Nothing wrong with the adapter, but it would not work with these headphones. I returned it to Best Buy who refunded my purchase cost. Very happy with Best Buy and no fault of this adapter. Just not the right one for this set of headphones. Only gave 4 stars, as I was not able to justify keeping it.

I bought this device because I was beginning to have serious problems with carpal tunnel. Since using this mouse, I can get less pressure on my painful carpal tunnel issue. It's comfortable in my hand, which is good, but I wish I had bought the ambidextrous model that I could have used with either hand. I actually can use this with my left hand, but it is awkward. But I will say that this device in the right hand, is quite comfortable and works as desired.

Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.
 
Good price for good batteries.

 2-Pack Running Light
2-Pack Running Light
Many of these accidents could have been completely avoided just by wearing simple high visibility accessories, such as a pair Insignia Running Lights. Insignia 2-Pack Running Light were designed for getting the attention of motorists at a safe distance. It offers the perfect amount of light to keep you seen anywhere.
 
Works just as advertised for a good price.

Our senior ears were having trouble understanding the dialogue on our smart TV. Purchased two of these speakers for $10 each and use them instead of the TV speakers. Works quite well. There are a couple of drawbacks. Every time we turn on TV we have to reset the bluetooth connection to the speakers. Also, the speakers won't play while using the DVD player. But, for the price, we are happy with their performance. Just would be nice to tweak the programing on these speakers. At least, we can understand the spoken dialogue, now.

If you like a low profile external storage drive, this device is small, but still easy to handle while plugging into the laptop. Sometimes thumbdrive sized usb drives are awkward when carrying and moving around. I also like this brand as it works well in both Windows and Linux Mint. I did not give this a five star because I have not had the product very long, and cannot speak to longevity, yet.

Worked out of the box. Just plugged it into the laptop and it did the expected job. It's lightweight and small, making it easy to carry around, as needed. Has become a necessary item if you have a laptop that does not come with an internal optical drive, or if it's broken. Runs fine with Windows 10 or Linux Mint.

Does the keyboard have "back lighting". In other words, is there lighting under the keys so that you can see the keyboard easier?

No it does not have backlit keyboard. I bought two of these computers; Dell Inspiron 3558, 15 3000 series. Both work very well.

max distance from router that this will work

I can't say what the max distance would be, but I can describe how I'm using the device. My modem/router is about 50' unobstructed to a metal camper and metal utility trailer. There are laptops in each. The problem was in the utility trailer. The door of the trailer faced away from the router, so I used this device about 45' from the router, with antennas toward the door of utility trailer. Worked great. Now have good strong wifi signal for those laptops. (I use the utility trailer as an office.)

Asus Laptop: Check your e-mail, watch videos and edit documents with ease using this laptop, which offers 4GB of memory for running multiple tabs and applications at once. Use the HDMI output to connect to your HDTV for giving presentations and more. The 1TB hard drive allows you to house plenty of videos, photos, music and other files.
 

Is 4gb a lot of storage?

4gb ram relates more to online web page loading. 6gb, 8gb, 16gb ram machines each increase in speed and amounts of multiple web page loading, respectively. The amount of storage relates to the 1tb capacity, which is where the document data, photos, videos, and movies are stored on the machine. That's usually plenty of storage for the normal user.
Basically, 4gb ram is just average.

how do you enter the bios

how do you enter the bios
Shut down machine. Hit the button to power up, and immediately push the function key and keep tapping the f2 key. That should load the set up screen, and into BIOS. If Windows loads, you have not succeeded. To try again, repeat the above steps. On some machines, it's the f1 key, and on others it can be the f12 key. The trick is tapping the right key as quickly as you power up the machine. Too late, and you wind up going into Windows.
