Extremely upset with Best Buy, but a GREAT GPU!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Expert
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
First off there is a VERY low probability you're going to get a DOA graphics card. But I did and I had to return it. Really upset I had to pay shipping twice on this. Otherwise it's a great card, and I tried putting an Nvidia 560 Ti into my rig but the clock speeds were slower compared to EVGA's much more stable version with more juice to spare. I love this card, however I have the Tim the Toolman Taylor complex and I'm currently waiting for EVGA's step up program to kick in so I can trade this guy in for a GTX 680. Otherwise very pleased saw a HUGE boost in visual performance and gaming reliability over my Ivy Bridge I5-3570K's onboard Intel HD4000 graphics as to be expected. I would go with the GTX560 448 cuda cores model looking back however in the 200-300 price range.
What's great about it: blazing fast, extreme performance, very reliable, up to date drivers
What's not so great: Took Best Buy twice to get me a good one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Use this DVI male-to-male cable to connect your flat-panel LCD monitor to your PC for crisp pictures and high-speed transfer.

It's a connector. I mean, is there more to say? It works. I wish they had something less expensive than 25$ for a standard DVI connector. I can't judge durability because I just bought it. It's fairly easy to install, if you can't install this you probably don't know what it is, or how to turn your computer on anyways. Most likely you don't even understand the words I'm typing or that colors aren't flavors. I wish I had time to order this from literally ANYWHERE else or take one from work but I didn't. So it works fine for what it's intended for but I over paid.
What's great about it: It connects a monitor
What's not so great: It's pretty expensive for standard hardware
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Customize your computer with this Logitech wireless keyboard. Laser-etched backlit keys let you work in virtually any lighting conditions, while the proximity sensors detect your hands to power on the backlights. The PerfectStroke system allows for whisper-quiet, responsive typing. Featuring a unifying receiver, this Logitech wireless keyboard lets you connect one or many mice with just one USB port.

I LOVE this keyboard. The battery life is superb unless you turn the back light way way up well beyond where you might need it. No more fumbling around at night trying to see what keys I'm pressing. This is a great buy! GREAT buy. I'm going to upgrade the mouse soon though as a standard 3 button isn't cutting the mustard for MMO's. But with my first build this is a great combo with a Logitech paired mouse and a Logitech G930 headset. Got everything on sale, and best buy had the best price on the keyboard! As opposed to 130$ @ Micro Center. The battery is internal and the keyboard goes idle if your hands aren't on it. I don't know what the sensor is but the keyboard knows if you're touching it or not and lights up accordingly. I would buy several if I had a need. This is such a great product! KUDOS to Logitech. I'm bought hook line and sinker. Big ups to Logitech for this keyboard!
What's great about it: Great feel, intuitive layout, back light very bright if needed, good reception distance, board goes idle if not used
What's not so great: I don't have a need to have several.
I would recommend this to a friend!

5 out of 5The best feature is the back lights. Very handy.

The unit is compact and sturdy. The light-touch keyboard is nice, but the best part is the back lights. It would be a perfect product if it had a USB port built into the keyboard.

USB slot?
June 26, 2012
What could you possibly use a USB slot for? I don't consider that a solid idea whatsoever. Your two options are.... for a gaming mouse... which..... why? There's Logitech wireless gaming mice, and even if you are gaming what are you doing that you need a wireless keyboard with a wired mouse? The other option is a USB mem stick. So what are you going to do? Load your MP3 hit list via your wireless keyboard. That just seems... well stupid.

2 out of 5Great TV... but ads?
By Mitchill
from Nevada
TV has a great picture, but if you watch sports at all you will be pestered every time you watch anything.
This Samsung TV has some yahoo sports popup every time you want to watch anything, yes its easy enough to close but it pops up 3-4 times per football game.
Anyways after spending 2 hours on the phone with Samsung and still not figuring out how to turn off ads I turned to google. I figured it out within 2 minuets of browsing the web.
Long story short I am mostly upset about the fact that Samsung had the nerve to activate random ads on my TV

I don't think I will be purchasing another Samsung product for a while...
Oh and if anyone else wants to turn off these ads grab your remote and follow my instructions
go to menu ->smart features ->Terms & Policy -> Yahoo Privacy Policy and then uncheck the I consent box

Wait what?
March 7, 2015
Just to clarify, you were watching a sports program on a web based app and you're upset you had to see ads? Or was this ads popping up overtop of your paid cable subscription? Trying to figure out if you're upset free programming apps made you watch an ad, or if you're saying there's ads overlaid on your paid programming?
If the ads play during paid cable broadcasting that would tick me off too, but if the ads are playing during a free or greatly reduced price broadcast I mean..... dude..... ?

By johb
I never write reviews but felt it was important here. I was the first to buy this tv st my best buy and returned within a couple days. I am a huge Samsung fan but this tv was an attempt to make a less expensive 4 tv but it ended up being just a cheap poorly made piece of junk. picture quality is poor on regular tv, HD and 4k...it's like the refresh rate is too slow to keep up. spend a little more and get something you won't have to return.

Irate @ 60HZ
March 18, 2015
This tv is amazing if you don't care about motion blurring. The tv is a beautiful picture when there's very little movement. I'm not impressed when there's heavy movement and I haven't watched a sporting even yet but I'd definitely stay away from any sporting event on this thing. I asked specifically to be shown a 120HZ + panel because of motion blur, and I still left with a 60HZ panel unknowingly. The tv otherwise is absolutely amazing however. But I'll be returning it for a true 120HZ panel as this thing sucks @ motion. Everything else is cool though. Takes about 20 minutes to set up and wire into your network and so on.

I am looking for a labtop to do accounting, typing and go on internet with. i would also need a printer.
I would prefer a computer with microsoft windows or vista program. could you please help me pick a computer that would fit my needs.
This is really a vague question. You're probably going to be best to go into a store and see an associate and decide ahead of time how much money you want to spend. Unfortunately the Windows platform that is currently available is called Windows 8. It can be a bit confusing, but you should have access to everything you want with one. Just figure out what you want to spend first, and an associate will guide you to the best computer for your needs. You sound like the type of person that could definitely use the geek squad black tie service and setup if you don't have a family member that can get you all set up and running. Best Buy offers a free tutorial on Windows 8 with all new computer purchases.

How can I get a higher graphics card in the computer?
In previous comments it shows somewhat, but when I asked at Best Buy they said it was impossible. I'm seeing Nvidia Geforce GT 750m graphics card in this product? Do I need to buy it separate or am I missing something? If I do, will I need to bring it to Best Buy so they can install it for me?
You can't, it's a laptop. The "m" in GT 750m designates that it is a mobile graphics card. It's not interchangeable like a desktop. It's tightly woven in with the configuration of the internal parts of the computer tucked away within microns of the case itself more than likely hard soldered to the main PCB. It should be in the computer already, and I doubt anyone at Geek Squad has the electical engineering degree to put a different mobile board in for you. All in all, the 705m is a killer mobile video card and will run anything you could throw at it on a single laptop screen or connected monitor.

I would like to see the specs match up with the Lenovo Helix and Sony Vaio Duo 11 top end devices or better:
3rd gen corei7 2Ghz/3.1Ghz,
256GB or 512 GB SSD
8GB RAM
Win 8 64 bit with Pro option
Pressure sensitive stylus, 1024 levels, good resolution (this is key for artists and designers)
I would like to see a Nvidia Geforce GT640M or comparable Radeon graphics card or better if possible.

First, you don't want the Acer R7, the reviews are horrible. They got a "pat on the back for trying, but you didn't quite hit it out of the infield, let alone the park" The R7 is planned to be a core i5 (1.8GHz Intel Core i5-3337U) The ARK specs for that are here : http://ark.intel.com/products/72055/
It seems like that transformers esque laptop/ultra/thingy/ipad got a bad ergonomics review and you'd be better off to wait and find something you like more, possibly even with an i7 though I'm not sure what you need hexacore mobile computing for if you can't read specs?
