I haven’t been to the Mall of America in years. I need to plan a trip to MN just so I can go revisit that awesome mall. I love the idea of being able to test the latest home tech in a home-like environment.
Having a tech home sounds wonderful, I would love to have a more techy home for sure!
Testing out tech is one of my favorite ways to discover if it is a Hit Or A Miss. Your tech Home trip to test out sounds like you had plenty of tech testing and opportunities. What fun.
Such a great post about testing out new gadgets! A really fun way to spice up your home.
This sounds like a really cool exhibit at Mall of America! I am always interested in the latest and greatest tech!
I’ve never been to Mall of America. As a tech freak, I wish I were closer, or they came closer for this! lol. Great post!
We love Best Buy. Our home is pretty techie. My husband and I like to make sure we have all the gadgets for our house.
This is all so confusing for me…most likely because I’m not very patient with technology! My husband deals with all of it, and we have a pretty good system going on here 😉
This sounds like a great Tech Home exhibit for sure. I would love to have some of these products in my home. This post I will have to share with my sister who live fairly close to Mall of America. Thanks for sharing sharing the information.
I’m headed over to check out Best Buy Tech Home. I buy quite a few home appliances from Best Buy so I know I’ll love these products.
I could always use a new Smart TV. (wink!) I think Best Buy is the place to go for electronics and home appliances. They do have the best prices.
I love how technology has improved how much Best Buy helps out our homes. This would be fun to check out at Mall of America.
They really make it all easy don’t they? I really don’t see anything bad at all with all of these digital/electronics stuff, and I’m awed by the brands you can find in this. Anything with Sony, Samsung and even Netgear makes me giddy.
I love the mall of America! It’s been a few years since I’ve been!! This system however sounds pretty sweet! I need it in my home
Technology is amazing! I can’t believe all of the cool gadgets out there that can make life a little easier
Love all the new advances with technology!
We are upgrading our current system to include a doorbell camera. Then we can sit on the sofa and use of our phones to see who’s at the door!
Oh how times have changed eh!
I only shopped once at Best Buy and I must say their selection is awesome. There’s no Mall of America here, I wish there’s one.
