I have a love hate relationship with this remote. It can be really good at times but can also be really bad. Setup was pretty simple connecting to your wifi network and then just adding your devices. I have it setup with my Nvidia Shield TV, it will lose connection to the Shield constantly. It connects again shortly after. It will also not register presses for selecting a profile on Hulu and will not recognize a screen press to exit the app. I also have it connected to my Hue smart bulbs, Nest thermostat and Sonos speaker. Hue control works fine along with the Nest thermostat with very basic Nest control. The remote is about the size of the Apple TV remote but fatter, it also uses the swiping gesture similar to the Apple TV remote. Battery life is not that great but there is a usb style charging stand to conveniently keep the battery topped off.

These in ear headphones actually sound pretty good. A few minor problems that I have with them though. My ears do not like the fit, so they are not very comfortable for long periods of listening. The single button control is a little finicky and takes some practice to get it just right. I do like that there isn't a tiny flap that you have to try and open while plugging in the micro usb charger. They also have a simple but pretty cool feature with a magnetic pause. It automatically pauses your music when magnetically attaching the two earpieces together. Battery life is also good.

This is a very solid beverage cooler with a very solid build quality. The cooler does what it's supposed to do, keeps your beverages cool. Wooden removable shelves for cleaning and storing larger items. Temperature can be set anywhere between 41 deg F to 61 deg. F. There is also an interior light with a switch. The inside temperature will increase slightly if the light is left on. The odd thing is that it came with a Canadian energy usage guide and is listed at 187 kWH per year. I was a bit worried about the energy usage of having something like this running all the time. The actual rating of the unit is 115VAC and 1.3 amps. Plugged it into my Kill-a-watt meter and it sits at 1 to 2 watts, with light on its about 15 watts. Compressor kicked on and its right around the the name plate rating (a bit lower actually).

You need to accept this phone for what it is. It's a pretty solid phone for a reasonable price. I got in on the special pricing they had and for what I paid its an awesome bargain. The phone has a massive battery (not sure what the real world usage will give, just received yesterday). The phone even comes with headphones. What? That is unheard of in this day and age. It also comes with a case, not the best quality though and a screen protector. Near stock Android M, dual sim, and an SD slot make this a pretty good deal on pretty solid phone. Yes, it does cut corners on a lot of things but it has to be done to keep the price at what it is.

Large HD but don't keep anything important on it

Do not count this as a one star rating. It's a zero star rating. This hard drive is literally 2 months old, manufactured 10/2016. I have had it for a week. It no longer works. I know this could happen with any mechanical hard drive of any brand but come on 2 months old and it's done. I will no longer be using Seagate hard drives for any custom builds or external storage. Probably best to avoid Seagate products. I will not be sending this back to Seagate but to Best Buy for a refund

For the price this is an amazing phone. The EMUI skin isn't as bad as the online reviewers are stating, I think it's rather nice. The Snapdragon 616 does a good job of just getting things done with minor slow downs. The fingerprint sensor is an awesome feature and the overall build quality of the phone is pretty good. It doesn't have the heft of some metal built phones but to me that is a good thing. Marshmallow is rumored to be hitting this "soon". Good job Huawei.

This is a very good laptop, "for the price". Keep that in mind if considering this one. I believe this is now discontinued from Lenovo therefore, the lower price. It ticked most of my checklist boxes when looking for a laptop for by wife's boss. Touchscreen, backlit full keyboard with numpad, 1920x1080 screen, usb 3.0 and hdmi. Really the only thing that was missing was an SSD drive, but that can be taken care of rather easily. I was looking in the 500-600 dollar range for ones that include SSD. Just remember what you're getting for the price and you should be happy.

1 out of 5Junk laptop!!!!
By Cal60
My wife and I were looking for a new laptop as our Dell went "black screen" on us and was just too expensive to replace with the same model ($850.00)+! So we decided to purchase the Lenovo Ideapad 110 ($330.00+). It worked GREAT for all of 12 day's! I tried to turn it on in the morning when I got up, NOTHING!!!, not even a flash. It was fully charged (been charging all night! I tried several times to get it to power up but no luck. Also, you cannot remove the battery to even try a hard boot! Maybe I got the one exception because when it was working, it worked GREAT!!! All I know now is I lost about 200 family photo's and a Norton subscription ($80.+). BestBuy told me for only $35-50 they could "try" and recover my pics but I'm out the Norton software no matter what and there would be no guarantee they could recover my pics either but it would still cost me the tech charge!!!!!!! I was able to recover my Dell with the help of my Niece so I think I'll just wait until it dies completely before I buy another laptop and NOT likely at BB.
I would warn anyone who buy's a laptop in the $300-400 range, DON'T download any personal or other pro. that cost YOU until you've had it at least a month!!!!!!!!!

Important lesson
March 5, 2017
Never leave your important stuff on a computers hard drive only. Also...how are you out the $80+ dollars for the software? That statement is confusing, please elaborate.

The only drawbacks are the half size shift key on the right side and that you can not upgrade the ram. I mostly use this for movies and web browsing so 4GB is enough. I also game with it. I play may Xbox One through it.

Upgrade ram
March 12, 2017
You most certainly can upgrade the ram. I think you put in up to a 16GB stick. You don't need that much just grab another 4GB, 8GB would be more than enough. This isn't the easiest of laptops to access the ram slot but it can be done.

I have been looking for an inexpensive computer for my HS son. He really needs it for a software called Inventor (mechanical design/3D CAD software). Can you run/work it on this computer without issues?
Add more ram and you should be OK.

windows 10 home or windows 10 professional???
Best Buy sure is lacking on the descriptions these days. What are they being charged by the word to put the actual information on the website? They just describe it as Windows 10. I would bet that it's Windows 10 Home though.

Can this run games such as Overwatch,Minecraft,and Team Fortress?
Probably Minecraft, Overwatch takes a pretty serious gaming computer to run. Team Fortress needs a bit more juice too. This is a $250 laptop and will be for basic word processing, photo editing and internet surfing.

Is Elments 11 compatible with this computer?
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11? If so, that's a pretty old version of the software and might not be updated to run on Windows 10. You will need to do some research on that version and see if works. This has nothing to do with the laptop but more so what operating system it's running. This machine has more than enough horsepower to run it though if that's what your asking.
