SanDisk - Pixtor 32GB Memory Card
Customer Rating
5.0
Today many of us treat memory cards as just a required utility, like batteries. While this is true depending on application, SD cards must meet additional specifications such as class speed, min or max memory threshold as well as micro or standard SD card size. The SanDisk - Pixtor 32GB microSDHC UHS-I memory card meets to exceed my application for a in-car camera which required withstanding operating conditions, such as high temperatures and shock. SanDisk is a trusted long term manufacture of SD cards that meet a wide range of applications.

Customer Rating
4.0
The Targus iPad Mini case was purchased as a gift for a new iPad Mini user. It's form factor is small without the clunky bulk of over the top cases. Casual observers may even mistake it for a traditional old school notebook while still providing good protection. Best feature is ease of use with ability to rotate vertical or horizontal viewing. Small case footprint is ideal for the business traveler to fit on fold down trays with enough room for mini keyboards.

Apple Watch 3 Nike+ Best Yet?
Customer Rating
5.0
The Apple Watch 3 was purchased to replace my series 1 watch. The original watch was good but fell short in some key areas. Battery life, water resistance, CPU speed along with enhanced sports functionality and accuracy with both Apple Activity and Nike Sport tracking applications are vastly improved. More than pleased with the extended battery life. I can now wear the watch to bed and track sleep with enough power to wear into the following evening before recharging. While everyone will have varying battery life experiences; I work to be active, run 4 miles every morning and reach all Activity goals each day. Use a lot of apps. Also use it swimming, in the shower and find the drying wet speaker function excellent while being quite unique. I could go on about the range of fun enhancements but will close with two of my favorite features: the new Nike sports band is simple and truly functional without being expensive or flashy. And, go all in for a cellular, GPS model as it’s a must feature to track, play music, and receive calls without using your phone. Last, you don’t need to break the bank buying a ceramic or gold case, just an aluminum case will do just fine. So, is this the best Apple Watch Yet. Well yes, at least until the next model. But it does fit most if not all of my key needs now.

Escort Remote Power Cord Controller
Customer Rating
5.0
Mounting the Escort (or any other Radar detector) up high, near the rear view mirror requires a remote power cord if you don't want dangling wires. The Escort remote power controller enables not only powering the detector but provides mode selection. Our main concern was quality of installation. We were more than satisfied with the mobil Geek Squad team to do an amazing installation job. Cables were neatly hidden. The controller was professionally installed (cut into an available dash blank opening) perfectly. It truly looks like a standard OEM option. We could not be more satisfied with the Darthmouth Mass Best Buy Mobil Geek Squad teams effort. Look forward to installing an new high end in dash CD/XM Radio system in the spring.

Panasonic NN-SD987SA Full-Size Microwave: Cook in style with this sleek microwave. Small or large meals cook quicker and more efficiently with Inverter technology. The high-power settings preserve the nutritional value of your food; it also reduces cold spots and unappetizing textures.
Largest capacity EZ use Microwave
Customer Rating
4.0
This is the second Panasonic Microwave we purchased. The last one lasted 15 years before our mad cap family of 7 just pushed it one meal too far. This models is easier to use, less buttons, better automation, and still has the largest capacity and power. From a large pizza to helping move out Thanksgiving Dinner trimming or just 150 meals and countless hot snacks a week. It's a proven work horse. You'll need a large elevated shelf for an easy install. Simple unplug the old one and plug in the new one.

Sony - Over-the-Ear Headphones - Blue
Enjoy studio-quality audio with these Sony ZX-Series MDRZX100/BLU monitor headphones, which feature high-energy neodymium drivers to reproduce clear midrange and low-end sound. Pressure-relieving ear pads ensure comfort during extended use.
Great for Students and Young Families
Customer Rating
4.0
They are so many headphones today that it's hard to chose one, but Sony's ZX-Series over ear headphones are a great sounding pair for a very reasonable price. While not an audiophile level headphone, they have a broad range of sound reproduction that is perfect for a wide range of music taste (easy, rock, and rap/hiphop listening) as well as having a live, exciting sound for all gamers. Their are easily adjustable for young kids and adults. Comfortable for longer game playing, studies, or back seat TV/DVD viewing use. While not wildly decorated, they do come is a few colors to help give them a young look. Colors are good if you have a couple of kids to help keep the sharing down to using their own pair without writhing names on them with a sharpie. Last, they are very affordable. If you see them on sale, get two as they make great gifts for the holiday season.

what ear phones are compatable with an Altec laptop
I have an Altec laptop which is running on Windows 8. I would like to purchase over the ear head phones and need to know what is compatable
Headphones are a very personal choice based on sound quality, comfort, and style. And for many, not in that specific order. What is a must for your laptop is knowing if it has a standard phone jack or mini jack, and if the headphones have the same size audio jack. While you can always get an adapter, they all introduce static over time. So a matching phone jack is the first thing to check. I traveled a lot for business and have more headphones than would make sense for many. The best are noise isolation types. I've had both over ear and on ear from Bose and feel they are among the best. While the nod goes to the over ear types, the on ear are smaller easier to stow away. Bulk is a big deal if you want to travel light, so you should consider inner ear phones as well if they are comfortable for your use. I also have a pair of Altec inner ear phones and like them a lot. Great broad sound reproduction although base suffers with this style of headphone. The other down side is obvious lack of sound isolation. The cables are also a large concern for heavy users. Avoid any headphone with wires that are not soft. Those that have a wide flat cable seem to withstand the test of time and hard use. Price is also a consideration. Recently I purchased a pair of Sony ZX-Series over the ears headphone for my grandson. They are not Bose, or the fancy hip hop types that the kids are using. Nor are they the popular Beats, but they are perfectly fine. Good enough for 8 year old abuse. For myself, I've settled for the Bose over ear sound isolation when working. For the morning run, I've settle on a pair of 'Jays' inner ear that are also used for short air trips. (and the on ear Bose for longer trips). The Jay's are Moderately priced. Good sound reproduction (they also have a app for Android or iPhone use that delivers optimal sound reproduction for this type of headphone) they have a standard phone jack along with flat cables. Net, net the combined pair of over and inner ear fit a specific range of needs. Hope this helps you narrow down your choice.
