Need for Speed: Rivals - PRE-OWNED - Xbox One
Are you a go-getting risk-taker who loves to live on the edge and reap the rewards of high-stakes gambling? Or are you a live-by-the-rules, stand-up citizen who finds value in upholding the law and protecting your fellow citizens? Regardless of your priorities, Need for Speed: Rivals has a role for you. Strap yourself in and get ready to ride as you take to the streets of Redview County. An all-out war between racers and cops greets you around every corner as you take street racing to the next level with the fastest cars, mods and technology in a gritty open-road environment. Whether you're risking it all to cross the finish line first or using an impressive array of advanced pursuit technology to bust the ne'er-do-wells of Redview County, your need for speed is sure to be satisfied.Get ready for some adrenaline-pumping, high-stakes rivalry as either a lone-wolf racer out for your own glory, or a member of the police force on the hunt to bust the law-breakers. Each side has their own unique set of cars, technology, play styles and careers. Aren't sure which side you fall on? Need for Speed: Rivals allows you to experience them both with a progression system built for each side. The new gambling scoring system lets you decide if you want to wager your speed points to shoot for a higher multiplier and greater rewards, or play it safe and bank your speed points when you return to a hideout.

Certainly not a simulator when it comes to physics, but it's a lot of fun even if a little silly overall when it comes to the 'big bad cop' mentality... They even portray the cops as these guys that want to break the rules and take justice into their own hands. Other than that, it's good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

... But not quite. While I try to purchase economic friendly products where possible, nearly anything works better to clean stainless than this stuff, it really made it look like someone smeared lard all over the fridge. Comparatively, plain water, glass cleaner, or a dry cloth work infinitely better. Seriously, this stuff really shouldn't be sold.

I bought this to replace a slow spindle drive in a 2009 MacBook pro, thinking I would breathe new life into the old laptop; however, it's barely better than the 5400 ram drive it replaced. Read latency is of course faster, but throughput is 20% of advertised speed, and random i/o is dismal. Wish I could return this and just pony up a few more dollars for a Samsung Evo or similar quality ssd drive, as this isn't it.

Sound is good for a piece this small, but the downsides really outweigh the good. It's the first clock I've required the instructions to simply set the time on, as they've poorly tried to minimize buttons to the point of making it hard to use. That said, the big killer on this is the alarm. If you hit snooze at all, you'd better be awake enough to see the exact spot, because if you miss (or hit snooze a few times) it will help you out by just turning off the alarm. Brilliant!

What's great about it: Easy to use for android users, easy setup, screen is excellent brightness and high resolution
What's not so great: Performance issues, keyboard lag
Overall this tablet has a lot going for it, it looks nice, has a quad core processor, the external keyboard dock is a fantastic idea. However, for all its good, the performance of the stock 4.1 and now 4.2 ROMs leaves a lot to be desired. Couple that with Asus voiding your warranty for changing to a "good Rom" (note: they can do this from the find my tablet as well, so if you plan to root or mod your tablet, be aware!) make this much less appetizing. Owning an iPad 2, Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and this, I would say the iPad wins hands down on smoothness and speed (the wife won't even use the droid tabs), but the Asus clearly wins in the display and expandability department. If Asus were to fix the laggy and sluggish response that happens after using it, they would have a winner. As it stands, frequent (monthly) factory resets with cold boots in between seem to be all I can do to keep my warranty AND have reasonable speed surfing the Internet.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold

Mouse for Infinity keyboard

What are some suggestions for a mouse for the transformer infinity keyboard?
A touchpad comes with it, so any mouse should work if you prefer; however, be aware many android apps don't seem to use the touchpad or mouse... Pocket cloud pro for instance doesn't allow mouse support on Remote Desktop or VNC machines annoyingly enough!

Is the Transformer Human Interface Device Profile (HID) compatible?

Using the keyboard dock USB port, I have successfully used several HID devices. While I obviously haven't tried all combinations, it is surprisingly capable, even recognizing my phones (iPhone and android) and successfully mounting the volumes the contain. Haven't tried a keyboard (as I have the dock), but the three or four mice types I've plugged in all work wonderfully.

Why do all of the pictures show a keyboard with no disclaimer?

I actually thought a keyboard was included, which would make this attractive at the price point and features vs the other tablet I was considering, but if you scroll through all the pictures, one of them shows "keyboard optional" or some such. Annoying to be *considering* a $500 purchase only to realize it's $600 or more. Though it would have been much more frustrating to show up for store pickup and realize that the purchase isn't as shown, which is what nearly happened in my case.

Someone should probably correct the above, and best buy should probably add some other way to notify of errors than using the Q&A forum.
The keyboard is a separate item, though I would highly recommend it. When I purchased mine they ran a promo to include the keyboard for no additional charge, I don't know if they plan to do this again. They even price matched, so it was an excellent value!
