I purchased this for my mother in law who only needed it for light use. The laptop has been solid but did have a Windows software related issue that has since been resolved. This should be a good laptop as long as you aren't looking for high computing power.

Bought this to swap while I am out and about. Having a second battery is well worth the money to avoid missing that one shot your battery dies right before.

For the price these are the nicest looking and feeling cases in my opinion. I had the same case for my 6S plus and loved it. The best part is that it only gets better looking the more beat up it gets. As you would expect the fitment is perfect and provides corner and face protection if you put the phone face down.

This is not the super high quality 4k with Ethernet capability. If those are things you need this isn't for you. That being said, this is perfect for what my application was. My new camera came with a mini HDMI port and I needed something that would give me flexibility. This pack provides a lot of functionality for the price.

I have had my fair share of mid-range tripods in my day most of which were Sunpak. This is a very high quality tripod. It has many options and is extremely versatile. It folds to a very totable size and even includes a carry case with a strap. I think the higher price equates to the quality and functionality of this tripod. This might be the last tripod I ever need.

The functionality of this flash drive is great. I have used it to transfer files back and forth to my computer. The data transfer rate is pretty fast and it seems faster than transferring with a data cable. This is very reasonably priced for what a you get

With all the devices these days and the sizes of photo and video files increasing it's more important than ever to have storage flexibility. You won't ever run into a situation where your card is full no matter what resolution your shooting at. Data transfer is quick and the card was affordably priced. It's a win win

 Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black
This Escort Max 360 0100024-2 radar detector features USB connectivity, a smartphone app and connection to the DEFENDER database to provide you with up-to-date, real-time alerts. GPS AutoLearn technology isolates real signals from false alarms.
 

Do you need to have the escort app in order to use the radar after 1 year subscription that is free if yes how much is it? Do you have use use the app every time you use the radar and will the app use your data?

The radar detector will function independently without the use of the app. The app itself will cost you around $50 a year and will use data when it is running. In my opinion $4 or so a month is worth the cost and you really get the full benefit from the Max 360. If that sounds like too much money Escort offers some other high quality detectors that don't have the app functionality.

What do I need to switch from a desktop to a laptop and be wireless?

I currently have a desktop with dial up internet with a brighthouse cable modem. Besides the laptop, what else would I need to buy to go wireless?
You would also need to buy a wireless router that will hook to your modem and create a wifi network. Choose a quality entry level wireless router from Linksys or Netgear.

How to connect to existing (older) Sony receiver and our current VHS/DVD

What is needed to connect this Sony BRAVIA KDL40W600B with our Sony FM Stereo/FM-AM Receiver STR-GX4ES for stereo sound...also connections needed for SONY Video Cassette Recorder/DVD recorder RDR-VX515? It is time to replace our very old SONY TV but the replacement must work with our other components.
Stereo sound from the TV will be easy but connecting older video equipment may require a converter/switch. Audio can be achieved via a 3.5 mm to RCA cable to your stereo reciever. This will capture all sound from the TV including the smart apps. If your DVD/VHS combo has RCA connections (red, white and yellow) you will be all set as there is one classic RCA connection. I have attached a pic from the manual that looks like your set-up.

Is this escort works with salute in the sky?
You wrote "salute" and I will assume that is an auto-correct error. If you meant satellites than yes. The 9500iX and the Passport MAX have GPS (satellite) functionality.
