Philips hue products are always pricey. This one is no exception. It is good quality and fairly easy to setup with their app. I like the product overall. My only complaint is that some of the Hue Labs controls, such as colorloop can't be easily added. When you add those, it removes all other functionality that is included with the button you assign it to. This was not the same for all Hue Labs controls. I installed these in three of my children's rooms so they could more easily change their light settings to the setup they asked for. These stick to the wall so they aren't a direct replacement for the in wall switch. That made installation easier, but now there are two switches on each of their walls.

I purchased this monitor to replace the one that came with my son's HP computer. He managed to hit the previous one with something and broke it. It plays all his games well and has a crisp image. For the price it is a good value for light gaming. His desktop can't handle game settings on the higher end so I can't say if it is good for those.

I purchased a used one of these awhile back and really liked it. They are a bit pricey in comparison to other products on the market, but these integrate with my smart home better so for me the price is worth it. I have played 4k movies on this and they play with no issues. I've done it both wireless and wired. I always suggest wired though when streaming content as it is more reliable. I plan to purchase another one of these once my new home office is setup.

I've owned many different tablets including Kindle Fire and various Samsung tablets. They were all okay. I wanted to get a Chromebook for awhile and this was a great price for one. I purchased it expecting a very low end device for the cost. It is a decent device for what you pay. I've spent hours on it already. My only gripe is that when I open too many tabs in Chrome, it starts to have some slowness. If you remember to close your tabs when you are done with them this isn't an issue.

In the last 15 years I've had roughly 12 different desktops and laptops. Each had their own benefits. I purchased this system for gaming and web application pentesting. It has not disappointed. I play Fortnite with my son and able to use the highest settings on the game. This allows me to see across the map. I've seen improvements in other games I play as well. The system also allowed me to create virtual machines for my work purposes.

The controls react well enough and it glows as well as other Afterglow controllers. The sound port broke upon first use. With the controller being clear, you can see the poor solder job applied to the sound jack. I would recommend getting one of the more expensive controllers as they work much better.

Bought this for my wife
Customer Rating
4.0
I purchased this as a gift for my wife. She had a previous Fitbit, but didn't like the way it fit her wrist. She was hesitant with the size of the Versa, but it ended up fitting better than the smaller Fitbit she replaced. The shape of the versa allows it to fit more comfortably on her wrist. She is also a huge fan of rose gold. I spent the extra on the one with the lavender wrist straps because she really liked the color against the rose gold. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars though due to the fact that the lavender wrist strap gets dirty really easily. It does come with the black rubber straps that can be swapped in when she works out, but she tends to forget to replace it and leaves on the lavender band. This has caused the lavender band to become really dirty and it is difficult to clean. I would definitely recommend the product, but if you are like my wife and forget to change your band before a workout, maybe go with the slightly cheaper version that doesn't include the lavender band.

I have used Zagg InvisibleShield products on my wife's and daughter's Pixel XL 2. These were difficult to put on. Zagg has fixed that issue with the one for the Pixel XL 3. They send a plastic device you put on your phone that helps you line it with both the notch at the top and the speaker at the bottom. Add this convenience to the replacement screen guarantee and this is more than worth the money.

This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts. The GS105 switch comes with 5 Gigabit copper ports in a desktop metal case and is wall-mountable. This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.
Can I plug this into the modem and then two routers in to it to create two networks? And would it slow down my speeds?

My old netgear router went out. Is this a router or something used in addition to a router? Description is confusing. This came up when I searched for wired routers
This is a switch. Think of a switch like roads in your town. It gets you around your small area, but will never leave that area. A router is like a highway that takes you to a new area. This will not replace your router. Netgear has some good routers, but just make sure it has router in the description. Another thing to consider is your internet type. Your old.router may have been a modem built in as well. Check that to make sure before buying a new one.

Watch, listen and play with more wonder and excitement as your lights dance, flash, dim and brighten with your screen. Requires Hue color capable lights and a Hue Bridge (sold separately).
How do you turn on and off the Hue Play lights? Can i use Alexa to turn it on? Will it turn on automatically with some input signal? Or do i have to use the app anytime i want to use these lights?
