this ain't it.
But for $250, it's amazing to get an i3 processor and a touch screen. This machine handles all the basics with aplomb.
I use this machine to run all my non-browser applications, i.e. the ones that only come as .exe files. It's great to manage my several-thousand-book ebook library, data bases that index my print media, CD/DVD/Blu-ray/UHD disks, etc. and act as a host for my NAS disks that I use to back up all my other machines. I'm thinking of hooing it up to my 4K internet TVs as a local streaming host. It seems to have plenty of power to do that.

This didn't blow up the ratings when it came out, but it turned out to be a very good fantasy adventure, and the 4K render was quite good as well.

Very good UHD transfer
on September 13, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the DVD and then the Blu-ray versions of Fifth Element and got this to get the superior quality of 4K UHD. The upgrade does not disappoint, with the new transfer taking full advantage of additional detail where available in the original master.
Note that the streaming code gives you a 4K stream in Movies Anywhere but only an HDX stream in Vudu.

The Cync Ceiling Fan Smart Switch enhances your home comfort. Set the speed right from your phone while relaxing in bed. Control the switch away from home, so you can set the perfect temperature for arriving home. Pair with an Amazon Alexa or hey Google device for hands-free temperature control. Set the ideal nighttime scene by pairing your ceiling fan smart switch with Cync lights to dim the lights and cool down the room to get ready for bed.

Beware: Does not work with lighting on fan
By Anah
I ended up returning this because I didn't realize that it only worked to control the fan. The switch doesn't include the ability to control the fan's lighting, which would essentially leave them inoperable.

So you sell fan switches, and you sell light switches, but do you sell a single switch that controls both fan and light? Two separate switches can't fit into a single wall box.

Own your space with Logitech Pebble M350 ~ a modern, slim, and silent portable mouse designed for your curated lifestyle. Make a statement with a slim mouse that can easily be scooped up and brought to the cafe or library. Silent clicking and scrolling means you can stay focused without disturbing those around you. And the Logitech Pebble stays powered for up to 18-months on a single AA battery so you don~t have to worry about losing power.
 

Has ANYONE gotten this device to pair with a PIXELBOOK? Although it is listed on Googel's store site as the mouse for the pixelbook I just bought, it will not authenticate.

Yes, it works flawlessly with my Pixelbook and Pixel Slate using either Bluetooth or Unifying Receiver (USB).

Does this mouse work with a Dell XPS 8900 ... It's the only Logi mouse I would purchase and I looked at all these. Are they other Logi's that aren't in the Best Buy list that are wireless and has a smooth wheel and no buttons on the side.

This mouse has a standard HID (human interface device) profile and standard Bluetooth HID support so it should work with any computer with Bluetooth. Alternatively it comes with a wireless USB interface so it should work with any computer with a USB port.

Can this bypass a broken chainpull fan switch (thereby avoiding purchase of a new fan), where the light switch works?

If the chain pull is broken in the always full-on position, this will almost certainly work. If the chain pull is broken in the always off or slow position, you either need a new fan or you need to replace the chain pull. For most fans, chain pull switch replacement are readily available at you local hardware store. Or you could remove the chain pull and wire the fan to be always on, if you have a bit of electrical expertise.

Cam tou download music and play the music through a bluetooth d.j speakers. Thank you

This machine has Bluetooth, which means that, in general, the answer is yes. But no one can guarantee that every Bluetooth accessory will work, since there is a lot of Bluetooth crap on the market that has badly-designed and not fully compliant drivers and/or chips. If your speaker works with several other Windows PCs, the answer is probably Yes. If you've had trouble playing from other PCs, the answer may be No.

Hi, does upgrading your Ram and hard drive void your warranty on your laptop? thanks Jim

It's as HP posted in their answer, but SAVE ANY PARTS YOU REMOVE, and if you need to return it for warranty, put everything back just like you bought it. That makes it easier on the tech who is looking at it, and sometimes a warranty claim will result in a replacement machine, which means that you would lose everything non-factory you left in the machine.

is this windows 10 in S Mode?

It comes in S mode, but it takes about 5 minutes, if you're slow, to take it out of S mode, including looking up the answer. Google something like "take Windows out of S mode" to get the instructions.

You're not going to get a backlit keyboard for $250-$300.

Control access to your garage with this Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub. It connects to your Wi-Fi router and lets you remotely control guest access for your existing garage door opener via the MyQ app. This Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub pairs with devices for seamless integration with lighting and security cameras.
 

Will it work for a sliding driveway gate? The gate is controlled by a remote and photoelectric switch. Thank you.

The opener uses a sensor that relies on the tilt of the door to determine position, so no, since your gate doesn't tilt.

Can a single Chamberlain - MyQ Smart Garage hub control more than one Chamberlain Garage door opener?

The MyQ Garage can monitor and control two compatible door openers, but a second door sensor must be purchased separately for the second door opener
