Features 4.0 Performance 4.0 Value 5.0
I love my new Mac (previous PC) user. I was worried about the switch, but I have to say with a little poking around and some google-ing I don't see why anyone should miss out. Really solid, good quality, worth every penny.

Excellent display

I had an iPad 2 and the iPad 4 with retina display is by far better. The screen is clearer, the photos are sharp and beautiful and it's fast.

I was never really a big Star Trek fan, I really enjoyed watching this movie. You need no previous knowlage of Star Trek to enjoy this movie. JJ Abrams does the near impossible, making everyone love Star Trek.

What a disappointment

Gameplay 1.5 Graphics 4.5 Sound 3.5
The most beautiful and graphically rich Civ ever is the most boring and tiresome to play. So many features have been removed or dumbed down from the late, great Civ IV it's hard to know where to start. Gone are religions, espionage, tech trading, stacking, city defenses, spending sliders, and more. The unique powers of leaders and wonders have been watered down. New are all manner of boring and annoying features like AI-governed mini-civs called city-states, buying tiles to expand city zones and hexagon-shaped tiles. Back to Civ IV.

Great TV

Features 4.5 Performance 5.0 Value 4.5
Excellent design. I like the styling of this TV better than some of the older TOC models. Also the ultra slim design using the ultra slim Samsung mount keeps it very flush to the wall.

I love this place! All the good things that folks are talking about are true. I would definitely come back. I love how clean it is, the breakfast buffet, the giraffe theme, the toiletries, and the fact that it is affordable for NYC.

Food 5.0 Atmosphere 4.0 Service 4.0 Pricing 4.0
This is the spot to take friends, new and old, family, or anyone else you can think of. The food is absolutely amazing, the service is always spectacular, and did you see the giant cupcakes as you walk in the door?? This place is not to be confused with your average panini or deli shop. Each sandwich, crostini, and soup (amoung others like their meat and cheese plates) are such impeccable masterpieces that you won't want to leave. The portions are perfect. I haven't left once without leftovers.

Great room and stay at Encore

Service 4.5 Location 4.5 Pricing 2.5
The rooms are spacious (I'd say approx. 650 sq. ft) with expansive windows, remote controlled drapes, and a twirling flat screen TV so you can watch in the livingroom or your bedroom. Even the bathroom is huge. The bed is super soft and comfy. And don't even get me started on the buffet. There are food stations representing every corner of the world. I absolutely loved my stay here.
