Great sound in a little package

I recently had the opportunity to review the Bose Soundlink II bluetooth speaker as part of the Best Buy Tech Insider Network.
The speaker is packaged nicely, with instructions included in many languages. Pairing with my Samsung s7 was extremely fast and easy using bluetooth. The Bose soundlink II will allow you to connect up to 2 devices at once and switch between them. It has a built in speaker so you can make calls or contact google or siri right through the speaker.
As with most Bose speaker products, the sound was very full with a natural tone. The quality of the sound was very good and the volume was surprisingly loud.
Bose also has a free app you can download to your phone or device to control the speaker and switch between devices connected to the bose soundlink II. There is also a 3.5mm jack to plug in devices that might not have bluetooth capability. This Bose speaker is water resistant so a quick shower while your on the beach shouldn't cause any harm and it is rechargeable using almost any usb charging device. If you are someone who like to move around a lot or be outside and you like to listen to music or news while your doing it, this speaker will really make you happy.

good laptop with some neat features
on October 9, 2016

I received this laptop about 1 week ago as part of the Best Buy tech insider program. In exchange, I give my honest opinion of the product. The Acer Aspire R15 is a very slim notebook with a nice looking 15.6 inch monitor. The fun part is how the laptop can convert to a tablet by folding the screen over to the back. It is a bit larger than most tablets most people would use, but I think I really like it. I have a surface 4 and to me, this laptop in tablet mode doesn't feel any thicker (I do have my surface in a sleeve so that does make it somewhat thicker). The keys on this laptop are nice and they are backlit which is a very nice feature. There is no built in DVD player so you will need to purchase an external one if that is important to you. i have a portable blueray burner that I use for this laptop and the surface. This laptop is very quiet and hardly generates any noticeable heat when on my lap. In general I really like this laptop and I almost always grab it in place of my other devices. With all of the said, there are some issues I have found. The most annoying is a problem with microsoft store apps. Games such as solitaire and mine sweeper tend to crash in the middle of the game. In researching the web, there seems to be many other devices with this issue, so I am going to put the blame on Microsoft. I have done a complete reset twice on this machine and the problem persists. To me the mouse pad is nice, but tends to be more sensitive than I normally like. I know that I can make some adjustments and I will, but this is out of the box impressions. The computer is very snappy overall, but there are times when there seems to be an extended period between clicking on an app and when it pulls up. Lastly, I wish there was a hard drive light so I can at least tell something was happening (did I mention this machine is very quiet) and I wish the number lock key and the caps lock key had a light on them showing their status. The only lights are the power light and the battery light. Back to some positives - there are a number of ports. Two usb 3 ports, one usb 2, one usb type c port, a full sized HDMI port (unlike some of my other laptops), a headphone jack and an SD card reader. Screen quality is extremely good looking to me. I don't have any fancy gauges to measure light output, but I do like the looks of it. Maybe the biggest disappointment to me is the lack of a stand alone video card. This computer is using the Intel video driver found on the I5 processor. Honestly I havn't found it lacking on any of the microsoft app store games I have played on this laptop, but I don't think I would run out and buy any high end games and expect them to run at high settings and 60 FPS. Overall, my impressions are that this is a very good general purpose laptop with a very nice feature in its convertible screen. In just a few words, I like it. I just wish I could figure out how to solve the Microsoft store apps problems.
