When a product works just right, there doesn’t seem to be a need to use up a lot of words, does it? That’s the case with this drive. Everything worked just fine and it was easy to install and operate. I recommend it.

In competitive gaming, every frame matters. Introducing Acer's KA242Y gaming monitor - the Full HD resolution monitor that can keep up with your game play. Through AMD Radeon FreeSync technology, the game~s frame rate is determined by your graphics card, not the fixed refresh rate of the monitor, giving you a serious competitive edge. Plus, users can enjoy comfortable viewing experience while gaming via flicker-less and low dimming display. The design saves space on your desk and lets you place multiple monitors side by side to build a seamless big-screen display.

This monitor provides very good specs for a relatively low price. Although not ideal for gaming, it nonetheless does well for general purpose and business use. I like it and would recommend it.

A Winning Desktop
on March 25, 2022
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think Apple hit it out of the park with this version of iMac. As expected, it easily outpaced my previous iMac (Intel Quad-Core i5, late 2013). What I didn't expect was by how much. All apps load quickly and effortlessly. I can get back to tasks that much faster.

Just what I wanted
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just what I needed: a hub with platform for my monitor (HP V21 FHD) plus a space to put my MacBook Pro and other devices (backup drives, for example). I am very pleased with the convenience and ease of use. I have not experienced any of the power "problems" some people have reported about using lower-cost hubs. I recommend this hub.

When a portable speaker this small sounds this good, you'll never leave it behind. The Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers unmatched sound for a speaker of this size. Its rugged design and durable strap let you take it everywhere you go. It's waterproof from the inside out, so even if it falls in the pool, just pull it out and keep on playing.

Surprising sonic marvel
on May 19, 2021
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
An incredible sound source! It puts out a convincing sound, down to those bass notes. Wow. However, it is dependent upon strong Bluetooth support and a speedy computer processor. Specifically, the microphone input was spotty using a Chromebook (i3 CPU) dropping in and out. It was great using a Windows laptop with an i7 CPU.

Simple, Easy and Works
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
I chose this over the lower cost HDMI camera adapters for a few reasons. First is that the Cam Link 4K's latency is very low, with little delay. This is easily shown by clapping your hands while comparing this and the lower-cost adapters. With this Elgato unit, clap your hands and the clap sounds are nicely in synch. The second reason is to obtain the smoothness that a 60-frame rate provides. Third, the computer easily recognizes this as a web cam thanks to its Universal Video Class driver.

An inexpensive monitor for the Mac mini
on January 8, 2021
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
An inexpensive 21.5" display solution for the Apple Mac mini I purchased. It provided a convenient connection to the HDMI port. Although I would recommend this monitor, there are still two issues that might bother some more than they did me: the display, in HDMI mode, slightly cut off top, bottom and sides, and, second, the display looked bland and lacked contrast. A VGA monitor (1920x1080 through a USB-C-to-VGA adapter) worked well with the Mac mini and did not cut off the edges.

I was impressed with the performance of the boom microphone and the headset speakers. Clean, detailed sound. Although this has a standard USB-A connector, it worked with an USB-C adapter. No software needs to be installed. I tried this successfully with MacBooks, Chromebooks, and Linux PCs. Recommended.

Ok for Windows, Rocks with Linux!
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: MoMadison
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros. Great for portability: light, long battery life (I easily get over a day between charges), built to take it on the road or to meetings (Zoom, of course), large easy-to-read screen, finds Wi-Fi Hot-Spots quickly. Con: Windows 10. I knew from the start that Windows 10 was asking a lot of this machine. After using Windows for a while, I confirmed it: The machine is slow with Windows. How to speed up tasks without changing the machine? Install a "light" operating system, like Ubuntu (what I did), or one of the other fine Linux distributions, and things start improving. Rely on the cloud for storage, and this turns out to be an awesome unit for not much money. This is not a dig on Windows; Windows is carrying a lot of baggage trying to be backward compatible with previous releases. I use Windows 10 on my other machines, and need it. If you are reluctant to try Linux, and want to stay with Windows, I recommend looking for Lenovo machines with stronger specs.

I am looking for 120 min recordable blank discs but they only seem available in the BC-R format. Can I record music on it like regular CDs or are there restrictions in any way?

You might already have gotten your answer. Here's my thought. If you convert your music files to a standard format, such as MP3 (192kbps), you can store around 4-6 hours of music as compressed files on one "80-minute" CD (depending on the compression you choose).
