A great film made better buy the excellent 4K transfer. Sound is also very, very, very, very good. :-)
I took a chance that this film would be better in 4K (I have the Blu Ray) and it is. An example of an older film being transferred to 4K and NOT being better is the wonderful movie, "Groundhog Day".
This version of "Gladiator" is worth watching over and over. So then, highly recommended? Yup!

This is still a great movie for the young and the young at heart. I highly recommend it and to add more flavor to the flick, I suggest you watch the 35th cast reunion on YouTube.

Not as good as the 1967 musical but then that's to be expected. However, this film is far better than the Eddie Murphy versions which were just plain stupid. This version has it's moments with the picture being set in the appropriate time period but with the animals talking as people do today. That part was DUMB.
The picture and sound on the 4K is exemplary!

I got this for a laptop that was several years old. Prior to the upgrade it took s few minutes to boot up and now?
25.54655 seconds to boot up! ;-) Everything is faster now, including just smurfing the interwebs. I have given the computer to someone that needed a "new" one and could not afford to buy one right now. This is just a great way of helping out someone. It allows them to Skype with their family and friends during this Panic-Pandemic! No joking. I really does help them out by allowing them to see their loved ones.
So if you've got an older laptop that could use a boost and know someone that could also use a boost, upgrade that computer and donate it to a friend! Pay it forward my friends!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet? Yup, it sure is. And very highly recommended!

Can the battery be replaced? Is the battery rechargeable via USB? Can the RAM be upgraded? And finally, what is the rating on the NITS for this unit? My 4K gaming laptop is getting the battery replaced now by Best Buy and it is only 2.5 years old.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display – the brightest iPhone display yet.¹ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever.¹ Featuring A13 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, for incredible performance in apps, games, and photography. Portrait mode for studio-quality portraits and six lighting effects. Next-generation Smart HDR for incredible detail across highlights and shadows. Cinematic-quality 4K video. And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life² and water resistance,³ it's so much of the iPhone you love, in a not so big size.
Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

Samsung - Galaxy Book Flex Alpha 2-in-1 13.3" QLED Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 12GB Memory - 512GB SSD
Samsung Galaxy Book Flex a Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Stay productive at work with this Samsung Galaxy Book Flex laptop.

This Samsung Galaxy Book Flex laptop has an Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM for running multiple programs at once.
Since I returned this I've yet to see Samsung address my concerns about it. It kept locking up requiring a hard-boot? Why? The speakers were horrid? Why? And is the battery replaceable or not? Still looking for a new laptop. Gave my son an iPad Air.
Update: I NEVER heard back from Samsung so I no longer own this particular laptop.

iRobot - Roomba i7+ (7550) Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum - Charcoal
Vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life. The i7+ learns your home and navigates to where the messes are, right when they happen—so you can effortlessly keep your floors clean. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant, “Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table” and consider it done. After each cleaning, the i7+ empties itself into Dirt Disposal bags that hold up to 60 days of debris so you can forget about vacuuming for months. Personalized cleaning recommendations and seasonal suggestions help keep floors clean year-round, and 10x the Power-Lifting suction* paired with self-emptying convenience help make life a whole lot easier.
Do you have to use Google Assistant or Alexa to operate this? Or is the Roomba app sufficient? Thanks
The Roomba App is more than sufficient. I really don't want or need (though others might!) Alexa or Hey Google to do this for me so...The Roomba Application is all you need to get this Roomba working! I can even tell both my Roombas (different models, one of which is about two or three years old now) to start cleaning remotely from my office. I simply select the Roomba app on my iPhone and tell the Roomba to start cleaning. It does so every time without fail and it does it via my cell (there is NO WiFi at my work) to my home. Roombas are my favorite robot vacuums!

Can you move the Roomba to another level in your home? Will it map out a second floor and keep multiple maps?
It should map out the new area and you can then name it 2nd Floor or whatever you choose. You would have to take the unit and physically place it there. It keeps multiple maps or at least for me it has. I suppose when charging time comes you will have to take it back downstairs or have moved the base to the second floor. I cannot recommend this Roomba enough. It has made life a little bit nicer for us! All the best!

Does this vacuum empty itself and go to its own charging system when it’s done
Nope. It's kinda like a baby in that you have to change the poopy diapers. It takes approximately 33.3232949349434 seconds for me to do this so I bet you'll be just fine!

Does this vacuum work on a 5 GHz WiFi
No it does not. If you have a Mesh System WiFi you will have to go into the router and separate the two frequencies in order for your vacuum to see the 2.4 frequency and then all will be groovy! At least that's how we did it on mine and my daughters and they work just fine. I believe one of the factors behind this using the 2.4 may be that range/distance/strength of transmission is greater on the lower frequency.

Since the RAM is hard soldered on, can the battery be replaced or not, please? Thank you!
To further clarify my question regarding the battery, is it soldered onto the motherboard or is it connected via a ribbon cable and a molex-type connector? Please let me know as this is a VERY important detail to me. I get the RAM part and find it odd that anyone would solder memory to the board as if you have a memory failure you are screwed. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answer but perhaps I was not clear enough. Is the battery hard-soldered onto the board or is it attached via a ribbon cable and a molex-type connector to the board? If soldered, I must pass. Either way thank you for the previous answer and I look forward to hearing from you on this.
