Just saw that these batteries are on sale for even less than what I paid a few weeks ago, and they were a good price even then. Love the sales at Best Buy. Have only used a couple of the batteries so far, but they are performing fine.

Have only had this TV for a few weeks. So far it is fine quality for the size and price. Got a good sale price by watching Best Buy's daily emails, until I saw just what I wanted.

Delivery was on time and in fine condition. After I purchased and received the laptop, I saw that the sale price dropped one more time. I went to Best Buy and they refunded to match the new, lower sales price. Great policy! This laptop has worked perfectly from the very start. No problems or issues. Wonderful performance for the price. Very happy with it.

Targus - Debossed Laptop Sleeve - Gray/Black
Slip your laptop into this Targus TSS588US sleeve, which features a sleek, lightweight design that can be inserted into another bag for simple transport or carried on its own. The debossed-graphic exterior creates a stylish look.
Very good neoprene sleeve for my laptops!
Customer Rating
5.0
This sleeve came free with a laptop purchase. It's a basic, lightweight and flexible, neoprene sleeve with a velcro closure. Good protection from scratches and dings of normal transport. I doubt it would give adequate protection if you dropped the laptop onto the ground, though. It will add protection inside another briefcase or laptop bag. I'm quite pleased with it.

Purchased in November 2015, one month ago. This has been an excellent buy for my intended use. I saw it on 'Flash Sale', one day only, for $192.00 including tax. I would have given it 5 stars but for one odd feature of it's touchpad. The pad is so ultra sensitive that it will jump around with the slightest touch while typing. My workaround is to use the function key with F9 to disable the keypad while typing. Repeat the same function after typing is finished to enable touchpad. Not a big deal for me. I use a tiny LED flashlight that clips on the top of the monitor to light the keyboard while typing in the dark; cost me a $1.00 at Dollar Tree. This laptop came with Windows 8. I bought this laptop because I wanted to see how well a new machine would run with Linux Mint installed, so I immediately installed LM and wiped Windows. I had to find the BIOS and make 2 or 3 changes to the settings there, after which the LM installation went well. I had to force a reboot 2 or 3 times initially, but after those reboots, it runs perfectly. With LM installed, this machine runs quite fast. It has plenty of ram and HD memory for the lightweight nature of Linux, compared to Windows. For the past month, I've used this as my main laptop, enjoying using Linux MInt Cinnamon, which is the perfect Linux distro for a new Windows-to-Linux convert like me. I'm still keeping my Windows 7 on another laptop, but it sits idle while I'm enjoying this operating system on this new, inexpensive pc. This has been such a success that I'm so tempted to switch my Windows 7 laptop to Linux Mint as well. I will resist temptation awhile longer, since Windows 7 is the last decent MS operating system. When MS quits supporting Win 7, I'll be ready to convert entirely to LM Cinnamon. So, purchasing this laptop from Best Buy at $192.00, has turned out to be a great experience. And to date, all my purchasing from Best Buy has been a very good experience. I almost bought a 'Black Friday / Cyber Monday' laptop that Best Buy had put on sale for $299.99, 8GB ram with plenty of HD memory, simply because it was such a great deal. I just had no use for another machine.

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 - 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Spin Pattern in Black
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.
