An excellent multi-disc player!
on October 24, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very fortunate to be able to get this multi-disc CD player -- good ones are very hard to find these days at a reasonable price. I obtained this as an "open box" item, advertised as in "Excellent" condition. It was as advertised - it appeared someone had opened the box, and peeled away some of the soft wrapping, but otherwise appeared brand new, and never used. All the accessories were still sealed in their bags, and the manual also sealed in its bag. The player is excellent! I ran it through its paces. Everything worked well, and it sounded great! It is a large device -- 17in X 17in X 5in, and heavy. I suspect the previous purchaser did not realize just how big this is. I sit it on the top of my stereo cabinet, with the turntable on top of it. I recommend this player most highly!

A Premium Compact Travel Camera
on August 26, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This camera has all the features I have wanted for some time, and is within my budget. It is a premium travel camera that has a 1-inch sensor with 20-Million pixels, a very good Leica lens with a 10X optical zoom, and very good optical image stabilization. It comes equipped with a 3-inch touch-screen that allows a host of controls directly. It has very good automatic image control, that makes the camera very easy to use. It also allows one a host of means for manual control, and facilitates this with a control ring on the barrel of the lens and a dial on the top of the camera - and each of these can be user selected for different exposure controls. The camera is small and compact - easily placed in a jacket pocket. It is unintrusive - important for candid shots. I carry it with me on my daily walks, something I would not do with my larger cameras.
The attached photos of a deer family and of a cardinal were each taken at 10X optical zoom, with automatic image control. The camera was handheld, and indicate the quality of the optical image stabilization. The sun rise photo was taken at maximum wide angle, again with automatic image control.
Some accessories I would suggest include:
- SanDisk - Extreme PRO 128 GB SDXC Memory Card
- Case Logic - Era Camera Pouch
- Spare battery (DMW-BLG10PP)
- "Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic ZS100/TZ100" by
Alexander S. White
I highly recommend this camera to all!

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Great accessory for the Xbox One X!
on August 22, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as "Open box - Excellent" because it was unavailable new. It looked new to me! The only evidence it had been opened was the broken seal on the box. The contents looked like they had never been removed from the box. It has worked out very well for me. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, but once done I can use it about 2 hours a day for about two weeks. I purchased a 6 foot USB 3.0 extension cable so I could play while charging (I sit about 12 feet from the console) - and it works just fine!

I have been waiting for some time for this device to come back in stock. With the pandemic it has proven difficult to obtain a good thermometer. This device has proven to work extremely well for me. It is accurate, and takes a reading very quickly - in less than 6 seconds. In addition, it interfaces with your smart phone, and keeps a record of all your readings. I recommend it highly.

on August 9, 2020
Posted by: prof2000

I purchased the 8" model a year ago, and it was a no brainer to purchase this when it was offered on sale recently. I needed a unit with a large screen for use in the bedroom, that was easily readable with my glasses off. I use it regularly to play relaxing music or sounds to help me go to sleep. I can easily play music from local radio stations by issuing verbal commands, and instructing it verbally to turn off after a set interval. I recommend it strongly.

This pouch is an excellent fit for my new Lumix ZS100! It is spacious enough to provide room for the camera and its wrist strap. The outer pocket provides space for two spare batteries, a spare memory card, and the charging cable. The pouch provides protection from the weather, and is spacious enough to make removing the camera easy and quick - essential for taking candid shots in the wild and in urban settings.

I purchased this over a year ago to upgrade my system drive on my desktop PC - it used a 1 TB WD mechanical drive (5400rpm). Moving the system to the new SSD was easily accomplished using the Acronis True Image software (which I recommend strongly). With the new drive my PC seems to run like a rocket! I am very pleased with this drive, and recommend it highly.

Great for the Xbox One X !

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my new Xbox One X. I want to be able to use it for Skype with family members from the comfort of my living room. Installation couldn't have been simpler - simply plugged it into an available usb port. When I brought up the Skype application, it recognized the camera and provided menus for the options I wanted to use. I was done with the setup in no more than 2 minutes. Both the image and audio provided by the camera are good, and provoked compliments from family members at the receiving end. For those looking for a moderately priced webcam to use for Skyping, it will be difficult to find a better choice.

Great Laptop for School!!!
By SpencerD
Great laptop for school! So far this thing has not let me down at all. I was in need of a new laptop for school and I snagged this one during a flash deal. Holy crap I'm glad I did! I was looking for a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM for school (as I feel that is a must in today's standards) and came across this one. So far it has been able to handle all the basic daily multi-tasking I can think of it with no problem, word processing, music, youtube ect. Another huge plus is the keyboard on this thing. It feels so exteremely nice to type on. This was another thing that I had to make sure felt good as I will be writting a lot of paper on this thing I'm sure. I'm acutally writting this review on it currently. The numberpad on the track pad takes a little while to get used to but use you do it's a nice addition. Especially if you use a mouse with it. (Might I reccomend the Logitech Peble 2, amazing mouse to pair with this laptop). Battery life is about average I will say that. I currently have be using this thing pretty heavily and I'm at 60% battery life with an estimated 2hrs 39mins remaining. So don't plan going the whole day with out the charger as you most likely won't be getting more that 6 hours out of it. On the flip side this thing charges super fast for having just a standard DCIN charger (I do wish it was usb-c but oh well).
Great photos!

The photo of the closed laptop and the mouse gives a great sense of the scale of the laptop, and how portable it is.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 11
By ChrisH
I am giving this a low review only because BestBuy does not show which versions of windows that this is compatible with.. I ordered this on the BestBuy website which states “compatible with windows”. When it arrived to the house is when I see on the box that it is only compatible with older versions of windows. I will not work on windows 11.

Great price/capacity/performance ratio
By jpiddle
Every major drive manufacturer dives their drives into categories based on performance, usually colorized. It's partially a marketing gimmick to make it easier for the average consumer to pick a drive based upon their use case, but does give a little guidance. This is considered Western Digital's "top of the line" on the consumer side.
When you need pure capacity, you still have to go with the traditional HDD if you don't want to break the bank. This drive delivers a good price-per-gigabyte ratio when you factor in its performance. It runs at 7200 RPM, so you get faster seek times, which shows in the sequential reads and writes. The random access is pretty dismal when compared to an SSD or NVMe drive, but that's just what happens when you have a physical arm that can only move so fast.
All in all, I'm impressed with the overall performance of the drive. My previous drive that died was a ten year old Seagate drive, and it probably peaked around 130-140 MB/second. This drive is hitting 230 MB/second, which is pretty crazy for a single HDD.
I've had some people comment about the drive's noise level, but perhaps those people are used to silent SSD drives and not the clickety-clack of an old school HDD. I wouldn't say it's much louder than a typical HDD.
With a five year warranty instead of the typical three year, it gives you a little more peace of mind. Even so, always make sure you have backups of your important stuff!

Low profile, reliable, and no heat issues.
By deffensp
These drives have worked great for me. Just bought the 256GB because I needed more space. I have had the 128GB version in use for over a year now. I haven't benchmarked them or anything like that, but they have been fast and reliable and very low profile, and no excessive heat. Mine came formatted as Fat32, which caused issues for me because a particular program's photo database I was backing up exceeded the Fat32 file limits. At first I thought I had a bad drive, but after realizing what was happening and reformatting to extFat everything was fine. With reports of the Sandisk version getting hot enough that the plastic melts, and the older Samsung Fit models also having heat issues, this was my pick and I've been very happy with it. (I also just bought a Samsung Fit Plus 64GB to use for Windows installations--since the installer repartitions the flash drive and I was sick of having to mess around to get my 128GB drive back--so I guess I'll know in another couple of weeks how it compares to the PNY, As of right now, I am sticking with these Elite-X for everything important as they have been rock solid.)

Great value laptop to send to college or on a trip
By EngineerMom
I have a teen that is headed off to multiple college experience camps this year and we needed to find her a highly portable, rugged, laptop for basic school functions as well as staying connected with friends and family back home. The ASUS Vivobook 14 is checking all of those boxes and more, with its compact and sturdy design and (college relevant) capable processing specs. 
In the box is the laptop and power cable, setup is easy in the fact that it's the normal Windows plug and play workflow. Starting with the build, things to note - the underside has an elevated ridge to provide a slight angle when sitting on a table, this also reduces some of the force on the hinge when the screen is laid open flat. The number pad is built into the mouse pad, controlled through the on/off touch sensor in the mouse pad. The keyboard layout affords a decent amount of space, even for those with larger hands, key press is semi-firm, and average responsiveness. The number of ports is generous for this compact build, included ports are headphones, HMDI port, 2x USB-A 3.2, USB-C 3.2, and a USB-A 2.0 port.  There is a front facing 720p camera with indicator LED for video calls, with a physical cover for privacy.  As far as internals go, this build has an i3 processor (geared for school work and surfing), Intel UHD graphics (can support limited gaming applications), upgradable 8 GB RAM (supports photoshop and basic engineering course applications), 128 GB SSD and 14" FHD LED screen. 
The thing that surprised me the most about this build is the Intel Gen12 i3 processor isn't as cumbersome as I had anticipated. I had predicted that this laptop would only be able to surf and support doc editing. While I did see CPU utilization peg while testing, the i3 hung in there and was able to deliver on excel workbooks, with some light macros. Looking at what most college courses require, I didn't see any software that this i3 couldn't tackle.  However I would absolutely recommend the RAM upgrade if doing more intensive work. On the flip side, this build is somewhat loud, the fan runs the majority of the time, even with light loads. The fans are located in the back, so while the bottom of the laptop stays relatively cool, the back edge blows hot air so I find that it's more comfortable on a desk than in my lap. Speakers are as expected, somewhat flat, but work for streaming and have enough volume to be effective even with background noise. Monitor quality is good, viewable from all angles 90* through laying flat. The camera is better than expected, I don't look washed out against a light colored background, and it manages low light settings decently.
Bottom line - at 3 lbs, this is highly portable and feels sturdy enough to go anywhere. My recommendation is to get this for college, travel, basic tasks, and video conferencing. It's a great value build if you need the basic efficiency functions but want something that can also be used for streaming, surfing, and relaxing. The trade offs are that it's not going to be great at gaming, it won't manage complex tasks such as data analysis software, and you're not going to edit 4k images. If these tasks weren't on your 'to do' list today or unlikely in the next year, then I recommend this build.

My New HP laptop
By AmyC
This HP Omni Book X is a user friendly laptop/tablet. There are three things that bug me - 1. Have to hold power button to shut off and on and hard to know until finally light comes on. Seems to take a long time 2. Power cord outlet is only on left side. 3. No memory stick outlet.

It is much, much safer to shut down the computer via windows. It will allow the system to properly close the various applications and processes running on the computer.

Nice Design Facets - Big Design Flaw
By YourMainDude
I had great anticipation waiting to see & use the Razer - Laptop Cooling Pad with Intelligent Fan Control and Chroma RGB. I've seen the prior laptop stand in action and was eager to see how Razer approached this design vs. many of the competitor products out available for around the same price point.
I'll start by saying that overall aesthetic is very nice and typical Razer. The power brick is beefy, the sleek lines and workmanship is again - typical Razer and at a high level. The RGB strip is just enough in my mind and nicely appointed. This Razer - Laptop Cooling Pad can be used without loading up the Synapse software - if one chooses to do so - as the most critical button controls are located on the right side. When adjusting the speed, I noticed no distinct pure tone (or pitchy frequencies) and that sets it apart from all the other cooling platforms I have used.
Here's the problem: When I went to place & connect my recently purchased Lenovo Legion 7i gaming laptop onto this cooling pad, it simply wouldn't turn on. You can imagine my surprise. Sometimes the Legion wouldn't respond at all to power button pushes and other times the power button would light up, but nothing would happen. I tried this with the Razer - Laptop Cooling Pad's USB cable both connected and not connected.
After fiddling with it and becoming frustrated, I switched to a different non-gaming laptop (that I would never see the need to have such performance-based cooling on...) and that Dell computer worked fine. Now I'm really puzzled.
I switched back to the Legion 7i and confirmed it would power-up and functional normally, just sitting on the deck. Upon attempting to place the already powered-up Legion 7i back onto the Razer cooling, I immediately noticed that all the keyboard backlighting went dark, and the illuminated Legion power button would flicker. Bingo!
I don't have the necessary tools at home to sniff this problem out properly, but my educated guess is either this cooling pad wasn't properly compliance tested for RFI and EMI, or it was and done so haphazardly. I am leaning towards the theory that the magnets inside the rather large motor assembly are not shielded properly - or at all. The reason I am leaning this way is because I further discovered that if I offset the Legion 7i to the left or right of center (on the pad) and/or lift the laptop up off the foam by just a few centimeters - the 7i comes back to life and functions properly.
Summary:
This cool pad has a design flaw and didn't go through rigorous compatibility testing. Hopefully my review will help other customers find a quick answer to similar behavior and avoiding the frustration. There is definitely some sort of RFI/EMI/magnetic field emission problem on this pad and my guess is that Razer's own gaming laptops work fine on this platform.
I will attempt to obtain some Mu-metal shielding material to confirm my findings. Some Mu-ferro shielding foil should do the trick...
Seeing this severe of incompatibility with a popular gaming laptop brand keeps me from being able to recommend the Razer - Laptop Cooling Pad with Intelligent Fan Control and Chroma RGB.
Simple test
November 26, 2025
I find your observations and conclusions very compelling. A simple test would be to simply put a sheet of mu-metal between the laptop and the cooler, and see if
that eliminates the problem. I would be very interested in the result.

Get the perfect lighting for your smartphone videos with this Bower 24-inch flexible LED ring light. Three brightness levels from 36 LEDs let you find the ideal light level for video chats, vlogging or live streaming. This Bower 24-inch flexible LED ring light clips easily to your choice of surfaces and most smartphone models for extra versatility.
 

This shows a 24" size but the pictures seem smaller. could this be centimeters?

The support arm for the light is 20" from the clamp to the bottom of the light. The outer diameter of the light is 4". So there is a total of 24" from the clamp to the top of the light.

The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don~t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don~t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.
 

How much lag is there when these headphones are used to watch tv? Is it noticeable?

I have been using these headphones for about a month and and find that I can't notice any lag when watching tv. If there is any it is imperceptible to me.

Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
 

I've been looking for a media center. Has anyone found one with a 17" deep shelf? Length 42" or less. Would like a unit w/3 shelves to set up the Logitech sw(11" H) with room for storing cds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Consider putting the player on top of the media center. I have done that with my player, and put my turntable on top of the player. Be aware that this player really needs about 18.5" of space, because the cables stick out the back. Haven't seen any media centers with shelves deep enough to accommodate that.

Our Onkyo DX-C390 6-disc cd player will not play. When turned on and "loaded" it sounds like it is trying to access the discs but is unable to, and it keeps displaying the message "NO DISC".

Try forcing a reset of the player. Do this by unplugging the power, then letting it sit for a few hours to a day, then plug it back in. You should also remove the discs from the player before doing this.

When will this be back in Stock NEW

Since Onkyo has pulled out of the US marketplace, I suspect that it will not be back in stock as a new unit. I got mine as an "open box, Excellent" unit - and it was as good as new. You can find it as new on Amazon, but its price there is exorbitant - far above the suggested retail price.

Can I stack my Yamaha receiver on top of the CD player? The CD player is a bit too wide to use side by side.

I would say it is ok to put your receiver on top of the cd player, but would recommend against putting the receiver under it. Receivers can generate a fair amount of heat, and you generally want to have good airflow on the top and sides of the receiver.
