Not a bad device just very basic. It lays Blue Ray discs well and the look good on the 4K TV so that is fine. The devices doesn't have any bells and whistles it is simply a player that plays discs. It is good for my need to play the disc in my collection when needed. Most things these days are streamed which give more content but I'm not going to pay extra to convert all my DVD and Blue Ray disc for streaming so this is fine for those disc that where an older technology! My other player stopped working so I needed something to replace it and this was it and it works. I would recommend this product if you are in need of something simple to play your disc collection, it works as I said!

This is the 3rd one I have purchased in the past 15 years. They seam to last about seven years at a time. I just replaced my older one that was as I said about 7 years old. If you like track balls for moving the cursor around as opposed to a traditional mouse then this is a good one to have. There was some small changes that I had to get around and one of the biggest it the fact that it doesn't connect using the unifying dongle so now I have to use the dongle for this and my keyboard separately which takes up another USB-A port. Luckily is works fine in my ten port hub. Overall this is great when you have limited desk space since you don't have to move the entire unit to make the cursor move.

Good phone/computer

It isn't the perfect specimen by any means but it is very capable. I've had many phones over many years and find that this one has certain aspects that are better than some of the previous phones from this company and other companies. The battery is one of the best in the industry I think. It can actually go days without charging if you don't use it a lot. It can hold up for about 2 days with moderate use and with heavy use you can last the entire day and not worry too much about being depleted. It's generally the same size and weight as others on the market and is easy to handle. It has a decent camera or two that produce sharp images. Great for quick shots or more if you so desire. (I have dedicated cameras for photos) Bloatware is minimal compared to some others and many things you are able to delete if you don't want them. 128GB is pretty good space and there is over half free even with the apps loaded on the phone. The space to load apps is something that is subjective depending on how you use apps and which ones. Should be enough space to load all the social media apps of choice even if it is all of them. The screen is clear and bright with good response to touch and good feel. Overall a good device and the 2nd one in the family.

Good device with good speed and great size for my needs. It was a replacement for another one that was the size of 8". While this one is a slight bit bigger it fix in the space I needed it to fit with little adjustment. The battery seems to last very well about 4-5 days with the how I use it. The screen is very responsive. Overall it does what I need it to do and that is great.

Not the best, not the worst. It does well at the health things but a few smart watch things are a little short. Sound during phone calls is very weak and hard to hear unless it's very quiet. I did connect easily and tracks all the pertinent health related information so that is a plus since I got it for that purpose. Good value to cost ratio. I could recommend this item to others that want to track there health over other things a smart watch does. This is a replacement of another old Fitbit that didn't even have other capabilities and was limited so this is a jump ahead. Seems to be getting better with each version.

Seems to be a good phone. I have had a motorola for some time now and found that they are good phones. I had to finally replace my last one after many years due to not charging well and having the battery die quickly. There are a few changes to operating system or things I haven't found yet. It doesn't perform exactly like the older one in operation anyway. The speed and performance is much quicker than the previous device. Overall is seems to be a good phone.

I have had Garmin GPS units for a very long time and they just keep getting better. They aren't perfect but close enough to it to make it a five star. There is not much it can't find and with a quick update of maps and software it finds those new things that pop up. The only thing that is slightly annoying is the search method. It works great but it is multiple steps instead of just putting an address in the search bar. You have to first do the house/business number then you have to put in the street name then and then and finally you got it. It just seems a little bit counterintuitive. Other than that the suggestions for places such as restaurants and gas stations are spot on and makes life easier when you are away from your home area.

Using this one for a carry along external SSD in an enclosure and it is performing very well. I am using it for photos and editing and it is faster than my other external drive. The configuration allows it to surpass my other drive with ease. Only time will tell if it holds up to the use I have delegated it to!

Very good dishawaher that replaced a much older one that had seen a good life. Hope this one continues as long as that one did. The interior is spacious and easy to load except the door spring is a bit tight and the door doesn't stay open all the way unless you push it. This is not a bad thing but a little annoying because sometimes when you push the bottom rack in the wheels get caught in the small gap made when the door isn't open all the way. The exterior look is good and easy to keep clean. The dishes look good after washing and if you use the additive such as jet dry their are minimal spots and the dishes seem to dry faster. The auto door open is a nice feature that pops the door open when the cycle is done giving the dishes air to dry more easily. Overall seems to be a good machine and works rather well. At first I wasn't even sure it was running it's so quiet. My old one could have woken the neighbors but this one is smooth and almost silent.

Nice Looking and works well so far

The refrigerator is very nice. Overall it has some great features but there are a few minor draw backs. The capacity is adequate for our needs and the only issue I see is the shelves. There are not enough adjustments spaces and it is a little limited as to what can be stored on each shelf even when moving them up or down. It is nice that they are half width shelves so one side can be in a different configuration to make the space needed for your goods. The in door ice maker is a bit small and the ice it makes are very tiny compared to some others. It doesn't hold a lot of ice in the door (not an issue for us) and I'm not sure how good the ice maker in the freezer is as we are choosing not to use it. It is good that they have independent on off switches. It has an onboard water filter which may help some people. We have a full water filter system for the house so we chose to leave the filter out. It has a good bypass built in so you just take the filter out and it seals and lets the water run to the door dispenser and ice makers without trouble. The converting drawer is nice and is very convenient for snacks, cheese, cold cuts and other similar items. It has several temperatures you can set it at using preset choices and you can also make it part of the freezer at the push of a button.

Customize your gaming rig with this PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card. The 4GB of GDDR6 memory and 1280 CUDA processing cores let you play modern games smoothly, while the DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D ports offer flexible connectivity to UHD monitors. This PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card has NVIDIA Ansel technology for capturing quality in-game screenshots, and the NVIDIA Turing architecture delivers ultra-realistic visuals.
 

Does this item work with the dell optiplex 9020 mini tower

I looked up the system and it appears that it might work in that case on that motherboard. Get the Dell service manual and check on the upgrade part to be sure.

Will this work with a HP Pavillion 590-p0086? It has a 310 w power supply. Will it fit in the bay?

Not familiar with that model of HP computer so I looked it up and the specs I saw would have to make me say yes it would work. However, 310Watts is kind of pushing it to the limit. It may work depending on many other factors and components in the case that are drawing power. You'll need a six pin connector for the card itself and the specs for the card say it will be pulling 100watts on it's own. It looks like a very small tower and the motherboard pictured appears to have only one PCIe-x16 slot that is mounted very close to what appears to be USB ports that are on board. You would have to check with HP to get the tech manual that machine to see if it can accommodate a double width video card without hitting the ports. Hope this help a little, without seeing it I'm not sure how accurate this information is for you.

Enjoy enhanced viewing with this 32-inch Samsung monitor. The widescreen display lets you browse multiple windows and applications comfortably, and the upscaling technology boosts the clarity of lower resolutions to match UHD-level picture quality. This Samsung monitor uses AMD FreeSync technology to maintain a consistent refresh rate for smooth visual performance.Supporting a billion shades of color, the UJ59 delivers incredibly vivid and realistic images. Its greater accuracy means colors appear more natural and true to life, making the UJ59 ideal for photo, video and graphics applications.
 

If the monitor run in 4k 60hrz can it run in 2k 144 or 165 or 120 hrz

Doesn't appear that it is possible to run that refresh rate. The highest it goes is 75hz on some of the lowest resolutions. This was using a GTX1650Super as a video card.

Echo Show 8 connects to Alexa to give you rich stereo sound with vivid visuals on an 8" HD screen. Set alarms and timers, display your favorite photos, check weather and traffic as you head out, or catch up on news highlights and movie trailers. Connect with your favorite people by making hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo with a screen, use Announcements to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device, or use Drop In as a two-way intercom between rooms.
 

Can you set two alarm times for M-F only?

You can set as many alarms as you would like. I don't believe there is a limit but there are times I have 6-8 alarms set for different thing and it works fine. I do however set them in the app after the first one (you have to use the device for one) then you have a bit more control and can see better what you are setting. You can do them all on the device I just find it easier in the app.

Does the "drop in" feature work with this device? If so, can any friend or family drop in?

Drop in works fine and you can approve anyone you want to be able to drop in.

Can a second voice recognition be added, and if so how can this be done.

The three people in my house use the same devices and there is never an issue with it understanding everyone. It always asks to learn my voice better but I refuse her. She works fine though whoever talks to her.

Can this be used like a digital photo frame?

You can display photos from your Amazon photos but there are drawbacks. There is always other things on the screen no matter how you have the setting adjusted. It is not a true digital picture frame.

Depends on your Thermostats. I have mine connected to the show and it seems to work well for the major functions. Turn up, turn down, change mode. The interface between my Honeywell and Alexa is limited but it works fine.

Store files securely on this 1TB Samsung portable SSD. It transfers data at speeds of up to 540MB/s for increased work productivity, and it connects to Android smart phones with a downloadable app, so you can backup pictures and music. This Samsung portable SSD is smaller than a standard business card for easy transport.
 

My husband has a desktop Dell. How much data will this external hard drive hold? Also, will it connect to his Dell? We have a lot of pictures saved on the Dell and would like to unload them. We are not that computer savvy? Thanks.

I use this for my entire catalog of photos in Lightroom and there is only about half the drive space taken up. Not sure how many photos you're talking about and being a non static number for the size, as every photo is different, then it it hard to say if 1TB will store all your photos. I can tell you I have 230,000 and most are taken in a RAW format by the camera and those are the ones I have on this drive that is now half full. You can also connect this to your Dell desktop without worry. I myself have a Dell and I use it regularly with this drive. You plug it into your USB port on the computer and you should see it in your file manager very shortly after that. (takes a few moment s to read and or set itself up). Hope everything works out for you and you get the storage space you need.

Does this work with the included Type C to C cable on the 2019 iMAC's Thunderbolt port? There also is a Type A to C cable included, but want to know if C2C works?

Since I don't have the iMac I can't be sure but it should connect. However the two are not always compatible and there are differences. The only way to know for sure is to either ask Samsung or Apple if this combination will work. The ports looks similar but the technology can be very different depending on how it's implemented. Hope you get this figured out good luck!
