Misinformed BB staff recommended incorrect cable

Verified Purchase:Yes
My father’s Bose headphones needed a new cable, due to damage at the connection. The BB member who helped him didn’t know that Bose products use a cable with a proprietary plug where the cable is inserted into the headphone housing. We had to return this product.

Simple installation, worked with WAVE broadband

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Arris line of cable modems is identical in appearance and performance as the Motorola models they replace. For some reason, my 4 year old Motorola unit refused to go online with our new cable internet provider (WAVE). I was suspicious when the installer said it wasn't them, but our modem. But a quick trip to Best Buy confirmed that he was right. This was the same unit as my old one, but it worked right out of the box (along with a quick call to Tech Support to register the MAC ID of the modem). Plenty of bandwidth to provide 100 Mbs service.

Solved our humidity problem, even in a large room

This unit is small and inexpensive, but it's able to humidify a drafty attic bedroom very well (15' x 35') -- no more dry skin or irritated nasal passages in the winter! The reservoir will last an entire night on the high setting. The unit makes a slight hissing and occasional gurgling sound as water is heated. You need to clean the unit with vinegar and bleach regularly (every week according to the manual). Doing so has kept the unit running well.

Protects well, but buttons are hard to press

Verified Purchase:Yes
After dropping an ipad mini while getting out of a car and suffering the expense of fixing a cracked screen, we decided to protect the new one. We were deciding between a protective screen or an all-around case. We chose this case, because it also makes the unit waterproof. It really works, because someone in my family insists on streaming music and videos in the shower now...But there is one drawback, the power and volume buttons are 1000% harder to find and press. Also, this model has a back button window that allows you to use the fingerprint recognition feature of the latest ipads, the slightly cheaper and older model does not.

Powerful, but not nearly as easy to use as an iPad
on May 11, 2014
Posted by: pomermania

Verified Purchase:Yes
The previous generation Surface Pro runs all my Windows 7 applications with ease and drawing with the pen works very well. However, I was unable to get my Logitech wireless keyboard to work with it. So I upgraded to Windows 8.1 (free via online store) hoping it would fix any driver issues. Unfortunately, the process took so long and ran into so many problems that the system recommended that I restore it, although it would save my installed apps, which sounded great. But apparently, apps are not applications. It kept all the Windows 8 store purchases, but wiped out the hours it took to install Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and several digital content creation tools. For day-to-day use, I find the lighter and simpler iPad to be far superior. I only use the Surface Pro to draw or check the development of Windows 8 apps. If it weren't for the discounts Best Buy offered with a trade-in of an old laptop, it would not have been a good purchase. There are other Windows 8.1 pen tablets that offer detachable keyboards as included features, for a lower price.

What's great about it: Pen input,full Windows applications
What's not so great: Weight, clunky interface, upgrading to Win 8.1 was a nightmare

What kind of RAM do I need for my Gateway?

I have a 6 year-old Gateway with Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002, Pentium 4, 2.40GHz and 504MB of RAM. What card can I get to increase the RAM and thus increase the performance of my computer.
Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered with the information provided. The PC or motherboard model number needs to be known. Chances are such an old PC uses DDR2 modules, but again, this isn't certain.

Alternatively, the Gateway's case should be easy to open; if you do so, you will see slots where the current RAM resides on the main motherboard. Usually, the type of RAM necessary will be printed on the board, next to the slots.
