I loved my Surface but after discovering ads and researching the HP Spectre X2 I had to have one. For the price I figured something had to give, but I was wRoNg! This 2-in-1 is one awesome laptop-tablet hybrid. First, the all metal aluminum construction gives the device the a premium look and feel that makes my Surface look as if its overdue for an upgrade. The aluminum keyboard, which comes bundled with the tablet, is a great accessory that's perfect for composing the long or short texts. The built in speakers help to compliment the side firing speakers on the tablet which aren't so loud, but are fine for viewing video at home. In fact I've found myself attaching the keyboard just for a better audio experience while watching video and movies. I was surprised to find that this tablet was released last year, and its seems to be one of Best Buy's best kept secrets, hiding in the shadow's of Microsoft's Surface product line. The embedded 4G LTE is perfect for on the go computing, and takes a few minutes to set up. Verizon even offers buyers a complimentary month of service with no sign up or credit card necessary. The table is sold for a slightly discounted price through Verizon, but actually was only $60 dollars less than buy the machine without a contract. So I would advise all to save yourself from being tethered to a Verizon contract, and fully own machine when you step out from the Best Buy store. While the new Surface requires you to buy the Type cover, the Spectre includes a much better keyboard, but you do have to buy the HP stylus separately. Although, the stylus is the same cost as the latest gen Surface pen, so overall you'll save with HP's offering, and you truly will get a better machine if an m3 or m7 processor fits your needs. The stylus, like the tablet is hard to find, so I placed an express order for mine through Best Buy, and pleased to find that the express shipping was only bucks. I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and can't wait to try out the stylus with One Note, the main reason why I've grown to love Windows 10 so much.

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

Best iPad Pro Keyboard
on March 26, 2016
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried 2 other keyboards designed for the iPad Pro prior to buying Apple's Smart Keyboard, in an attempt to avoid the high costs for the keyboard. After a week of use I'm thoroughly satisfied my purchase, thanks in part to Best Buy's reward's certificate program which allowed me to apply my banked certificates towards the full purchase price. Typing on the keyboard is quite fun, and the design quality is undeniably Apple at its best. The lack of backlit keys is a non issue, even when typing in a dimly lit room due to the keyboard's close proximity to the iPad's screen, which provides enough light to see each. The material on the surface of the keyboard along with the white-labeled keys reflects light from the screen perfectly. Unlike the other keyboards I tried, Apple's Smart Keyboard doesn't drain power from the iPad's battery. The keyboard is firm enough to use on my lap, but doesn't add unnecessary bulk which helps keep the iPad Pro light enough for on the go productivity.

Great MacBook Accessory
on March 25, 2016
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought the trackpad on my MacBook was all I needed for productivity. However after finally pushing myself to invest in the Magic Mouse 2 I couldn't be happier. The mouse saves me from relying on keyboard shortcuts and using 2 hands to crop and paste text, and photos for the layout of documents I produce weekly. I love that the Magic Mouse 2 works on virtually any surface that it can glide on, and the addition of the long lasting rechargeable battery makes upgrading from the 1st gen Magic Mouse much more worthwhile. The Mouse feels much more sturdy without the removable back and batteries, leading to an overall more premium feel and I have no issue with the Lightning charging port being located on the bottom of the mouse. You honestly won't spend much time recharging the mouse for the charging port to be an issue. Considering the price, I would have liked for Apple to have made the profile of the mouse slimmer, similar to Logitech's ultra slim touch mouse. However nothing compares to white sleek, shiny glass exterior and Apple logo on the Magic Mouse 2. It looks beautiful resting next to my 12" gold MacBook. I would recommend the mouse to anyone using any iteration of MacBook lineup, as it does help to increase productivity. This is an Apple accessory with amazing functionality while remaining simple to use.

Great, high quality case for the S7 Edge. I love that it does provide some protection if the phone were to fall and land face down. The sparkles compliment the gold s7 beautifully. This isn't a case that won't look dull after a week of usage, the materials are high quality.

The speakers...
The flat panel all touch display..
Stock Android 6.0..
Fast, snappy, without overheating...
Sleek lines, comfortable to hold
and perfect fingerprint scanner placement all are why this is my favorite Android smartphone. I retired my Galaxy Note 5 for the Nexus 6, and the extra $50 for 64GB was a steal compared to Samsungs tiered pricing. Swyping on the on-screen keyboard is amazingly accurate, I didn't get this level of accuracy using the Spen on my older Note 5. The crowning moment, cementing my decision to stay with the Nexus was when I played my first song and video. The speakers on this beauty will best any smartphone currently on the market. The stereo sound is so loud, and clear that understand why Google didn't underscore this achievement by placing underpowered earbuds along with the Nexus package. Lastly, the added second USB C cable is a great offering from Google considering how new the technology still is. I could go on and on about this phone, but nothing I say can truly convey the awesome experience you'll have after firing up your own Nexus 6p.

Love My Gear S
on January 7, 2016
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been looking for deals on the Gear S for some months, and BestBuy's current price made buying the watch a requirement. I haven't subscribed to At&T service, and still find the watch to be fully functional when paired with my Note 5. Making and holding a call from the watch is a breeze. Overall learning to navigate the UI so as to access all the features is quite easy. Transferring music to the watch his via Bluetooth was unbelievably fast, and it's awesome that Samsung allows you to pick specific tracks, albums or artists. The watch serves as a stand alone mini music player, which can be used with Bluetooth headphones also. The watches keyboard is small to use for replying to messages or emails, but the swype function makes the task easier. My only issue has come from finding an alternate watch band from any retail store.

Awesome Golden Machine
on December 20, 2015
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything about this MacBook is perfect, except for the need of multiple adapters to make the USB-C port functional beyond fast charging. It's more portable than most tablets, has Apple'renowned solid unibody build, is FAST, doesn't crash, lasts throughout a full without the need for a charge, and the current selling price of $999 is practically a steal. I brought the gold finish 256GB model and couldn't be happier. The space gray model is also a unique beauty among current generation laptops. However, I love how my MacBook stands out among the crowd of other Mac users at the workplace, and this is one tech buy I'm not looking forward to upgrading by any means for some years to come.

iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

IPad Mini The Great
on December 19, 2015
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is by far the best iPad Mini issued by Apple. I've always been wound up in unsatisfied with the past minis I've given a try, especially iPad Mini 3. With the 4 Apple seems to have truly set out to bring the Mini on par with other Apple products. The mini 4 is the perfect size for usage on the go, and the screen resolution allows for side by side, split screen use without straining to see content. The iPad Mini 4 has been the perfect companion for my Mackbook 12".

These Apple-designed cases are made from premium leather for a luxurious feel. Because they're precision crafted for iPhone 6 Plus, the case fits snugly and your phone still feels incredibly slim even with the case on. The soft microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone. And on the outside, you see color that's more than surface deep, thanks to a dye that's infused into the leather. Choose from five complementary colors.(This case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it.)

Beautiful Color and Feel
on December 5, 2015
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case beats all others I've tried, in my attempts to avoid Apple's high cost for the leather case. Alas, Besy Buy had the brown leather case on sale for $24.99 so I snatched one up, and couldn't be happier. The color compliments the Rose Gold iPhone perfectly! After 2 drops (onto solid concrete flooring) I'm surprised and happy to say that the case does offer great protection for the body and screen of the iPhone. Great buy!

Great Premium Android Tablet
on November 22, 2015
Posted by: JayRaf
Verified Purchase:Yes
Samsung ditching the " cheaper" materials for their phones and tablets was the final step needed towards attaining mobile greatness. I've always been a fan of their screens and other worldly specs, but with almost each product I have purchased in the past, the plastic and/or faux leather housing led to eventual dissatisfaction. Typically I wound up ditching the Samsung product for something Apple or other. The Galaxy Tab S2 is the absolute best Android tablet I've owned from Samsung, and bests all other tablets on the Android market. I purchased the black 32GB model, no need for the 64GB model after adding my 128GB micro SD. Nothing has slowed down the lightning speed of booting up, opening apps, even after side loading over 50GB of music and video onto the memory card. The tablet is a pleasure to hold while viewing media, so much that I hate having to put on a case when I'm on the go. Touch Wiz UI still is a sore spot compared to stock Android, but with Nova Launcher my S2 tablet looks exactly how I want, and performs even better. Even The S-Pen app is fully functional with a cheap stylus. I haven't owned any other Android tablet that hasn't suffered from crashes and slower speeds with the addition of all my apps and with a smaller amount of media. I'm looking forward to 2 to 3 years with this beautiful beast as a companion to my Note 5.

I currently have a Galaxy Tab S2 in perfect, near mint condition along with the original box it's packaged in. Is it possible that I can trade in the older tablet for the current model? As they do with the phones
Yes BestBuy always offers trade in options, and you may find some extended directly from Samsung. Still, you may want to check the current resell value on eBay, which Ive always found exveeds the offers made to trade in tech. Items in mint condition can fetch a great price, and the profits applied towards aquiring the newest and best tech on the market.
