Easy replacement - Works great
The original had a burning chip on it. Purchased this one and the replacement was fairly easy. Windows 10 on the original hard drive activated automatically and now the laptop is working great again.

Better used than generic - revived my ailing Mac
My original battery had swollen inside my case and I thought that it had caused significant damage. I removed the battery and repaired the case and when I had to replace the battery I figured that a generic battery would be better than getting a used on because it was just as old as the one that I was replacing. When I installed the battery my MacBook Pro ran extremely hot and would shut down after about 10-15 minutes. I never once associated this problem with the battery; I was looking at replacement motherboards, assuming that the damage was caused by the original swollen battery. I was going to salvage the laptop then all of the sudden the generic battery stopped charging and I bought this one, I had to do the SMC reset to get it to charge but afterwards all of the problems that I had been having went away - the laptop runs cool, no shutdowns, problem solved.
About the battery. My battery has 90% life and after one charge I used the laptop for five hours before I charged it again. As far as I am concerned it is a new battery. Kudos to doubledexmacbooks who is the seller.
Nyne Bass Sport Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Sounds Good - Large, Heavy and Questionable Portability
I got this refurbished and at a very reasonable price. My initial thinking was that I could get this and sell my UE Megaboom but as soon as I opened the box I realized that these speakers are intended for very different purposes. I was looking to replace the UE Megaboom because its sound is very dependent on placement - it needs to be up against a wall or in a small room or else it loses the fullness of the sound. The Nyne Bass is very bassy but lacks some clarity in the mid and high tones. I am assuming the bass is due to its wooden end caps which makes this a rather heavy and somewhat awkward speaker to casually tote around. On that note, I am forced to keep the UE Megaboom for instances where I'm not sure if I will be pulling my speaker out and the Nyne Bass for instances where I will "definitely" be using the speaker. The UE Megaboom sounds better when it is against a wall but the Nyne Bass sounds better in open space.
