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

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

Upgrade your computer without assistance or confusion. Mounts your 2.5" solid state drive into a 3.5" drive bay desktop computer using screwdriver. This adapter bracket made of aluminium and fits almost any 2.5 inch SSD.
I want to replace the hard drive on a Lenovo laptop. I want to replace the hard drive with a digital Samsung hard drive. Will this mount work to secure the hard drive in the hardrive?
Only @ Best BuySet up your television and DVR with this Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable, and enjoy high-quality high-definition entertainment the way it was meant to be viewed. The 4-foot cable offers ample length for connecting components, and a triple-layer shield protects against interference. This Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable supports transfer speeds up to 18 Gbps for lag-free enjoyment of your media.
I just bought a hisense 2160p 4K how do I make the tv look like how it does in the store?
Well, the first thought is you may need to have the set calibrated. Most sets are shipped completely out of adjustment, so if you want it to look as best as the set can, then you probably should have it professionally calibrated. Second, you need the right program material - 4K content. You can get that from several input sources, including 4K discs. Just remember you will need a player that can handle 4K, cables that have 4K bandwidth capability, and if you use one, an AV receiver that processes 4K signals.
Next thought is you may need to rethink how your viewing room is set up. Generally, glare and bright lights can make the video image look more washed out than a darker room. There are a number of good articles on how to set up a room for really good viewing.
Final thought about how the set should look - it may take 60 to 80 hours of viewing time for everything to settle down in your set's electronics. Some things really do get better with age! After that, then consider having the set calibrated.
Good luck, and happy viewing...

Can I replace the graphics card with a Nvidia geforce gtx 960?
sure, but why? The one in the machine will handle just about anything short of VR.

How far does the Wifi reach with this router
Well, that really depends on what you're trying to push the signal through. Wallboard - no problem, should cover an average house. Steel frame building - not as far. Outdoors through the side of your house - also depends, but a hundred feet or so easily.

Why are scanned files so large?
A four page scan has a size of 2.2 MB. The same pages scanned on a Cannon copier is 325 KB and the quality looks the same. Why are the files so large? Can the scans be make a small file size?
It's most likely due to the resolution you selected on the scan dialogue. For example, if you're scanning those 4 pages at 600 dpi in full color into a searchable PDF, that adds up. If there are images involved in addition to b/w text, then file size grows even more. Try setting the scan resolution to 200 dpi.

why doesn't my Seagate backup plus 1TB back up my Quicken
You need to set the backup location in Quicken. I recommend using a folder structure like this: finance/year/month - looks like this documents/finance/2015/01 for this month. Then each month change the month folder, and Quicken will perform backups that you can easily identify if you ever need to roll back your Quicken files.
One warning: you can't use the external drive on both your computer and your DVR. Unless someone has a workaround, it's one or the other, but not both.
