These Chromecast Audio devices are amazing
on March 31, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Earbuds and Bluetooth are fine, but you cannot beat a real HiFi stereo system, even if you use it for streaming music. This Chromecast Audio connected to a stereo (or 5.1) receiver is a great foundation for a modern music setup. I still use and enjoy CDs and vinyl records, but streaming music via one of the services compatible with Chromecast (I use Google Play Music) to a 2 channel stereo receiver via this Chromecast Audio is a beautiful and simple way to put your digital music "out there". Buy it, get you a Sony 2 channel stereo receiver paired with some Polk T50 tower speakers (when on sale at Best Buy), and crank it up. You will love what you hear.

Great 2 channel receiver

Earbuds and Bluetooth are fine, but you cannot beat a real HiFi stereo system, even if you use it for streaming music. This Sony receiver is a great foundation for a modern setup. I still use and enjoy a vintage Pioneer receiver, but this really is a better solution for modern day listening options. You cannot find a better 2 channel stereo receiver for the price, especially if you manage to purchase at sale price. Buy it, get some Polk T50 tower speakers (on sale), and crank it up. You will love what you hear.

Best Chromebook I've owned
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: KBTechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a 13 inch lightweight laptop computer to bridge work and home. I purchased a very nice $1200 Samsung Windows 10 laptop but was frustrated with several Microsoft issues. I use Windows 10 and Office 365 a lot, so I know what's what, but these nagging issues and glitches popping up on a premium laptop, even when they were fixable, really bugged me. I have always enjoyed inexpensive Chromebooks so I finally decided to return the laptop and exchange it for a better Chromebook than I would typically buy, the Acer R13. On sale this Acer was less than 1/3 the retail price of the Samsung. It won't do everything I need, but it does almost everything I need, and when it won't I still have my larger Windows 10 systems...But the Acer R13 is the system I enjoy using. I only tolerate the others.

A solidly capable phone for a bargain price
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: KBTechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not the fastest or flashiest phone that you can buy, but for the price it cannot be beat. I have been done with contract phones for a while now, but this is the first time that I have purchased a new unlocked phone. I am convinced that this is the smartest way to stay connected, especially when Lenovo offers several Motorola Moto devices like this at relatively low prices. Highly recommended.

Great fan. Great price.

I needed a small, efficient fan to help cool my office, and this fit the bill nicely. It looks good due to modern styling, and offers several speeds and unlimited positioning. The price was low already, and the fact that it was on sale helped too.

The best smartwatch...for ME!
on December 18, 2015
Posted by: KBTechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned a Samsung Gear S smartwatch that failed while under warranty, and since I believed that I may not want to continue with the new Gear S that Samsung was going to send me, I decided to purchase a Pebble Time on the same day that I returned my Gear S to Samsung for repair or replacement. Within the first day of use I knew that the Pebble Time was the best watch for me. It is not a duplication of your smartphone on your wrist, like the Samsung and Google Wear devices strive to be. Instead, the Pebble Time is that just right extension of your smartphone, and for me it is perfect! Simple but powerful, unobtrusive, and priced right.

Good bluetooth speaker, battery life a bit short
on December 18, 2015
Posted by: KBTechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
The JBL Clip+ portable bluetooth speaker is a good speaker, and I have enjoyed it primarily for it's portability, convenience, and solid sound. The only minor complaint is that the battery life isn't great, as compared to another bluetooth speaker that I own...but that speaker is a bit larger, so that affords a larger battery. Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too, haha. Recommended!

The Targus Legend IQ Backpack is perfect for the on-the-go techie. It’s durable, and has plenty of multi-purpose pockets, including a large padded pocket for a laptop up to 15.6” and a separate section for your tablet that’s lined with soft-touch material. There’s also a media pocket with a built-in cord and headphone jack so you can keep the tunes going while you walk.

Outstanding Backpack
on March 18, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a purchase at sale price, and given the quality of the backpack it was a steal, but even at full price this is a recommended purchase. I anticipate years of service from this well designed and constructed pack.

Run programs on this 12.3-inch HP Chromebook convertible laptop. Its detachable touch-screen display lets you enjoy brilliant 2K content, and you can write and draw on it with the included Active Pen. This HP Chromebook convertible laptop has 32GB of storage, and its Intel Core m3 processor and 4GB of RAM provide smooth performance.
 

Does this hp Chromebook x2 fold all the way back to use as a tablet or just detach the keyboard?

You can either detach the keyboard from the tablet and use the tablet alone, or if you need to keep the keyboard handy you can detach the tablet, flip it around backwards, and then "close" the device. The keyboard will be concealed behind the back of the tablet, and the screen will be facing up. So, the screen does not fold around 360 degrees like a Chromebook Pro or a Flip, but when you do remove and reverse the tablet/screen portion and close it up, you can use it as a tablet without feeling the keyboard keys underneath in your hand. All of that being said, detaching the tablet/screen from the keyboard is a very nice experience and much superior to the other Chromebook convertibles.
