This thing sounds absolutely incredible. It has ACTUAL bass, the treble and midrange are crystal clear, and the volume can be cranked WAY up without distortion.
I absolutely LOVE this little speaker and would be it again in a heartbeat if it were to break on me.
Only thing that would make it slightly better would be built wireless to connect it to my home network and stream music saved on my hard drive, like Sonos.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Home Mini (1st Generation) - Smart Speaker with Google Assistant - Chalk
Home Mini (1st Generation) - Smart Speaker with Google Assistant - Chalk
Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

I've been an Alexa user since Amazon first offered them to Prime members, and have always been curious if the Google Home was any better. When the price on the Home Mini dropped, I figured I'd try it out and see.
After using it for a couple weeks, it does some things better than Alexa (smart home integration is easier to manage for one, searching the web for things is MUCH better), and some things worse (sound quality with music, staying connected to my wireless network).
Overall I'd say it's great for the price, but I prefer it in conjunction with Alexa, as opposed to instead of her.

Put this thing in-between our kitchen and dining room and it's a great TV. Nice picture quality after tweaking the factory settings a bit. Out of the box it was so-so.
The other bummer is the speaker is on the back, so when we have it pivoted to the dining room for our son but are doing work in the kitchen, we hear everything REALLY loud, and he can barely hear it.
Totally null and void if you're adding a sound bar, but worth taking into consideration if you're not.

Far Cry 4 is fun, but I was a little bummed it's pretty much the same game as Far Cry 3, just in a new location with a few new vehicles and animals. Other than that, it's the same game. Not a bad thing, as Far Cry 3 was INSANELY good, but I just wish they had thought a little more outside the box is all. If you liked Far Cry 3, you'll like Far Cry 4 for sure!

Bought this to add storage to my Xbox One and I couldn't be happier. Games installed on this hard drive actually load FASTER than games installed on the internal hard drive!!! I've since moved everything but apps off the internal Xbox hard drive and am very happy. :)

Forza Horizon 1 was a blast, and 2 ups the fun factor BIG TIME!!! A million killer cars, TONS of incredible mods/upgrades, countless amazing races, Storm Island add-on is the first time I've spent money on in-game-content and felt like I actually got my money's worth. Just plain fun. Get this game, play the heck out of it and thank me later. I love this game so much I actually purchased it twice. 1st copy was stolen during a party we had. :(

Really happy with this thing, but Amazon has it WAY cheaper, so make sure you get BB to price match. No sense in over-spending on old USB 2.0 tech when you can get a USB 3.0 hub for the same price these days.
My older iMac only has USB 2.0, so this was all I needed. It tucks into the little cubby in my desk perfectly and works just like it should.

Bought this for my wife and she likes it, but it's wildly inaccurate. You can open the app on your phone and shake your wrist around a bit while sitting on the couch and watch the step count rapidly increase.
It does help her stay motivated to be active, but she never really had a problem with that before she got this. :)
Drop the price by $50 and it'd be worth it. Otherwise, I'd rather spend a little more on a Garmin or something that uses GPS to actually KNOW whether you're walking/running/etc. or just shaking your wrist.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can I use this for a Mac and PC at the same time?

Most hard drives can be formatted for 1 or the other. Can't imagine this one would be any different.
