I got tired of getting wires tangled when using my gaming laptop. Searched high and low and purchased this based on the tech stats and Logitech's reputation. I was not disappointed. I actually get significant longer play on the battery than the specs. There is a handy batter meter on the top that is the 3 lights by the wheel. You can easily game all day with this mouse.

For a magnetic phone mount a critical option is the feet at the bottom for extra support. If you mount the metal disc under a case.
However, once it gets hot in the car from the sun the glue tends to give way and your phone goes crashing to the floor
My dash had been well cleaned prior to mounting.

I always buy this with computers. I spend a lot of money on a computer and computers can quit working. NOT the fault of Best Buy. Things happen.
Geek squad service plan isn't always something I need to use. But when I have used it the plan has saved me a lot of money on repairs. Best Buy does not manufacture their products and without this plan you need to rely on the good graces of the manufacturer's warranty service

Ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs roam the open roads and the tyrannical Authority seek to rule with an iron fist. As Walker, the last Ranger of the wasteland and a threat to their power, you have been robbed of your home and left for dead. Now you’ll have to rage for justice and freedom. With ludicrous vehicle combat, super-powered first-person mayhem, and an open world full of emergent madness, you will tear across an unforgiving wasteland battling sadistic gangs to find the tools and tech needed to crush the oppressive rule of The Authority once and for all.

I didn't have high hopes for this game, it was really a filler between major titles. But this turned out to be a high octane adventure of fun. It really reminded me of the movie Road Warrior and had a surprising level of complexity I was not expecting when first starting it.

I am not a fan of Apple phones or computers. I have owned a selection of brands of tablets and the iPad is the best. I use it for eBooks, streaming video, Face Time, email, and general information browsing. It is worth the extra money for the better performance and quality.

If my Nikon D610 DSLR camera that I purchased Feb of 2015 at Best Buy malfunctions, is Best Buy authorized to repair it in house?

Best Buy cannot repair DSLR Cameras in house. At the least they would send it to their service center. But most likely if you need warranty service you should go direct through Nikon

Can I use the bannana plugs with the Rocketfish digital speaker cables?
If your using Digital Optical Audio Cable. The answer is no. That uses a different connection. And most come with connectors already attached.

If your using regular copper speaker wire the answer is yes.

Is this computer good for producing music ? And if so how much can it handle ?

You need to look to the specifications of the software you are using for producing music. The computer is probably more than enough.

Does it crash when it can not handle a lot of programs for music production ?

Music production is typically a lot less demanding on a computer than high end games are. and this machine can handle high end games.

processing for music is going to be more dependent on RAM and process or speed. and this has more ram than your music program would most likely utilize
