As always, buying Epson cartridges is a no brainer in terms of yield, shelf life, print quality. Consistent, sealed, airtight, packaging of individual cartridges in the box of three.

True plug-n-play, quiet, surprisingly cool running for a HDD compared to SSDs; the WD-MY Passport runs at an internal 71'F, same as my SSDs !!
Good value.
I have not yet tried the security software that comes with it so cannot comment on that.

I was perfectly happy with the prior versions of MS-OFFICE but purchased OFFICE 2016 only because I was concerned about this possibly being the last "permanent" license version of OFFICE as Microsoft is pushing towards the annual subscription license even for home users.
My experience with the installation was problematic and required help from the Microsoft support team, this is a FIRST compared to all the other prior MS-Office licenses I have installed very smoothly.
My other gripe, is that when you download files for the installation, you get the impression that you can save the download as a backup in the event of a disk crash, reload, or move, but that is not the case.
This was particularly annoying because Office 2016 needed to be reloaded again within the first week of first installation, again requiring the assistance of Microsoft support staff.
My compliments to the Microsoft support staff for having to deal with this process patiently probably with multiple customers.
Makes me wonder if this painful and inconvenient deviation from past licensing procedures is just to get customers including both corporate and home users to move to a more profitable annual license structure.
All of the above may have been forgiven if it was not for the fact that Office-2016 loads significantly slower than all the previous versions which is also evident from the many postings on the web confirming the same complaint.
If you are happy with your current version of Office, I would not recommend "upgrading" to 2016.

True plug-n-play, connected the power and hdmi cable to the computer and powered up with a nice, crisp image. Excellent contrast for text and colour rendition for images. Very good value.
It would be nice if they included an HDMI cable instead of a VGA cable.

This single telephoto zoom lens can keep up with a wide range of shooting situations, from wide-angle groups to ultra-high-power zoom shots.

Excellent lens, I had quite a few reservations based on reviews regarding the weight of the lens, the resolution at high focal lengths, vignetting at low focal lengths etc. etc. . Having used it for over a month now I am very pleased that I bought this lens inspite of some of the negative reviews. Yes, it is ofcourse noticeably heavier than the Nikkor 18-200 5.6 but in all other respects it is an excellent general purpose everyday zoom lens. Comparisons between the Nikkor 18-200 and Nikkor 18-300 of the same images, at the same focal lengths, ISO settings and P, S, A modes at the same speed and aperture settings are indistinguishable. EXCELLENT lens.

True Plug-N-Play from Targus, a company that has been making these adapters for a couple of decades. The only improvement I can think of is that the labeling on the tips have some contrast to the background to make it easier to match to the relevant laptop without having to visually compare and select. Except for this minor detail it would get a perfect Five Star score.

I was told the 77mm Len is the older model and the 67mm is the newest model. When will BestBuy be selling the lastest version?
The 18-300mm 5.6 uses a 77mm filter, the 18-300mm 6.3 uses a 67mm filter.
Not a question of old or new but the 5.6 lens is a larger diameter and uses a 77mm filter compared to the smaller diameter 6.3 lens which uses a 67mm filter.

will this work in a toshiba satellite e205. will it fit?
It can mechanically displace any 2 1/2 " drive; what you have to make sure for some older laptops is that the address capability, e.g. the Toshiba Satellite T135 cannot accept drive capacities above 320GB.

Can this be installed in the HP Envy m7-n101dx?
Is it a difficult install as well?
The install itself is easy depending on how many screws have to be removed and re-inserted in your laptop to gain access to the drive; but this is independent of the hdd / ssd.
The bulk of the time is spent in "cloning" the SSD since most likely it will be used in a single drive laptop.
