This is my second Yoga, replacing a Yoga 7i that has performed well for 6 years. Very easy replacement for me, I bought an Open Box model and it is as good as new (had a minor blip on starting up, which the Geek Squad fixed for me quickly. Love the ergonomics and overall ease of use. Some of the documentation from Lenovo (especially regarding the Precision Pen) leaves a lot to be desired as does Lenovo support for same. Haven't used the tablet mode yet.

I've had Sonos speakers for over 5 years and I've put up with the set up and operating difficulty (has anyone really figured out how to use with Alexa?) because of the great sound. The Roam fits that classic Sonos model -- expensive, unintuitive and difficult to operate. In this case, setting it up on WiFi was relatively easy (after some adjustments to my Sonos system), Bluetooth was not and to top it off this one didn't' work -- just crackling coming out the speaker. Going right back!

My last 4 TV purchases have been Samsung's but I needed a particular set of dimensions that the LG fit, so I tried. The TV is easy to set up and has many attractive features. Color quality is good but making adjustments to the color and to the audio seems more limited than with Samsung. It seems all TV manufacturers are trying to have their remotes do too much with the result being that they don't do the basics well. I really don't need to have the remote act as a mouse. So far I am satisfied but not blown away. All things being equal, I will stick with my familiar eco-system

The TV looks great and the picture is outstanding. I would definitely recommend and external speaker, like a sound bar, otherwise the sound is tinny. I don't particularly like the new remote -- why does it have to be different than the previous generation?
My biggest problem is how difficult and non-intuitive the set up is (both the TV and the operation of the remote) and of course try finding a user guide that is actually helpful. I am reasonably good with software, computer set up, etc. but this TV is just baffling. Hey Samsung (and other consumer electronics firms), trying making usage more intuitive and please continue with real user guides, not a 4 page "Initial Set Up" or an eManual on the TV which is non-searchable!

Go beyond what you see and experience more powerful sound with clear tones and deep bass in the HW-T510 Soundbar. Pairs seamlessly with your Samsung TV. Feel the rumble of deep bass from the wireless sub-woofer and stream music from your mobile, no strings attached.
 
Could not be easier or better!

Very happy with the product. Incredibly easy to set up (I have a Samsung TV and TV and sound bar essentially connected themselves, all I had to do was plug it in and click yes once or twice!). The wireless connection with the TV and sub-woofer work great. Sound is great

Can this speaker be part of an Alexa Speaker Group? What about Chromecast Speaker Group?

It can be a part of Alexa but in typical Sonos fashion, it is a pain to set up. Once you do have it set up, good luck trying to make any changes. I just don't think Sonos and Alexa play well together.

Can tv be used without wifi connection

Yes but you are missing out on many key features and you will need either a cable connection or an external antenna. I would suggest if you don't have a Wi-Fi connection, go for a simpler, less expensive TV
