Nice little tube for the treadmill

5.0
I bought this to replace a small 19” lcd TV that I had mounted by my treadmill. My old set only had one HDMI input but I wanted to add another device to the TV without having to use a switch. For only $80 this one was a no brainer. Picture is vivid with great contrast and true 1080i resolution. The sound quality is good even though I usually use earbuds when I’m working out because the treadmill is noisy. Very good set. Would buy again.

Quick and stable if not the absolute fastest

So I use this usb stick to make a backup clone of my MacBook Pro that has a 120GB SSD installed. While not the fastest, it works as you'd expect and is also functional as a boot drive if I ever need to restore the internal drive. Would buy again as SanDisk makes a reliable product. Tried the PNY, and while it had faster read speeds, it did not function as a bootable drive as it took over 25 minutes to boot my Mac. The SanDisk booted in under a minute.

PNY - Elite X 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
Transport important files while on the go with this PNY Elite flash drive. It has 256GB of storage that lets you save photos, documents and music. Its capless. retractable design protects the USB drive when it's not in use. Transfer files up to 20 times faster with this PNY Elite flash drive.
Sorta fast? But did not work for my needs.

I bought this flash drive to make a backup clone of my 250GB SSD in my 2012 MacBook Pro. The drive shows very fast speeds via USB 3.0 during file transfer but when I tried to boot from it, it took over 10 MINUTES (yes TEN minutes) which normally takes 15 seconds booting from internal SSD. I've done this before with a SanDisk Ultra 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive with all else being equal and that flash drive will boot in about 75 seconds. The PNY flash drive clearly has some issues. Ran Disk Utility to make sure file structure was good and it passed. If you're just using it to transfer files, it's pretty quick. But I returned it and bought the 256GB SanDisk. Has potential but mine did not work for my needs and might have had a defect.

Hey it's RAM and it's well priced. Passed extensive MemTest86 tests twice without any errors. Works great in my Mid 2011 iMac. No complaints here.

Not much to say, it's black ink. Fortunately Best Buy had it in stock (no other local retailers did) and their price was even competitive with online retailers. Will definitely save myself the aggravation of running around next time and go directly to Best Buy. EZPZ

Speck - Mightyshell Case for Apple® iPhone® SE, 5s and 5 - Black/Gray
Safeguard your Apple iPhone SE, 5s or 5 with this Speck Mightyshell SPK-A3130, which compresses the inner walls on impact for effective shock absorption. A raised bezel helps protect your screen from scratches, so you can place your phone face down.
Awesome case if a bit bulky
Customer Rating
4.0
I purchased this from BB when they were having a pre-Xmas sale on Speck cases and I snagged what is normally a $50 case for $20. The build quality is outstanding and my iPhone fits like a glove. Of course with all this protection you lose a bit of the sleek factor and the iPhone is noticeably larger and thicker than without a case, but not as bulky as the other usual suspects (I'm looking at you Otterbox). However I feel it's a trade off worth making. The back of the case has a nice matte/semi-gloss finish that doesn't show fingerprints or the usual scratches that arise almost instantly on the traditional glossy Candyshell cases. It also has a nice lay on table design that protects the face of the iPhone from scratches and the case itself seems designed to accommodate the Tech Armor screen protectors that I use but YMMV. No issues either with access to the lightning port with either my Apple and non-Apple cables nor any issues to speak of regarding various 3.5mm headphone plugs being able to access the jack. I was even able to plug in my full size Sennheiser HD545s without issue. My only other complaint about the case, aside from bulk, is that the edges and face are so grippy that it is a bit challenging to easily slide the iPhone out of my pocket at times. However, that grippiness also makes me feel confident when holding the phone in my hand. My hope is that as the case wears a bit, it will become easier to slip in and out of my front pocket. Overall a significant upgrade from the standard Speck Candyshell design with one star off for both bulk and the difficulty of sliding it in and out of my pocket. If these are not issues of concern to you, or you can get one at the sale price or other discount, then I'd say it's definitely a 5-star product.

Logitech - Harmony 650 8-Device Universal Remote - Silver

Great remote for all my devices
Customer Rating
4.0
This was an upgrade from my Harmony 300 that I loved but I added a few new components to my system and the old Harmony 300 could only control 4 devices. The ability to control all my devices with the ability to add even more in the future is great. I would give this a five star rating except that having to scroll through the screen to access some of the commands that used to be on the buttons of my original remote is a bit annoying but it does allow you to have access to every command that the original remote had even if it takes a bit of scrolling to do it. Other than that, it is a fantastic and capable remote at a reasonable price especially when it goes on sale. I may even buy another one just to have as a back up should anything happen to this one. It also allowed me to transfer my commands from my old Harmony 300 to the 650 via the MyHarmony software. Piece of cake.

What's great about it: Size, speed, weight, fits anywhere
What's not so great: Shoulda bought the Retina display model
So I kinda bought this iPad Mini on a lark because I had a Best Buy gift card as a bonus from a previous purchase plus a few smaller gift cards from a recycle your used electronics promotion Best Buy had. I had been wanting an iPad Mini ever since my neighbor got hers and I got some extended play time on hers. To me, the Mini just feels right in my hands. Having been an iPhone user for nearly five years now, I knew what iOS was all about but the Mini is even more impressive than that as the added real estate gives the interface lots of added benefits. And iPad versions of the same apps I had already been using are enhanced with additional features that the iPhone versions of the apps may lack. Plus all of Apple's free app downloads of iWork, iMovie, iPhoto, etc., really make it a no brainer. Having lived with the Mini for a few months now and seeing how much I use it, my only regret is that I didn't buy the version with the Retina display. Other than that a great purchase, highly recommended.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold

Transport important files while on the go with this PNY Elite flash drive. It has 256GB of storage that lets you save photos, documents and music. Its capless. retractable design protects the USB drive when it's not in use. Transfer files up to 20 times faster with this PNY Elite flash drive.
which is better and why? PNY - Elite X 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model: P-FD256EX-GE SKU: 5387034 or PNY - Turbo 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Black/Gray Model: P-FD256TBOP-GE SKU: 8052124 /
Spend a bit more and get the SanDisk Ultra. While not as fast on paper, in real world use, it is MUCH faster than either PNY and comes with SanDisk reliability. I used the PNY Elite and while it tests well, I found it to be painfully slow. Took over ten minutes to boot my MacBook from a clone of my HD while the SanDisk Ultra booted in 75 seconds via USB 3.0. Returned my PNY and bought the SanDisk. Very happy with my decision.

will this work in place of a roku remote?
This will work with any Roku device that has infrared remote capability. I have a Roku 2 XS that can use either Roku's Bluetooth remote or a Roku infrared remote. The Harmony 650 works with my 2 XS perfectly. The Harmony 650 will not work with the Roku Stick because it uses an RF (radio frequency) remote. If you look up Roku on Wikipedia, you can see a chart that lists what type of remote capability your particular Roku has.
