This laptop is dependent on what you need/use it for. The memory of course isn't large at all, which is stated in the features. I've deleted a lot of things off if it and there's still not enough room to update Windows 10 which is requiring 8GB. However, I am still able to surf the internet, use Microsoft Word, and download a few other things like the antivirus protection that came with it for 6 months. In my opinion if you need something mainly for internet or maybe typing up papers and saving to a flash drive, and you're on a budget, this laptop is fine. But, if you have to download a lot of content this is definitely not the computer for you. Although I wasn't able to update Windows 10, it seems to working fine thus far. I gave it a 3 because it is very average/basic, however if that's what you're lookig for then it would technically be a 5. The battery life is decent, resolution is fine, and I've had it for 7 months and it's still working.

So with this product I was able to plug it in an outlet and then from the outlet to the modem. It’s comes with 2, so the other one was plugged in another outlet and connected to my camera system. This enables me to view my cameras (my system is wired, not wireless) on my phone when I’m away from home. My only complaint is ever so often I’m not able to view from my phone, so I have to unplug one and resync it to the other. I’m not sure why they stop communicating with each other. It’s fine if you come home everyday, but in the event you were out of town it would pose a problem. It’s very random so I can’t say it happens every week. A more accurate account would be at least once or twice a month.

Charge your devices anywhere with this 10,400 mAh mophie Power Boost XL power bank. The LED indicator shows you the unit's power level, and you can use the included USB cable with your laptop or wall outlet adapter when the power bank needs a recharge. This purple mophie Power Boost XL power bank outputs at 1 amp for consistency.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This little device is really handy, especially if you find yourself in places where outlets are limited such as airports, plane rides, a college student, etc. I can usually charge it once a week and it last all week, but of course that would depend on usage. In my opinion it also charges my phone really fast. It’s not the lightest little gadget, but I guess to supply as much power as it does it has to weigh a little bit more. Overall I’m pleased with the product and would definitely purchase again.

These are basic corded earbuds. They do the job for a flight or if you’re a walker. They could possibly work for runners or joggers, but the preference is probably wireless. I will say although they come with different size cushions, my ears are too small for all of them so I wear my buds without the cushion.

This is a simple small smart tv. It connects to the internet and runs apps like Hulu and Netflix. I have no complaints. It’s something nice and simple for a child’s room or office.

What’s Your Need

I have a smart tv that is several years old. Like when they first came out. I don’t have cable so all my televisions require an antenna. They show perfectly. You just screw it on the back and let it be. It wasn’t complicated to put together. I think literally only one step, not like some others I’ve bought that are a bit of a hassle to out together. It was reasonably priced and it does what I need it to do.

These get the basic job done. I use these when in public and on the phone. I don’t use them everyday so with light to moderate use so far they have half up. Nothing fancy. Not wireless. Just simple earbuds for listening to music or talking on the phone.

I have a few things plugged into this protector. Tv, Xbox, wii, and some other things. We've had multiple surges and all the electronics are still working. This product also came with a great warranty so you had piece of mind. I recommend always having a surge protector for your expensive electronics.

I bought this protection for my new tv. Fortunately the tv never broke so I didn't have to use it. I think for super expensive purchases you might want to go this route, but otherwise I would pass. Most new items come with one or two year warranties anyways.

I just want a computer for school work. I would only be writing essays and doing online homeworks. Would this computer be good for that? And also, how long did this last for you guys? I don't want to have to buy another laptop in 1 year or so.

If you just need it to do online homework and write essays, then I would say this is a good fit, as long as you have a flash drive to save your essays to. The memory is very small so you will definitely need the flash drive. The internet works fine in my opinion to do online assignments. I've had mine for 7 months, however I don't use it every day, but so far it seems to still be working properly. I was able to complete online homework assignments as well.
