Amazing signal and security settings
on February 7, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this router package after a number of issues with the standard router-type. Getting a straight-line signal to cover my entire apartment was nearly impossible.
I'd reviewed higher-power routers to see if the signal would cover the apartment, but do to how routers send signals, and the angles in my place, it still wouldn't cover the house.
Then I came across the new "mesh" coverage technology. I discussed these with Best Buy staff to better understand how they function, and decided to try them out. I couldn't be happier. I came home and setup all three and haven't had a coverage issue since.
While the signal quality is top notch, I'm even more impressed by the granularity of control over each device, device permissions, and parental controls. I couldn't be happier with the quality of this product!

3-way device connection is a winner

Yes, Apple's mice are good. They work well, the battery lasts a long time. The big reason I shifted to this mouse was 3-fold.
1. This mouse can pair with three different devices. Switching between them is incredibly simple and fast.
2. Comfort. The Main Mouse lies too flat for me to use comfortably. The arch in the top of this mouse fits my hand very very well and can be used all day without fatigue.
3. Customizable buttons and gestures. There are a plethora of buttons on this mouse! Each can easily by customized using the Logitech software to reduce fatigue and expedite workflows.

This Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV is slim enough to place or mount in most areas. Android TV offers more entertainment options, and Sony's 4K processor X1 generates a wider brightness range than typical LED TVs. Use a smartphone to quickly find information and search by voice command on this Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV.

Amazing picture and a great home page

I own a Sony 65" 4K tv that does NOT have HDR. After buying my 4K Blu-Ray player I wanted a HDR TV as well. When comparing Sony and Samsung they match in nearly every technical spec. Here were the two main differences:
1. The Sony was on sale for roughly $400 less than the Samsung.
2. Samsung runs its own proprietary App Store. Sony uses the Google Play Store.
2. Samsung runs its own proprietary App Store. Sony uses the Google Play Store.
#2 was the big difference for me. Investing in a TV at this cost isn't a small decision, and I didn't want my hands to be tied with the limitations of Samsung's private App Store. I'm more than pleased with the purchase.

Worry less about your iPhone 7 Plus' safety with this Speck case. The clear material lets you enjoy your phone's original design, and smooth edges hug your device and guard your ports. The raised bezel wards off damage to your screen, while the dual-layer construction of this Speck case offers protection from drops of up to 8 feet.

A good case with a comfortable cut
on February 7, 2017
Posted by: robw
Verified Purchase:Yes
As mentioned in my review of the Tech21 Evo case, I hold the phone with one hand and type, or I hold it with two hands with my left pinky extended to support the base of the phone. The Tech21 cutouts at the bottom left my finger hurting, so I tested out and purchased the Speck case. Speck doens't have as many cutouts at the bottom, so the base of the case didn't bother my finger.
This is a good, simple, minimalist case. My only complaint is how slick it is. In my car I use magnets to mount this to Mophie vent mount. Where 1 magnet behind the phone (but inside the case) usually does the trick, I had to use two magnets in this case because of how slick the back is.

Keep your iPhone 7 Plus or 8 Plus free of scratches with this Tech21 Evo Tactical case. Its tough design guards against shock damage during drops of up to 9.9 feet without impacting signal reception or Wi-Fi speed. Durable and lightweight, this Tech21 Evo Tactical case brings minimal bulk to your bag or pocket.

Nice slim case but uncomfortable on my hand
on February 7, 2017
Posted by: robw
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tech21 makes great products. They adequately protect the device, they're slim and stylish. Simple is the name of the game for me.
I owned this case for a week, but found it very uncomfortable, in particular on my left pinky. I'm the guy that either types with one hand using the Google keyboard on my iPhone, or I hold the device with two hands, the pinky of the left hand extended to support the bottom of the phone. The cut of the case at the bottom left some edges that were uncomfortable at the end of a full day of use.
While this is a good buy, it just didn't work for my device handling technique.

Protection but it is far, far too large
on February 7, 2017
Posted by: robw
Verified Purchase:Yes
The review summary says it all. If you want massive drop protection, this is a top-of-the-line case, but I simply couldn't stand the ridiculous amount of bulk to achieve that level of safety. I work indoors on a computer for a job, so only require minimal protection.
If you're a construction worker, linesman, or another profession that has you out amongst the elements with an increased likely hood of the phone being dropped, then it's likely a good contender for you.

Versatility and a good brew
on February 7, 2017
Posted by: robw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a coffee snob, admittedly. I was looking to replace my Bunn drip brewer for something that would give me the versatility to create espresso-like drinks as well.
I'm well aware that you can't create TRUE lattes or cappuccinos using this because the brew method for espresso is different. If you are REALLY a snob and want lattes, don't use this machine. That being said, the versatility in cup size selection, drip brew technique, easily refilled carafe, and the Ninja name make this brewer worth the money.

Decent product, but wouldn't work in my situation
on February 7, 2017
Posted by: robw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned this item before and used it with my iPhone 6. This time around I bought an iPhone 7 Plus and had gifted my old mount to a family member. When purchasing a new one I thought I would be happy with it, but it just didn't have the magnetic strength, or enough suction power, to stay mounted and hold a larger phone.
I recommend this product for devices the size of the iPhone 7 or smaller/lighter, but not for a Plus size device.

Tried it and returned it

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wondered if the Surface Pro could stack up against the iPad Pro or a Macbook Pro so I purchased one. I can't give this a fair review, because I confirmed that I hate Windows so I didn't really do too much with it.
That being said, the form factor, keyboard, and pencil/stylus are more than adequate. If this ran Mac OS I'd likely have kept it.

PC?
I prefer white keyboards because the letters are easier to see than on a black keyboard at least for me. I know they make a similar keyboard for PC's in black but I seem to remember reading somewhere that someone tried this Mac keyboard and other Mac keyboards on PC's and they work. Has anyone tried this one on a PC? Thanks.

can the speakers be used vertically?
I have a narrow space on either space of TV. can the speakers be placed vertically and if yes will that affect the sound quality (in manual it says "for Stereo everywhere performance, need to mount horizontally" but not sure what that means. thanks.

wattage rating compatibility
can these Bose 161's be used as the only speakers (yes, just 2 speakers for now) with a 140-w per channel receiver? will the 40-w rating difference between receiver and these speakers be too much? will I blow the speakers?
Yes. My receiver outputs 160w per channel. You won't blow them unless you crank the music. The wattage you're seeing on the speakers is what they draw from the source, not their limitation. Essentially, they require 100w, but the receiver is smart enough to avoid over-powering them. You can always run lower power speakers on a higher watt receiver; you cannot do the opposite.
I wouldn't advise these as standalone fronts as they don't produce low frequencies well.
