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.

I have one of these and gave another to my daughter, her husband and their daughter for Christmas. I also have a TP02, TP04 and a DP04.
I also just ordered a DP04 models for my brother and his wife and another DP04 for myself.
Why?
Because I know a QUALITY product not just when I see it but when I read about it and how it has tested and operated in the real world. I live in the real world. Dyson does NOT make junque.
I buy the best I can afford for myself and loved ones and when it comes to Air Filters that is spelled "DYSON"/

...Let's check what it says it does against what it really does.
Works as a fan? Check!
Purifies the air? CHECK!
Can be started and stopped from work (nowhere near home!) via the app? Yup!
Filters work? You BETCHA! I recently replaced the filters on my TP02 and DP04 and they were full of filterized out junque. I've got complete confidence in Dyson technology!
Looks cool while just sitting there? Why yes...Yes it does! My wife likes it for that reason alone but also because of the next factor.
Quality? After nearly a year of using a DP04 and a TP02 I have zero doubts about the quality of Dyson products, so...YES!
Worthy my money? Definitely. Highly recommended.

I've used these for a couple of years now and just bought three more pair (I lost one somewhere at home!). They work . That's it.
THEY WORK.
The case can be stuck to your cell phone case or just carried in a shirt pocket. The only problem is if I set them down outside of their case and forget where I put them. They kinda blend in because they are clear and really thin. They are worth it.

I've had this for quite a while now and it has done exactly what it is built to do without fail. So...I bought four more Dyson air purifiers. Two TP01 models, one TP02 model and most recently one TP04 model.
And I am about to purchase at least one more of the DP04 models. Maybe two as my older brother and his wife suffer from allergies and I think the DP04 would provide excellent relief in their home.
Highly recommended? Yup. I don't buy junque and Dyson makes an excellent product.

This is a fine laptop. Fast. Quiet. Cool running too, even when charging on my lap as I work. But...Like another laptop I had it also loses the touchscreen feature several times an hour. I have to close the program and reopen it and hope it stops. It does not. This is getting old fast and I have a few days left to return it as I am in the ElitePlus category but I don't want to return it I want it to work.
The only other problem it has is when watching a movie or even a video and I enlarge the screen the top of the screen splits and wavers with the upper image. I don't know how else to explain this but I know it should not do this.
I would still recommend it to friends and family because I am hoping this stupid touchscreen problem can be rectified by firmware and the same with the weirdo screen problem I mentioned. And yes, I have done every update under the sun so far, LOL!

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don’t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you’re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you’ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Motorola - Edge 256GB (Unlocked) 2021 - Nebula Blue
The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8” Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Smoke, grease and cooking odors have no place in your kitchen. But neither do bulky hood vents that overpower your design sensibilities. LG STUDIO wall-mounted hood vents offer a streamlined, low-profile look that occupies minimal visual space, paired with a professional-grade 600 CFM blower that delivers ultimate air movement. The theme of powerful performance and refined style continues, with dual level LED lighting that brilliantly illuminates the cooktop surface and sophisticated, touch controls. Available in 30” and 36” widths in elegant black stainless steel; classic stainless steel finish.
Can the wifi feature be disabled or turned off?
I never activated mine so as near as I can tell if it doesn't have access to your WiFi, that feature is not on.

Can this unit be wall mounted?
Yes of course! You just need to get a VESA standard wall mount for it. Go into your local Best Buy and they will help you right there. If it is not in stock they can order it for you and have it sent to your home or to the store for pick up.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.
Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?
In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!
Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.
I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

when it indicates Google tv, what does that mean?
Google TV is the OS (Operating System) for this TV. You can simply buy a Roku, Amazon or some other device that features your preferred OS.

Does this have a fiber optic output
The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?
8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.
If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks
Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!
