Well its free

Well it is a free Internet Security. But so is Windows Defender. I personally do not care for 3rd party Antivirus and malware software as they function similar to malware and tend to be a drag on computer resources.

I purchased this computer for my 87 year old father. It is perfect and exceeds his needs. The monitor is beautiful and bright. He can store all his photos. It is currently also serving as a replacement for his TV. It has more than enough power for the average user.

Makes my old smart phone look like was not...
on February 23, 2018

from Central Minnesota
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first non Samsung phone in my last 5 phones and I will never look back. The screen is smooth and crystal clear, apps load exceptionally fast and are organized simply and easy to find. I have trended to watching a lot of streaming video at night before bed and this is a large high resolution image. There are a few little add on that Google has put in that my iPhone buddies wish they had. So far after a week this is a great phone. My next phone in 2 years may very well be another Pixel. The only drawback is the phone is very thin and a little slippery. I put Speck case on it and the problem is solved.

I purchased this to use as a backup image with my new gaming laptop. More than sufficient space to create a restore for my computer. There are faster but for this use and this price point you cannot go wrong.

Another top notch gaming Laptop. Except...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third MSI gaming laptop. I currently do not see any reason why I would go with a different brand at this time. However, a few things that set this apart from my last two. My first two have ZERO to near ZERO bloatware pre-installed. This one does. This is probably consistent with other new models. The model, and many new models, do not have a DVD drive installed. This is not a big deal to me as I nave not installed any programs from DVD in a number of years. The result is this laptop is a lot thinner and lighter than my other two. This may or may not lead to heat concerns by having a more closed in space. This particular build the cooling fan will start up as soon as you start a game. The laptop is not even warm. The other two I had included easy to find settings to only turn the fan on when the laptop started getting warm. Also on previous builds the Killer Network did a really good job of minimizing other programs during game play. this machine has a lot more power than i have ever had but the Killer seems to not minimize other programs anymore. Don't get me wrong. this is a GREAT computer and the graphics are simply stunning.

Great device for casting

Verified Purchase:Yes
I analyzed multiple devices for casting programming to a TV and settled on the Chromecast. A huge benefit of this device is that you can use your phone or tablet as a remote. Provided the OS is new enough. I can also cast from my laptop to my TV. I also have a ROKU and even though the perform different functions I prefer the Chromecast

Great for single users or single controller

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Chromecast Ultra is quick and easy to set up. I used an Ethernet cable from my modem and would recommend that for anyone. You can quickly and easily cast from your phone, computer or tablet direct to the chromecast. I purchased this for use with YourTube TV. There is where we discovered the drawback. I had been using it on my phone. The next day I tried to show my wife how it works using my iPad. I could not cast from the iPad until I went into my phone and cast something then stopped casting. Hence the reason for the title of this review. I found the device to be cumbersome switching between devices for casting. My Roku actually works better for Netflix and Amazon Prime as well. However, despite that drawback the device is pretty amazing.

I bought an unlocked pixel 2 XL 2 weeks ago then when I was going to buy one unlocked version for my mom Last week they told that they stop selling unlocked version. I'm just wondering why? And how long do I have to wait. Thanks

For now I believe if you want an unlocked phone you must buy it direct from Google for full price.

For the 300 dollars off with monthly instalment plan, does that 300 dollars get reimbursed if i were to pay all 24 months up front?

No it does not. There is nothing to reimburse because you have not paid it off.

it would not make sense to pay on it for 4 months and then get refunded $300 if you paid it off.

i already have verizon network. 4 lines. can avail this offer of buying this phone on monthly payment plan

Yes you can add this phone in and replace one of your lines. If the line you want to replace is not paid off you will need to pay it off first.

I just replace my phone, which is one of 4 lines, and there was zero interruption.

No it does not. this is to entice you to keep your contract for 2 years. This is on the carrier, NOT Best Buy. If you choose to pay it off early you will be charged the full original monthly payment times the number of months.

Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband: This heart rate and activity tracking wristband is built to capture your movements and health patterns all day long. Easily monitor your heart rate so you can maximize your workouts, learn about your sleep quality and monitor progress on your goals.
 

Is the LG k7 compatible with the fitbit ??

Any smartphone that uses Android, Windows OS or Apple OS should be compatible with the FitBit. Rather it is not so much of a compatibility thing as installing the FitBit app to your phone.

If you have one of these operating systems and the FitBit app is somehow not available to you then it is probably a setting with your phone carrier.

How long is manufacturers warranty?

FitBit offers a one year manufacturers warranty

However, Best Buy does offer an accidental damage plan that I would strongly suggest.

Why do you not carry the XL size Charge HR Activity Tracker?

I see your question was posted 9 months ago. Since then Fitbit does not list devices as just small, medium, large etc.. but rather by maximum write size. Which in my mind makes a lot more sense.
When you click on the product it will show you currently available options for max wrist size.

They currently do carry the Charge 2 HR in small and large or wrist size up to 6.7 and 8.1 which according to FitBit are Large an Xl which I will bring to the moderators attention.
