Excellent Bluetooth mouse
on November 4, 2022
Posted by: Ellett
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's quite a change from the M705 I've been using, much smaller and without the extra buttons, but it's nimble, takes up much less space on my desktop, and the Bluetooth connectivity is perfect... as reliable as a cabled mouse.

Best Chrome OS keyboard ever

The first Bluetooth keyboard I've had that has zero connection issues. It's as reliable as a cabled keyboard. And it's a 100% Chrome OS compliant layout PLUS it has a full number pad, with delete, home, end, page up and page down keys that you don't usually see on Chromebook keyboard.

Keep it light: Light enough to take everywhere you go, the flexible design of the HP Chromebook x2 lets you easily detach the keyboard and kickstand and makes for a great travel companion. With long battery life you can stay connected from anywhere. More ways to get things done: Get it all done with the power of a Qualcomm~ Snapdragon~ processor and the 3:2 aspect ratio touchscreen. With a full-size detachable keyboard, oversized touchpad, and dual cameras, you'll stay productive wherever the day takes you. Bring the excitement with you: Experience entertainment on the go with a cinematic screen and dual speakers with Audio by Bang & Olufsen. Plus, you get all of the Google Play Store apps you love on a larger screen

Great for the bedroom
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: Ellett
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have it on my nightstand and use it as a clock as well as to give me weather and traffic in the morning, play relaxing music at night, add suddenly-remembered appointments to my calendar without getting up, etc.
Google did the right thing and made a smart device that does NOT have a camera, so it can't be used maliciously to monitor you in bed or bath. I have its big brother, the Hub Max, downstairs, but this one is great for any private space.

This is a fun and useful little box.
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: Ellett
Verified Purchase:Yes
Google Assistant is the smartest of the three big-name assistants, so I can ask it most any off-hand question and get an answer without going out and doing a search. Additionally, I have a pretty smart house, and the Assistant works flawlessly with all of my lights, thrmostats, fans, etc.
This box is especially nice because I can get my answers in a graphical display, YouTube video, or whatever, and it has a nice camera so it doubles as a home security monitor and I can use it for video chat with the family.

Always been a fan of top load washers? LG brings great wash performance, time-saving, and-energy-saving innovations to the classic top load washer design.This New 6Motion Technology simulates the agitator effect of traditional top load washers, without the wear and tear on your clothes that comes with it. Thanks to the LG Direct Drive Motor rotating independently from the tub mechanism, they can spin in different directions and create a powerful water flow. That means an enhanced but gentler clean with more room to do laundry in fewer loads*

Working well so far
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: Ellett
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Maytag it replaced died after only less than five years, so no Maytag ever again, and after we bought a half-dozen Samsung appliances and had half of them fail in less than six years, I'm not ever doing Samsung again, either.
This LG model got lots of excellent reviews, so we shall see. At this point, all I can say is it's working well after a month.

What can you say about a hose? This one fits properly, and since it's reinforced with woven steel, it looks like it will outlast the washer.

The Cync Ceiling Fan Smart Switch enhances your home comfort. Set the speed right from your phone while relaxing in bed. Control the switch away from home, so you can set the perfect temperature for arriving home. Pair with an Amazon Alexa or hey Google device for hands-free temperature control. Set the ideal nighttime scene by pairing your ceiling fan smart switch with Cync lights to dim the lights and cool down the room to get ready for bed.

Beware: Does not work with lighting on fan
By Anah
I ended up returning this because I didn't realize that it only worked to control the fan. The switch doesn't include the ability to control the fan's lighting, which would essentially leave them inoperable.

So you sell fan switches, and you sell light switches, but do you sell a single switch that controls both fan and light? Two separate switches can't fit into a single wall box.

Has ANYONE gotten this device to pair with a PIXELBOOK? Although it is listed on Googel's store site as the mouse for the pixelbook I just bought, it will not authenticate.

Yes, it works flawlessly with my Pixelbook and Pixel Slate using either Bluetooth or Unifying Receiver (USB).

Does this mouse work with a Dell XPS 8900 ... It's the only Logi mouse I would purchase and I looked at all these. Are they other Logi's that aren't in the Best Buy list that are wireless and has a smooth wheel and no buttons on the side.

This mouse has a standard HID (human interface device) profile and standard Bluetooth HID support so it should work with any computer with Bluetooth. Alternatively it comes with a wireless USB interface so it should work with any computer with a USB port.

Can this bypass a broken chainpull fan switch (thereby avoiding purchase of a new fan), where the light switch works?

If the chain pull is broken in the always full-on position, this will almost certainly work. If the chain pull is broken in the always off or slow position, you either need a new fan or you need to replace the chain pull. For most fans, chain pull switch replacement are readily available at you local hardware store. Or you could remove the chain pull and wire the fan to be always on, if you have a bit of electrical expertise.

HP Laptop: Complete important projects with this HP laptop computer. The Intel Core i3-8145U processor handles intensive tasks and commands quickly, while the 128GB SSD offers ample space for music, movies and other data. This HP laptop computer has 4GB of RAM for smooth multitasking, and the 14-inch HD touchscreen provides sharp visuals.
 

Cam tou download music and play the music through a bluetooth d.j speakers. Thank you

This machine has Bluetooth, which means that, in general, the answer is yes. But no one can guarantee that every Bluetooth accessory will work, since there is a lot of Bluetooth crap on the market that has badly-designed and not fully compliant drivers and/or chips. If your speaker works with several other Windows PCs, the answer is probably Yes. If you've had trouble playing from other PCs, the answer may be No.

Hi, does upgrading your Ram and hard drive void your warranty on your laptop? thanks Jim

It's as HP posted in their answer, but SAVE ANY PARTS YOU REMOVE, and if you need to return it for warranty, put everything back just like you bought it. That makes it easier on the tech who is looking at it, and sometimes a warranty claim will result in a replacement machine, which means that you would lose everything non-factory you left in the machine.

is this windows 10 in S Mode?

It comes in S mode, but it takes about 5 minutes, if you're slow, to take it out of S mode, including looking up the answer. Google something like "take Windows out of S mode" to get the instructions.

Control access to your garage with this Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub. It connects to your Wi-Fi router and lets you remotely control guest access for your existing garage door opener via the MyQ app. This Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub pairs with devices for seamless integration with lighting and security cameras.
 

Will it work for a sliding driveway gate? The gate is controlled by a remote and photoelectric switch. Thank you.

The opener uses a sensor that relies on the tilt of the door to determine position, so no, since your gate doesn't tilt.

Can a single Chamberlain - MyQ Smart Garage hub control more than one Chamberlain Garage door opener?

The MyQ Garage can monitor and control two compatible door openers, but a second door sensor must be purchased separately for the second door opener
