It’s a beautiful laptop too; I love the color of it, it always makes me feel so chic. The touch screen feature is an added bonus, and ditch your stickers because this laptop has a slider that you can literally slide it over to hide your camera lens. I would recommend this laptop 10/10 to anyone.”

“If you’re looking for a robot vacuum cleaner, run to get this one!” raving about a self-proclaimed iRobot “believer.” “With the dry weather here, my floors looked dusty and dirty every day. After using this for the past six weeks, I can’t believe the difference in our house! The best part is that the vacuum empties itself after every cleaning – no messy emptying into the bin. With its smart technology, the robot maps my home and avoids obstacles. I can easily control it from my phone, which is one of my favorite features.”
