This is my 3rd battery for my new spark and planning on getting at least one more soon (once I get more points). One key thing after you charge it. Don't forget you probably have to upgrade the firmware which takes about 5 minutes. You won't be able to fly with it until you do.

I had 3 Jawbones in the past (trying to save money) and had problems with each of them over a 2 year period. I finally broke down and went the Fitbit route which I had heard great things about but didn't want to pay that little bit (~20%?) more...but so glad I finally did. I LOVE this band. It is so comfortable that I don't even feel like I am wearing it...even when I'm sleeping!
Love the fact that the band strap has a little divider/insert (not sure what to call it) that prevents it from slipping out.
The app is good but could use a few minor tweaks but overall it works really well. My charge lasts for about 4-5 days on average so no real complaints there.
Overall I am very pleased with this band. And the fact that it was on sale for $130 and I had $25 in Reward certificates made it a no brainer.

While I'm not a Mac fan, this was for my daughter and she was really insistent on one. After saving for half of it we shopped around and found this on sale for $1050 ($250 off). I wanted to get the bigger hard drive and more Ram but only the 15" come with 16gb ram and after doing some research the mac o/s only takes about 20gb total after you remove many of the non-essential apps. She doesn't do video editing so the 95gb of free space should last for several years. The wifi is very good on it compared to other machines and phones we have (as long as you have a good network) and system and app speed are very quick also.
Overall a good machine. I would give it 5 stars if the ram was upgradeable easily.

Added this to my wife's kindle fire 8gb and then moved most possible apps over to it and works great. Now she has over 50% free storage on the device.
It comes with an SD adapter also so if you want to use this as a full sd card you can also.

I was a little skeptical about this at first due to the reviews on the smaller sizes of it. Took a gamble as it was on sale for a little over three hundred bucks and not disappointed at all. Bought this as I was cutting the cord with Comcast and wanted a decent Smart TV but didn't want to break the bank. Love the fact that Roku is built in and added several subscriptions services and very very impressed.
Image quality is not great with lower definition on DVD quality images but any Blu-ray or hi-def images look great. As it's a 55 inch TV, be sure to be at least seven feet away for optimal viewing.
Sound quality straight out of the TV is ok but not great but once connected to the home theater via a digital optical cable it works perfectly.
The tiny Roku remote takes a little getting used to especially with the volume buttons on the side of it but it's not that bad and actually nice that it's not a huge remote anymore.
Overall very great value for the price. Not disappointed.

Not much to say about this. Glad I got it as an open box for about 5 bucks cheaper also. Connected my new smart TV to my home theater and needed the audio connection through. Worked perfectly!

I cut my cable and phone lines with comcast and wanted to eliminate the $10/mth rental charge for the modem (i have my own wifi router that is much better than theirs) so I picked up this modem. Purchased this higher grade one as I have blast (200mb download) and assume it will only get faster so didn't go for the cheaper model that probably would have been fine.
Well I was pleasantly surprised to see that I now get about 15% faster downloads at about 230mbps. :) The hardest part of the setup was getting ahold of comcast to reset the modem. Overall it was about 15-20 minutes but just waiting for several reboots of the modem.

Can you change how long the time display stays on?

No. Unfortunately this is a known limitation that they are looking to make configurable in the future but for now you get the 2-3 seconds only.

What version of Roku is this and what are the preinstalled apps, Is it versatile like Samsung app store, For example to you have Yupp TV or SlingTV app that can be installed

It updates to the latest version (mine says 7.5.0) and you can get sling, hulu, netflix, cbs, abc, etc. Not sure about the other app. Check roku.com for all apps supported..there are thousands!

Why can't I change (cable) TV channels using the Roku Remote?

Because the roku controls your tv not your cable or satellite box and its not programmable.

How do I hook up surround sound system to the TV

Use a digital optical cable that you can get for about $15 depending on the length. I did and it works great!

is this compatible with go pro?

i just bought a new go pro and need a new SD card - will this work for it?
It depends on what version your GoPro is. If it takes a Micro-SD card (tiny one), this will work. If it's just and SD card then this will not. At least not without an adapter that takes it from a micro to SD card size.
