Great Board & Easy Way to Get Around

5

I absolutely love my BoostedBoard. Having friends who also own them makes it even more of a blast to share this great piece of technology with. The board can go up to 22mph and roughly 7miles on a full charge. I personally like using it to ride around my neighborhood and make quick trips to the store to pick up light items. It is such a fun way to get around!

Excellent Board - Fast Shipping

5

It seems like everyone says this but the Boosted Board really is incredible. I had high expectations for the board but when I got on it I was so impressed. It zooms right up hills from a complete stop which defies logic and it carves hills better than any other board I have owned or ridden. I received it from Best Buy in just a few days and I am 100% happy so far. It is expensive but you have to have fun sometimes. As an FYI - Boosted is coming out with an Extended Range Battery that can be preordered from Boosted. The battery is user replaceable and can be preordered half price right now ($200). I just reserved the extended range battery because I can already tell I am going to put a lot of miles on this thing. Also, when I ordered it shipped via UPS and required a signature upon delivery - this may seem obvious but I thought I'd mention in case you want to have it delivered to work or an alternate address in case you are not typically home. BUY IT, Wear a Helmet and Have Fun!

BEST console for college student

5

As a college student living in dorms, moving frequently, and not having much space, the Nintendo Switch is perfect. I can be playing on the TV, roommate comes in, undock switch, right back to playing on the couch. The flexibility is great. Don't have to worry about space, thing is small and portable as a tablet. Just amazing!

Great noise cancelling headphones

These are amazing headphones. They connect wirelessly which I love for the gym. I don’t have to carry my phone in my pocket. The quality is amazing and I like the white and gold contrast.

Excellent overall experience

I upgraded from my beats x to the beats studio 3 wireless headphones because I discovered I prefer the over the ear sound and wanted noise canceling. I could not the happier.
The W1 chip made the wireless hookup fast and very easy. The sound experience was excellent and better than I expected. The weight of the headphones was very light to the point I forgot I had them on.
Overall, an excellent purchase and so happy I changed. Highly recommend.

Great Experience so far

5

This is such an amazing laptop. I was shopping for a laptop for college and was shooting for the surface pro, but it was discontinued, so I began looking, did my research and decided on this one! I have always loved the durability and despite the thinness and fragile/premium looking design, it works great! As a college student, specs were important to look at, and with the given details, its perfect for college.

School: I've been using it to take notes, watch Netflix in my free-time, and I edit videos and host a website.

Performance: The SSD is definitely a plus, as it greatly helps speed it up. The 8th gen intel processor is also a really nice upgrade, helping the battery life a little more than the older lenovo yogas

Comfort: Being well known for their keyboards, I was not dissapointed. As it is a lot smaller you sacrifice some key travel but its still got a punchy key press feel which I love, not like the tiny clicks of the macbooks. Also, the heat/cooling on this is a LOT nicer than other laptops Ive had that gets a little warm under some stress but it doesn't cook your legs

Durability: Like I said, built pretty well, I like the simple silver look, (my preference) Take care of if and it should last you a really long time

Recommendations: Get a stylus. Its not required and while some staff may try to push for accessories, this can be important for notetaking and has been really useful for me Get a protective case, while it is durable, its always a good idea to get a case. I have a 13 inch macbook case and it fits great. If you can, try on any cases on the display model to make sure it fits.

So much value for the money!

5

I am very happy with this projector! This projector provides amazing clarity on the screen. It is also small and lightweight, so it's perfect for travel. Because the bulb is LED, the projector does not get hot to touch; there is no need to let it cool down before packing it away. The projector also has a "Keystone" adjustment button, which eliminates distortion of the image when the device is tilted up. For the price, it offers great value!

Great Projector

5

This little projector is awesome! Great video quality and the sound quality is much better than expected. Simple to operate and setup. Only thing to make it better would be 2 hdmi ports, instead of one. But it does come with an adapter to connect a phone or tablet to it for traveling.

Best tablet I've ever owned

5

Currently typing this on the keyboard(case) for my Tab S3, this tablet is great. I've been using it for about a week now and I'm impressed, The display is great, awesome color and viewing angles. The Speakers work well, good sound, and louder than the speakers on the two tablets I've owned before. The software is well thought out, split screen, built in bluelight filter, built in secure folder, built in quick menu, etc.. all make it easy to use. The battery is phenomenal, even when playing video, it lasts and lasts. The keyboard is similiar to a netbook or other tablets I've owned and works well.The case is magnetic which makes it easy for attaching the tablet as well as keeping it steady while you're typing. Finally the S pen is the closest to writing with a real pen that you'll get on a tablet, the feel and onscreen response is spectacular. The glass (Gorilla glass 5 on front and back) is a fingerprint magnet, but the construction feels sturdy. It is on the pricier side, but it's a topnotch tablet.

Great tablet for both the layman and the super use

5

This tablet runs all apps I've tried very smoothly from note taking (it's primary purpose) to HD resolution video via Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. I also use it to read ebooks and academic papers and it has never let me down for this purpose! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a college-worthy tablet at a great price point. The S-pen that is included has allowed me to phase paper out of my life and I've never been more organized!
