This small chromebook was on sale on deal of the day and I decided to buy it for my husband to use as a tablet for reading or any other computer uses. It has proven to be great, he takes it when we go camping instead of a laptop and it does a great job. A bit slow, but for him it works well. I don't recommend it for anyone who, like me, would look for speed and fast processing.

I purchased this for a new laptop I had just bought and I am very satisfied with the speed and handling of this mouse. I usually use something a bit smaller, but decided to try this and it is very comfortable in my hand. I don't use a tablet for fine details in image editing and this is working very well for me. Easy to handle.

This is a great small laptop and I lucked out because I purchased this on a special Monday at a fantastic price. It is fast, small and easy to handle. This is a great product and since I use it for image editing when away from home it has proven to be an excellent choice.

I have purchased many SanDisk flash drives thru the years and have found them to be extremely reliable. I am still using the drives I purchased years ago, but just add higher capacity units as needed. They are great for transferring info from computer to computer.

This is my 2nd HP computer tower with the same specs. I love the computer. It does everything I expect it to do and I would highly recommend. I am a Photoshop and Lightroom user and do mainly photo editing. It is great for that purpose. Microsoft is a problem in itself. My other HP computer crashed and was unrecoverable. It was only 2 years old. Since components change so rapidly, I decided to replace the unit. So was it a component of the unit (hard drive) or software (Microsoft)? Hard to really tell. Microsoft wants to own you and everything you do. Unfortunately unless you buy an Apple, you are stuck with Microsoft and have to learn how to work around their proprietary attitude. This new unit does not have a DVD drive, one thing that would definitely be nice to have. Since I also have an external DVD writer it was not an issue for me. I have given this a 5 star rating. You might wonder why I purchased exactly the same unit again. I am assuming, and hope I am right, that my problem with the last unit was software. Price was a factor and this unit met my requirements again. I hope it lasts beyond two years.

Have your eggs the way you like best without the guesswork. Cooked hard boiled or soft boiled, poached eggs or scrambled, you can now easily do it all with the Chefman Electric Egg Cooker. Decide on how you prefer your eggs, pour water into the heating plate, place the desired tray and eggs, cover, and your eggs are cooking with the push of a button. Use the piercing pin with the included measuring cup to prevent shells from cracking. Created with you in mind, this 12 egg cooker will change your hectic mornings and serve your family a healthy meal. You will find easy and clear instructions in the user guide on how to use your electric egg cooker and how to customize the settings for perfect eggs, every time. Say goodbye to overcooked eggs ~ the ready buzzer signal will let you know when the eggs are ready! No need to wait for the eggs to cool to move them after cooking - with the tray lifting tool, you can remove the eggs right away to cool them under running water after cooking. For added versatility, you can use the Chefman Egg Cooker to steam vegetables, too! As easy to clean and store as it is to use, the omelet tray, poaching tray, and measuring cup are top rack dishwasher safe.

I absolutely love this small egg cooker. Have only used it for hard boiling eggs for salads but it is great. It is very small and compact which I like and does a great job for my needs. Highly recommend. Unfortunately cannot comment on omelets or poaching at this time.

I purchased this vac because my Dyson of 30 years just became too hard to push around. I wanted something good for animal hair pickup and easier to move around. This solved my problem. You can adjust the height of the unit to make it easier or harder to work. Actually the adjustment is for carpet and floor but it still picks up dog hair and does a great job at a level at a higher level. Would highly recommend, very satisfied.

Electronic controls with 2 heat levels and a fan-only setting and an adjustable thermostat are designed to quickly provide warmth AND heated air circulation when and how you need it. There are 4 timer options, three customizable oscillation selections for personal area up to whole room heating.

Enhanced safety features allow for peace of mind, while a pivoting head and oscillation function provide flexibility, so that you can personalize your comfort in any season.
 

Can it be used outside on the deck

Actually you can use it anywhere. But this is not like a heater made for outdoors. This blows heat by fan. If it is blowing on or near you it certainly will help. It is a great little heater. But it does not radiate heat like an outside heater. Hope this helps.

Am I going to envy not having a larger power supply with this powerful i7 desktop? 180 watts seems very low.

I don’t know how you are using this machine. I bought it for Photoshop and other heavy graphics rendering. I am not disappointed with the speed and performance so far. Hope this helps.

Play great music with this portable GPX Bluetooth boombox. The top-load disc player lets you conveniently insert or eject an audio disc, while built-in FM and AM antennas support clear transmission signals for your favorite radio stations. This GPX Bluetooth boombox features a two-digit red LED display for monitoring different functions and controls.
 

Can you plug in head phones? If so does the sound only go through the head phones when plugged in?

Bluetooth only, no headphone jack, then, yes, sound only through headset. Have no idea why it doesn't have a headphone jack. Rather dumb to me. Would not have bought it if I knew that in advance. Very inconvenient. Hope this helps.

Can this run on batteries. What kind of batteries are they and for how long will it run the player?

Yes, 6 "C" batteries. Makes it a bit heavier. Hope this helps.

No, didn't know that when I purchased it. You have to connect wireless ear pods with Bluetooth. I probably would not have bought it if I had realized no headphone jack.

Can you transfer pics from iPhone without loading in a computer first?

The drive comes with a USB cable to connect to computers. I always download from my computer. I am not aware of any cables to download directly from the iPhone. I also have an iPhone and several flash drives to download from iPhone, but I'm not aware of a lightning cable with the proper connections to download direct from phone to hard drive. There is no Wifi.

Have a question about 77d availability I’m seeing that the 77d body is sold Out will there be more being sold in the near future at the same price ? Hope you can answer !

Have no idea, Chris, I am guessing that it has been discontinued because the 90d just came out. You can contact BestBuy.

I bought WD and worked on Toshiba but doesn’t have adapter to fit on Dell Inspiron 15-7000; can I buy an adapter

The drive should work on any computer through a USB port. No adapter should be necessary.
