I have used many packages of the 4-pack ink, as these are the cartridges that most often need to be replaced. I print 30 to 75 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 a week for a class I teach, in additional to the needs of my wife and myself. When we have our monthly group get-together, I often take photos and distribute to everyone. The photos always look professional. This is top quality ink and paper too!

I would recommend this to a friend!

I use my Roku thru an Ethernet connection to my router, PC and the internet. The GUI is easy to use, and it has the two apps I use. The wireless remote would be somewhat of a problem, because I use a Harmony remote. However, the IR to wireless converter I use for my PS3 works just fine with the Roku. I would like a mirroring feature, but don't think there is an app for that.

What's great about it: Big supply of ink, just for text.

What's not so great: I would always like a lower price

I have printed many boxes of paper with these cartridges, and every copy has been good. The price is not too bad, and the printer warns before it starts printing bad copies.

What's great about it: Very stylish and consistent with my ultrabook

What's not so great: Battery life

I bought this to use with my Asus ultrabook, and the styling is really consistent with the computer. The top surface is a touch control, just like the touch-pad on the laptop. Left-right and up-down scrolling work fine. It is interesting the touch surface determines whether you are clicking on the left area or the right. When you click, the entire surface moves to activate one switch - it Is the position of your finger on the surface that determines if it is a right or left click. I leave the mouse on overnight, and the battery lasts about three days. I check the tray icon each evening, and when it says low, I recharge overnight. That way it never runs out of battery charge. The Best Buy price was $10 less than Amazon.

SanDisk - Ultra 32GB Micro USB/USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Black

Easily transfer photos, videos and more from your OTG (On The Go)-enabled Android smartphone or tablet to your computer with this SanDisk Ultra SDDD2-032G-A46 32GB flash drive, which features micro USB and USB 3.0 interfaces to simplify connection.

need a good USB stick or drive for music to play on my car radio. I have a 16GB for $6.99 and the quality is very BAD

Quality of music does not depend on the USB stick. The stick just stores the data it is given. If the data going in is good, the data going out will be good. Either you are storing poor music data, or your playback system is trashing the data.

SanDisk - Ultra 32GB Micro USB/USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Black

what is different between USB 2.0 ,USB 3.0 and micro USB .Can connect all of those to my laptop ?I am planning to purchase SanDisk Ultra 32 GB Micro USB/USB 3.0 Flash Drive -Black but I am not sure I can use with computer.

USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are different speeds of USB; the connectors come in three sizes, but 2.0 and 3.0 are used with all three connectors. USB 3.0 is much faster than 2.0, but a 3.0 device will run slower at 2.0 speed if plugged into a 2.0 device. This is called "Backward Compatibility."

Micro USB refers to the USB connector size. The three sizes are referred to as Standard, Mini, and Micro. Micro USB connectors are the smallest, and they are used on many devices today, such as Galaxy phones, and Kindle readers.

Can I transfer from my I phone to my computer?

You can transfer if your phone has a USB connector and can move files from one memory to another. This does not work with Apple iPhones, as the connector does not match.

best cleaning cannister

Is one brand of cannister vacuum better than the other. When spending approx. 75.00-150.00 dollars?

This canister is as good as any of the two or three others we have had. They are good for cars, upholstery, walls and ceilings, but not as good as a floor model for floors.

Hoover - Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister - Platinum

How would you rate it for noise level?

Less noisy than our old Royal. Of course, it is a vacuum cleaner, and somewhat noisy.

The canister is also not overly noisy. If it was quiet, I would suspect it was not very powerful.
