I bought this for my Papago GoSafe 550 but did not worked because it had a bigger plug. The one star rating is because the kit dose not come with the adapter to connect to a car's fuse box. If you want to tap to the fuse box with this kit, you must also a fuse tap connector.

I have enjoyed playing many of my favorite games on this laptop. The specs make this laptop a perfect portable gaming device. The battery has a long battery life and it is lightweight for a 15-inch laptop. It has an impressive graphics performance powered by AMD RYZEN 5 processor and RX Radeon graphics card, which is very good for a gaming experience. It has superior cooling and it includes the option to increase or reduce the fan speed to avoid overheating when gaming.
The laptop is designed for gamers with a cool black and red color scheme. The keyboard is comfortable with backlit. The size of the mouse touch pack is decent and it is very responsive. The speakers are on the bottom of the keyboard. I am able to connect everything I need with all the provided ports. It includes 1 AC Power port, headphone jack, 3 USB, 1 USB-C type, Ethernet, 1 HDMI, SD card slot, and a lock slot. Another awesome feature about this laptop is that it is user upgradable. The display is very good and the games look very awesome.
This laptop is definitely built to game without limits. The features of a gaming desktop all in a portable laptop that can handle any gaming performance. This is a cool laptop for an incredible gaming experience.

This laptop has truly impressed me. It is amazing in quality and has a top end
resolution. Moreover, it is very simple and easy to set up, use, and to adapt to. As promised, this computer allows one to be more productive, working efficiently with the touch-screen feature (very responsive), and it is also highly personalized to meet one’s specific needs. The keyboard has easy-to-read keys and has a well illuminated backlit feature. It is easy and comfortable to type. The size of the mouse touchpad decent which is smooth and very responsive.
Furthermore, it works smoothly. Windows Hello (face recognition) feature works adequately when the device is put at a certain distance from the face. I am especially fond of Windows Ink as it promotes competence in any project or assignment I work on; I also enjoy drawing. Its performance is great as it works quickly and has sufficient battery life. The speakers have remarkable stereo quality, which I am very excited about. Topping it off, this convertible 2-in-1 laptop has aesthetic look and promising storage.

The antenna is great; it is designed for outdoor or indoor use, with table/floor stand, pole or wall mount. It comes with the necessary hardware to install in pole or wall and the mounting allows the antenna to swivel for any adjustments. The antenna is multi-directional which is suitable for indoors. It is rated at 65 miles for indoors and 80 miles for outdoors (equivalent to rather large and ugly-looking older antennas). Now I get a boost reception rage and more channels with this ANTOP antenna. My Smart TV now gets 83 channels compared to 61 from the other older antenna I was using. I am very satisfied with how this device looks and the high quality - very clear- reception it gets. I am using the table/floor stand but when I get approval from my community HOA, I will install it next to a window. I am very confident it will get approval because this antenna looks a lot nicer than those metal satellite dishes that most residents have on the houses.

This 2-in-1 Chromebook has quickly become my favorite device as it is small enough to take on-the-go, can be detached from the keyboard and used as a “tablet” and on top of that, its appearance is nice and sleek. It feels solid and high quality. The active pen that comes with the laptop is simple to use, and the loop on the side of the keyboard makes it easy to keep the pen in one place. Furthermore, the battery life lasts longer than 10 hours without charge, which is what makes this device a good option for travel. The size of the keypad is big enough to move the pointer around and is not bothersome as the texture is smooth and leveled to the rest of the keyboard. The keys don’t feel cramped which makes typing comfortable. The best feature is the screen, it is bright and with amazing resolution. The speakers are along the edges of the screen, which is hidden but it is great to have them sounding towards you because it makes the sound more clear and efficient. The sound level and quality are great. The thing that makes this 2-in-1 Chromebook the best is the ability to detach the screen and use is a tablet. For other 2-in-1 devices, one would have to fold the keyboard all the way back to convert the laptop into a tablet mode, so it would end up with a keyboard on the back, making it awkward to handle. This HP 2-in-1 design really sets it apart from other laptops. This is a premium Chromebook that I enjoy using.

This digital surround headphone system is the best I have tried and my son can vouch for that. He is an extreme gamer and he loves it. These headphones are designed for TV watching experience and my son was able to connect the tower to his Xbox with a digital optical cable. There are 3 methods of connection to the tower: Aux, HDMI (ARC) and optical. For the best sound experience, HDMI or optical is the way to go. The ear-cups are soft, and comfortably fit well in your head; it is a good flush fit. The headbands do have a very soft cushion band at the top that keeps it comfortable for hours of use. There are three buttons on the headphones: power, volume control, and a sound field. The sound field is great and you have the option for cinema, game, sports or voice. The charging/signal tower has in connection for aux, optical and HDMI. The tower has three main buttons: power, sound field, and input. The input is to indicate what type of connection (HDMI, optical or analog). The tower also has a front display that indicates the current sound field mode selection and the type of input. It does great at ambient sound reduction, and helps maximize the sound quality. The overall audio quality is the best with a warm inviting sound that brings the TV watching experience to life. Since the headphones are meant to be used for TV watching experience, it does not come with a microphone.

This is the second dash cam I have owned and after a few weeks of using it, I am very pleased with it. The three main strengths found with the Rexing V1P dash cam is that it is extremely easy to install, recorded video/audio is excellent quality, and works effortlessly on its own.
The dash cam is very lightweight and made of durable plastic.
INSTALLATION: The kit includes all the required hardware and cables to complete the installation. All cables are long enough for all vehicles -the rear camera extension cable is over 18 ft long. Depending on your vehicle, tools may not be necessary. Nylon cable ties might be used to tie the cables underneath the dashboard to avoid them dangling down. I ran the wires on the side of the car without any issue, I attached the rear camera from the inside of the hatchback door. Once the installation is complete, the buttons on the sides turn the lens up and down to adjust them for the best angle.
RECORDING: Inserting and formatting the memory card was easy to setup; Rexing recommends a “High-endurance” Micro SD Card. It does loop recordings, once the memory is full it records over the prior recordings. It has a collision sensor to prevent images captured during the collision from being deleted. The camera records at a wide field of view and the quality is perfect. In case you are in an accident, you want good images as evidence. Rexing cam produces good quality images. Saving money on a cheap camera will cost you more when you lose a case in an accident for not have quality images. This is the main purpose of a dash cam. It can be used to file a claim with the insurance company.
WORKS PERFECTLY: The Rexing dash cam records everything in front and rear of a vehicle. The rear cam isn’t as a high resolution as the front camera but it is good enough to record vehicles behind. I connected the dash cam to my computer using the included USB cable to playback the video recorded. The front and the back camera videos are stored in chronological order and in separate files.
Overall, I am satisfied with this product, if I am in an accident it would be very valuable. I highly recommend this a dash cam to be installed in all vehicles. This product could save you money.

As a smoothie fanatic, I was very excited to try this blender. It is fairly easy to start using it - just give it a wash, and it is good to go. The setup is a simple process as well. After putting the desired ingredients into the container, top it with the blade, and place it on the base. Tilt it to the side to start it, and then back to stop it. This simplicity of the machine is what encourages me to use it. My favorite part - which I believe is what really makes this blender a five-star product - is how efficient the Nutribullet Balance App is. After downloading it, just connect it to the blender through Bluetooth. This app shows a variety of distinct recipes for smoothies, dips, salad dressings, and soups that you could make with the blender. When following a recipe, the app will tell you how much of each ingredient you need and will alert you when you have put enough or too much. I am especially fond of this feature as no separate measuring cup or tools are actually needed. The app will also control the amount of time the blender is on, turning it off automatically. Moreover, this app allows you to keep track of all nutritional facts in your drink, soup, dressing etc. This is imperative for developing a healthier lifestyle. Cleaning it is an effortless task as long as you rinse it immediately after use. Essentially, I am highly satisfied with this product and I am sure I’ll be using it regularly.

The Turtle Beach Stream MIc is very easy to set up and it sounds great. It is universally compatible with most devices via a USB cord. I use it a lot on my XBox One and it works perfectly; not all mics work with Xbox, it must be compatible. It focuses on your voice so it works well in noisy rooms. My fellow gamers can hear me loud and clear.
Assembly is relatively easy and it offers the option for a stand-alone on a desktop mount or installs on a boom clamp holder arm with the provided adaptor. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. It is compact and lightweight which makes it easy to move it from one place to another.
Very important, make sure the mic has the latest firmware and use the app designed for the Turtle Beach mic. Its digital voice processing tools give you a ton of options to play without the need to buy outside software or hardware (e.g. like a capture card). Properly setting up this mic you will get close to professional sounding product, you will sound like a pro.
The Stream Mic works on a variety of room environment and uses. Simply press the button on the mic to switch from different modes/patterns. The LED color light on the mic indicates the selected mode. The main mode is green which is the cardioid mode, it captures the sound on the front of the mic. Each mode has a customisable mic pattern and sensitivity setting. It comes with 4 modes, (Cardioid, Bi-Directional, Hypercardiod, and Omnidirectional) and with the option to install more patterns.
In conclusion, this is the perfect all-in-one solution for live-streaming video games and recording voice. My son and I love this mic.

The cord length is enough to offer the option for different types of computer setups. The surface area is big enough which also allows you to move the mouse a lot without it going off the edge. The product is well made with a durable plastic surface. The cord is high quality made and has a protective braided outer layer. This is a great mouse pad that will add to your overall gaming experience.

Why I see this tv offered to me at 479.00 and when I clicked on it has a 599 price instead??????

This has happened to me and I think this might be your reason why you see a different price. Sometimes BestBuy does offer a different price but the tradeoff is that it is an open box item. When a product has an available open box, it will show you the different prices. Sometimes availability of an open box depends on your location; it looks like they do open-boxes within a certain distance from your location. So, if you are doing a search on BestBuy.com for a particular product and the browser has a different zip code (auto fills the zip code) other than your location it will give you the price for the wrong location. Once you enter your correct zip code at checkout (or before) it will change or state that it is not available. I live in Florida and many times my browser sometimes gives a zip code from different states, like NY or NH.
Another possibility is that an Open-item was available when you started doing your search and just before deciding to checkout it is no longer available because had already bought it online or in the store. Nowadays, many stores are fulfilling their online purchase with their own store inventory, not from a warehouse.
BestBuy has 3 types of Open-Box products:
1) Excellent
2) Satisfactory (in-store only)
3) Fair (in-store only)

Is this speaker drop proof

The top and bottom sides of the speaker are made of a hard plastic material which probably breaks easily. It is not insulated by any silicon or rubber type material, the bottom has some rubber but that is to prevent skids. So, I will not think that they can hand a heavy drop, maybe from a table to floor distance but I would be careful.

JBL - LINK 20 Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Google Assistant - Black
Listen to music for up to 10 hours with this black JBL portable speaker. It has a built-in Google Assistant that responds to voice commands, and it delivers rich stereo sound while you stream music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This water-resistant JBL portable speaker is made of durable materials, so you can use it outdoors safely.
 

I want the JBL Link 20 in white. Is it available? And how do I order it?

I have seen these in white but I am not sure if this store sales them in that color. White is a very nice color but if it will handle a lot to move it from place to place the cloth-like material surround the speaker might get dirty and not stay white. This is just like white vehicle compares to a darker color vehicle, you will see them dirty more quickly. If you get white and you want to clean the side, then this will be no issue because these speakers are water-resistant.
