Classic Fun, Great Emulation
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the easiest review I will ever write- what 30-something gamer DOESN'T want to relive their childhood in such an adorable fashion? So what I will point out is the quality of the emulation (aka how close it is to the real NES) with this device is MUCH MUCH better than the emulation on the Wii U or 3DS. If you want a quality experience that is as close to the old NES that you can get this is the droid you are looking for!

Second Gen Fitbit Gets it Right
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got one of these to recently replace my wife's Charge 1 HR Fitbit device. I thought at first she would appreciate the larger screen and the new metrics it has (and she does) but frankly that turned out to not be the best part. The best part is the replaceable bands, so you aren't locked in to a single color nor are you locked into plastic bands period. I got her a third party metal band for it and it looks like a real watch. If you want a Fitbit but you think they look too informal this Charge 2 plus a metal band is what you have been looking for!

Black Magic Box, Not Quite Perfect
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
This device amazes me. It shouldn't work at all and yet it does. It is not perfect - it hates being hooked up to a AV receiver (so bye bye 5.1 sound), the transferred picture sometime has artifacts, and frankly I have to reset both boxes every time I occasionally use it. So why the four stars? Because despite these limitations it can broadcast the ballgame to a part of your house where cable boxes won't go. I wouldn't even think of relying on it to replace a cable box for my wife (too finicky), but it is worth every dollar to watch some football on a TV every once in awhile that otherwise can't.

Leslie Nielsen Would Be Proud!!
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I was growing up it seemed every genre of movie had a Leslie Nielsen movie (or a "Scary Movie") that made fun of it. For some reason comic book movies have become a global sensation without this perspective, that is until Deadpool came along. Not only is Deadpool a R rated romp in a genre that is concerned with being family friendly, but it makes fun of the genre in a way that would make Leslie Nielsen proud. Highly recommended.

Good Card But Not The Fastest
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this is a good reliable card that has served me well for months. The only downside is it is not as fast as Samsung Evo cards I have so if you need the speed spend the extra money on the Samsung cards. If you need the space and you need it to be reliable this is your card.

Turn Your iPad Into a Laptop
on June 9, 2016
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nowadays the iOS platform has a ton of productivity apps (including the full Office Suite), but using an onscreen keyboard cuts into that productivity. This case turns the iPad into a thin and light laptop, ready for work. It is SOO easy to use, like grandma can do it even without you setting it up first. Great for students, or just people sick of a Windows PC with the viruses and malware. Make your iPad your main computer and make your life easier.

2TB in a Small Space? Yes Please!
on June 9, 2016
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
When you can get laptops with at least 1TB in them by default easily, backing up with a 1TB external drive isn't enough if you want to keep multiple copies of files. In the past moving to 2TB meant a powered drive (yuck, AC adaptor) but not anymore. This thing is a great drive, I am using mine as a Time Machine drive for a Mac. Just don't move it while it's on and you will get a lot of life out of it.

When building on a budget, the EVGA 600W 80 PLUS is a great choice at a low cost. Supporting 49A on a single +12V rail provides more options without having to reduce your component requirements. Save space with the 600W's compact design, well­placed power switch and fully sleeved cables. The 600W offers the connections and protections needed for basic system builds. With a standard 3 year warranty and ultra quiet fan design the 600W will be a great asset for your next build on a budget.

Best Low Cost PSU On the Market
on June 9, 2016
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the money you aren't going to do better than this PSU. I have mine powering an overclocked R9 290 running 24/7 mining cryptocurrency, and it hasn't skipped a beat. Every other cheap PSU I had crumbled under that pressure, but this unit keeps going. EVGA knows their stuff, look at the other glowing reviews online. This is probably the second best purchase I have ever made at Best Buy (only to my plasma TV). I can't recommend this unit enough for a basic gaming machine.

Loud, Hot, Slow- I Dislike This GPU
on June 9, 2016
Posted by: JonSmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a pretty avid GPU collector and gamer so maybe my expectations were too high, but I don't like this GPU. I bought it to put in a Mini ITX HTPC I was building, hoping it would provide an experience that was in the same ballpark as my GTX 970. Nope, not even close. This card will lag on high settings on basic games like Rocket League.
Which by itself would have been fine, but on top of that this card runs very loud. The 750 ti is sold as this low power unit, but even at medium usage you are going to hear that fan. I would have prefered a dual fan card in retrospect. And THAT alone would be ok, if the 750 ti would have a HDMI 2.0 port (it doesn't) or if it could handle 4K HEVC files (it can't). So basically this thing isn't even useful for video playback if I upgrade to a 4K tv.
This is the best option on the market right now if you have a weak PSU, but that doesn't make it a good option. I expect later this year we will see new cards that can work without a 6 pin connector. I will be replacing this card with one of those options.

Enjoy cool indoor temperatures with this portable Frigidaire air conditioner. It works for rooms up to 700 sq. ft., and its temperature control technology lets you maintain a preset temperature. This 14,000 BTU Frigidaire air conditioner has an antibacterial filter to reduce particulate matter, bacteria and odors and wheels for hassle-free portability.
 

Will this unit automatically restart to the formerly set temperature setting if the power supply is interupted or does it have to be manually turned back on?

I does reset back to the tempurature.

Access exciting in-game features with this Nintendo Goomba amiibo. Unlock amiibo-specific powers and blast your way through Super Mario Odyssey levels when you tap this figurine against your compatible console’s NFC touchpoint. Highly detailed and constructed from durable plastic, this little Nintendo Goomba amiibo also makes a cute desktop ornament.
 

What game is this for? Can be be used for Nintendo Wii U games or Nintendo switch only? Asking for my daughter

It can be used with the 3DS or Switch. It is designed for a 3DS game.
