Look, GoPro Karma is a great value (no matter what you think about the drone) given the inclusion of the grip and the camera itself. So it's a little bit of a bummer to spend $100 on a battery, but it's worth it, almost necessary. 18 minutes its not long flying a drone on one battery!

This scale runs off 3 included AA batteries which is nice. It is high quality and it connects to your phone in no time. But even after I purchased it and went through the Hatch Baby App, I find myself scratching my head as to why I spent so much money on it. The magic is in the free app. You can buy a cheap scale and "manually" enter the weight of your little one into the app. Or, you can spend money on this scale that does it for you.
Honestly, what really bothers me is the odd shape of the changing table. I have a table top on my kid's dresser that fits a square changing pad. The Hatch is smaller and leaves a lot of open space.

  • My Best Buy Premier Silver Review
First, I need to point out that I’m no audiophile or picture guru. I generally invest in upper end models of TVs and electronics because it’s in my nature. I assume that the upper end Sony TV is generally better than Insignia or Vizio brand (I do read customer reviews and rely on tech sites such as CNET and Engadget). That’s why, my first foray into 4K television was back in 2014, when I bought a high end 65 inch Sony Bravia TV. SInce that time, I’ve invested money in an Xbox One S, LG Ultra Blu Ray player, and Amazon Fire Stick 4K.
I’ve always been amazed, and have appreciated, 4K resolutions. I like the sharp detail it provides (you must watch Planet Earth II in 4K, it’s a treat). My Ultra Blu-Ray library has expanded and I’m always on the look out for good deals. I do stream 4K shows on occasion (through Prime mostly) but I can’t bring myself to paying extra for Netflix to get 4K on select shows.
Anyways, back to this Sharp model 4K TV. I needed an extra TV and I knew I wanted to get a 4K TV. My issue was, do I want to spend alot of money on a secondary TV to get an “elite” TV or save some money and get a budget TV? I opted to go for the "budget" model which I'm defining as under the $1K price point for 60+ inches in 4K.
I was not disappointed. I plugged my LG 4K Ultra Blu Ray player in and enjoyed a sharp crisp 4K picture. My only gripe and it could be a big one, is that the blacks are not black. I know, I know, it's not an OLED which produce true black colors, but it's pretty washed out on the Sharp. For example, I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy in 4K and there was the black bars above and below the picture. They were a white/black, meaning that they weren't a true black and it did distract ONLY when the video picture was darker (bright scenes had little effect in my opinion).
In terms of the "smart" TV aspect, I used to brush that aside, relying on my Fire Stick or PS4, but I've learned the hard way that not all devices are compatible with the 4K signal or HDCP 2.2 compliant. For example, the TV might be, but your received may not be, so if you plug Apple 4K TV or Amazon 4K Fire Stick or Ultra Blu Ray player into your NON compatible HDCP 2.2 receiver, the picture quality is downgraded to 1080p. At that point, the only way to get full 4K resolution is to plug your device directly into the TV (which isn't always possible) OR the next best thing (and the point I was trying to get to) is to use the smart TV part to connect to WiFi and watch 4K content from Amazon and Netflix directly through the TV. That won't help you if you have an Ultra Blu Ray player, but it is the easiest and cheapest way to get 4K content on your TV.
So, as for the smarts of the TV, they're simply meh. Not bad, not stellar. I do like the dedicated Netflix, Vudu buttons, etc. on the controller. That's a big help. But I use a Logitech Harmony remote which means I don't normally use the Sharp branded remote.
This TV isn't any lighter or heavy than other 4K TVs, although note that 4K flat screen TVs are heavier than you. The TV is pretty easy to set up. You'll likely need help pulling it out of the box, but you just need a Phillips screwdriver to put on the stand legs and voila. Pretty simple. The size of the TV (weight, thickness, bezels) are merely average. It looks like virtually every other TV at Best Buy, which is neither good nor bad.
There are, in my opinion, ample ports for your needs, including component, for those just in case times. The speakers, like ANY TV are weak and I would highly recommend an upgrade, even just a cheap soundbar is better than the wimpy things built in. But I wouldn't not buy it because of the speakers.
All in all, it's a great value and easy way to get into 4K. The picture is better elsewhere, especially the blacks, but only true videophiles and theater junkies will care, the masses will not care about the black color (and if the picture stretches across the screen completely, is less noticeable).

I never owned a Chromebook before, but am heavily invested in the Android/Google ecosystem. So it's an easy jump for me. I primarily use a 15 inch Acer Aspire R laptop for work, which runs Windows 10.
I have always been intrigued by Chromebooks, I like the idea of having all day battery life (although my Aspire R has pretty good battery life itself) and having a cheap device to surf the web, stream to my Chromecasts, and watch videos on the go.
I've also previously owned a Surface Pro, and while they are fascinating and cool, I just need a bigger screen. So my Acer Aspire R is 15 inches and one of the reasons I chose the Acer Chromebook was the 15 inch size. To me the larger size matters, I would rather sacrifice portability for a bigger screen.
This Acer Chromebook looks good and has a nice build quality, but it's too big. It's too thick and there's a lot of wasted space due to the bezels surrounding the screen. This is even more apparent when you look at the keyboard, which is centered in the computer with a lot of open space to the left and right. In my aforementioned Acer Aspire, there's enough room for a 9 digit number pad to the right. And when you take into account the features this Chromebook lacks, the poor use of space is even more confounding.
The biggest drawbacks in my mind, are the lack of an HD screen (no HD on a bigger than 11 inch screen is noticeable, if this were a smaller screen, you could get away without HD), no backlit keyboard (a shame) and no touch screen. This omissions surely allowed to meet the pricepoint, but to me, it seems like too much given up. 'm so used to touch screens, it's actually weird not having one. And as I said, with a screen this big, and given that Chromebooks are primarily consumption devices, the no HD is a big loss. The size of the Chromebook also makes it less portable. It's not heavy per se, but it's just bulky. My 15 inch Acer Aspire R is a bit smaller and it hits the upper limits in portability. Carrying this Chromebook around is no easy task.
The specs for this Chromebook are also on the bottom edge. But that is no issue. Chromebooks are not meant for resource intensive tasks, so if you plan on doing so, you should find a different operating system/machine. The big issue is 16 GB of HDD space, but that's not an issue to me, my photos and music are through Google Music and Photos, so I don't need HDD space. I'm also not managing documents. And if I needed more space, I would use an SD card. This Chromebook as a full size card slot for SD cards, and the best thing is that if you put one in, the entire card fits inside the computer so it's "hidden."
Onto Chrome OS. I haven't spent a ton of time with it, but I like it so far. I use the Chromebook to surf the web, watch YouTube, stream Netflix and email. Logging in with your Google Account and having instant access to all of Google's services is great. But I must say, you can get a lot of the same functionality on a Mac or Windows machine if you utilize Chrome Web Browser. So far, I can't find value in Chrome OS that I can't get using Chrome Browser on Windows. I'm not saying the value and difference isn't there, but for what I do, I can accomplish the same tasks on Chromebook as I can Chrome on Windows. I have this Chromebook because I wanted a dedicated machine to use at home to act as a hub for my Chromecasts, Google Home speakers, etc. For what I use it for it's great.
This is a good Chromebook, but it's average. If you want a big screen, this could be an option. But if you can spring a few more bucks, I'd look for a model with a better screen that has touch input. And one that has a bit more portability (without sacrificing too much in screen real estate). Assuming you don't have to lug this baby around everyday and it mostly stays in the home, the size and portability shouldn't matter.
I do want to caution those who are just looking for a cheap laptop... If you aren't invested in the Google Ecosystem (i.e. don't have Gmail or don't subscribe to their services) and you are just wanting a cheap laptop, I would make sure you do your homework. A Chromebook might not fit your needs.

I like this case because it is thin and covers most of the edges on the iPad. It is tough to get off (which depending on who you are, may be a good thing) which bothered me because I like to clean both the front and back of the iPad and every time I tried to take the case off I was afraid that I was going to break it. But that's an extremely minor complaint. This case has a done a great job of protecting my investment without a lot of bulk.

I bought this for my mom, who is a bit clumsy (or just doesn't care about her electronics). Her last iPad Air had the screen replaced TWICE. She finally upgraded to a newer iPad when the home button gave out. I must say, this glass screen has saved her from replacing another screen. It absorbs the impact of any drops and while I can't definitively say that the screen protector has prevented cracks in her new iPad's screen, I certainly believe it has. I think glass protectors are an essential accessory for every expensive electronic and Zagg is one of the best brands

If you want the best tablet, even though I'm no Apple fanboy, I must profess that the iPad is the one to get. The biggest thing holding it back, especially in 2017-18 was the price. A lot of "budget" tablets gave you everything you needed in a tablet at a far lower price. Apple touts its iPads as computer replacements, but let's be real, 99.9% of people use them for media consumption.
But anyways, the price point for the new version of the iPad makes it, in my opinion, the better tablet over the cheaper Fire. I think the lower price point and better specs beats the specs of the even cheaper Fire tablets.

If you're reading this, I am assuming you've already invested in the Phillips Hue ecosystem. You need a Hue Bridge to get things going (sold separately or in a starter kit) and then you can add bulbs as you go along.
With that in mind, this bulb's biggest drawback is the price; $50 for a bulb is tough to swallow when you need dozens to fill your house. You're probably like me and just pick a few light fixtures here and there to convert from "dumb to smart."
Set up is easy. Once you screw it in, turn the light switch on, (assuming you have a Hue Bridge) it takes seconds to find the bulb on the Hue app. Adjusting the color is super easy and honestly, fun. The options are endless. My biggest concern (and it may be my lack of experience and use of the bulbs) is that I can't adjust the colors of the bulbs with my voice via Google Home. So I have to go into the app to change the color. This honestly isn't a big deal, you would think that you would change the colors all the time, but you really don't.
And the other big drawback applies to ALL smart light bulbs, they rely on the wall switch to be on in order to activate with your voice. IF the switch is off, you can' turn it on with your voice.
My only word of advice is to MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE BULB!! This is a decorative candle bulb for certain light fixtures and are NOT the same size as "normal" light bulbs.

I am obsessed with a smart home and love the idea of controlling lights with your voice. I use Google Home and also have some WeMo light switches. But I wanted the ability to change the color of the bulbs (yes, even white bulbs) with the option of adding color as I see fit.
The Philips Hue light bulbs are, in my opinion, the best choice. but there are some things you need to keep in mind.
When I first looked into adding voice control to my lights I looked at switches and bulbs. What i discovered was, in order to save yourself some hassle, you really need to have a switch. Otherwise, you could have the switch off and then your voice commands to turn on your smart light bulbs are useless (I do realize Philips sells switches, but I don't have them).
And when factoring in price, it seems too expensive (and a tad bit redundant) to buy both smart bulbs and a smart switch. While I love the ability to change the color of my white bulbs, I find myself wishing I had smart switches.
My wife turns the switches on and off, she doesn't care about turning lights off on and off with her voice. So she turns off our living room, and I can't turn them on with my voice, which eliminates half of the bulbs usefulness.
Nonetheless, I still like having the ability to dim the lights when they're on, honestly, this feature alone makes it extremely useful.
Now, to set up. set up is extremely easy, IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA ETHERNET port in your router and EXTRA PLUG nearby. I have a lot of devices in my entertainment center, which is where my router and modem are. So I didn't have any open ethernet outlets nor power outlets. I had to rearrange things. I thought I could plug the Hue Bridge into any outlet and it would connect to my Wi-Fi, but no. But once it's plugged in (and you download the app) the Hue Bridge is found on the app immediately. Seriously, assuming you have ethernet and power outlet open, set up is as easy as plugging things in and screwing some light bulbs in.
Performance is great, the white bulbs are extremely bright. The app, which is crucial (obviously) is both awesome and overwhelming. I struggle with having a lot of customization options and something being too complicated. This app falls somewhere in the middle. I like the ability to change the color of the white bulbs (which is easy to do) but navigating the app to schedule wake up settings or night settings took some time. I ended up changing the presets from relaxing (warm yellow) to energizing, bright bluish white. And that's about it. What I don't like, is that I can't (at least haven't figured out) that I can change the color of the bulbs (other than dimming levels) via voice with Google Home. Maybe you can do it, but I haven't figured it out yet.
At the end of the day, I am really happy with the bulbs. They perform well which is what really matters, but there are just some little nuances that you need to know about going in (Ethernet port, wall switch needing to be on, changing white color via app only). I think they are a great addition to my smart home.

I just don't know what to believe re marketing of HDTV antennas, especially indoor ones. One Mohu antenna gets more channels than the other, depending on where you place either one (even in the same place). So I know with this one I'm missing some channels. Luckily, I get all of the major broadcast networks which is all I really care about. So that's good enough for me.
But ultimately I found a good location for this one. It's on the wall next to my window. It's a little unsightly, but that's the price you pay for free TV. Anyways, set up is dead simple UNLESS YOU HAVE TV ON THE WALL! One of my wall mounted TVs had easy access to the coaxial cable input, the other didn't. I had to take my second TV off the wall to access the coaxial cable. If you're in the market for an HDTV antenna, you cannot get away from this issue regardless of the antenna manufacturer, but it is something to consider when trying to cut cable and get an antenna.
There isn't much to say about set up, you screw the coaxial cable in and place the antenna in a spot near the wall or window (at least that's my thinking). The most difficult part is for those people who don't navigate their TV menus often, you will have to go find the settings to scan for channels. There's no universal location. Once there all you hit is scan, but it can be difficult to find that setting if you haven't done it before.
From there the TV scans for about 15 minutes and you should have 20-40 channels. Another annoyance of cutting cable is no channel menu. My TV luckily goes from one scanned channel to the next when you hit up or down on the remote, but to find a specific channel I have to know the numbers and they are weird. Some channels are like "41.1" or "17.15." You ultimately memorize them over time, but still, it's an annoyance.
If you have difficulties scanning channels and finding any, then you need to move the antenna. Like I said, I found a good spot near a window which I think is best. I haven't moved it since, and I've had no issues, even when raining.
All-in-all, a good product that works (for the most part) as advertised.

GoPro - Karma Quadcopter with HERO5 Black - Black/White
Take aerial shots with this GoPro Karma drone. Its Karma Stabilizer lets the included HERO5 Black action camera capture shake-free videos, while the Karma Grip provides reliable stabilization for handheld and mounted filming. The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
 

Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?

Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.

Challenge your gaming ability with the VR Worlds game included with this Sony PlayStation VR bundle.
 

Is the camera of this bundle the latest one? The ps4 camera? Or the ps3 camera?

Yes, the bundle comes with the newest model camera. The packaging and promotions for the PSVR actually show the older model (which as I understand, will still work). This camera is completely different than the PS3 version.

The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?

I can't confirrm that it will work sims from other countries (depends on bandwidths) but I can absolutely confirm that putting a T-Mobile sim into this phone will work. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer!

 GoPro - Dual Battery Charger - Black
GoPro - Dual Battery Charger - Black
Charge 2 GoPro lithium-ion batteries simultaneously with this GoPro AHBBP-301 charger that reliably draws power from select USB chargers, USB-enabled computers or GoPro wall or vehicle chargers (not included), so you can keep your camera ready for use.
 

Does this have the cable to connect charger to computer? Is there a cord that connects camera directly to computer or wall charger for charging? I think we lost ours.

It comes with a mini-USB cable which you can plug into your computer (I wouldn't recommend because of slow charging) and a wall charger. The same mini-USB cable plugs directly into the camera itself

Can i use apple tv on this monitor

As long as your monitor has an HDMI port you can.*

NOTE: that is the simplest answer, you can, theoretically, buy a couple different adapters to make it work.

Double check your specific Android device. Most newer devices accept it, I believe this card was intended for Android devices, but again, I know some devices only accept up to 64 GB card

How do you read a full size sd card?

You would have to get some sort of USB adapter for a full size SD card. It only accepts MicroSD
