I absolutely love this thermostat. I am a professional installer and I’ve installed plenty of the nest thermostats in the Honeywell and the ecobee and I really love this one the most. It is very easy to use and intuitive. I also love the connectivity with Alexa

This is a great laptop, however it does not have an any angle view display. You have to pretty much be in front of it which is not cool when you put it in tablet mode and you’re presenting to other people. It should be more like a tablet where you can view from any angle but the display is not that good. Everything else is great, processor, I did add more memory and hard drive is OK, I would recommend swapping that out as well to a solid-state drive but it’s easy to do.

Call device but not enough connections For me to really consider this for a daily use laptop. It’s more of a tablet. It does run the full OS but watching movies and Netflix I still have an issue getting the full screen and rather than figure it out, I decided to buy a separate device and specifically for movies on the go and this are use more as a personal laptop even though I don’t think it’s a great laptop because of the connections

This is a good TV, it has a great picture and it works really smoothly. Easy to connect with other devices and the picture is phenomenal. For the price, this TV cannot be beat. The only thing is the sound, I purchased a sound bar because I didn't like the sound out of the TV as I do not like sound out of most any TV. I think every television deserves it's own set of speakers. To expect TV sound to be as great as hey sound bar is naïve. It would be very difficult to get great sound out of something so slim and sleek when the focus really should be on the picture. I love this TV

Replacing HD with SSD in iMac is more involved. Question: can a person clone this SSD from the originial iMac drive, plug it into one of the USB slots and then use the SSD as the primary bootable and operating drive? Thanks.

Yes but you will not get the read and write speeds that you are looking for. I recommend installing it in the iMac. You can use iFixit.com for the repair manual. Best of luck, I do not recommend using the USB, however you can

I have MB pro 13in Mid 2010 built. My HardDrive died on me. Norm you would clone your existing internal HardDrive but since mine won't even boot up the question is.. How would I be able install a fresh copy of El Capiton on this Samsung SSD???

You can make a bootable USB or if you plug in your hard drive into a Mac or install the hard drive into your Mac. After it's installed or plugged in, you should be able to start your Mac and pressed down the option key. It will go into recovery mode and from the recovery mode screen you should be able to reinstall the operating system.

The price changed after I put the item in my cart, why can't I get the price it was at when I selected the item? I called the local Best Buy to ask a question, my online session timed out and when I logged back on the price went up $50.

Looks like you missed the deal, there's always a deal on solid-state drives. Wait for the next one

Yes, it is a part of the smart tv features. Pretty cool however if you have an Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast or Amazon FireStick, it's easier to and faster to access Netflix through those devices rather than the slow interface of the TV's smart hub features.
