Yes, these hybrid drives are much faster than conventional drives but not as fast as a true SSD. However, they are much less expensive than a comparably sized SSD. EXCELLENT VALUE!!

Plenty of storage space and works perfectly at a great price. Let's face it, this is an external USB drive. There isn't much you can say about it.

Hey, it's a cable. Way too much is made about buying expensive cables for better image quality. As far as I'm concerned, cables are a commodity product.

I've seen sharper projectors, but not for the cost. Setup was easy. Unit is used in a classroom. However, it would not be good for a larger venue needing a bigger picture. Overall, I am quite pleased.

Voices are now remarkably clear. Listening to music and watching movies and concerts are a far different experience. You have no idea what you are missing.
After listening to several more expensive center channel speakers, I decided on this Definitive Tech model. It provides a terrific bang for the buck and equal or better quality when compared to more expensive speakers.

This projector has bright video and excellent features for the money. I've seen better video resolution, but at a much higher cost. The Quick Corner feature is excellent for ease of setup. There are better projectors on the market, but not better values.

Increase productivity with this HP Color LaserJet Pro printer. Its high-yield toner cartridges and 250-sheet paper tray reduce the amount of time spent on maintenance, and the HP Smart app facilitates scanning and printing from mobile devices. Get accelerated output and stunning color quality with this HP Color LaserJet Pro printer.
 

Can this printer do business check sheets and partial sheets from tray

The print driver allows many sizes to print from the tray. More info is needed to accurately answer your question.

What size is a full sheet?
How many checks per sheet?
If one check is printed from a sheet, what size "sheet" remains?
If two checks are printed from a sheet, what size "sheet" remains?

The print driver also allows you to create custom paper sizes. If the tray can't handle it, the manual feed can. By the way, this is an EXCELLENT printer. Very pleased with it.

How do I hook a projector to XP and still retain the monitor?

Projector has HDMI - computer does not. Projector has VGA - but I would have to disconnect the monitor. Projector has red, white, yellow, RCA connections - no matching connections on my desk top.
Best bet is to purchase a video splitter. This takes your computer output and splits it into two signals. One goes to the monitor and one to the projector. This is a simple and inexpensive solution.

what is the best projector to use with an iPad

The iPad is not the issue. Most important: Purchase a projector that provides sufficient resolution for the image/room size you need.

How is this for business powerpoint presentations with various laptop types?

This projector would be great for PowerPoint presentations as long as the room size is not too large. Classroom size room is OK, larger auditorium type venue would require a better image quality.

Will this meet the requirements I've detailed below?

We need a projector for services in our sanctuary. This projector's maximum throw is about what we need. We need one that will keystone horizontally and vertically, will mount on the ceiling, will connect to our speaker system, and will show images on the screen which is close to windows. This one seems to meet those needs. Am I correct? We are willing to spend more if you can recommend a projector that would better meet those needs.
The Quick Corner feature simplifies the picture setup. Using that in conjunction with the Zoom makes the projector suitable for use up to 25-30 feet.

How do you get the Projector WiFi to work? Trying to connect speakers

We are trying to hook up wireless speakers to the projector and it is not connecting. The specs say this is wireless.....what are we missing? Thanks!
Aimee
The EX-3220 is "wireless" when using the optional WiFi module. Bear in mind, this provides wireless networking only - not wireless sound via Bluetooth. It has a built-in speaker but NO sound outputs.
