Well, I don't really have a use for this, other than playing with a Chromebook. The build quality isn't great, so I don't think it will last too long, but maybe it will be sufficient for surfing the web while travelling on business.

Like the title states, this should be a Chromebook, NOT a laptop running any version of windows. It is extremely under-powered, and does not have enough ram / storage /processor power to be usable for anything other than internet browsing and email.
Unless I can find a use for it, it will be going back.

I bought this for my daughter, because of the specifications. The problem is that it just feels like cheap plastic, and I am afraid it is not going to hold up for very long. I guess time will tell.

I am glad that I got these on sale, for the money I paid, they sound pretty good. I don't know that I would be as happy with them if I had purchased them at retail pricing, as they are not anything spectacular.
Overall, these seem to sound pretty good for what they are. The build quality is okay although I'm not sure how well they will hold up over the long haul.

For what it is, it seems pretty decent at the sale price. 4TB is a fair amount of storage for a portable drive, although it does seem a little slow. Despite it's stated 5GB throughput rating, it is MUCH slower than that and I suspect part of the reason is the rotation speed. There are no published specs that I can find, but it performs like a 4800-5400 RPM drive, and I'm considering disassembly to see if there is anything on the drive label that gives better specs.
My biggest complaint is with the warranty, HDDs *used* to have a 3 year warranty from the big name manufacturers, now they only have a 2 year warranty or less. This is horrible as it allows manufacturers to use cheaper components with shorter lifespans and not worry about how well it is actually built and performing.

Full disclaimer, this has only been in use for about 2 days. I will update if there are any major changes to my opinion about it.
Initial impression: Nice fit, well designed band and clasp, seems accurate so far, software needs work
This is 2017, and a fitness tracker that can NOT show the battery status on the device is UNFORGIVABLE! This is a huge deal, especially for a device that is advertised to give 5-6 days of usage, it is critical to be able to check it on the fly. How hard is it to add a screen to show the current charge percentage? The app is also not great, while it displays the battery status, it only displays it as "full, medium, low" and it also seems a little "glitchy" as it does not always sync steps properly, leaving a disparity between the device and the app.

Braun - Clean & Charge Refills - Black
Keep your Syncro System or Flex System shaver running smoothly with these convenient cleaning cartridges.
Cleans pretty well
Customer Rating
4.0
I've been using this stuff for over a decade between my previous (Series 5) and my current (Series 7) Braun electric razors.
Over the years it seems that they *may* have adjusted the formula on this solution a little, as it doesn't seem to clean as well as it used to, but it does last a little longer (evaporates slower, less alcohol base?). Don't get me wrong, it does get the job done for the most part, but I find a little more stubble left in the blades after the cleaning cycle now than I used to. It still works well enough that I won't switch to anything else, I really like the system overall for ease of maintenance.
I don't have any empirical evidence, only my own observations, so take this as an informed opinion only.

Horrible
Customer Rating

This had a lot of promise, but ultimately is an absolute failure. It does not work with any "modern" version of Android, nor does it work with an iPhone 6.
It *may* have worked with previous versions of both operating systems, but it doesn't anymore. The best it does is adjust the phone volume up and down, nothing more. I could not get the play/pause/skip functions to work with any of my music apps, and the voice search function is an utter failure, as it fails to activate a voice search at all. Worst of all, it is not programmable.
If I could "adjust" or remap the buttons, or if iSimple had an updated firmware for it, then it might be okay with newer phones and devices.

I got these batteries for my Fitbit. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised to get less than a month's use out of each battery. I don't know if the cells I got were defective or not, but I certainly expected a much longer life time from them. The package indicated that they were good until 2018, but I don't know how old they actually were.

Nice Sleeve, Nice Price
Customer Rating

This laptop sleeve is pretty nice, and the price is even nicer. I'm not sure how, but BestBuy actually has a better price than most local competitors and online shops. The sleeve seems to be pretty durable and provides a reasonable amount of protection for your laptop. The stitching appears to be good, and looks like it will stand up to a fair amount of abuse. At the price, I don't think you will find a better product.

I am trying to decide on buying this one or the Samsung Evo 850 500gb for the same price. This will be for my CyberPowerPC with the AMD 5 processor. Any idea which may be a better fit?

Power your electronic devices when you're traveling with these travel power adapters that are compatible with the power voltage of various countries around the world.
Will this work in Australia
I am traveling from the US with items I purchased in the US items including a cell phone charger and MAC computer and camera battery charger to Australia. will this unit adapt power from Australia and also transform the current so that US items are not damaged. I understand that perhaps a regular adapter only will damage my items and I will need a transformer in the unit as well. Will this unit work and be safe?
No this will not work for your needs. There is no transformer in this at all, only the adapters that fit on the end of the power cord. You will need a separate transformer if your devices aren't auto switching.
