And as is always the case with me, I do NOT purchase junque for either family or friends. This was purchased to replace an ancient HP laptop that would take several minutes to boot up and even more to logon and check email.
It is a Chromebook.
It is quite speedy not only compared to her old laptop but to other tablets I have purchased over the last few years.
My friend is soooooooooooooooo happy with her Chromebook! She likes the speed, the ability to add storage via a MicroSD (I have alreadyinstalled a 64 gig card for her!) and the picture and sound are worlds ahead of her old HP.

She can watch a film on it with ease. She can listen to her Pandora station on it too. With ease!
So then...Do I recommend this little device? As Ralph Malph and Pottsie Weber might say, "Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!"
Yup. I do.

...More than adequate! I purchased this for my daughter and her excellent husband. I do NOT buy junque for either friends or family. Apple makes a quality product and this particular MacBook Pro is nothing but a quality piece of equipment.
Is it FAST? Yup!
Is it beautifully made? Yupp!
Is the screen superb-a-mundo excellente'? Yuppers!

Look, I am not here to lie to you just to make myself out to be something other than a satisfied BB & fApple customer. My daughter and her husband reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like their new PowerBook! Like, not "love". Only a fool pretends to love something as inanimate as an inanimate device.
Buy one and I seriously doubt you will be disappointed. I am not. Again, I do NOT buy junque. Neither should you.

We bought for use in our home gym in the garage. The extra benefit is our 16 year old Labratard pooch reeeeeally likes the breeze this thing makes. He lays in front of it and snoozes like he was a puppy again.
So then, it's great for working out and it's even better for a seasoned citizen pooch! Do I recommend it?
YES! And highly so.

And it works as advertised. I use to count my steps. I use it to count my calories burned. I use it to check my blood pressure. I use it to listen to my Pandora stations. I use it mostly for telling time!
I use it in the real world. And so will you. When you get right down to it and wrist watch is a very handy device and if it's an Apple Watch then it is handy and more. I bought the 40 mm version and while I have a 7.5" wrist, the watch looks fine on me.
I have a handicap and tend to fall. A lot. So I got this watch from Apple as my kids said I could set it up so that if I know myself out (again!) it will call for help. So far I have NOT tested that aspect of it but it is an otherwise fine timepiece and one I recommend solely on the basis that it keeps accurate time, is silent while doing so and when silence is neither wanted or needed, it can play my Pandora stations!
I have tried the EKG doohickey a few times and each time i said I was fine. I knew that... ;-) If you want a "smart" watch you could do far worse than a new fApple watch! I like mine very much! Highly recommended? You betcha!

This Roomba is El Fantasitco! Super-A-Mundo! Excellente'! It's a modern version of the Flintstone's Mammoth-Vacuum! It looks cool and it works GREAT!
I really like it. Even better, my wife likes it too. It has mapped our downstairs and can clean the whole area or just the ones you choose, Living Room. Family Room. Kitchen. Entry Way. You choose and it just does it. Nigh on flawlessly too.
Oh it may get stuck on something but so far that has only happened once out of over 39 cleaning jobs (we have furry shedding pooches!).
It took a few days to map the area but now it is sooo easy to use. I have not yet set up an automatic cleaning schedule but will do so soon. I cannot recommend this model enough! It really is that good. I can be at work and tell it to start cleaning and it does! How sweeeet is that! Hey! My older Roomba does that too! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
This Roomba is the bestest one yet and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, especially so to people like myself, seasoned citizens with a slight physical handicap. It makes a clean home a clean breeze.

Well, well, well...At last!
I've been through several laptops lately and have finally found one (OoooooOOooo I hope I'm NOT jinxing myself, LOL!) that does NOT crash and give me the BSOD.
Blue Screen of Death. It's like I found where the Pope put "Limbo", LOL!
I even did all the updates and it still works! the touchscreen works too! Of the computers I've tried recently the ASUS had the bestest screen I've ever seen. But, and everyone I know has a big but so lets talk about this big but, the touchscreen was intermittent on both units I bought. An otherwise excellent laptop that was a touchscreen that didn't wanna be touched. Hmmmm...
The Lenovos I tried had the same touchscreen problem as the ASUS. It also had a nasty habit of freezing out the lower 90% if the screen when watching a movie. I documented it on my phone and showed it to my local BB Geek Squad folks. But (again!) the Lenovis had other problems. Problems that other folks also experienced and while misery may enjoy company I would prefer no one else have this happen with their new laptop.
The Lenova would NOT work. Updates froze them out and no matter how many times I RESET the laptop they would just freak out after updating and return to a $1,000+ ornament. I tend to think it was software related but it could also have been a batch o' bad motherboards. Anyway, I tried two of them before giving up on that model. Then I bought this HP.
Through it all Best Buy stood by me, I think I trade in 4 or more laptops on my way to this hopefully final one! I documented the freezing screen and the non-op touchscreen as well as the BSOD, Whether online or in the store, Geek Squad folks were helpful and supportive. The people of Best Buy are a BIG reason I shop here. People are not AI, they are people. Like you. Like me. And they understand and can put themselves in your shoes so long as you don't walk all over them. Treat them as friends, not servants. The ones at the store I use are more friends than just people I see in a store.
And like I said, so far this HP Laptop WORKING just fine! If that changes anytime soon I will be back to update my review. I like to think I out of Limbo at last.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These are for my son and so far he has nothing bad to say about them. Nothing. Nada. Nottating...
They simply work as advertised. I suppose you could ask more but that brings to mind the tale of the Fisherman's Wife. A fisherman caught a fish that talked so...He released it. When he told his wife she yelled at him that there was more there than meets the ear so he needed to go back and see if the fish would grant a wish.
Or two.
Or three.
Or more.
In the end the wife asked to be the Pope and the fisherman was tired of all the whining (and didn't want to be married to the Pope!) so he went back one more time and asked that everything be the way it was. POOF!
It was.
And what has this to do with these Senneisers?
These True Wireless 2 'phones give you what you need and so long as what you need is also what you want, they deliver. It's about the quality of life and the music that is your soundtrack. These deliver both of those.
You could ask for more but you'd foolish to do so.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. CTA-2006 compliant, this highly efficient Class D technology provides impressive, high-quality power in a compact chassis. The frequency response extends up to 50,000 Hz, supporting crystal-clear Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. The GM-DX874 uses high-grade electronic components and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. You can configure your amplifier into 3-channel mode (4 ohm loads) to create a strong front soundstage (2x 75 watts RMS) with tight bass from the bridged subwoofer (1x 300 watts RMS). The speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system without RCA connections. Built-in high-pass and low-pass filters let you optimize the sound for your vehicle's interior. A wired bass control remote also lets you easily control the amount of bass from the subwoofer output (SW).
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.

And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ 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!

Does this reciver have a center speaker hook up??
Nope! It is 2.2 Stereo (meaning 2 channels and up to 2 powered subwoofers). For that (i.e., the center speaker) you would need to move up the Denon line to one of their excellent AVR models!

I just got this model but when I plug my DVD player to phono input the sound is distorted. Is there something wrong on it? The cd and the other input is fine but I have to turn up the volume every time.
The phono input is designed for the low output of a record player (not using a built-in phono-preamp!) so you should be using one of the HDMI inputs for your DVD player (it will be marked on the HDMI Inputs as "2 DVD").
Doing so will pass video and audio from your DVD to your DRA-800H and from there via the output to your TV. marked as ".Monitor"

Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon) - (2021)
The largest, most advanced Always-on Retina display yet makes everything you do with your Apple Watch Series 7 bigger and better. Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever built, with an even more crack-resistant front crystal. Advanced features let you measure your blood oxygen level,~ take an ECG anytime,~ and access mindfulness and sleep tracking apps. You can also track dozens of workouts, including new tai chi and pilates.
Does it connect to your current phone? or does it need its own line?
As it is marked as GPS + Cellular, it has the necessary hardware to have its own cellphone line. It just means you don't need to carry your iPhone with you to make a call via this watch. I have a GPS only Apple Watch and when the iPhone is nearby and connected via Wifi?Bluetooth I can answer the call via my watch. Kinda sorta like Dick Tracy's 2-Way wrist TV. Well...kinda. Not sorta. LOL!
Either version of this watch will serve you well. So far, I don't really miss not having a watch that is also a standalone cell phone as I have my iPhone with me most of the day. And yes. The extra phone line for the watch will cost your whatever you carrier charges for another line.

33-Lb. Portable Ice Maker
Only at Best BuyChill drinks at your next party with this Insignia portable ice maker. The compact design fits easily on the counter, while an included scoop and basket make it easy to fill drinks and empty leftover ice. With a freezing time of seven to 13 minutes, depending on cube size, this Insignia portable ice maker ensures you're never out of ice.
Is this portable Ice Maker easy to clean? We've had issues with a similar product in the past that made it not worth the hassle.
I have no clue if there is an official procedure but...When I am done for the day making my ice, I simply turn it off, unplug it and face the drain plug toward the sink, remove the cap and let it drain. I then dry out the easily reached areas and let it sit with the lid open for a couple of hours. That's it. It seems to work for me and I use mine a LOT.

Ummmmm...I would NOT leave anything like an electric fan to be soaked by rain. Otherwise, my son has used ours outside while washing his truck. And no, he does not get the fan wet too, LOL! It is an electric device. Electricity and water do not mix. It is however, an excellent fan!

Samsung - Galaxy Book Flex Alpha 2-in-1 13.3" QLED Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 12GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Royal Silver
Samsung Galaxy Book Flex a Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Stay productive at work with this Samsung Galaxy Book Flex laptop. The Intel UHD integrated graphics render vivid visuals on the 13.3-inch Full HD touch screen, while the 512GB SSD ensures speedy file storage and access. 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!
