This is just a battery but I don't want to use non brand cheap battery. Only 1 reason for buying brand named battery is quality expectation. This works good so far as usual.

I bought this because I don't want to change current dead bolt key and it works great. I thought this model is 3rd gen model but this is 2nd gen model so I could not get door sensor. But I could lock and unlock this everywhere by my iPhone because this works with HomeKit is nice. Auto lock and unlock function is convenient also.

This is my 1st smart thermostat and it works fine and love this product. This model is pretty expensive but luckily I could get this on black Friday sale and I could buy this and E model (cheaper model) same time.
There's big difference between this model and cheaper model. This expensive model has beautiful High resolution screen and metal bracket for wall installation is nice for me.

This is so cute! I ff you like Splatoon this makes you happy.
But I thought this is all 6 color keychain BUNDLE pack but it was a BLIND pack.... So 1 package $4.99 for just one that can't choose the color keychain is pricy. So I can't try to buy another one because I don't want to get same pink color one.

I purchase this for my friend's house for improve their poor wi-fi network.
This small and light units are works great at entire 3,500 sqf 2 story house. No dead spot and don't need to change 2.4GHz and 5GHz network anymore.
And I also put Apple's AirPort Time Capsule for 1 of the Google wifi unit and laser printer that has not wi-fi function, only has 1 ethernet LAN port can connect with Time Capsule.
This Google wifi gives a lot of flexibility for everyone.
My only concern is must have Smart Phone with Google account for setting this system but it gives me maintenance free and control with my iPhone is better than I think.
Overall this is great wi-fi router system. Highly recommend for geek person.

 Splatoon - PRE-OWNED - Nintendo Wii U
Splatoon - PRE-OWNED - Nintendo Wii U
You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

This third person shooter game is much better than I though. At first, game control with gyro sensor was not comfortable for me but now its a one of awesome future of this game. Characters are so cute and game music is so unique. But remember, this is for single player game so this game can't play with 2 or more people such as friends or family like a any other Nintendo games.

I know apple provide the Boot Camp for install the Windows on my MacBook but I don't want to restart every time switch the OS. It was strange feeling that Windows OS running on Mac OS but it is seamless and it is the best solution I believe.

What are the differences between Gen 2, Gen 3, and the Retrofit version? This seems to be very difficult information to get. Best Buy needs to step forward and clarify this.

This model is Gen 2 and this model has not door sensor. Gen 3 model is same price but Best Buy don't have gen 3 only version. They have Gen 3 with wifi point set model only. If you have iPhone and Apple TV (4th gen) or leave your iPad home, you could use HomeKit so you don't need to buy wifi point. But if you want this function with non apple smart phone like android, you need wifi point. The retrofit version is cheaper 3rd gen and it has door sensor but it does not compatible with HomeKit so you need wifi point if you want to use function of lock and unlock everywhere.

The use of Brother Genuine replacement high-yield toner cartridges like the TN-450 produces sharp, black and white pages with the quality you expect from Brother products. The Brother TN-450 replacement laser black toner cartridge is for use with 16 Brother products. This professional cartridge is intelligently engineered to work in seamless unison without compromising the quality of the print. Brother is dedicated to being environmentally responsible and offers disposal programs for properly discarding its cartridges.
 

Why it says XL is it remanufactured. thanks ss

Hi. TN-450 is High-Yield and it can print 2 times more pages than normal cartridge.
Normal cartridge is TN-420 and it can only print 1200 pages but TN-450 can print 2600 pages.
I hope this will help for you.

Ensure that your USB-enabled devices are ready for use when you need them with this Dynex™ DX-12C1U vehicle charger, which offers a 5W output for rapid power replenishment. The colorful design offers a stylish touch.
 

what output - 5.0V?

Is it OK for Samsung core?
I don't know about your Samsung well because I'm a iPhone user but it seems OK to use.
Yes, this charger has 5V /1A /5W output and it will fit almost regular smartphones. (But charge slowly as same as wall charger at home.)
