Needed a micro SD card, and this one is fast with lots of storage. A bonus is that I can use it on several devices, and it's perfect with an adapter for other machines, too.

This works exceptionally well with the Surface Pro 3. I like the backlit keyboard, and the tactile key feeling gives me just the right feedback for keystrokes. The keyboard also hinges to give you a slight angle, which I also really like.

Office on my Surface Pro 3!
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: HDProgramFan
from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used the Office suite for years and years, and have been frustrated at upgrades. With a number of laptops and desktop computers, when Office 365 offered a 5 machine subscription with 1 Tb cloud storage for each install, plus web access to the apps as well, it was a very easy decision. If you upgrade with each new version, which if a good idea of you consult and your clients have different versions of Office, the price of the annual subscription is actually much less than 5 upgrades for the full office suite. Plus the patches are just about invisible and very much better than the old way. I really like the way this works.

very cool 3D version
on June 8, 2015
Posted by: HDProgramFan

Verified Purchase:Yes
Although I've seen the movie before, the 3D version was on sale, and I thought it might be interesting. It certainly was! Some of the images, like the holographic image of the ship, are so much better in 3D. Glad I bought it.

Perfect match for our printer needs
on May 2, 2015
Posted by: HDProgramFan
from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
We needed to replace an aging printer, so we looked over the HP multi-function models. The Officejet 5740 met all our needs, plus it has a smaller footprint than the one it's replacing, better print speed and better printer resolution. The added bonus is that it was on sale for an even better price than advertised. What's not to like about that!

Weird Audio!
on April 4, 2015
Posted by: HDProgramFan
from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is 'interesting' but the audio is so erratic we found ourselves constantly making adjustments. The 'plot' (it's actually generous to call this script a plot) is certainly not all that well developed either. I usually like SF without any reservations but this one just didn't cut it for us. I'll probably watch the special features disc just to see if I missed something, but I'm not holding my breath...

Use this intelligent adapter to connect your iPhone 5 or 5s, iPod touch (5th generation), or iPod nano (7th generation) featuring the Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories. The 0.2m-long cable provides extra length to connect to 30-pin accessories.

Just the right length

Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed to connect the in car adapter to the new iPhone 6, and the usual adapter didn't work with the new case, which has a small flap to get to the lightening connector. This is just the thing - adapter and extension on a short cable that works just fine. Problem solved!

solid construction and performance, both
on November 28, 2014

from Virginia
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 2.5" enclosure was needed to migrate a failing spinning hard drive to a new solid state drive. It was very straight forward to setup and use, and worked perfectly. The aluminum case is so much nicer than the plastic one I used last time, and I expect to put an external drive into this as a nice portable drive when on site at clients.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent picture quality, and straight-forward setup. Had planned to buy the 55" version but after prepping the wall where this screen is hanging, realized that the 65" model was better. Have watched several Blu-rays on it and am very happy with the image, contrast, black levels, speed and overall clarity of the Sony.
Internet content most enjoyed: Still exploring content!

Good cloud backup for home business

Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed a backup device for multiple computers, and wanted some to work virtually regardless of physical location - which strongly suggested a cloud solution. This seems to be a good fit, so we'll see over time if that proves right.

desk top hard replacement

do you have to replace operating system when you replaced a failed hard drive
Yes. Hope you have the original installation disks or a complete image backup. But cheer up, by the time you're done you have the latest versions of all your software with all the patches!

External SSD Hard Drive

I just finished a search of BestBuy and could not find any external SSD hard drives for a desktop PC (portable not necessary). Lots of external hard drives shown, but none show as SSD. Suggestions please?
Sure - buy an external enclosure and an SSD. Pop the drive into the enclosure, hook it up via the USB connection, and then partition/format the drive any way you need. At the moment, a 1TB SSD is the largest I know of that's commercially available, but I'm sure larger drives are coming soon.

which hard drive is best for a mac lap top?

I'm guessing from your question you want to replace an existing hard drive on your MAC. I would highly recommend using a solid state drive - they're faster and much better performing. There are a number of SSDs on the market so it's become a matter of preference. I just installed a 1TB SSD and it's awesome. Check the support web sites for the manufacturer you like, buy the drive and then follow their install instructions to the letter.
