Logitech - Harmony Smart Control (Remote Control and Smart Hub) - Black
This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple® iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad® or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.
No way to charge or replace batteries. Setup so-so
Customer Rating
2.0
Setup was a pain to get this to work with my Amazon Alexa.
Lot to update, install, setup, re-setup, sync, troubleshoot.
And I still can't get all my channels recognized on Alexa.
The worst part is that the batteries in the remote are not rechargeable or replaceable.
So am I supposed to throw out the remote and try to find a new one when the batteries die?
Unacceptable.

Customer Rating

It'a a pretty slow laptop with 4gb of memory.
I had another 4gb to upgrade, but it's impossible to get the back off to access the memory.
HP couldn't have made this laptop any more difficult to work on.
I work on computers for a living. Been in IT for almost 30 years and have worked on everything from Apple to HP to Dell to NetApp and then some.
This is a nightmare.
For the price, it's just acceptable.
HP could have made this easier but chose not to.

What I needed but a bit buggy with Bluetooth
Customer Rating
4.0
I'm really enjoying the email and text notifications, when they work.
Unfortunately the Bluetooth needs to be re-paired every 2-3 days without notice.
Love the timer app for BBQing.
The dual time clock came in handy with my trip to Vegas.
All in all, a well spent $150.

What's great about it: nothing, it wont print text
What's not so great: It won't print text
This printer has an issue printing text.
I've read a ton of support cases and they all suggest the same, useless fixes.
Update driver.
Reinstall driver.
Update firmware.
None of these work.
Others have installed other HP drivers and have had limited success.
Who needs this headache?
Dont waste your time and money. Buy a different brand.

Sound Quality

What's great about it: sounds and looks great
What's not so great: The WOWWAY cable remote won't work with it
Before buying the Bose Solo, I investigated and found the remote codes for my wowway remote so I could control my tv, cable box, and Bose Solo from the same universal remote.
I bought the Solo, got it home, and couldn't get the remote to find the Solo.
Now I have to use 2 remotes to operate my tv.
Not happy, since I thought I'd finally found a solution to the issue that's been keeping me from purchasing a sound bar.
I'll keep digging, but it's getting discouraging...

What's not so great: wont work as a data sync cable. What's the point?
This cable will only charge your apple product.
It's apparently not a data cable.
I didn't know this was actually possible.
Stick with genuine Apple products if you don't want to hassle with returns...

What's great about it: Price, ease of use, trouble-free, near zero virus threat, fast, time-saving
What's not so great: None
This is, without a doubt, the best OS out there.
Trouble free, virus free, and just a dream to use.
Far less expensive than MS OS and far better on every level.
I talked my mother into switching to os x and my trips to her house to fix her computer went from twice a week to once a year (turned out her wireless router died).
Couldn't be happier with this OS.
The poor reviews crack me up.
Installation problems?
You've got to be kidding me!
How did you ever get MS OS installed?
It's easy to spot the trolls on this review board.

The upgrade to Snow Leopard is $29!
MS upgrade is over $120 - $320!!!
So much for the Mac Tax.

Hi, I am planning to buy this, but i want to know if the batteries are rechargeable for the remote? I am not able to find the information in the specs. Please advise? Thank you,
No. The batteries are not rechargeable or replaceable.
You would have to crack the remote open, use a solder to remove the battery, and solder on a new one.

Can I reduce and enlarge with this printer?
Sometimes I need to reduce or enlarge a diagram, for instance. Does this printer have the capability to perform this function?
This printer is incapable of printing.
So no, it cant reduce and enlarge.
Steer clear of this printer.
Worst headache of any printer I've ever owned.

I've got this hooked up to my 50" Panasonic plasma and it sounds great.
It's sitting on the shelf under my TV.
