I’m happy with the tracker. It has less features than the Microsoft band but it is more comfortable. Battery lasts long enough it isn’t constantly needing a charge. It’s main perk is that the brand is most popular so more people use the app to help motivate each other. The tap function and raise wrist to light display features don’t work too well. Glad I didn’t get aria as badly as the tap works. I wish there were more options for the default screen layout.

JAM - Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Gray

Decent BT Stereo sound; not loud
Customer Rating
4.0
I don't know if there are other Bluetooth cordless speakers that work in stereo from a single device, but these are the first I have seen. They work well for music on the go with my iPhone. They are about the size of a small coffee cup - like an 8 oz one - about 3 x 4" each. They use standard USB charge cables. Overall I like them but I have a tiny pop canz speaker that has lots more volume vs size than these. I can hear them fine, I just expected more due to the size. They work great and honestly for the times I find these useful, the volume is loud enough since I don't want to drown out conversation. They are on sale quite often lately and they are a bargain on sale for what you get.

If you've had a kindle you know it's more like reading a book page. Some will prefer it enough to have this device. My elderly mother uses the version of this that connects to cell towers and is able to download her own books from her subscription service. She had trouble removing them once she hits the download limit. I have this version. If you have wifi, I think this is the best option if you have the money. I don't see much purpose in the upgrade and I don't know who wants a bigger bezel. The touch works fine. My only complaint is there is no speaker and at this price it should. I had to buy an adapter to have books read to me. The text to speech is very good and realistic.

This is a big machine - the big tower everyone had before the move to small computers. It takes up quite a bit of space but you buy this for power not to conserve space. Not all i7 chips are the same. Laptops and tablets have chips designed to save battery life and not run as hot. As a result - slow processing. I had forgotten how fast a full size machine can really churn through processing images, etc. if you need the power, this is a great option - plus my DVD writer is back onboard.

There are very few headphones that work with Bluetooth. There are plenty of tiny headsets for cellphones but not suited for 8 hours of calls. Luckily this one is close to perfect. It's light and comfortable for what it is. It doesn't get hot on the ears. It's call quality on skype is as good as I've had on any device. It connects via Bluetooth dongle or directly over Bluetooth. I could not get it successfully connected to my laptop without dongle but I'm glad it ended up that way. It has a flip switch to use the dongle or just the Bluetooth. Once connected to my mobile phone, I can switch from computer to phone via the headphone switch. Awesome. The experience for whomever is on the other end is as good as any headset I've owned. This picks up my voice and suppresses other noise better. I have devices that can go further from source but this one is adequate. I can go to another room but not much further. I'd say it'll go 25 to 30 feet but I haven't tested without obstructing walls.

Withings - Smart Body Analyzer - Black
Track your weight, body fat and heart rate over time with this Withings WS-50-BLACK smart body analyzer, which features Position Control technology for precise monitoring and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology for uploading data to a compatible device.
Good if you track weight on iPhone
Customer Rating
4.0
I have been using an app to plot what I eat against my weight. This works very well so that I don't have to remember to enter my weight by hand. The withings app can write data into my iPhone's built in health app. It's kind of pricy for what it is but it works. The scales look nice but they must be cleaned often. These look dirty quickly. The air quality monitor isn't of much use to me but I actually like the weather forecast app. The fat percentage and heartbeat indicators aren't that helpful thus far. I've never found that very accurate on any scales I've had. If I step on the scales twice, my weight is different up to 2 lbs. but I'm happy with my purchase.

Apple Watch™ Sport 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case - Space Gray Sports Band
Apple Watch is an incredibly customizable timepiece, has entirely new ways to stay in touch, and is a comprehensive health and fitness companion.
Nice but response issues
Customer Rating
3.0
I've used the Microsoft band in the past and this offers much more functionality. Overall it's a nice product and works well with the apple infrastructure. The number of default apps installed that cannot be uninstalled is a little bothersome. It's easy to get an overwhelming screen of apps. It takes a week to get used to using the functions and getting it set up. Having to charge the watch daily gets a little annoying but I can't fault the watch for that - technology can only do so much. My main complaint is the watch really lags when using apps. I think that is probably a limitation of technology right now also but I don't have anything for comparison. The default functions work better. I do like the watch but I only use it for a couple of apps and the notifications because of the delay. I've gone back to pulling my phone out for most things.

Best I've found for jogging
Customer Rating
4.0
I bought these to replace another brand that developed a crackle in my left ear when I went on jogs. The other pair had smaller buds but a control and mic on the cord that pulled the buds out of my ears when I jogged. I chose these because another review indicated a jogging magazine awarded these their number 1 Bluetooth pick for jogging. So far, I can agree these are very good for jogging and any other workout where one is jostling around. The fit is very secure - I tried to shake them from my ears by jumping around and they didn't budge at all. These are the only earbuds I've had that I couldn't dislodge by jumping around. I'm loving that. The earbuds themselves are kind of big and stick out almost an inch from the ear. I have bumped into the buds because of the distance they hang out, but they haven't fallen out. Otherwise I don't notice they are sticking out. I'm not a super fan of how obvious they are, but the Bluetooth light is discreet which I like at night. They have better sound than my previous headset, but they aren't as clear as the LG infinims I tried. I'm not an audio expert so I can't explain the difference exactly, but some detail is lost with these - maybe slightly muddier sound. But they have more bass which I like. These excel at blocking out background noise - this could be good or bad depending on where you work out. The earbuds get plenty loud for my needs but I believe they block the higher volumes. I remove one star because I think I should have the option if I want more volume. I haven't tested how long these will last on one charge, but my iPhone indicator shows these have plenty of charge left after using them for 2 hours at near max volume. They have a single button to control all functions. Some don't like this feature, but I actually think it's easier to use. All my other headphones I struggle finding the right button. The controls are very simple and I think they are simpler to use. I am hopeful these will last. I have jogged once in the rain with no problem.

Microsoft - Sculpt Comfort Wireless Optical Mouse - Black
Microsoft Sculpt Comfort H3S-00003 Wireless Mouse: This ergonomic, right-handed mouse features a scooped thumb design and a 4-way scroll wheel for easy Web browsing. Blue Track technology allows accurate use across a wide range of surface types.
Best option for MS Surface Mouse
Customer Rating
5.0
I believe this is the best mouse readily available from best buy for the Microsoft surface. Since surface only has a single USB port, a Bluetooth mouse is necessary. Be aware most desktop computers do not have Bluetooth functionality and this will not work. But this is a great option for laptops. This has great tracking on most surfaces - even glass. I've only had lag on white surfaces. I haven't had a cordless mouse in many years and the lack of delay is nice. This is well weighted after a battery is inserted. It is about the size of a traditional course mouse which I prefer. The smaller ones don't fit in the palm. It is ergo designed which is nice but means this won't work for left hand. Battery life varies greatly with usb mice. You will want to compare this. Per Microsoft support, this should have battery life comparable to its travel counterpart which is one of the best of current options. It has a blue touch sensitive pad by the thumb rest. It launches the start menu and I have grown to love this feature.

This worked well with my Microsoft surface to provide sub ports for external use dvd drive and sub mouse connectivity. Although it helps with portability, the short cable causes the entire contraption to dangle in the air. The box is small but I believe there are smaller available options. Works as expected.

Can I use the wifi to send wireless video to a monitor?
Yes. I don't know if a tv exists that has the technology buult in. You usually need a powered USB port off back of monitor and video port (like hdmi) available on tv. The technology Microsoft uses is miracast or something like that. Best Buy sells the adapter you plug into the tv - usually near the surface. Chrome cast is another implementation of the technology. Apple works uses airplay (on Apple TV device).
