It's the only adapter you can buy for the laptop but it is much better than a typical PC power adapter. Definitely one of several reasons to buy an Apple over a PC.

What's great about it: It's an apple product
What's not so great: Like all laptop power adapters, they cost a lot!

Nice smart TV with great quality picture

Internet Connectable?Yes
Connected to the Internet:Yes
Verified Purchase:Yes
This TV replaced an eight year old TV and it is stunning the difference. I have a 9000 Samsung in my entertainment room and the fact that I am as impressed with this little TV for my bedroom goes to show how nice it is. Thankfully I don't use the remote as it is the weakest link on the TV. I have no problems using it and I like that you can swipe it instead of using buttons, but it seems that Samsung is trying to get users into their way of doing things and it just doesn't work for non-technical people. I get endless questions about how to do things if others use the remote, so I just use a third-party remote. If you are technical and enjoy a different way of doing things (and I think it actually is a better remote), you will like the remote. But nowadays, with all the third party options, it is easy to overcome if you don't like it.
Internet content most enjoyed: Netflix, Amazon Prime

Apple external DVD drive for the design conscious

If you are a compulsively stylish person and you think that the Apple "look" is cool, this is for you. Also, if you want to pay Apple prices, this is for you. Otherwise, just get another manufacturer's drive for less!

What's great about it: Designed by Apple to match their products
What's not so great: Does Apple have to make everything so expensive?

Worked as expected, nice quality and throughput. Not a great price compared to other online vendors, but still better than Monster cable of same type.

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.

Enjoy your favorite jams with these Bose® QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® QC15 HEADP headphones that feature a TriPort® acoustic structure for balanced audio. The carrying case makes it easy to take the headphones on the go.
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.

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!
