We needed to replace an all in one printer and found Best Buy had this one on sale. The installation was super easy, and the printer software guided me through every step. I've got this running via USB on one computer and via wireless on two others. Fast printer and easy to use and deploy.

It seems that 3D movies are getting a little scarce, so when I saw Star Trek Beyond in 3D, I snapped it right up. As I was watching it, the 3D effects were so good and so smooth you almost didn't notice them - they became an integral part of the movie. Now that's really good in my opinion!

Thought it was time to have a replacement for a USB flash drive since it's "mission essential/critical" where used. So, when this one was advertised at a good sale price, it was a no-brainer. Plus it's faster than the one it replaces, so that's an added bonus.

After a storm blew out a UPS and took out the All in One computer attached, we needed a replacement - and this computer is the updated version of the one I use, so it made great sense as a replacement. It was easy to set up and has performed perfectly since we turned it on. Since we use it for business both performance and reliability are very important, and this computer gets top marks in both.

 Insignia™ - SSD Mount - Black
Insignia™ - SSD Mount - Black
Upgrade your computer without assistance or confusion. Mounts your 2.5" solid state drive into a 3.5" drive bay desktop computer using screwdriver. This adapter bracket made of aluminium and fits almost any 2.5 inch SSD.
 

I want to replace the hard drive on a Lenovo laptop. I want to replace the hard drive with a digital Samsung hard drive. Will this mount work to secure the hard drive in the hardrive?

You probably don't need a bracket, as most SSDs are the right size for the mounting bay on laptops.

Only @ Best BuySet up your television and DVR with this Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable, and enjoy high-quality high-definition entertainment the way it was meant to be viewed. The 4-foot cable offers ample length for connecting components, and a triple-layer shield protects against interference. This Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable supports transfer speeds up to 18 Gbps for lag-free enjoyment of your media.
 

I just bought a hisense 2160p 4K how do I make the tv look like how it does in the store?

Well, the first thought is you may need to have the set calibrated. Most sets are shipped completely out of adjustment, so if you want it to look as best as the set can, then you probably should have it professionally calibrated. Second, you need the right program material - 4K content. You can get that from several input sources, including 4K discs. Just remember you will need a player that can handle 4K, cables that have 4K bandwidth capability, and if you use one, an AV receiver that processes 4K signals.

Next thought is you may need to rethink how your viewing room is set up. Generally, glare and bright lights can make the video image look more washed out than a darker room. There are a number of good articles on how to set up a room for really good viewing.

Final thought about how the set should look - it may take 60 to 80 hours of viewing time for everything to settle down in your set's electronics. Some things really do get better with age! After that, then consider having the set calibrated.

Good luck, and happy viewing...

sure, but why? The one in the machine will handle just about anything short of VR.

How far does the Wifi reach with this router

Well, that really depends on what you're trying to push the signal through. Wallboard - no problem, should cover an average house. Steel frame building - not as far. Outdoors through the side of your house - also depends, but a hundred feet or so easily.

Why are scanned files so large?

A four page scan has a size of 2.2 MB. The same pages scanned on a Cannon copier is 325 KB and the quality looks the same. Why are the files so large? Can the scans be make a small file size?
It's most likely due to the resolution you selected on the scan dialogue. For example, if you're scanning those 4 pages at 600 dpi in full color into a searchable PDF, that adds up. If there are images involved in addition to b/w text, then file size grows even more. Try setting the scan resolution to 200 dpi.

why doesn't my Seagate backup plus 1TB back up my Quicken

You need to set the backup location in Quicken. I recommend using a folder structure like this: finance/year/month - looks like this documents/finance/2015/01 for this month. Then each month change the month folder, and Quicken will perform backups that you can easily identify if you ever need to roll back your Quicken files.

One warning: you can't use the external drive on both your computer and your DVR. Unless someone has a workaround, it's one or the other, but not both.
