Good product, Reasonable price

Has its quirks but overall great little printer. All kinds of possibilities without breaking the bank. Make sure to leave plenty of room on a shelf, as this unit needs lots of room in the front, back and sides for movements.

Reliable and Great Item

Always happy with Apple products. Easy to use, lightweight and reliable. As expected, a bit cheaper made than older models, but a screen protector and thin rubber case fixes that fast. Will always buy Apple!

Operate multiple devices from a single electrical source with this six-outlet Insignia power strip. It's suitable for indoor use, and its single spaced outlet accommodates larger plugs like adapters and bulky chargers. The 4-foot cord of this white Insignia power strip lets you connect it to a distant wall outlet for versatility.

Decent quality for a basic power strip. So far no issues. If you don't need a lot of plugs then it's a great product.

Very Good Quality

This item is very high quality and well built. I only buy commercial grade networking equipment anyway, as it does not burn out as quickly and usually has a lifetime warranty. Have never had any issues with this item. Great product and highly recommend!

Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

These little solid state drives are lightweight, super fast and one of the least expensive on the market. I have several of them and have never had an issue. Highly recommend!

Enjoy wireless music playback from smartphones or other mobile devices with this Yamaha Hi-Fi stereo receiver. It has a handy speaker selector for switching between the sound output terminals, and it uses Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. A power management feature on this Yamaha stereo receiver shuts it down automatically when the receiver is not being used.

Decent With Small Speakers and No Sub
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: btrent57
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just a heads up to anyone needing a budget-friendly system. This unit cannot handle larger speakers, especially Bose brand. It does not support a subwoofer. I bought it for the Bluetooth capability, but sadly my Bose 301 Series V speakers were too much for this system and the board burned out after just 1 year of using just 1 time each week. If you do need this system, I would suggest small speakers at no more than 100 or so watts each.

I have one of these speakers...love it! But I have a friend that wants it for the Google Assistant only. They don't own a smart phone or smart device, but have a desktop pc and wifi. Is it possible to set up this item without the phone or app?

What is the default warranty period for a new ipad 9th generation?
For real slick performance and truly stylish engineering, take a look at the Lenovo~ IdeaCentre~ AIO 3i. It~s powered by a 10th generation Intel~ Core~ i3 processor, DDR4 memory, and a 256GB solid-state storage drive, so it can handle any task. With its streamlined stand and near-borderless display, it saves on desk space, too.
Does it have Wifi and internet?
Wi-Fi is included with this item. As long as you are paying for internet service it will connect wirelessly to your router.

Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.
I just bought a Mac mini (Feb., 2018) at the store. When I set it up, it says it is a 2014 model. Shouldn't be a newer model?? paid $500.

Approximately how long does it take from the time you push the power button for the device to be ready for sign in?
Depending on the selections you make during setup, it can take between 10 mins and 1 hour. Sometimes the machine requires updates or to download from iCloud if you are restoring from the backup of an old or dead machine. If it's a brand new one I would estimate less than 30 mins total if you don't require major updates.

Is there a way to get past the "LOAD" error? It flashed it all night after setting up. Got real weird setting up with rest of assistants in the house, as it played music as a group but told me I needed to log into the app to ask it questions. Then "LOAD".
From TV shows to movies to games, it~s all available on Apple TV. Enjoy content from iTunes and apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu and ESPN ~ or use the Siri Remote to find just what you want.* You can even share all the photos you take with your iPhone on the big screen. And it all looks great in HD.
