This Panasonic DMP-BDT230 Blu-ray player supports 1080p content. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

I needed to upgrade my old Blu-ray player because it was hanging on layer changes and very slow to load a movie. This one has no problems with hanging and starts movies up much quicker. It also has more services built in. Netflix and Hulu should be expected, but this also includes Amazon Instant video which is less common. The only downside to this player is lack of output options. To get audio output separate from the HDMI signal, you have to use an optical connector. Unfortunately, my receiver wants an RCA connector for the DVD player, meaning I had to use the CD input to get audio, and that's not configured for surround. So, if you want to hook this up to a home audio system, make sure you can use an optical input for the sound, or be able to pull it out of the HDMI.

better than you would think from the reviews

Although there were a lot of reviews complaining about poor screen performance, I decided to take a chance and get one anyway. My screen works just fine. There are also a lot of complaints about how easily the watchface gets scratched. I've bumped mine into a wall, and the mark rubbed right off. No, it's not a sapphire crystal, but it's also not a $300 watch. Using it with iOS does take using some workarounds like installing the httpebble helper app, and it still doesn't work as good as it would with Android. However, It does work really well with various music apps for displaying and changing the current track, and it works well with notifications. Just being able to see text messages without taking my phone out of my pocket is probably worth the price, but there are a couple of great watchfaces that show weather information along with the time and date that seal the value for me. Until Apple comes along with something better, this is the smartwatch to get.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

best small laptop for the money

This is a quality computer, constructed out of great materials that is going to last for a long time and retain a lot of trade-in value. It comes pre-loaded with most of the personal software you'll need and none of the bloatware you'll find on Windows computers. If you're switching to the Apple OS, you'll need to get used to the Finder-based method of file navigation, but then again, if you're switching to Windows 8, you'd have to get used to the new UI there as well. If you've got the money to spend, you're better off spending it on a MacBook than a comparable Windows laptop.
