I usually review Samsung very highly, but I cannot for this one. I went into the store after having read online that it had extra storage capacity, android marshmallow updatable, it had really nice processing speed, and functioned well. Well... 1/4. It has extra storage capacity.
It does not function well, and it's very slow both booting and loading. Most of the time when I boot it, it goes to a blank black lock screen that I can't do anything with... so I leave it sitting for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes the screen goes away, sometimes it doesn't.
It actually had a system update ready for me when I booted it, but it wasn't marshmallow, it was actually just the latest lollipop system update.
I will definitely be exchanging this for a better model. Buying this one was a waste of time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sports, action, shooters, you name it. The familiar layout of this gamepad brings console-style control to your PC games. Bring the gaming console experience to your PC with this game controller that features broad game support for wide-ranging use and a floating D-pad for simple operation. The 6' cord allows you to sit back and relax while playing your favorite games.
 
A must have, especially if you have reg gamepad

This controller is a must have, especially if you have the Logitech Gamepad and are playing more racing games (Trials Fusion & Dirt Rally, especially). If I didn't buy this, and stuck with my regular logitech gamepad I bought years ago, it would've been a total nightmare playing Dirt Rally and etc. This controller has xbox controller like triggers, so the more you hold it down, the faster you go. I asked a best buy rep about this way back when near black friday when it was way off, and he told me "Oh no, you'll need the xbox controller for windows for that." Yeah. WRONG! This one works perfectly, and works better for some games where you won't need programs like x360ce. I honestly prefer this over the xbox controller, because the one for my actual xbox has already messed up and I've had it less time than my old logitech gamepad.
tl;dr? Has pressure sensitive triggers, contrary to what an associate will tell you. Get this if you're looking for an upgrade or for that feature in particular!

The exciting sequel to 21 Jump Street will leave you again, wanting more. The credit video definitely established "Hey, we're going to make more, here's a preview maybe." I was really excited to see the "interns" and how this one connected with the last film. Hopefully it won't too much, and they can branch out more in terms of story. I'd hate to see the exact same case.. again... again. lol.

The actor who played Ezio's father, Orzari... Tatum, Woods, Jenkins... I mean what more could you want. I honestly haven't seen Jenkins in anything since that "Eddie" film, so it was nice to see him in something worthwhile again. This film will leave you excited and wanting more. I've probably watched it about 7 times now. It never really gets old, and I'm hoping for some kind of sequel in the near future. Maybe defending the President again when he's traveling overseas somewhere...?

Tatum and Hill have a very interesting connection in this movie that starts off weird and ends weird, but in a good way I suppose. I really liked it, with everything from them being in high school all over again to the insane trip they had. This movie is one to last, and you'll find yourself watching it again at least once every month or so.

I used to have the cheap Logitech LS11 speakers you would find on a college campus or in a store quite a few years ago. This is a definite upgrade from those. 2 amazing speakers in one small package. Purchased the protection plan just in case, because coming from a LS11 user.... Yeahhhh those broke. I had to throw out a set of LS11 speakers, and buy another one... within a year.
This one definitely seems to me like it would last a lot longer, so you're definitely getting more for your money. Also, the sound quality is 100x better.
Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade from really small speakers, whether it's for a laptop or desktop, get these! You won't regret it!

The good:
Graphics, gameplay, weapons & upgrades, skills.
The bad:
Limiting the player on how far you can go. I want to unlock the radio towers like 2 towers ahead, but the game has that part blocked off every time I advance to a new area. What happened to free roam, bro? You could just block off a big rectangle or whatever of where the end of the game would be, and everything would be fine.
Towers always say either hard or very hard. Where's my mediums?
Characters. Forgettable characters. I've gone back and forth between games while playing this sadly, and I've forgotten even his mom's name. That is sad.
Another good:
ELEPHANT RIDES! WOOP!

I was looking for an upgrade to go from a 19" Samsung monitor to something awesome. This was so perfect, especially for the price! I loved how easy the setup was, and the monitor itself is just incredibly beautiful. My best buy actually confused me, because they didn't have the sign for it.... but had the box... So there was that. Just look at it online, appreciate the quality & price, and buy it if you really want/need it! I've had my 19" since like late 2009/2010, so I needed this!
Also to note if you're upgrading from a 2009'ish pc to a brand new one (even if building or buying), yeah get this monitor. It uses HDMI which your new graphics card MUST have. See ya, DVI! :P

I trust Logitech to handle creating awesome speakers, mice, keyboards, and have recently been introduced to their headsets!
I picked this one out because of not only the volume control and the mic control, but also because of the comfort and color. Blue and black are my favorite colors, and now I'm wearing them on me ears? SWEET! XD
The sound quality is great, and if you have your pc volume set to a proper level, you can control the sound nicely from then on just with the headset. It's very simple to use and incredibly comfortable. I also recommend the protection plan, because with cables and the blue part of the speakers could wear off within a year (COULD, not WILL)... better safe than sorry.

It's the twenty-first century: multitasking is a way of life. Cell phones, laptops and tablets and their ever-expanding networks, apps and programs make it so we can almost always be doing at least two things at once.

Technology allows us to stay connected to the people and things we care about. It also creates a world where work and play are constantly overlapping — where creativity, productivity and recreation often go hand-in-hand.

If I have a new laptop that has windows 8.1 what do I need to get to have Office?

I hope you figured this out by now since it's been nearly 2 months since my posting, but Office is sold separately. There MIGHT be a bundle somewhere online, 8.1 AND MS Office... but not this one. You will have to purchase separately. I recommend Office 2013, since the license lasts forever, unlike Office 365.

You need the proper hardware for this to work just like previous operating systems... Research before you buy and install.
