Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED
The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

What's great about it: It play's DVDs
What's not so great: Product with narrow utility! DO NOT BUY
The PS4 is a complete disappointment! Can you use your library of PS3 games? NO! Can you play 3D Bluray discs (a capability added to the PS3 years ago)? NO. There is a reason why the best companies in the world move forward and others fail. The world is moving away from dedicated game systems and indeed these systems will eventually cease to exist. Sony's PS3 strategy was brilliant -- a gaming system (even for those who don't play games) that also played bluray discs, so if you bought a PS3 you could avoid buying a bluray disc player which at that time, cost about the same as the PS3. Then Sony added the ability to stream Netflix and Amazon, and provided an update to play 3D bluray discs. And the earlier versions even played PS2 games. It was the Swiss Army knife that offered something for everyone. NOT so with the PS4! All new controllers are required. You cannot use your previous PS3 game discs you can stream previous game titles to your PS4, but at an additional fee. You cannot play 3D movies! I mean that is just stupid. Even the PS3 did that! So, while the PS4 seems to be a great single-purpose game machine, it is definitely a DOWNGRADE in virtually every other aspect for a type of product that will become less relevant.

What's great about it: No Cords
What's not so great: Mouse Quality Just OK
What's great about this wireless keyboard and mouse combination is it takes only one USB port to connect to both the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard design is decent quality. The mouse, however, is a tad on the small side. Also, it seems to be sluggish and somewhat less precise than my old wired mouse when using Photoshop (that requires fine mouse control).

What's great about it: Beautiful sleek and solid design
What's not so great: A bit pricey and uses expensive tri-color cartridges
With "zillions" of ink jet printer choices, the HP Envy 120 will turn a few heads with its futuristic operation and design. It starts with a beautiful, black, low profile, small footprint chassis. Add to that a see-thru, face-up glass scanner that scans without using visible light and a "hidden" print output system that only swings into action when something is printed, and you got an "exciting" and sexy conversation piece. When's the last time you could say that about your ink jet printer? This printer is solidly built, and screams high quality. That said, it uses a tri-color cartridge (instead of individual color cartridges) which means a costly operation. It would have been nice to see thins printer added to HP's Instant Ink program. Also, the wireless printing does not work consistently (however this is easily solved by turning the printer off then back on). But that's better than the Canon and Epson wireless printers which I've owned where wireless printing almost never worked. And setting up this printer for wireless operation was the easiest of all other past printers.

As with most HP printers, using HP-branded cartridges is the only fairly reliable way to insure the printer will provide reliable ink-level data, as well as operate at all. There have been reports of refilled cartridges and non-HP cartridges causing problems, though I would not know the accuracy of those claims. Good quality, though a bit pricey. Buying the combination pack at least saves a few dollars.

Drop of Internet connection by printer after 5 minutes of working.
After many hours of Tech Support calls, there is a concensus that there is an issue between the AectionTec 784 modem router and the HP Envy 120 printer . I am about to try a different make of modem router on the DSL line to see if that resolves the issue. Firewall is off, new port on printer tried, new printer tried. Tests have been run by Verizon and HP with no fix. I have seen a few other comments about this same problem but no fixes except different printer or router. Have any other users found.an answer?
Unfortunately, the Actiontec router connected to Verizon may indeed be the problem. I have a similar setup (Actiontec router connected to Verizon FiOS), and I have installed three different brands of wireless printers (Epson, Canon and HP), and none had worked consistently after initial installation and setup. I am not sure if its the router, or Verizon, or a combination of the router and Verizon together. However, when I send a print job to the HP Envy 120 and it hangs in my printer queue, I noticed if I turn the printer off then back on, the print job in the queue will then print successfully. It's a pain, but it is a work-around that works for me. I hope this helps a little. BTW unlike the HP, turning the Epson and Canon printers off then on, did NOT result in successful wireless printing.
