Pros:
This little device does marvels for extending the WiFI range to areas of your home where normally you would lose signal. There is an app that comes with it that allows you to find the perfect place to put your WiFi extender so that you know how to plug it in. The device itself is plug and play and the setup was very simple. I was up and running within 2 minutes after unboxing it.
The Cons:
Although it did extend my WiFi range to areas of the house that I wanted, it worked for certain things but not for everything. I wanted to use the device to stream video on from my phone or tablet in my kitchen, which is far from my router's location. Though I did have a strong signal, the video would constantly pixelate while playing. However, when streaming music, I had no problem using the extender. I also had no problem using the extender to try websites and browse applications in general.
This has been my experience with the device and I think I will use it mostly to stream music where WiFi normally doesn't reach. Just don't expect great video streaming from it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The extender's purpose is to extend WiFi to dead zones (areas where the WiFi doesn't reach) in your home. In my case, I have my modem/router installed upstairs, where I spend most of the time. Downstairs, in my kitchen area, I occasionally get signal, but it's weak and will intermittently switch between my WiFi and the LTE network of my mobile devices. The extender was installed closer to my kitchen area to provide a stronger signal. Though the extender did successfully amplify my signal to the kitchen, it came at the expense of reduced quality when streaming video, which is why I wanted an extender to begin with. It works fine when browsing websites that aren't as demanding of WiFi.
Because the product works, I give it an average score of 3 out of 5 stars. However, due to the reduced quality of streaming video services (watch my included video to see the difference) I knock it down two stars.

What's great about it: Noticeable speed increase, Fast Set-up, User Friendly
What's not so great: Accessing external hard drive not easily explained.
This is a great router for people who are streaming or gaming in one household using 6+ devices.
SETUP
The setup is extremely fast, user friendly, requires no PC or Mac connection, and can even be done with your smartphone.
FEATURES
Hassle free options to select specific devices to be priority without messing with port #s. Xbox Live and PSN network are options already in the router as well as many online PC games. WiFi strength is apparent and it gets rid of lag while streaming multiple devices at the same time.
CONS
This is only a con if you plan on creating a cloud storage using an external hard drive. Within the Linksys website or app, I couldn't find access to my files remotely. I needed to find the answer in another site, posted on the YouTube video provided.
LAST WORDS
Strongly recommend this for gamers and heavy streamers. It will not disappoint you.

What's great about it: Easy to hook up, wireless subwoofer, Bluetooth capable.
What's not so great: No volume level display, optical audio cable not included.
After spending an entire movie-marathon weekend using this sound bar, I was impressed.
Pros: The sound bar itself has sleek ends with a matte look in the center; it compliments any TV set-up. Both, voices and effects are crystal-clear. The remote control is simple and self-explanatory to use. RCA cables (red and white cables for speakers) are included. It is capable of connecting and memorizing up to 8 devices using Bluetooth. Bluetooth set-up is quick and easy. Sub-woofer has it’s own volume adjustment control, separate from the sound bar itself.
Cons: The sound bar doesn’t have a volume level display, so you have to go based on sound as to how loud you want it. Optical cable not included (produces best audio, but only necessary if your TV has an optical audio output).
I set this up in an open living room and the sound boomed throughout. My only peeve of it was that I can’t see what the volume level is with a number, but that’s a minor inconvenience that I’m willing to overlook for what is otherwise a great product.

This is a great headset that works on the PS4, PS3 (bluetooth), Xbox 360 (cable required) and Xbox One (chat pad and cable required). Regardless, I use them with my Xbox One as well, but you need the Chat Pad adapter and the Chat cable for it. Great durability, previous headset still works but I bought a new TV. These do not include a cradle to rest your headsets on. 4/5 stars because it requires a cable to chat (:from controller to headset) on certain next generation consoles. Sound amazing and clear voice. Watch me unbox these headsets on youtube:

I haven't played the game much, but I want to review the Scorpion figurine for those interested in buying it, if you can find one.
The statue itself does feel heavy, and it is well made. The material appears to be that of thick rubber. Though it looks as if the arms and legs are possable, they aren't. It does have a spear that can be hooked to it's left arm. You can shake and move the figure but the spear will not fall off, so that is good. Watch the YouTube video for an unboxing of what's inside this Kollector's edition. I gave it 4/5 stars because, though it is not necessary, it would have been nice if a stand was included for Scorpion to stand on. Maybe a black plastic with the words MKX would have been a nice touch, but like I said, it is still worth it.

What's great about it: Works on both Next Gen consoles (adapter required for the Xbox 1)
What's not so great: The price
Most 2.5 millimeter cables can be found at other online stores for less, but this cable is special. It is a 2.5 to 3.5 mm cable unique for Turtle beach headsets. The box claims to be for the Ps4, which I have, but, I also have an Xbox One and the Xbox One adapter. I really wanted it for the Xbox One, since my 400's came with a cable that had its only volume control and would give me game audio and voice audio fade outs and fade ins. This cable solved the problem and now I can game with amazing audio and speak with great voice quality. My twitch followers said there is a noticeable difference in the voice quality from what I was using before (original PS4 mic). Overall, satisfied. www.twitch.tv/trobadour_xp follow me on twitch and listen to the voice quality yourself whenever I broadcast.

Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

What's great about it: The plot is great post 1960's era
What's not so great: Nothing you haven't played before, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
This game is, by its definition, a standard shooter. The mechanics are all similar to other FPS games, so if you are used to this type of game, them you will feel right at home.
This, however, helps you focus less on the mechanics themselves and allows you to pay attention to the plot, which is actually interesting (after the intro, that is). You have to get through an over-the-top set piece before you see what I am talking about story wise. It is believable within context and you can relate to the characters feelings and emotions. At least, that's how I would feel if things panned out like they do in the game.
Buy this game for the story and nothing else. If your looking for a fun shooter, there is one to be had here, but there is no multiplayer. However, an interesting decision early on in the game encourages to do two playthroughs, but I won't spoil the fun.
Dual wielding the gun is fun at first, but then it becomes cumbersome with too many enemies on screen, since it is less accurate and more clunky. I, instead, found it more satisfying to go for stealth kills. I do like having both options at hand. Minor issues with AI not recognizing you on rare occasion, but in those cases, it usually works to your advantage.
Overall, I would rate the game a 7 out of ten, which is not a bad rating. Buy it, play it, and then, take advantage of the Best Buy return program so that you can invest in another game. You will have fun with this one.

What's great about it: Not just for coffee
What's not so great: You will depend on it from now on.
***Review***
This machine has to option to schedule a time to turn on and start brewing the water, as well as a time to turn off, should you leave to work and forget to do so. There are a plethora of flavors to choose from, all of which compete with your branded coffees. I began noticing that many places I frequent also sell the K-Cups (little plastic cups that actually contain the coffee you will brew) needed to make your coffee. I've seen the K-Cups at Best Buy, Target, HEB, Wal-mart, even Macy's. However, the cheapest of all is Best Buy, for they usually offer more K-Cups for less price (except for HEB who sells there own brand of K-Cups and are also pretty good).
It is wonderful to wake up to the smell of coffee and effortless to make a cup or two. Maintenance doesn't seem like a hassle. Every time you make a cup of coffee, the instructions recommend you run a cycle of the smallest cup choice (5 are available) to keep the machine running. You can use tap water (a water filter is included) or bottled water. Every 6 months, you do have to put vinegar in the water tank, and run cycles until tank is empty. Then, run a water cycle until vinegar taste is gone. Once every 6 months is not bad.
I use this for other non-coffee needs, such as making my oatmeal, making a quick soup, making tea's, making iced tea's, pouring hot water for dishes that have dried thick food hard to remove from regular tap water.
Overall, I'd say that is you are a coffee lover (or tea lover) then purchase this and you won't regret it. Each K-Cup, on average, comes out to about .70 cents a cup (8-16 oz). That's way cheaper than corporate coffee shops, and slightly cheaper than gas station coffee (plus tastes better too).
***Personal Story***
I bought this Keurig Platinum as a gift for my wife. She was spending 300 dollars a month on Starbucks chai tea lattes. I have used the machine for 5 months now, and so far, I am extremely happy with the results.
For one, my wife did like the Chai Tea latte offerings from the Keurig K-Cups. The only thing missing was the froth (which we solved by buying a frother). However, she soon discovered other flavors that surpassed her need for Chai teas. These include hot apple cider, and (not being a coffee drinker) the hazel nut coffee. Our Starbucks bill has lowered to about 30 bucks a month or less. The gift began strictly for her, but now we both use it daily and helps us stay awake throughout our busy lives at work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: 3D effects, tension builds, non-stop thrills
What's not so great: Certain scenes may not be believable (within context)
This is a great movie, the experience of 3D makes it all the better. I've stated before that Blu Ray movies in 3D are a much better experience at home because of the added resolution and this movie is no exception. The movie in itself is great, but I find it hard to believe that a single man can go through so much (avoiding spoilers so being vague) and accomplish all that he did (of course, within the context in the movie, I don't expect to believe that zombies are real).
That doesn't stop this movie from being great. If you are looking for a good movie that includes suspense, actual feelings of horror, the occasional "jump scare" and great 3D effects look no further. The movie uses both types of 3D effects, depth of field and "pop out" effects. I rather enjoy the latter.
This film rarely uses foul language and that is a plus, for many movies today find it necessary to include their F bombs galore.
Some people cry foul at the movie not adhering to the book, I never read the book, but had it not existed, the movie is great on its own.

Keep your head in the game with this Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 audio system. The SuperAmp audio controller is compatible with the PlayStation 4 Pro and standard, and the headset can be used alone with any 3.5mm jack. This Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 audio system brings comfort and audio quality together for long nights of action.
 

Will the black ps4 version of the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 with SuperAmp work the same on the Xbox One?

The Xbox controller has an auxiliary port. You can connect the headset using that auxiliary port directly without the Super AMP. The sound will come through and work.

Is It easy to connect for streaming on OBS?

Yes, it is. I use OBS and an ELGATO when capturing footage from my PS4. The problem I have when I connect a headset is that the audio cuts off and won't be heard by OBS. Through the Super Amp, the PS4 audio will come to your headset but the PS4 will still send out audio to the ELGATO. It's a neat solution to that problem, if you are willing to put up with all the cables that you will have to run (but that are all included).

Is it possible to have a separate modem for gaming on a PS4 system, than the modem that I already have set up for the rest of the household? I have satellite Internet service, and unfortunately there is considerable lag.

If you mean to have 2 modems by two different companies, yes, that is possible. However, this is a modem that works only for one ISP at a time. You can plug a router to it, but it wouldn't solve the issue of the lag that happens when gaming via satellite internet. That is a persistent issue that can't be solved because of the way that the internet arrives to your location. The only solution would be to change to a non-satellite ISP. I hope there is one in your area.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
 

Is the bulb soft/warm white or bright/daylight white?

The light looks soft warm yellow. All things in my room have a yellow tint now.

So I am new to this. I bought Microsoft Outlook home school and office and it was a one time purchase. Not a one year or two year. My thoughts were I don’t have to renew it all the time that’s why I paid more

That's correct. So long as what you bought isn't the Office 365 service, then you own this software forever. Compatibility updates are included, but when 2020 or other features occur, yours won't update to those unless you buy them as well. With Office 365, the subscription service, you get those services yearly. Don't forget the email you used to activate your product because if you ever need to re-download the software to a different computer, it is attached to that email key.

Can it scan photographs in color so I can print in a colored photo printer later?

Yes, it can. I scanned a very wrinkled certificate award I received from a state-wide competition. The scan appeared in color and I was able to print the colored version to my other printer using card stock, making myself a copy of the award in a crisp new look. Photos should work the same. I have included a picture of my scan (I turned the file into PDF, but jpeg and PNG (both photo files) were also options. Hope this answers your question.

can you record movies? quality? audio?

Hello. I recently reviewed this product. This device does not have a microphone, so it cannot record audio. The quality of the images is great but performs poorly in dark rooms. The file formats to choose from are live photo (iPhone), .MP4 (7 second limitation, no audio), and .GIF.
