Don't need Access so this worked perfectly. Of course, if you don't use Office, you probably don't work for a US company! It is the de facto standard and this version is a bit more affordable if you don't need the added programs.

I only buy Mophie chargers!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Don't bother with any other chargers- saving a few bucks won't be worth it when the charger either dies or ruins our phone. I have been buying Mophie's for years- both the case batteries and the external batteries and they always last forever and do an incredible job.

Just needed a replacement video card and this works brilliantly. Dual monitor support was needed and this does the job! Don't need a card that requires a power supply upgrade so this worked nicely.

Great quality DVD player

Posted by: glgcag
from Burbank, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not sure that there will ever be a 4K DVD, but if there is, yay! Otherwise, if you have a 4k TV, definitely get this DVD player so that your DVD quality is better due to the upsampling. Don't expect a BluRay to be true 4k (there isn't 4k quality in a BluRay) but it handles the discs better than a standard DVD player.

Great game, definitely improved over past versions. Since this is my first Assassin's Creed on the Xbox One, what blew me away the most was the quality of the graphics. Definitely worth it!

Good but not great
on October 10, 2014
Posted by: glgcag
from Burbank, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
As noise cancelling headphones go, these are nice. I have a pair of the Sennheiser PXC-450's and I like them a little better. Bose, to my understanding, designs the sound of their products for a female ear, so keep that in mind.
As far as noise cancelling goes, I'm becoming less infatuated with it. The headphones require batteries and that is due to the headphones pushing sound frequencies that cancel noise (though not completely). So if you expect to have silence by just putting the headphones on, you will be disappointed. Also, the cancelling frequencies effect the audio quality of the music you are playing. So, if you play the same music with noise cancelling on and then with it off, you will notice difference.
I would try the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H6 if you want regular headphones that rival noise cancelling headphones. They are $400 but as far as sound goes, hard to beat. And, because the phones actually create a good seal around your ears, you will notice that they can be quieter than noise cancelling headphones in certain situations. And, audio quality is superior.

Average hard drive, nothing special
on September 2, 2014
Posted by: glgcag
from Burbank, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're not looking to speed anything up but just need an average hard drive, this will do. Obviously, SSD is the way to go if you want speed, but at the cost of this drive, it works nicely for an average user's laptop. Especially if they are mostly an office worker and don't need the speed of an SSD.

Best to buy Apple chargers!

Posted by: glgcag
from Burbank, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I only use Apple chargers/connectors/adapters simply because I have had power issues with iPhones and laptops when trying to use third party products. So I highly recommend getting them from Apple. Of course, they charge an arm and a leg, which stinks, but it is part of the Apple ecosystem and a necessary evil.

Mac mini as iMac replacement
on June 23, 2014
Posted by: glgcag
from Burbank, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think the Mac Mini is an awesome option that many people overlook when purchasing a Mac. The cost of a iMac is prohibitive for some people and they don't realize they can save a great deal of money by getting the Mini and buying a separate monitor for a lot less than the cost of an iMac (even less than the newly released "affordable" iMacs)!
The downside is upgradeability. Hard drive upgrades and RAM upgrades are limited. But, with all the lightning options nowadays for external monitors, hard drives and other peripherals, it still has a lot of external options to cover for the lack of internal upgrade possibilities.
All in all, you should consider the Mini if you don't have to have a laptop!

Home office 365 for Mac 5tablets or 5 computers
When it says 1or 4 year subscription what happens when the subscription expires will it still be useable or what
The software has to "phone home" periodically, when you connect to the Internet and this is how Microsoft knows if you are using their software with a valid subscription. Once it has expired, the software will no longer work. You are in essence "renting" the software with the subscription.

Does Best Buy sell a PDF to JPG converter software?
Not sure why you would want to convert a PDF to a jpg file, as PDF files are much more common and everyone can read them. But, if you must do it, try Nuance Power PDF (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/power-pdf-v-1-0-standard-mailer-complete-product-1-user-windows/6391369.p?id=1219217392323&skuId=6391369)

Can it be used with Iphone 5s?
If you can post a link to the powerstation you are looking at, I can tell you. In general, the Mophie external chargers have a USB connector on them that allows you to connect any charger that has a USB end on it. Hence, the Iphone 5s lightning charger would work.

Bose QC 15 vs. Beats Executives
I have done my homework on these two remarkable headphones. I have never used Bose before (just demoed them @ a local Best Buy). I like the QC noise cancelling, but I don't know if they will provide enough of the good low-end sounds that any music listener wants.
However, I am a frequent Beats user. I have a pair of Solo HD's. I'm not too pleased with how much overpowering bass there is. I'm always adjusting the EQ to "Bass Reducer." I like the styling of the Executives over the QC 15s, but I don't want the bass to be overpowering like other Beats products. Which one is a better value for the money, under my preferences?

My experience is that you get less bass when any headphone is in noise cancelling mode. If you put the same headphones in pass-through mode (turn off noise cancelling) you will notice an increase in bass. It is due to the noise-cancelling functionality. If you like bass, don't get the QC 15's.

Samsung UN46F7100AFXZA LED HDTV: Large enough for a living room or small home theater space, the 1080p LED screen displays movies, TV shows, streaming Web content and more in 2D or 3D. Smart Hub brings you an abundance of Internet features.
Do I need a cable box to continue to see my favotrite shows? Speaking basic channels with expanded service. We do not use HBO, other premium channels.
If you live in an area that has over-the-air signals, you can get basic channel via HD with just an antenna. I happen to live in a very mountainous region and cannot get over-the-air signals so it is not possible for me. Check out this CNET article (it's from 2011 but it gives you the basics) http://howto.cnet.com/how-to-get-free-hdtv/
I have had some friends tell me that the basic channels are actually better quality over-the-air because unlike cable and satellite, it is uncompressed HD. All-in-all nice for not costing anything monthly! Best Buy sells the antennas - definitiely worth a look because a one-time cost versus monthly cable bill is an investment worth making in my opinion. If I lived in an area that could get the signal I'd do it!
