Stylish and compact

Bestbuy does not have a large selection of stocked am/fm alarm clocks but this is the most stylish and compact of what is stocked. Note that there are many radio alarm clock radios that Bestbuy stocks but a lot of them are FM only. Let’s take a look at the details -
Display – easy to see and you can adjust how bright it is. The screen has a mirror like finish that looks good.
Alarm – it gradually wakes you. Starts out as a low tone and then gets louder. You may see some reviews that it is not loud enough, they may not be giving it enough time to get to it’s loudest. There are two alarms. One issue is the buttons to select whether the alarm is off, buzzer or radio. The buttons are small, flat and difficult to get to the middle selection of the buzzer – there is not enough positive click between the selections.
Radio - it has FM/AM tuner. It is fine for a basic radio but there is no preset option. Reception is okay.
Features - the Sony ICFC1T size is very compact, it is essentially a 4 inch cube. The snooze function is great, you can select from 10,20 or 30 minutes. This is done by how many times you press the snooze button when the alarm goes off. It has a battery back up where the alarm will ring even if the power is off.
The Sony ICFC1TBLACK is stylish, compact and does it job as alarm clock. What I really like is the compact size and looks. I realize that may not be for everyone ( especially if you have large fingers) so if you want something easier to control and select , look to the Insignia NS-CLOPP2. If size is not an issue or you want something that looks great, this is a good choice.

Not bad for the money, but set your expectations
on December 2, 2016
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Massapequa Park
First, let me start off that you have to set the proper expectations. This is an entry level tablet that is 1/3rd the price of an Ipad. Once you set those expectations, you do get a lot for your money. It is a perfectly functional tablet, just not in the same class of the more expensive tablets. The reality is if this came out 5 years ago, this would have been a super star. Let’s review aspects of the tablet -
Screen -
As with most models in this segment. You get a 10 inch screen that is 1280 x 800. It is Gorilla Glass 4 so it is tough but that is one generation behind. The screen does pick up a lot of glare and finger prints. There is some type of coating but it does not seem to help. In terms of brightness, this tablet really can only be used indoors. I compared it to my Surface and IPad and it is not even close. For web browsing and youtube indoors, it is fine. The colors are okay, not quite popping as today’s cell phones but it does a decent job in replicating skins tones in movies. It’s black levels are a bit grey and washed out. The sharpness is not quite there, you can definitely see a loss in detail in some movies and there is some judder/pixelation on fast moving scenes. Not sure if that should be under performance or the screen category.

The sharpness is not quite there, you can definitely see a loss in detail in some movies and there is some judder/pixelation on fast moving scenes. Not sure if that should be under performance or the screen category.
Battery and charging -
This does charge slowly when charging from a completely depleted battery. I drained down the battery completely and it charged to 11% after 30 minutes. To me, that is very slow. However, once you have it charged up, the battery life is surprisingly good. With the wifi on and internet usage including occasional youtube, I got about 10 hours. It is hard to give an exact number of hours but it was over two days and was very good. I kept track of the time and it was over 10 hours. One thing I did notice is it does get a bit hot when you are running it for a while . It is not too hot but definitely more than I expected.
Performance -
Before I get into the overall performance, the start up from a complete shut down is slow . After several tries, it averaged about 48 seconds. I am not going to go over the specs of the processor, ram etc, you can look that up since it is the real world performance that counts. To be honest, I expected worse. There is some hesitation in games and multitasking but it held it’s own for the most part.Games that are more graphic intensive will not perform well or at all so stick to the basic games. I want to remind you of what I first wrote, set the proper expectations and the tablet will do what it was designed to do. Expect a Ipad or Samsung Galaxy tablet performance and you will be dissappointed.
Speakers-
The speakers are not Iconia One 10’s strongest features. The volume is moderately loud but the speakers just sound tinny at the highest volumes and the bass sounds garbled. Movies via youtube were okay but songs were not. Playing Bohemia Rhapsody by Queen became annoyingly tinny. Use head phones or external speaker if you want better quality.

Cameras -
There is a front and rear camera. I did not expect much here and that is exactly what I got. The front camera renders inconsistent pictures and is severly affected by light levels. The rear facing camera is a bit more capable, equivalent to an Iphone 4S. Not great but it works. In reality, I never had much need for cameras on a tablet .

Overall contruction and quality -
The Acer Iconia One 10 is nice looking and solid. The back is all white plastic and the screen border is white as well. It is reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy 5 in all white. There is a micro sd slot to expand the memory , a nice touch on a tablet at this price point. It does not feel too heavy but is definitely on the thicker side. For reference I would put is 50% heavier and thicker than an Ipad. I do not want it to sound like it is too big or heavy, just bigger than what you might expect. There is some flex in the back cover but it still feels solid in most respects. Quality overall is decent, especially when you consider the price. Acer definitely has their manufacturing process down and it is showing here.
Software -
I am not going to review the Android version since it is ubiguitious at this point. Acer does pre-load the Microsoft Office suite, several games, eBay app , Hulu and more. They do not take up too much space.

So is this the tablet you have yearning for – probably not. Is this the tablet that is a great value and a decent feature set - absolutely. I see this as a secondary tablet or something you can give your kid and not worry about breaking the bank. It is not the worst out there but for a few more bucks you can get a better tablet. If there is any market segment this would be good for it is the 10 to 14 year olds. There is even pre-loaded software called the Kid's center that I think the younger kids would love. Overall, I would recommend it for that segment but not as much for adults.

Bose does it again.
on December 2, 2016
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Massapequa Park
I’ve used these for over a month and this is one of the best headsets I have used. First, the setup is very straightforward; pairing only takes a few seconds. There is an app you need to download to take advantage of some features ( more on that later.) One note, the app makes it appear at first you need to go through the app to pair but you do not. Almost immediately after pairing , running the app and putting the headset on , you will hear that the SoundSport Pulse is detecting your heart rate rate The heart rate sensor is compatible with several fitness apps. Overall, beyond reading your heart rate, the app does not have many functions and I really do not see the point of the app from playing a music perspective. Music will not start through the app but can be controlled once it is started . Yes you can skip tracks, increase volume etc but the app is not much beyond that. The Bose app will tell interrupt between songs to tell you “heart rate detected.” SoundSport Pulse seems to work fine when paired via Bluetooth for IOS and Android. I tried both with no issues whatsoever.
So let’s look at a point by point features, functions and design.
Build quality, look and feel and fit.
The SoundSport Pulse is relatively light for it’s size
The SoundSport Pulse stays put suprisingly well but you need to make sure you have to have the clip attached because it will everntually fall out of your ears if you are jogging.
The ear pieces are not a complete seal, they just “float” in the ear. I know some people may not like this but I think this is intentional since the design the headset is geared to someone using the Soundsport Pulse when exercising. I am sure you would want to hear a car coming when jogging. In a closed enviroment, outside sound is really not an issue.
The headset’s overall size is big for an in ear design and it will feel enormous if you are used to the Apple traditional ear pods. You have to get used to the correct position of the ear pieces but once I found the right spot, they are most comfortable I ever felt.
Since this is a “sport “ design, the headset is water resistant. I did not put it in water but everything looks water resistant. The only thing to watch out for is to make sure you use the cover to seal the power connecter, I can tell that if this is forgotten that there will be water intrusion.

Sound quality, control and power -
The sound is simply fantastic.
For music, it is clear , hits highs and most of the lows ( you cannot expect much of the low range for ear piece headsets.)
Voice clarity is spot on and very clear.
Volume is tremendous – it can easily get too loud on the highest setting.
There is no active noise cancellation so a loud background will intrude but not too much.
There is an inline mic and control. You can adjust volume and skip songs. I find the control is too far up on the wire and close to ear to easily access. I do not think there is another great place for it due to the compact design so Bose had no choice. I find the buttons a bit hard to activate .

I am going to put the battery life in it’s own category. They are rated at 5 hours. I do not know if Bose is underestimating that or because I use d the headset at a relatively low volume, I easily got 6+ hours. I did not continuely use them 6 hours but used them periodically and tried to keep track. Suffice to say, you will get at least 5 hours if not more from one charge.
Overall, I found the Bose to be the best I have tried. Bose has nearly succeeded in making a head set that does all things well, not an easy feat when dealing with the size constraints of wireless in ear headset. There are some improvements I would suggest. An Apple Watch and Android Wear app would be very useful, especially for controlling the volume, skipping tracks and answering the phone. Additionally, I would like to see some active noise cancellation. Since this feature is present in many phone bluetooth phone headsets, I do not see why it cannot be incorporated. I know Bose may say these are designed to allow sound ot intrude, there is no reason it could be turned on and off. At this price point, it should be here. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
As indicated, this is a great headset. It is far better than the Apple EarPods and the most comfortable I have used. I recommend picking one up.

Not all routers are created equal.
on October 5, 2016
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I bet you are saying, “yawn, another review about a router that is going to claim to make my internet super fast.” Well, not so fast ( pun intended.) Over the past year or so, manufacturers have been introducing new routers to not only extend the WiFi coverage but to maintain peak speeds at all areas of coverage. This is usually accomplished through something called a mesh network that consists of the main router and a satellite “extender” that is used to extend coverage and maintain speed integrity. That is where the Netgear Orbi comes in. The Orbi consists of one router and one satellite unit. I know what you are thinking ( as did I,) “who cares – just another extender.” Traditionally, that would be correct as most routers and extenders communicate to each other by one or two of the standard bands of the router ( 5GHz and 2.4GHz) and do not necessarily increase network performance. The Netgear Orbi System on the other hand is a tri-band router with one 5 GHz channel dedicated for communication to the satellite and two other bands ( 5.0 GHz and 2.4GH) for direct connection to the router. What this does is creates a network that allows two bands to be dedicated for connected devices and a third band for those devices connected to the extended signal of the satellite. A novel idea but Netgear did not stop there. On the back of the satellite is 4 ethernet ports and USB connection for storage devices ( sadly it is only USB 2.0.) This means you can connect up to 4 internet capable devices directly to this dedicated channel. Connect a gaming system directly to this satellite with an ethernet cable and you have the fastest, stable connection you can get.
So what about the other features? At $400 , you would expect the best of the best features and the Orbi has them all. It is 802.11ac, IPV6, parental controls , access point mode, Dynamic DNS, port forwarding etc. Most people do not care as long as the device works but some of these make the router future proof. I tested the port forwarding for IP camera and it worked fine. Another nice feature ( which you will see the first time you set up the router) is automatic over the air updates. No need to worry about checking for updates, the Orbi will take care of itself. The first update took over 5 minutes so be patient during initial set up.
Speaking of the setup , I really think Netgear did a good job on this. It was a straight forward, browser based installation . It can be done through any mobile device or computer. First you plug in the router to the modem, plug in the power and then set the satellite in the appropriate place in your home. The network is already set up ( you can change the name and password during the set up if you want) and you just need to follow the web based set up instructions. It took me about 15 minutes with updates. Not bad at all and I experienced no issues. One note, you will only see one network after set up, the Orbi handles whether it is on the 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz bands. It did catch me by surprise but it makes sense after understanding how the product works.
I have been running the Orbi for a few weeks now and have noticed a difference. Although I do not live in a large house, there were some issues in the overall performance of my existing internet provider supplied router. One measurement of internet performance is latency. Latency is how long it takes data to travel between its source and destination, measured in milliseconds. The higher the number, the worse it is. Old Network latency was acceptable, falling between 53ms. and 76 ms depending on location. For some gaming, this could be noticed depending on network activity. With Orbi, it is a ridiculously low 3 ms to 39ms. 3ms is as fast as a T1 connection, so this is fast. Signal strength was –65 dBm range ( which is fair) and now is –23 dBm ( which is a strong signal.) The stronger the signal, the greater range you will have before performance degradation. Of course, some of this dependent on the ISP but all things being equal, there was a noticeable improvement with the Orbi in my home.
Overall , my impression is this is solid, well thought out device. The router and satellite are sizable, each being about 9 inches tall by 7 inches wide and 4 inches deep. Not too large compared to some other huge routers on the market. Both the router and satellite are completely white and have overall feel of quality. For those living in a small to medium sized single level home, you may not see that much of a difference in performance. You may consider it for the advantages of the satellite connections. However, for larger or multi-levels homes or ones with lots of connected devices; this is the way to go and you will notice a difference. This is not a device that promises you faster internet, it is device designed to maximize the performance and speed consistency of your network. With today fast devices and ISP's, it really is all about the quality of the network. At $400, this is in line or lower than the competition in price and it makes the Netgear Orbi a better overall value.

Belkin Powerhouse Charge Dock - a step back
on September 11, 2016
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
Best buy actually has the wrong name of the product. It is not the Valet Charge Dock, it is the Belkin Powerhouse Charge Dock . I believe the confusion comes from that this may replace the Valet.Belkin was the first to come out with a dual charging dock for iPhones and Apple Watch. That was the Valet Dock and it was priced high at $150. Fast forward about year and now they have come out with a more affordable version, the Powerhouse Charge Dock.
Key features :
Built-in Apple Watch magnetic charging module with integrated Lightning connector for the iPhone.
Charges the Apple Watch and iPhone simultaneously in comparable time to the OEM charger
Adjustable height lightning connector to accommodate iPhones with cases.
Power is 1A for the Apple Watch and 2.4A for the iPhone
Single tethered AC cable that charges both devices and is 4 feet long.
MFi certifed per Apple standards.

Power is 1A for the Apple Watch and 2.4A for the iPhone
Single tethered AC cable that charges both devices and is 4 feet long.
MFi certifed per Apple standards.
Pros :
Relatively small foot print to accommodate the iPhone and Apple Watch.
The built in lightning connected adjusts in height and hinged to move forward about 45 degrees. This enables the dock to accommodate a wide range of iPhone cases and make it a bit easier to dock the iPhone.
Convenient charging for two devices.
Construction is solid and soft backing support where iPhone rests is a nice touch.
Cons :
While the device is weighted to keep it in place, it is not heavy enough and you have to hold the dock down when removing an iPhone.
Large proprietary power cable that is only 4 feet long. This should have been a universal USB type of design and longer cable.
The all plastic finish is not nearly as nice as the Belkin Valet Charge Dock. The Valet Dock is all metal and just a nicer looking and built product.
The $99 list price is too high considering the next step up Valet Charge Dock is now down to $129 ( if it is still available.)
The dock will work with the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Edition.
Although not designed to work with the Apple Ipod, it did work just fine with the Ipod Touch and Ipod Nano.
Ipads will connect to the dock but I strongly advise against it, there is support and weight to properly dock with an Ipad and it may end up damaging the Ipad.

It is a perfectly capable product and I would recommend it if you can get it from Bestbuy at lower price. If not, go to the next step up to the prior version Valet.

So yes, this is a gift card - not a whole lot to review other than it does what it supposed to. But here is a thought, how often do you get a Best Buy Rewards Certificate that may not be enough to get something expensive or there is not anything you can think of that you could really use? Use it to get an iTunes card. Even if you have $5 Best Buy Certificate, use it on the $15 iTunes card and it is like getting 33% off.

Good quality, nice to look at but not utilitarian

Verified Purchase:Yes
This sleeve is just that – a sleeve. It is not a carry case, it is designed to be put in something else and is made for protection and aesthetics. With that said, it is high quality and made of faux leather that feels and looks like the real thing.
Pros :
Precise fit and protection.
Faux leather has been perfected, it has a luxurious feel.
Slim, quick-loading envelope-style design
Dedicated openings for port access
Lets you charge and access ports while your laptop remains in sleeve
Cons :
A little too precise fit, I would have preferred a little more give.
It could use a handle. I know it is a sleeve but a tasteful handle would have made this a great case.
Enough of the $50 cases/sleeves, we all know they should really cost half that.
The faux leather is not as durable as others, tends to get indents easy.

Stick with the M50-C1
on January 15, 2016
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Massapequa Park
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a less expensive version of the Vizio M50-C1. While slightly newer than the M50-C1, the Vizio D50U-D1 features seems to be the exactly the same as the M50-C1 but there is one glaring difference that you do not see in the specs - LED zones. The M50-C1 has 32 vs only 12 in the D50U-D1 being reviewed here. So what does that mean? Both of these TV's have full array local dimming. That is the ability to dim the area of the screen that needs it, while keeping the bright parts of the screen bright. Something needs to control that so manufactures divide the screen into zones to control the corresponding LED's. The more zones there are, the better control there is over the picture quality (at least in terms of the dynamic contrast ratio.) That is where the difference is between the D50U-D1 and the M50-C1. The D50U-D1 just does not measure up, it's dynamic contrast ratio is 5 million to 1 while the Vizio M50-C1 is 20 million to 1. The greater contrast, the greater number of colors it can display. That is a definitive and noticeable difference in picture quality. When you look at the typical $30 price difference between the D50U-Di and the M50-C1, go for the M50-C1.

If you have a Playstation Vita and you are a fan of God of War from Playstations of the past, this is a must have game. Game play is well done, graphics are good and sounds are just like the original. The controls take some time getting used to but that is more of a limitation of the Vita rather than the game.

can I watch tv and see the person I am talking too on the tv?
Maybe, but it is not a function that is built into the device. You have to connect this to a dedicated HDMI port. Theoretically, if your TV had picture in picture ; you could display two video sources.

The Back-UPS battery backup offers guaranteed power and surge protection for wireless networks, computers, gaming consoles and other electronics in your home or business. Models supply battery backup during outages and unsafe voltage fluctuations, as well as provide protection from damaging surges and spikes. They're available in 'tower' or 'floor' styles, and together with a variety of standard features, they are the perfect choice to protect your data and keep you connected.
Would this be a good choice for getting my hurricane shutters up in the event of a power outage?
In most cases, I would not recommend this product for that application. There are far too many variables in terms of power consumption and compatibility with whatever type of hurricane shutters you may have. I would recommend talking to a professional installer to get options.
