Great way to get google assistant and a decent little speaker somewhere it normally would not be. Only wrinkle: the instructions say that the top of the device is a play/pause button. it is not. Google disabled this. Took forever to figure out why it wasn't working.

This HP 932XL black ink cartridge is designed for use with select Officejet printers and produces rich, dark text.
It's ink, it works, but...
Customer Rating

Best Buy doesn't carry the multipacks of this ink for color and black XL cartridges. This means I have to go elsewhere to get it, which is a HUGE pain.
Why sell a printer if you aren't going to sell the cartridges?

Went bad in 3 weeks

Had a miserable time getting the old HDD mirrored over and then the drive completely died in 3 weeks. No matter what interface I used, no matter what computer or OS, the drive was dead.
In a $300 drive, that is inexcusable.
Returned it and opted for a slightly more expensive Samsung EVO which has been flawless since day one.

This Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG 620-600-UPGBB tripod features self-leveling rubber feet and a bull's-eye level to help you get steady footage and precisely framed photos. The geared center column enables easy height adjustments.

This is THE tripod to get at the starter level. it's solid enough to travel around a bit, and doesn't suffer from inferior plastic parts like some of the lwoer priced tripods. The pistol grip head allows for a crazy range of motion, and is strong enough to support my D3100 with a large 18-200mm zoom and a flash with lightbox. It is also slightly taller than the rest, which makes for better family photos.
If I lose it, or break it, I'm buying another.

Great sound quality, awesome fit, NFC and solid connection. Not the greatest looking, but I'm a huge fan after about a month of ownership.

ASUS - 24" Widescreen LED HD Monitor - Black
Enjoy a vibrant display with this monitor that features Splendid Video Intelligence Technology and a 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio for arresting clarity. Full 1080p support brings high-definition photos and videos to life.
Great monitor quality for the price.

Since I already had an IPS monitor for photos, my older LED monitor for gaming was tarting to die, and I needed a replacement. To date, this monitor has been fantastic. Easy to set up, easy to calibrate, and VERY good image quality (actually close to the Asus IPS next to it).
The 2ms response time means less ghosting and better gaming and movie image quality than the IPS.
Last, this monitor has VESA mounts so I could mount the monitor on the articulating arms I have so it is up off the desk.
The only complaint I had was the monitor came with VERY little documentation, and removing the base was not intuitive.

Allows easy, one handed, backlit remote control of your TV, xbox and receiver. It works the first time and every time.
The ONLY drawback is that it is nearly completely black and hard to see in dim light.

For the price, this really cannot be beat. It's fast (Intel cpu for the win!), the keyboard is extraordinarily passable for the size and price (a separate bluetooth keyboard like this would be on the order of $150 alone), the screen in beautiful, and responsive. Battery life is also VERY good. Unless you HAVE to have an iPad, there is no reason NOT to get this instead and save a ton of money.

Will this work inside of a 2012 Mac mini?
Will it need anything additional to fit inside the Mac mini or does it come installable out of the box?
Should work no problem in terms of hardware compatibility. Drivers maybe hit or miss depending on whether Apple/Sandisk have created them.

Is this Windows `10 compatible?
The Specification tab here says Windows compatible, but doesn't specify OS versions. I just got this and the integrated speakers are not working. When I went to Asus site for support and to download drivers, Windows 10 was not an option, the choices only went to as recent as 8.1.
In order for the speakers to work, you either have to use HDMI or run a speaker cable to the monitor.

I'm most likely going to buy this monitor, and I saw that it has an optional wall mount design.
What wall mount do I buy for this monitor?

Anything that can accept a VESA mount. THis is different than some TVs so make sure you look for VESA compatibility.

Possibly Buying this for gaming
Wanna buy this and hook up to my 360 but Im curious I know the response time is 2ms but whats the input lag rate ?
To date, I have not detected ANY input lag when hooked to my PC (which is more sensitive to lag than a console), using a keyboard, mouse, wired logitech controller or wireless 360 controller.
