But she could just run those in Chrome on a laptop right? She's 13. So I guess I'd like to get her something useful for her school work and such. I think I'm leaning laptop. But I don't want to miss something big. The extra $100 or so is negligible.
Thanks for this, as well as the post by AI. I'll probably bump up to the Charge 3 over the UE since I've had good experience with JBL and it's done well in head to head tests.
I'm looking at stoves too! What'd you get? You have free standing or slide in?I bought a new stove. Yay!!!
Yeah she'll be able to do anything on a laptop that she would a Chromebook. Like I said, she probably wanted the latter because she equates it with being light/thin and knows it's a much cheaper option than something like a Macbook Air.
Got the Kindle today, sideloaded Google Play with absolutely zero issues, and it streamed WWE Network for me like a champ. Very happy with it.
I love Amazon but the Dash concept doesn't make sense for me either. I could see if it resulted in some kind of significant savings but unless I'm wrong you get the same price as everyone else on Amazon. I'm basically paying for the privilege of forced brand loyalty and never taking advantage of sales at other stores. They should be paying me to have these dash things around my house or at least be free.
The problem with low-end Windows laptops is that they tend to run pretty slow. My son's Chromebook has limited functionality but what it does, it does very efficiently. Mrs. Eephus' Lenovo Yoga thing sputters through most Windows tasks and is always updating itself.RUSF18 said:
Also tried this, so hopefully I get a $5 credit on my Amex, which gets me the Roku Stick for $15.
ETA: pretty sure you have to be a new Sling customer.

Thanks. I saw they had a Folgers button, but they don't have the coffee we drink as one of the products. They had a Diet Coke button, but it was only for aluminum bottles.RUSF18 said:

Try direct from Samsung. I know I get some sort of extra discount through my employer - but here's what I'm showing on the Samsung.com website currently:
Thx. I really wanted the 70 inch uhd 4k.
Still researching the AVR. Leaning towards a Marantz NR1606 which seems to have a crisp/clean sound and is loaded with all the latest features.
Can't go wrong with Marantz IMO, big fan of both Denon and Marantz. Only thing on that one is it's a bit light on the power, not a huge deal though.
yeah, i'm not a huge fan of mine. i liked the box i had more - responsive, quick - than the stick.
Got anything else that you bought that I can click on so I don't keep seeing that ####### Poop Deck ad on my FB feed?Well I keep buying #### I don't need.
it's legos, but with fighting and an unlimited world to create or manipulate. what's not to get- pretty brilliant.
i think it loads more slowly than the box. Netflix especially is slower. The interface is also different than the box slightly.We've got a Roku stick and it seems to work fine for us.

So, the guy who buys Tommy Bahama shirts is now the expert on efficiently allocating financial resources?
$274 on a Roomba for a household that has two dogs that shed A LOT will be a huge time saver. Money well spent.
I've heard the name, but never seen the product... just googled it.
... you get a free bowl of soup with that stuff?
