I have two DisplayPort monitors running off my laptop, backup disk drive, wireless mouse & keyboard, seems to work fine. I do get a message on my laptop that the power supply is not powerful enough to charge my laptop, but once it boots, the laptop charges fine. Biggest downside is the price, you can find cheaper docks, but needed it right away and they had them in stock at Best Buy.

This mouse is ok. I wanted a more ergonomic mouse, but the selection at Best Buy is not as good as it used to be, so I settled for this one. It is not very comfortable for all-day use. It's very solid, would likely last a long time, but I will replace it with something better suited to daily use.

Belkin - PowerHouse™ Charging Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch - White
Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.
Good dock for charging iPhone and Apple Watch
Customer Rating

Overall a good dock. The lightning adapter is adjustable so that a phone case does not interfere. It's very sturdy, so you won't knock it over when you reach for your phone to turn off the alarm in the morning. It comes with it's own power supply, some docks require you to use your iPhone charger. I would rate it a little higher, but at $99, it's a little pricey for a charging stand, guess everyone gets to enjoy the Apple tax.

It works ok once you start streaming, but the performance loading/staring apps is very slow. Most of the family members did not have the patience to wait for them to load, returned it. Did not get a higher end model, they probably have faster processors and might give better performance.

It's a good idea to hold the cap to the pen, but if you have a tablet cover that the pen can be stored on, it makes the pen to bulkin with this cap.

The speaker sounds really good but the blue tooth connection is flaky, drops out a lot during music. I will probably keep it but go with a wired connection in the near future.

Cuisinart - Deluxe Convection Toaster Oven Broiler - Stainless Steel

Controls are needlessly cumbersome. There should be a simple turn on, set the temp, and go. No such luck. That's the way every oven works, but when you enter the world of toaster ovens, no such luck, just a confusing mess.

I bought these to use for travel, mainly mobile devices. Very comfortable for long wearing times. If they would be a bit more compact, that would be better, but over the ear headphones mean larger size. The sound is good, but it reproduces fairly accurately, so poor source material will not sound that great, you can tell the difference between high-bit rate encoded materials and lower bit rate stuff.

Time Warner cable bundle compatible?
I have cable tv, phone and Internet bundled through Time Warner. The 'Product Features' says this is not compatible with TW bundled voice. Does that simply mean I can keep the Internet and tv service but drop their phone line to use this? I am also thinking of using MagicJack with it and stop renting the TW modem/router and stop paying them for what is essentially VOIP phone service. Am I on the right track? Thanks.
Time Warner will let you keep your old modem for your phone service. They will stop charging you the monthly fee and will disable the data service to the old modem. This modem works fine with TWC.

Toshiba - Canvio Connect II 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
Take your files wherever you go with this Toshiba Canvio Connect II HDTC810XK3A1 external hard drive, which features 1TB of space and a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbps. The NTI Backup Now EZ software lets you customize your backup options.
Can I organize photos?
I primarily want to save photos. Will I have the ability to organize them into separate folders?
If you use Windows backup tools, no, you would have to organize them first. If you just plug in the drive, you can copy files and folders (or create new folders) just like on your main disk, it will just show up as another disk and you can manage it however you want to.

Will this product help my PC to be faster when I play games such as FV2?
Hard to answer. If you are trying to use ReadyBoost with Windows 7 (or later), if you have an SSD, it won't really help. Performance issues can be related to lots of issues, CPU performance, running out of memory, slow graphics, etc., so hard to answer your question.
