Needed a micro SD card, and this one is fast with lots of storage. A bonus is that I can use it on several devices, and it's perfect with an adapter for other machines, too.

This works exceptionally well with the Surface Pro 3. I like the backlit keyboard, and the tactile key feeling gives me just the right feedback for keystrokes. The keyboard also hinges to give you a slight angle, which I also really like.

I've used the Office suite for years and years, and have been frustrated at upgrades. With a number of laptops and desktop computers, when Office 365 offered a 5 machine subscription with 1 Tb cloud storage for each install, plus web access to the apps as well, it was a very easy decision. If you upgrade with each new version, which if a good idea of you consult and your clients have different versions of Office, the price of the annual subscription is actually much less than 5 upgrades for the full office suite. Plus the patches are just about invisible and very much better than the old way. I really like the way this works.

I've been looking for a tablet and until the Surface Pro 3 none of them had all the features I needed - like USB ports, ability to run a large variety of apps, JAVA (absolutely necessary as a client system requires it), and the like. The Surface Pro 3, with the lighted keyboard cover, has all of these. With Office 365, it's got it all. I tested the i5 and i7 processors and they both are more than fast enough. I've been using it on client sites for 2 weeks now and I'm happy!

Although I've seen the movie before, the 3D version was on sale, and I thought it might be interesting. It certainly was! Some of the images, like the holographic image of the ship, are so much better in 3D. Glad I bought it.

Even though there may be less expensive ink cartridges available, I've used HP ink cartridges in each of my HP printers ever since I had to replace the print heads clogged by cheap ink. There is the added benefit to the HP cartridges in that they seem to last longer than the off brands.

We needed to replace an aging printer, so we looked over the HP multi-function models. The Officejet 5740 met all our needs, plus it has a smaller footprint than the one it's replacing, better print speed and better printer resolution. The added bonus is that it was on sale for an even better price than advertised. What's not to like about that!

The movie is 'interesting' but the audio is so erratic we found ourselves constantly making adjustments. The 'plot' (it's actually generous to call this script a plot) is certainly not all that well developed either. I usually like SF without any reservations but this one just didn't cut it for us. I'll probably watch the special features disc just to see if I missed something, but I'm not holding my breath...

Needed to connect the in car adapter to the new iPhone 6, and the usual adapter didn't work with the new case, which has a small flap to get to the lightening connector. This is just the thing - adapter and extension on a short cable that works just fine. Problem solved!

The new A/V system used up all my component cables, and a new part needed connecting. The part was an component box and was close to the receiver, so I only needed a fairly short cable. I found these at Best Buy and they are the perfect length, plus they are much higher quality than the usual ones in the bag.

Insignia™ - SSD Mount - Black

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?
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.
