Sports, action, shooters, you name it. The familiar layout of this gamepad brings console-style control to your PC games. Bring the gaming console experience to your PC with this game controller that features broad game support for wide-ranging use and a floating D-pad for simple operation. The 6' cord allows you to sit back and relax while playing your favorite games.

Works great for the price - No complaints!

I play all sorts of games like Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast, Lego Star Wars 2 , Lego Indiana Jones, and I can flip the switch to accommodate any game if one mode does not work. Installing the Gamepad was easy. This controller is essentially two products in one. An XBOX 360 Controller, and a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. Flipping the switch toggles these modes. It also works great with classic game emulators and it was easy to configure. Really do reccomend this for people with Netbooks, its like having a portable game station in your bag with a 10 inch screen.
What's great about it: Ease of Use, controller design, great for big hands
What's not so great: No cons at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Screen random shows black figures and shapes
By bulamom
my new laptop started showing this weird pattern, randomly, on the first day I started surfing the internet. I haven't tried other programs yet. What could be causing it? I will be returning unit to the store for a replacement.

Bad version of Firefox
July 1, 2016
It appears that this version of Firefox was incorrectly configured at the factory. Since version 47 is out now I suggest removing the one that Acer included and download the new one from the Firefox website. The laptop is fine, it's the browser.

Looks beautiful, but performance . . .
By minde
. . . is slow. Right out of the box I was very disappointed. The specs seem fine: i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. But this laptop just ran slow. Sluggish response in just about every way. Just not acceptable for someone on the go. A client who is a busy business owner bought this for himself and after I set it up I suggested he return it.

Slow performance
July 2, 2016
Once you create the recovery drive and make a backup of the wireless drivers, you can take a Windows 10 iso and do a clean format and let Windows 10 Update take care of the rest of the install. This is going to take some time, but should help with the sluggish nature of the laptop. I had noticed this too when I opened it up out of the box, that and the Firefox issue with the black dots appearing, it seems if you disable hardware acceleration the problem goes away.

No Service
September 11, 2016
My phone all of a sudden said no service to me when I was in Disneyland last month, and I did not have any cell service. Was without a phone for 2 days. I had an old Pixi Pulsar Android phone that I upgraded from, so I took the SIM card out of the Galaxy Prime and put it into the Pixi Pulsar. I turned off the Pixi Pulsar and put it back into the Galaxy Prime and my service came back. Was a weird service glitch but I ended up not needing the SIM Card they sent me.

Can you get live sports like Jays and Leafs? I heard you can purchase basic tv package with it?

There are major premium networks you can subscribe to like NHL Center Ice through the official app. You will need to sign up for NHL.com and a Center Ice package in order to stream hockey games on your TV. This is subject to blackout rules just like the television games played online.

Does the Roku Express Steaming media player get 5G? I currently have Roku 2XS and it will not pick up my 5G signal (and therefore will not play my STARZ channel). I need a Roku that can access 5G wifi.

I'm not sure why you would need a 5ghz band to stream HD content for Starz. I had used the app Fandango now to stream Moana in HD and I was connected to the 2.4ghz band the whole time without lag. If you're finding constant dropouts while using the 2.4 ghz band consider changing the radio channel for your router to see if that helps.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

I want to order the Pixel to my Hotel (I'll stay in NY for a few days next week), BUT a signature is required for delivery of this item. Any idea on how can this work?

There is one way but you must sign up for the carriers online delivery account and waive your rights against the shipper to leave the item without a signature. This can be very dangerous so I would suggest that you find a friend that lives in that area and have it delivered to them.

Also if you live an an international area and not in the USA, the phone is not guaranteed to work in an international locale.

Hello, Is it sim free version? If it is not, will it be available to preorder?

A Verizon postpaid SIM is inside the box but I activated my device on Tracfone using their own SIM. The device is not carrier locked.

When you preorder the phone for retail you pay 699$. Do I also pay tax on the 699$ because than it would be over 730$. Or is the 699$ with tax?

Phones are subject to local sales tax. Your tax rate will vary depending on what are a you live in.

This Dynex™ DX-1122 portable battery recharges most devices with a micro USB charge port, so you can talk, text and surf longer. The aluminum housing provides protection against bumps, scratches and other accidental damage.
 

How long does it take to give the Dynex charger a full charge ?

About 4 hours if it's completely empty.
