I bought this laptop under the impression it had Bluetooth available. With only 3 USB ports available and the cost to purchase a Bluetooth 4,0 dongle I decided to return this computer for another model. I ended up fetting a Lenovo 11 inch Flex 3. but that's another story.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I began my attempts to buy an appropriate laptop I wanted something inexpensive but I didn't expect to get this. It says 32GB of space which I understood that a portion of that would be taken up by the Windows 10 Operating System Backup, What I found unacceptable was the fact that it only showed 18GB total and only 15GB were actually available. I couldn't get an answer from the Best Buy Geek Squad as to where the other 17 GB were. I ultimately returned this laptop for another.

When it comes to button cell batteries I never experience any differences in performance among manufacturers. Awfully expensive for no noticable increase in performance or quality.

I bought this Card so I could download large files on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Normally you cant format NTSF but with the Paragon program you can. First you need to Partition the memory card so that about 64GB is FAT32 so the phone can read it. The remaining 64GB should be NTSF. The way Paragon works is it uses a folder called "mount" located in the FAT32 partition. you then mount the other half (64GB) of the 128GB memory card (NTSF) to the "mount" folder of the FAT32 partition. Confused? I was too but it worked. Hallelujah!

This mouse functions as it should. There are similar models from Logitech for slightly less but they each require a wireless USB dongle while this model is compatible with similar Logitech USB dongles so you don't need to take up more than one USB port for multiple Logitech devices in the same family. Ultimately I would have preferred a bluetooth mouse and not use any of my USB ports.

how do I know the geek squad refurbished it right, I can't even get to call me back when I call!!!

There really isn't much the geek squad can do to screw it up. If when you started the laptop and it asked you to input the user administrator data and time zone etc. then you should be fine. Now getting them to care enough to call you back will never happen. they really cant provide you much assistance over the phone. Always go into the store if you really need the to help you. Aside from that the Geek Squad are not much differently trained than the usual Best Buy Sales Floor employee. If you want real answers go to places like YouBreakIFix or look up a specialty PC repair store. Lastly Beggars Cant be choosers. Educate yourself if you want real help. I didnt go to school for anything computer or electronic related. I utilized the internet and Wikipedia to learn on my own. NewEgg.com is a good source to explore whats out there.

HTC One M8

Are there any issues with using the card in a Verizon HTC One M8? I have some formatting issues previously with a 64 GB version of the card. I am interested in purchasing a replacement for my current 64 GB which has become corrupt.

Thanks,
http://www.phonearena.com/news/SanDisk-says-it-produced-some-bad-32GB-and-64GB-microSD-cards_id40986

I recommend reading up on the issue but SanDisk admited to knowing about the issue and supposedly corrected it. I too bought a bad 64GB SD card. I just bought a new one from best buy and placed the corrupted one back in the packaging and returned it to best buy explaining that i just bought the card and it wont allow me to format it. They just took my word for it and the new card has worked just fine ever since. REMEMBER SSD's ONLY HAVE SO MANY READ/WRITE INSTANCES. THEY ALL EVENTUALLY GO BAD UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL HDD's which can still go bad over time but that is due to the moving parts while an SSD's sectors or blocks will actually stop working.

Read/write speeds

Other websites list this as having 30mb/s. Yet BB lists this as having 48mb/s. Which is it?
It is 48. It says so right on the package. There is a slower speed model available but this one is 48.
