Conquer challenging terrain with the IP68-certified Samsung Galaxy S8+, which comes with a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Create stunning UHD 4K videos with the device’s advanced 12MP dual camera and take video calls via its 8MP front-facing camera. This Samsung Galaxy S8+ comes with a long-lasting 3500mAh battery, which fully recharges in only two hours.

This Galaxy S8+ is terrific. Specifically, this model evolved nicely from the S6, to the S7 to the S8. The speed of Touchwiz, and it's slimmer design, makes this feel like something other then a Samsung smartphone. The home screen button is slick and fast, and the display is even better then the S7... Battery life is better then I expected, seems to hold it's charge with medium usage.

I have a small, 900 sq ft apartment with hardwood floors, an area rug and small carpeted bedroom (both low pile). And two dogs with medium shedding.
The Hoover Air cordless is perfect for these needs. It's a light weight vacuum that stores easily in almost any small space. The LED headlight is a game changer, as are the TWO batteries that easily let me vacuum for what feels like hours! The design is sharp and has easy changeable filters, which helps makes this cordless a no brainer purchase.
Good job Hoover!

Coming from the S5, the Galaxy S6 Edge nails it. It's the best smartphone so far from Samsung. The performance and streamlined UI are significant upgrades, not to mention the camera which is outstanding. The phone feels great to hold, and looks amazing.
No issues with battery life to report. The rapid charger is valuable and offsets weak battery performance, but so far not experiencing any issues.

Love the JBL Charge. Easy setup means I can add to any Bluetooth enabled device quickly. The Charge works with my Galaxy 3S, Nexus 10 tablet and MacBook Pro.
The sound quality is really good for the price point, and what I would expect from JBL.
Great value all around, thanks JBL ~

If I could review with ONE star, I would for this item. I bought it about 4 months ago. Last week, the device (after properly ejecting from my WIN PC) failed. Specifically, there is WRITE PROTECT error. I can read files on the device, but cannot write additional data to the drive. I can't reformat, because it is in WRITE PROTECTED now.
Tech support not helpful. Steer clear from this device, and PNY.
What's great about it: Price point
What's not so great: Doesn't function, tech support sub-par

Really disappointed in this HP Envy model. I loved the price point, the features (e.g. back-lit keyboard, weight, sreeen size) but for all of that, the model needs to function.
I was subject to constant reboots, CMOS errors and a sticky keyboard. Almost each time I went to use this laptop after a few hours, I found that it was restarted and at the login screen. And the keyboard arrows (bottom right corner) were sticky.
Too bad. It went back to BB today.
What's great about it: Style, display, price point
What's not so great: Build quality

Overall1 out of 5
1 out of 5Not worth it, stay away
By Hunterray99
I purchased this speaker with the intent of taking it with us on family get togethers. The first time I used it the Bluetooth kept cutting off. This happened about five or six times in the few hours that I used it. The other issue I found was it would not stay powered up even plugged into a receptacle. It drove me crazy between the power not working and the Bluetooth cutting out. I finally just plugged in a old radio so we could listen to some music. I will be returning the JBL Charge for a refund or another product. It sure isn't worth what I paid for it. I am only rating this product as one star because that is the lowest option that I have.

Why

I don't see the point posting reviews like this one, I mean it totally skews the results, and the poster should be more sensitive to valuable content.
Sure: You got a lemon device. Does that mean that all devices are lemons? No.

Overall2 out of 5
2 out of 5Loud fan
By Joanne
Such a beautiful machine - worked great and I loved it until the fan came on and ruined everything. It was so loud, there was no way I could ignore it or live with it. Sadly, returned it the next day.

Sorry ...

Sorry, but this is a pointless post. One loud fan means the entire line is bad?
