Total Tech Support When You Need Help

Technology

Post-holiday support for your tech gifts

If you love tech as much as I do, but don't consider yourself a computer whiz, you are not alone. Like many consumers, there are plenty of us (present company included) who enjoy the benefits of using tech products every day, but just aren't that confident when it comes to setting up, installing, maintaining, or repairing all our smart gear. That's where the Geek Squad at Best Buy and their Total Tech Support services can help you and me to set up and start enjoying those tech holiday gifts that are so central to the connected lifestyles we live.

What is Best Buy Total Tech Support?

Total Tech Support from Best Buy is a membership service focused on supporting all the tech products in your home whenever they were bought and whether they were purchased at Best Buy or anywhere else.

There are many in-home services to take advantage of affordably priced at $49.99. They also offer 20% repair savings and Geek Squad Protection and AppleCare Products protection plans. The best part is that support is there when you need it, easy to use, and is available in-store during regular operating hours as well as 24/7 via phone or online chat.

IT Support on Demand When You Need It

As a self-employed business owner working at home, I don't have the luxury of having an IT expert on site to troubleshoot for me when my computer crashes or deal with technical difficulties that are beyond what I'm able to understand or fix myself. So it's reassuring to know that a host of computing tech support services are available which I can tap into so I can focus instead on meeting my constant deadlines.

Just imagine. It's like having a virtual tech support person on staff whenever you need help with things such as basic data transfer, data backup, computer setup, computer tune up, and virus removal. A one year internet security software subscription is also part of this comprehensive Total Tech Support membership package.

This is also great for every day modern family living. I just bought my first DSLR camera at Best Buy and could really use some assistance with it. There are also many other ways Total Tech Support can support you with everything from home Wi-Fi or voice assistant setup to installation of your new big screen television and so much more -- all services just $49.99 each with Total Tech Support membership.

Total Tech Support For the Way You Live

• 24/7 tech support no matter when/where products were purchased

CES Unveiled 2019 New Consumer Tech

Technology

Family Friendly Tech Well Represented This Year

Having been to dozens of CES and its predecessor conferences since the early 1980s, I'm really missing covering CES 2019 in Las Vegas as an influencer IRL this year because of a schedule conflict. However, I'm glad to still reporting major happenings from the show remotely. That way, those of you who are as crazy about cutting edge consumer electronics as I am, won't miss any of this year's conference excitement. 

Check out all the cool gadgets and technologies which were shown at the press only CES Unveiled 2019 preview event last night attended by more than 1,500 media pros. There's definitely a huge deluge of buzz about what's new already!

Then, stay tuned as MBE continues to bring you the latest thrilling news and emerging trends January 8-11 from the world's largest consumer tech conference: CES 2019. We'll have updates for you from show floor exhibitors and from the daily media press conferences. I also hope to be sharing news bits from some of my fellow tech influencers who are in Las Vegas now, covering the show.

I really wish I was in town now, not only to geek out and hang with some of my good friends who I usually only get to see a few times per year. I also miss watching the Bellagio Dancing Fountains, a beautiful continuous outdoor water dance show set to music and light every night at The Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Watch this short video I shot a few years back during the conference to see how pretty this is.

Bananas Toys Kids Fun Collectibles Review

Toys

MBE partnered with Bananas Toys for this story, post contains affiliate links

Kids are going bananas over the latest children's playtime craze. It's a fun new collectible line featuring adorably sized, cheerfully colored toy Bananas™ which smell like the real tropical fruit and come in six brilliant neon colors including banana yellow, as well as blue, purple, pink, green and orange. 

Each toy banana is a surprise just waiting for girls and boys to peel open, as MBE's kid reviewers Abbie and Naomi show you in this review. Inside, youngsters will discover one of 24 sweet surprise Crushie characters along with the cutest little accessories to make it their own.

"These Bananas are too cute," Abbie points out. "The way they're designed with a key chain ring you can even hang them on your backpack and bring them wherever you go to trade with friends. When I peeled open my first toy, I was so happy to get the Ofia Owl Crushie because I love owls. I really like the other little things this came with, too, especially the sticker gems that I can use to decorate my squeezeable character."

Adds younger sister Naomi, "Bananas are just adorable. My favorite color is pink, so I chose a pink banana toy to open first and found the Eddie Goat character along with a mini squishy apple, acorn and other accessories. They're so fun, when you sniff them they really do smell like actual bananas. And the best part is you can store everything that came with it inside the banana and repeel again when you want to play with it." 

Each surprise Bananas toy includes

• 1 Crushie character
• 2 Mini squeezable friends
• Gemstone stickers to decorate the Crushie and/or Banana
• Collector sheet with character sticker
• A hanging vine for displaying the toy
• Collector's Guide
• The resealable Banana doubles as storage

What makes this really an exciting experience for kids is you never know what they'll find hidden inside in these Bananas. All the Crushie characters are so cute, fun to open, and collect. But your child will be feel particularly lucky if -- like Naomi -- she gets Pipo Panda or one of the other rare Crushies which also include Princess Pi, Andrew Monkey, and Lucy Leopard. And, they will really squeal with delight if  they find the single most ultra-rare Crushie character of all: Gail Giraffe.

More About Bananas
