Only used this for about a month. Haven't had any incidents so I can say that it works so far. Not sure how extensive it is though

This review is for the Dell - Inspiron 2-in-1 17.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce 940MX - 1TB Hard Drive - Gray
Not really a Dell fan but I think they did really well with this one. Depending on what your needs are. I use this one for my graphic/motion graphic designs. Holds up really well. It's also pretty thin for a 17 inch. The only complaint I had was that it doesn't have a disc drive because it acts as a notebook also. But how much is a disc drive used these days?
Wouldn't recommend for the hardcore gamer. Don't think that's the intention for these 2-in-1's. I'd say this is probably a mid-tier to high-tier computer. High for laptop needs, mid for heavier needs. It's actually faster than a pricier HP with the same specs I had a month prior.

This review is for the Griffin Technology - Survivor AUX 4' Auxiliary Audio Cable - Blue
So far so good. Don't know if this is a fair review because I've only had this one for about a month now, but it seems to be good sturdy quality. The cord is inner nylon weave (blue) with a clear plastic outer. Sort of a double coating. Seems like it would last for a good while. I would say try it

Pretty decent protection so far. It's only been 2 mos on a 6 mos trial for me but so far it seems to hold up. Got it free when I bought a computer monitor.

Good monitors
on September 7, 2017

This review is for the HP - 27" IPS LED FHD Monitor - Natural silver
I really like the asthetics of this monitor. I'm doing a computer build so I bought 2 of these for a great price at the time ($129 each). And the geek squad protection lasts 4 years. Thought this was a good buy. The monitors seem like an endless black screen as the bevels hide once in sleep mode. Really like that feature! Has 1 VGA and 2 HDMI outputs. Very lightweight and almost paper thin
Now for the Cons. There are a few issues I have with these monitors though.
1) The monitor stand is not telescopic. You can't raise it or lower it. You have to get a monitor stand if you want it raised higher. Also a little wobbly when sitting on its stand as to feel a bit cheap
2) There aren't any plate holes in the back so you can't wall mount these.

3) The image and pixels aren't as crisp as advertised to be an LED FHD. Compared it side by side with my laptop (an HP ENVY) and it pales in comparison visually. The screen seems a bit hazy which can be good in some cases to diffuse any ambient light such as sunlight or harsh room light. But I think it compromises the potential for quality with these monitors.
So, for these Cons I give them 3 stars. Great starter monitors for a new build or just need a larger screen for basic viewing. Probably would stay away from these for hardcore gamers. And I'll probably get some better ones later as I do graphics and video editing. I'll need the clarity and crispyness.

Powerful performance meets ease of use in this HP ENVY laptop. The 17.3-inch touchscreen makes it simple to view and alter images and videos, while the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card processes graphical data rapidly. An Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM make running Photoshop, Illustrator and other design software on this HP ENVY laptop simple.

Great laptop for motion graphics

This is a great laptop. I used it for motion graphics and video editing and it does not disappoint. Of course it doesn't have the equal horses of a desktop, but nevertheless this thing flies on light duty work and very sufficient on the heavy stuff. No problem so far. Only had for about 2 months now. The 17" makes it a bit bulky for a laptop bag but I like larger screens to work on.

This review is for the Jabra Style Bluetooth Headset. Had this earpiece for about a month and haven't had any issues with it yet. I like the voice prompts of "low battery" etc. Like the second little earbud type thing that comes with it so you can switch to an in-ear type, so either way there's an option for those who like or don't like. Me personally, not really a fan of the in-ear pieces. This one gives you an option. Can't really think of any cons so far on this one. As usual these earpieces really depends on what's comfortable to your ear.

This review is for WD My Book 4TB 3.0 USB External Hard Drive.
Have had this drive for about 4 mos. now and haven't seen any signs of problems yet. The only thing I'm not so thrilled about is how fast it goes to sleep when not in use. Almost immediately. It causes a delay in transferring and accessing files and at times appear to be stuck. Never experienced that in a drive before. Usually the sleep function happens after being inactive for a while. Not sure if it's the Windows 10 computer I'm using or what (still not a huge fan Win 10). But otherwise, so far so good

Still a great game!!

This review is for Halo Wars 2.
Still a great game to me but I'm a huge fan of the first Halo Wars. I remember hoping and wishing they would make a part 2. The original company had split and said there would probably be "no more Wars" -- I was floored when they said a new one was in the making.
I'm a strategic game person. I love em -- building structures and commanding troops-- and Halo Wars is it for me. The realistic SFX and little touches visually makes this game awesome to me. A good "sight for sore eyes" if you tired of first person shooters that's flooding and ruining the gaming market. Every game is the same just a different skin. We need variety. We've got to stop supporting this monopoly and demand choices for the kind of money these games and consoles cost!
Halo (not Halo Wars) was actually one of the original fps games on a console. 13 or so years later and we're still playing first person shooters? Rediculous.
I gave it 4 stars because there are only 8 boards in Skirmish mode, but I'm sure there'll be more to purchase in DLC's. And only 12 missions in Campaign mode. But otherwise, would've been 5 stars from me!!

Love this thing!

Review for Nest Thermostat 3rd Gen Stainless Steel.
Love this thing! Not sure if it's more about the thermostat or the fact that I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to adjust the temp as I did before.
Now, as you may have heard in reviews as I did before purchasing, it does have some flaws. Today the Eco mode came on when my wife left for work but I was still home asleep. I knew the house felt cold for some reason. Seems if it doesn't sense movement over a certain amount of time it switches to Eco. Never really did that before today. For those that don't know, there is a mode of degree range you set for when you're not home called Eco Mode. It keeps the home from using energy when it senses that no one is there but automatically keeps the temps from becoming dangerously hot or cold.
On another note, when setting, the temp seems to sway 1 or 2 degrees from what it's set for. So if it's set to 75 it will shut off around 76, and turn on around 74. From what I've read in other reviews and forums, this is possibly to keep it from switching on and off so frequently. For these reasons I give it 4 stars.Think they may have tried to make it do too much whereas it falls short of accuracy on a few features. But for my need (which was the convenience) it is great. I can live without some of the other stuff, just switch it off. I'd say this device (as with any) is something that's according to you or your family's needs. Some features in your phone you don't use, as some other people do. Find out what you can or can't live without in your best interest. I got tired of getting up and down when I finally get comfortable.
Either way it's better than your old thermostat that's downstairs or across the room that you have to change in the middle of the night. That alone makes it worth it to me!!

I have an asus gaming laptop with 3860 dpi. Will this monitor work for me?

Not sure I would get this monitor for hardcore gaming. The graphics are pretty good but I don't think your gonna get the HD pixels you really want. The screen seems a bit hazy. May be to diffuse sunlight or harsh lit environments. Not sure you'll get the full 3860 potential in these but hey, if you don't like it you can always return! I'd say try it out and see.

Why cant I order this monitor? Can I go to the store and have them order it for me? Seems its out of stock, I talked to a representative on the phone and he said he could order it for me but not over the phone because he needs to accept payment for it.

If you are a rewards member, they should have your card information to be able to make that purchase. I can usually order online and have it delivered to any store I choose. But if it's out of stock you probably can't order anyway. Not sure what's happening in your case. I usually don't have any problems with that.

We have a rental house next door to our home. Currently we do not have a renter, so if the heating system should fail, would the Nest Learning Thermostat alert us so we can make repairs before the pipes freeze, break? Is there another alternative?

Yes. It's suppose to alert you of any abnormal issue. It will notify you via phone if temps become what's considered dangerously low or high between roughly 45 - 100 degrees. Hope this helps

Will the Nest send a notice to my phone if the temperature goes below or above a preset number? If traveling during winter, I want to know if heat goes off

It will send a notice to your phone and adjust if temps become what's considered dangerously low or high. Maybe between 45 - 100 degrees even if the thermostat is set to "off." So technically yes it will.

Also, While traveling you can check temps on the app in your phone or online with your account you sign up with Nest. Even manually turn temps up or down from the same mediums. Hope this helps
