Compared in identical 2 AA LED flashlight, the Energizer actually lasted 4 hours longer than the blue/silver Best Buy brand. On the other hand, there is a 50% price advantage for the BB brand.

This will give your sluggish laptop a new lease on life. 120GB might appear small, but if you store stuff on back-up drives, 120GB will do fine on the laptop. Win10 takes about 20GB which leaves plenty of space for other programs and files. The speed boost for start up and program loading on an older laptop is just a amazing. Make this your main drive and use the old HDD as on of your back-up drives.

Had a similar vac before that did not do very well. Had reservations about this one, but it is doing really well. The brushroll does not spit stuff all over and the vacuum power is pretty good for this size. You do need to clean the filter often because suction power drops when it fills up, but so far I'm impressed and would recommend it to people looking for a small vac for small places and for picking up the errand crumbs around the kitchen or dining table. I would keep the "big" vacuum cleaner for whole house jobs.

Had it for about 8 month now. Still like it very much. Good screen, touch works quite well and the SSD makes it very responsive. The keyboard is the reason I only gave 4 stars. Lenovo in their wisdom decided to shrink the right shift key and move it further to the right, into a position where you have to reach over the "up arrow" key to reach it. Not smart, very inconvenient and irritating. Their suggested FIX is to remap the keys via a free Windows program from the web...Get real Lenovo
I did re-map mine and switched key caps. Also added bump to the "up arrow" key to let my little finger find it.

On sale at BB this laptop was hard to resist. We were going to return it due to that ridiculous placement of the right shift key, but decided to put a sticker on the in-between (up arrow) key so that the right hand little finger notices that it is not the shift key. So far that is working. Can not believe Lenovo messed with a standard keyboard layout. The other issue is the slower than molasses 1TB HDD. Laptop felt like it was running on a 386 processor...lots of HDD noise but poor performance. Start up took more than 2 minutes! We changed the HDD to a 480GB SSD and now the Laptop feels like it's running on a i5.
An additional $100 later we enjoy this laptop and have decided to keep it.

I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if BB would let me. Bought this to replace a Moto G3. Screen and body shape are great. Phone is is marginally larger (in height) than the the G3 but runs rings around it in ease of use, resolution, features and battery life. It came with Android 6 but an update to 7 has been promised. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Finger print reader works 95% of the time, 5% falls back to your pre-selected numeric password. Weakest point is the 16MP back camera. Performance is sluggish and the HDR option is so slow you need to have extra support to hold it still....Mine has a focus problem when using the camera sport setting. Most other camera features work ok, but I wish the flash was also stronger. In comparison to the Moto G3 camera the camera on the BLU rates a 2 out of 5 while the Moto was a 4 out of 5.
If you are looking for a inexpensive phone with an HD screen, 64GB of memory and 4B Rom, this phone is for you. If you are looking for a camera centric phone, keep looking.

Printer works well, mostly. The duplex print function likes to eat the paper tho.
All print and scan works well. Scan is relatively slow, but at this price you can't complain.
HP's "instant ink" keeps popping quite often until you sign up. Hope it will go away after 3 month.
