I really like this one. It's not like the original at all, but it's apparently happening at the same time as the original. This is more of a thriller with some Sci-Fi Horror elements. I love the humor and actor performances are great.

This phone is probably the cheapest Android phone you can buy right now, and it is definitely that. Screen is low res, dim and dull. Battery lasts just couple of hours. Camera is useless.
I can't think of anyone that I'd recommend this phone to. I returned it the next day. Just spend a little bit more and get something line LG or Samsung GoPhones.

Using this with a Nikon Nikkor lens, it fets perfectly, and actually looks just like Nikon lens cover, just without Nikon logo on it. Good replacement cover.

This is a nice little phone for the price! I'm using it without Verizon's service, I'm actually using it as a dash cam. It's fairly quick, runs cool, and so far 100% stable and reliable. The screen is decent, bright and has good view angles.
It also takes a memory card, very useful feature.
The only complaint, sort of, that I have is the included charger. This is the firs time in years when I saw a micro usb cable built into the charger itself, meaning the brick and the cable are attached together. Just unusual these days.

I played this game on PC but looking at this page makes me wonder... Why is it still selling for the full price? It's a well knows fact by now that the game was completely misrepresented to gamers and it's nowhere near the quality that was promised. Basically it's no where near the $60 asking price and should be brought down to $20 or even less. Even its developers are basically bailing on this game and have been literally hiding for over a month, and the company is now being investigated by consumer protection agencies for fraud. Do not buy it for this price.

I was very excited to upgrade from my Gear Fit to Gear Fit 2, there were some issues with the original that the new one promised to correct. It looked good and had glowing great reviews on the web, so I went in, traded in the original and purchased the new Gear Fit 2 with 2 year protection plan from Best Buy.
At this time, still within 2 weeks from the launch of the device, I must say however, it's not perfect by any means, in fact it feels rushed and half baked, especially its software.
I'll start with pros. This band looks nice, build quality seems good and the wrist bands are soft and feel nice. It's also very light, I constantly forget I'm wearing it. The screen is beautiful of course, I like the new shape of it better than the original. The new Gear app appears to be a little bit more polished too. My favorite feature so far is the charger, it's easy to use magnetic desktop stand that looks nice, charges quickly and connects flawlessly, however it still uses metal contacts, I was hoping for wireless charging capability, hoping to use it with one of the Qi charging docks I have, but no, maybe next time. Still, original Fit had the worst charging design possible, one of the major flaws of it, and it's nice to see this improvement with the new one.
Now the cons. The Bad, and the Ugly. I'm surprised I'm not seeing any of these complaints in other reviews, after all, it doesn't take long to discover that this brand new device is buggy and needs an update asap (but will it get it?). Today is my third day of owning it, and so far I've discovered few issues. Main one for me is a general slowness and lagging of the device. One of the big selling points for Gear Fit 2 is the much more powerful hardware. It has a dual core 1GHz processor and 512MB of Ram, while the original Fit was only a "weak" single core 180MHz with 8MB of Ram. Well, the new Fit 2 lags, something I've never experienced with the original. If I don't use interact with the device for 10 minutes or more, chances are it won't wake up from the first press of any button, it happens to me all the time and it's very annoying, I press the home button and nothing happens, I press it again and it wakes up. Then there is this lag with alarms and music player. If my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge) is playing music, and I want to use my Gear Fit 2 to change a song or adjust volume, there is couple of seconds of delay while those devices communicate with each other, it was never an issue with the original, which was always instant. When an alarm goes off in the morning, I cancel it from the Fit 2, first the alarm will sound for 2-3 seconds before it even shows up on the band, then once canceled, there is another 2 seconds delay until it actually turn off, again, was never an issue with the original. So what's the problem? Why can't it keep up? I suspect a software update will at some point address this, so I'll be waiting.
My next issue is with display orientation. A landscape mode is not an option anymore, they said most people preferred portrait view and so it made sense to them to stick with that. Sure maybe it is better for most people, but I personally like to wear my fitness band on the inside of my wrist and I have to twist it more now to operate the device, I really liked the landscape view of the original better. I doubt this will ever be addressed, it's not a bug, it's just how it is, imo, just laziness, nothing was stopping Samsung from adding it other than some time and money, so they decided it wasn't worth the investment. Fair enough. How about allowing me to flip the screen orientation upside down? In case I wear it on my right arm and want buttons on the other side? Nope. Not an option.
Let's go to fitness features. On my second day of using it, while walking on a treadmill, Fit 2 "got confused" or something and stopped counting steps accurately, I tried with both holding my arm in front of me and letting it move naturally, it basically only registered one step for every 5-6 steps I made. It was not a delay in steps updating, when you first look at them, I watched it messing them up for about 5 minutes, then finally gave up and restarted the device, which seemed to fix the issue.
Stair counter hasn't worked for me at all so far, I have a two story house and walking up and down the stairs few times a day has never registered any floors on the device. I've set the goal and it should be counting, but it's just not seeing it, I've actually seen this mentioned in other reviews too.
Also one of the screw covers on the back fell off and is lost already, after closer examination I see that they're just little round robber covers and others will probably fall off eventually too.
So here are my first impressions. Do I feel like it was worth the upgrade from the original Fit? Not sure, I just traded few flaws in the otherwise nice device for another nice device with few other flaws. If I knew it ahead of time, I'd wait, but it's too late for me now, so I'll just wait for the software update.

Work and play online with less interruption. This Linksys router comes equipped with technology that zeroes in on each laptop, tablet, smartphone and computer in your home, for a clearer, faster Wi-Fi signal every time you log on.

Ok, I feel really bad about this, I'm mostly disappointed in myself, because I've read a bunch of reviews here, and I also read a bunch of serious complaints on Linksys forums, but I saw this router on sale and bought is anyway. BTW, I've returned it the same day.
I've been on the marked for a new router after upgrading my cable modem. I had a Netgear R7000 for few years, it was ok, then I bought a ASUS RT-AC68P, it actually felt like a huge upgrade, despite the fact that they are on the same level. Then I saw Linksys WRT1900ACS, with all the reviews screaming about it's superior range and speed, "best router in AC1900 category" they said... so I picked it up, hooked it up and went on testing, just to find out that: 1. Range is actually not as good as ASUS or Netgear. 2. Router interface is painfully slow, firmware update took 10 minutes, initial set up was probably 10 minutes. Other routers did those tasks in 2 minutes tops. 3. Router web interface has adds, simply, get the heck out of here. I just packed it back up, and took it back to the store. I had bad experiences with Linksys in the past, and now I'm pretty sure I will never touch their products again.
Bottom line. There are some other routers that have good reviews, like D-Link DIR880L, or TP-Link Archer something... but from the ones I've tried, ASUS is the best. ASUS RT-AC68P gave me great range and speed, and web interface is better than others, and the phone app is elegant and smooth.
Something good... Well the device itself looks good. From the forums it sounds like with the right third party firmware it can be a beast. Packaging is good. I think that's about it.

What a look for the price!

I wanted to surprise my wife and when I saw this range on sale I had to act. We wanted a stainless steel range to replace our old, ugly, white one for a while. The price is great and it looks so much more expensive! Unfortunately my local Best Buy didn't have it in stock and the earliest delivery was a month away, so I found it for the same price at Lowe's, and picked it up that day. Installation was easy, I just had to pick up an adapter to reuse my old gas hose ($8) and a leak detection liquid is a good idea, just in case ($5). Anyway, when my wife saw it she loved it, and she taught it was easily a $1000 range (I almost got in trouble there). Everything from how the timer and oven operates to huge oven window, to how quickly burners light up and how powerful the flame is... everything feels very premium.
Of course for the price it has its cons... One of the popular complains that I see online is that the oven handle gets hot. It definitely does, not so hot that it'll burn you, but hot enough to feel uncomfortable to grab on, and some people might need to use a towel. Then, so far when we use the oven we get a plastic burning smell, now idk, it may be normal for a new range, and some people said so in other reviews, but it's pretty strong and I just hope it goes away soon. Another thing I don't like is how the broiler door at the bottom opens, I don't use the broiler often, but looks like I'll have to get down on the floor to put stuff in and take it out, it's just a door that flips down, not a drawer stile like many other ranges. One last complaint is the amount of cleaning it requires to look good, all the shiny black parts and stainless steel elements are hard to clean, I found that a microfiber cloth works best.

This device is good looking and very fast, but I have a problem with something. It says you must install the software first, fine. Then the disc gives you an option to install windows drivers only, great, I did that and it seemed to work, but almost instantly it went ahead and installed the Netgear Genie software anyway and I didn't like that. Now I kept it to make sure it works the best is can, and I just don't feel like messing around with drivers and stuff any more, but feels like it was pushed on my so for that I have to take a star. Otherwise the adapter works great and paired with a good AS network it's insanely fast.

Totally innapropriate review
June 15, 2015
It obviously sounds like you're upset that this game is not coming to PS4 (btw, nowhere does it say it ever will), I can understand that, but it doesn't make it "trash". As a review of a product, you shouldn't rate it a one star based on if it's coming to your console of choice or not.

Does the charger work with 220V?
Will this charger work in Europe/India where they use 220V? Or does the charger work with 110V only?
Actual wall charger says Input 100-240V, so it should be fine, but you can also just use any Micro USB cable to charge it with.

Bland new in a sealed box. The box looks kind of basic, just a cardboard with some generic laptop picture and specs on the side.

i want to buy a printer
what printer goes with a hp pavilion touch smart 21-ho14 all in one pc
Pretty much any printer will work. Ask yourself what you're going to use it for. If you just want to print some documents, concert tickets or boarding passes, get a B&W laser printer, because toner lasts for ever and they don't require as much maintenance. If you want to print full color pictures or photos, get an Ink-Jet, but be prepared to spend a little more on expensive Ink.
