Phenomenal!

Posted by: Linksys
from Richmond,VA
Googles first attempt at their own phone (software/ hardware developed by Google) is a solid homerun, even though it has a few shortcomings!
The hardware; at least to me is absolutely beautiful and on par with any of the top cellphone manufacturers out there. The software; is so smooth and buttery, there literally is no lag! It reminds me of iOS in the early days. The screen at 5 inches is a sweet spot, though I love bigger screens, it's a nice comprise especially if you want a big screen but dont have big hands.
If you are a died in the wool Android person, this phone is an excellent choice when considering a new phone. The price could be a shortcoming for some, and the lack of headphones baffles me especially when you're competing with the big manufacturers. 32 gb may not seem like a lot of storage these days, but Google gives you unlimited photo and video cloud storage for all taken on the Pixel.
Google should be very proud of this phone and anyone should put it on their short list when searching for a phone.

Powerful Rocket!
on September 21, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
This is personally my second Shark vacuum first of this type, but forth if you count family members. I first tried Shark in 2011 when I was looking for a new vacuum and couldn't be believe all the positive reviews for it so I decided to try one and have had one ever since! The Rocket line of vacuums are literally a do everything vacuum. The versatility of this vacuum is great it lets you easily clean baseboards, cobwebs from corners and switch from carpet to hardwoods without doing anything besides pushing a button. If you have a large area to clean this would be better suited as a backup or companion vacuum to a larger one. If you live in a small apartment/house (1200/1300/sf) this could be your only vacuum and serve you well.
Pros:
Extremely powerful

Excellent charger/stand
on August 24, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
If you have both an iPhone and an Apple Watch this should be the charger you buy! You don't have to use your own charging cables as this has its own charging cable that powers both. This is a big selling point to me, because now it frees up your cables so you can use them elsewhere. The lighting charging part where you charge your phone is adjustable up and down and moves back and forth which is really nice if you use a case. The stand is nice and heavy and is very solid, if you are in the market for this type of charger/stand don't pass this one up

WOW!
on May 28, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
My last laptop was an HP, but that was in 2008 so its been some time since I have used their products. Boy what a difference time makes! This laptop like others have said is incredibly thin and absolutely beautiful! It is very well built and feels very premium, HP should feel very proud of this thing, if this is the direction the company is going then their future looks very bright.
Since its been years since I have used Windows ( I've messed around with Windows 8 a little ) Windows 10 is very impressive so far. I have an Xbox One so I am use to and actually really like the tile design of Windows 10. It is very fast to start up and shutdown and things in general are very fast on this thing. I'm sure having 8GB of RAM and CORE i7 is a big factor in that
Positives-Incredibly thin, premium feel and construction, very fast and speedy, portability,USB C/thunderbolt 3, 256 GB of storage, Bang & Olufsen, glass track pad
Negatives- Battery life, I don't see it lasting the 9 hours HP quotes but its not terrible, I can see a strong 7 maybe more depending on what you do and how you configure the settings. Yes, its a finger print magnet but in the age of smart phones and tablets that to me is not that big of a deal. Track pad could be bigger.
Bottom line- this thing will turn heads when you pull it out, but its not just a pretty face this thing has the specs that will satisfy all but the most power hunger users! Absolutely love this thing!

Beast!
on May 24, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
The Linksys EA 9500 is an absolute beast of a router! If you need a router that can handle anything and more that you can throw at it this thing is it! I run multiple iPads,iPhones,laptops, an iMac and an Xbox one with this thing and it has not missed a beat. This might be overkill for someone like me, but if you need a network that won't crack under heavy use then this router will handle it and then some. I wanted something that's future proof and that when I upgrade to a 4K tv and can stream 4K content I know that my router can handle it! This thing should be on anybody's short list if you need a strong stable wired/wifi network!

Great budget tablet
on May 18, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
If you look at this tablet for what it is, an inexpensive tablet you will be very happy with it! This is my first Acer product and I am impressed so far for the most part.
The tablet runs the latest version of Android 5.1 with a little influence from Acer with some of its own apps and a few other little things but it's not a full reskin. One helpful app is the system checker which lets you easily close out apps to free up system memory. This is especially helpful since it only has 1GB of RAM which causes you to constantly receive a system memory low message.
Some of the pluses are price, micro SD card slot, nice bright vibrant screen, better than average battery life ( you can expect almost a full day) , Andriod 5.1, and front facing speakers.
The minuses are few, hollow sounding speakers, short charging cable, 1GB of RAM.
Overall this is a very solid tablet for the money and would make a great tablet for a child, grandparent, or even as a second tablet for yourself.

Solid product
on May 12, 2016
Posted by: Linksys
It really doesn't get much simpler to set up a product! Even if your not a person who is very knowledgeable with tech you won't have any trouble setting this up and extending your wireless reach! This will extend your network, but it creates its own SSID and doesn't automatically switch to that network. So for example if you install this on your third floor and your router is on the bottom floor you will need to choose that network on a mobile device each time you needed the coverage where you extender is. This isn't that big of a deal as it's very simple to switch once it's setup and if it's a device that stays where the repeater is it wouldn't matter because it would always use that SSID. If your a frequent traveler this device gives you the ability to take this and an Ethernet cable with you and create your own secure wifi network in a hotel instead of using the free hotel wifi which I'm not a big fan of! Overall, if you need just to extend your network or create your own on the go the Linksys Maxstream should definitely be on your shopping list.

Only at Best BuySafeguard your Apple iPad Air 2 with this Modal MD-PD6SC2B smart case that features polyurethane material for lasting protection while maintaining a stylish design.
Posted by: Linksys
from Richmond,VA
I too was initially planing to buy the Apple Smart Cover but noticed this and was throughly impressed. I hate using cases but from time to time I need one. So I like them to look nice and not add much bulk, well this one does both very well. If you are looking for total protection this is not the case, but if you are looking for a high quality, light, slim and good looking case then this is worth every penny. It does provide a nice compromise between going naked and having a case on your device.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

The one to get.

from Richmond,VA
This gen at least so far goes to Sony. I was a huge 360 fan, thought for the most part Microsoft really understood gamers. Well that was last gen because basically Sony and Microsoft swapped places, the xbox One is focused on media and the PS4 is focused on the gaming experience. I initially bought an xbox one, but ended up returning it and getting a PS4.
The PS4 with its cheaper price, much improved controller (I can't emphasize that enough), better graphics, it's just an all around better experience in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I will miss not being able to play Titanfall, (though there talk it might come to PS4 at some point) I will surely look forward to a new Uncharted. Can't go wrong with either, but I think the PS4 gives you more for your money.

This is Androids Apple TV. Yes there was ways to stream from an Android phone before to a device but nothing as good as this and as cheap. I have been an Apple TV user since the second gen and have nothing but great things to say about. Now my wife,stepson and me can now stream seamlessly from are android devices. Just out of the gate I think the chromecast is excellent , and with time it can only get better with more content. If you can find one get it.

I understand and know there has been Nexus devices for years that run stock android. But all reports from plenty of sources ( The Verge, Andriod Central, Droid Life and so on) have indicated that the Pixel is the FIRST phone where Google designed the hardware and software to work together like Apple does with the iPhone. Even though HTC made the hardware.

I got my first Bluetooth headphones 2 years ago with the Beats solo2 headset. As much as I liked them having the wire between the two could still be a pain at times depending on what you're doing. The new AirPods are phenomenal from the sound quality, ease of use and just the general quality. These are my new go to headphones, I love the fact I can just use one at a time if I want and the fact the case is a battery also so it charges them when you place them in the case. Worth every cent!

Until Apple fixes the issue with these disconnecting from calls while using a 6s and 6s plus avoid these. I'm on my second pair and they both would randomly disconnect while talking.

What are the differences between Xbox 360 and Playstation 3?
I am trying to decide if I should buy a Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3? I wanted to know the differences between them
I have both and barely play the ps3. The differences between the two are, The ps3 has built in wifi, has the ability to browse the web, bluray, and online is free. 360- you have to pay for xbox live gold membership(silver membership is free) it is worth it though. The 360 has a much better controller, after a while the ps3 controller buttons start to stick. The 360 has better exclusives ( though there are some potentially good ones coming to the ps3).Xbox live marketplace is second to none, netflix tons of arcade games and just all around more fun.
