Better than I expected!

When I first heard about "Creed", I figured that it would just be the next in the Rocky series, which is getting a little long in the tooth. But, I watched it anyway, and was pleasantly surprised! The story is good, and Stallone plays the role of lovable ex-champ perfectly. Michael Jordan does an excellent job as Creed. This looks like the start of a new direction for the franchise, with Creed taking the baton from Rocky. If you are a fan of the Rocky movies, you'll really like this!

Probably the best mouse around
on September 26, 2016
Posted by: BobinVA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mouse at the enthusiastic recommendation of a friend. After using it for a while, I have to agree with his excitement about it. It's got a great shape that fits the hand just right. The scroll wheel is smooth and feels very professional. It also has some unique features that put this mouse ahead of others:
- The scroll wheel can switch to a "free spinning" mode that allows pages to flay past you very quickly.
- There's an additional thumb scroll wheel for scrolling left and right on wide pages
-It has a rechargeable battery that lasts a long time and can be recharged while you use it.
- It can connect using bluetooth or traditional RF
- It can retain settings for 3 different computers, and you can switch between then just by flipping a switch. This means you can have one profile for bluetooth setup, one for the traditional universal receiver on the same computer. If you move the receiver to another computer, I'm not sure why you'd need a third setting, but I suppose it could be for connecting with another device using bluetooth as well. Very cool!
- It has an additional thumb button that can be programmed to work together with gestures (moving the mouse) to do a particular task. I use mine for changing the zoom on web pages.
-It works on just about any surface and moves very smoothly.
In short, this is a fantastic mouse. I can't believe I spent this much for a mouse, but I sure do enjoy using it!

View files or videos in custom positions with this HP Envy x360 laptop. The hinge lets you lay the computer flat, fold it for use as a tablet or prop the screen at angles to enhance your viewing experience. When you aren't streaming videos on this HP Envy x360 laptop, convert it to a traditional position for standard keyboarding action.

Loving it so far!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this computer about a month ago to replace an older HP laptop whose hard drive had died. I wanted to get an inexpensive laptop, but didn't want to go too cheap. This HP Envy is a great option for a mid-tier computer. Here are my thoughts on it so far:
-Great looking screen!
-AMD processor is very good, especially when it works together with the Radeon graphics for gaming. Not high-end, but does a good job with games like Civilization: Beyond Earth, which is capable of taking advantage of AMD graphics.
-Touchpad is excellent. After the horrible, nearly unusable touchpad that I had on my HP dv6, this one is wonderful.
-Lighted keyboard is a great feature when you're trying to work in a low-light environment.
-1 TB hard drive gives plenty of space, and it's fast, too.
-Very thin and well built--gives a feeling of confidence in its build quality
-Battery life is good (4-5 hours or so), but not outstanding. Still, this is a lot better than the 2 hours I got with my old PC.
-Stays cool, even after hours of usage, and the fan is very quiet.
-2 in 1 options are good to have, but I will pretty much just use it in regular laptop mode.
-Touchscreen is a cool novelty, or a necessity if you use it in tablet mode, but otherwise it's not very useful.
-B & O sound is excellent! Again, such an improvement over the old dv6.
-Numeric keypad is nice to have.
In short, I think this laptop is a really good value for an above-average performer. It sits at the low end of the the better computers that HP makes, and you can really feel the difference in build quality over their entry-level lines. This is a way to get good quality without breaking the bank.

A surprising gem!

Having a vague idea of the WWII effort to crack the German Enigma machine, I figured this would be interesting, but it surpassed my expectations. As a math geek, I found it fascinating to follow the story of what it took to crack it. The performances are stellar, and Cumberbatch was excellent! The movie is so well done, it's just fun to watch!

Best boxed set of the Dark Knight trilogy
on January 16, 2015
Posted by: BobinVA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Previously, I bought the smaller boxed set that came with a small booklet. I thought that was a good deal at $35, and it was. But then this set went on sale for $50 (I think they closed it out) and it was an even better deal! For fans of this trilogy, there is no better set you can purchase. The art prints are wonderful, and the toy vehicles are a nice touch. Oh yeah, the movies are good too!

I've been looking for a good deal on this movie for a long time, and Best Buy has it! This is a fun Tim Burton classic that is even better on Blu Ray! Do yourself a favor and pick this up for the holidays!

Create, learn, work, and play like never before. Featuring an immersive 9.7-inch Multi-Touch Retina display,¹ powerful A10 Fusion chip, and now supports Apple Pencil,² there's nothing else quite like iPad.
 

Can I buy this without service to a wireless carrier for the same price?

The WiFi only model for $329 does not include cellular service with a wireless carrier, and is the cheapest price available (other than sales).

Enjoy up to 10 hours of wireless audio with these Sony noise-canceling headphones. They produce rich sound by playing at audio frequencies of 3-40,000Hz and have a closed-back design that blocks outside noise for a better listening experience. These Sony noise-canceling headphones sit comfortably behind the neck and work with or without the 1m wire.
 

Can you mute while on a call. I want to take some conference calls on my way to work and need to mute myself. Is there a way to mute while on the call from the headphone. I know i can always mute from the phone. Thanks.

Yes, you can mute by pushing the volume up and down buttons simultaneously, but that's a little tricky, so it might be easier to mute from the phone.

Type on your terms with Keys-To-Go, the super-slim, super-light Bluetooth keyboard for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV that fits anywhere and goes everywhere. The durable, spill-proof Keys-To-Go helps you escape the cramped on-screen keyboard and turn any space into a workspace whether you’re in the backyard, the kitchen, or the park. Keys-To-Go has comfortable, soft keys that type silently so you and people around you can focus without distractions. Plus, a full row of iOS shortcut keys provide one-tap access to your most-used functions including volume and media controls.
 

Is this compatible with an iPad pro

Yes, but don't expect it to take the place of the Apple Smart Keyboard. This is a great keyboard, but it will connect via blue tooth, not using the new smart connector.

have msata ssd socket inside ?

I'm not sure about what's inside, as this laptop really isn't built to make it easy to open up. It's quite thin, so I doubt there's an extra slot in there. Sorry that I don't know for sure.
