As with most cables used to charge your phone, this one does the job. The neat part about this one is that has led lights that move at variable speeds when charging your device. The movement or intensity of the lights is an indicator of the amount of current flowing to your device. A Slower movement of the lights indicates that your device is likely more fully charged. Faster moving lights indicate that your device is still taking on a charge. I just enjoy the light show it puts off.

2017 Model IPad replaced and retired my old IPad

If you have a sluggish older IPad, a newer model might be needed to get you back on track. This 2017 IPad fixed all the issues I was having with my old model. Technology keeps advancing and the 2017 IPad is a good example of technology improvements from Apple. We went with the maximum memory - 128 GB with WiFi and we love this new device! The Best Buy rep backed up my old device to the iclound and restored all my apps to my new device. The only thing, your Safari browser will inherit all your previous information. I suggest that go to Settings/Safari and "Clear History and Website Data" to be sure you get max speed across your intenet connections. Good job Apple! Also, you can contact Apple Support and get their 2 yr Apple Care for only $99. You have 60 days after your purchase date to do that. With that, you can get certified Apple service for your product from any Apple store in the US.

I've been using Logitech Trackball mice for many years. This style is my preferred version. Sized just right- not too big and not too small. Mouse pointer is easily controlled by moving your thumb over the ball. Not everyone is comfortable with this style so try the variety of Logitech mice at your local Best Buy store to find the one that is best suited for you.

I use a local Starbucks to pick up my morning coffee, a mid-day snack or a tasty lunch. Buying a Starbucks card gets me the immediate convenience of having a quick-pay option to get me in and out faster. Then, after registering the card I can add money to it at my leisure from my home computer and I'm all set. It's a great convenience.

Seagate - Backup Plus Desktop 5TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Hard Drive - Black

I own about 4 Seagate backup drives and several other brands. This particular model provides 5 GB of storage at a very reasonable price. Seagate has proven to be very dependable throughout its life-cycle; however, I like to replace all my external hard drives at least every 4 years - doesn't matter what brand it is. If you value your data, you need to keep good hardware and some redundancy. One external drive is good, two drives are better, the optimum is to have 3 drives with your valuable data on it. I use these with Acronis True Image to back up all my computers. And Seagate.com provides discwizard free of charge. Discwizard is Acronis True Image prepared for Seagate owners but only has the necessary options for backup and restore.

HP - Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Wireless Instant Ink Ready All-In-One Printer - Black
HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer: Print 2-sided documents, scan directly to your e-mail, make copies efficiently, quickly send faxes and more using this e-all-in-one printer. You can connect to your PC or Mac via built-in Wi-Fi or the Ethernet LAN or print directly from your compatible mobile device with HP ePrint.
Great All-in-one printer from HP!
Customer Rating
5.0
All the great functionality expected from this series printer and from HP. The Wireless connections really make this a super product for printing from your apple device or PC. You can scan a document and have it sent to your PC using the wireless interface. And the quality of print as well as the ink yield are great.
But I do have a huge concern. My Windows 10 suddenly stop recognizing the printer and I now only have minimal functionality back. I understand from searching answers on the web that this is a windows 10 issue and affects all or at least a majority of HP All-In-One printers. Microsoft needs to fix this but HP also needs to intervene and persuade Microsoft to move on this issue. It appears to affect a large population of Windows 10 users. The printer works great for a while after installing Windows 10 but suddenly is no longer recognized in Win 10. Removing and re-installing the printer in window 10 does not help.
I still do recommend this printer to a friend but I would suggest doing some serious research before buying it for use with Windows 10.

Product was easy to use and allowed me to connect some old drives with IDE connectors where the drives had a separation between the ide connector and the power connector (e.g. A jumper connector between the two connectors.) One older drive in my collection had the ide connector directly next to the power connector and requires another adapted because the ide cable supplied Is wider than the connector and covers one of the power connectors prongs and doesn't allow the connection. All other drives were easy to connect and worked just fine.

If you are looking for to save your documents, pictures and files to the cloud that you can access via the internet when you are away from home, My Cloud offers a complete system that is easy to use. Multiple drives let you provide the redundancy with 2 to 4 backup devices that operate in RAID mode. You own the system and access it through your own internet service eliminating any 3rd party costs and keeping control of all your data. A menu helps you easily configure your system.
Cons ... I was looking for a RAID backup system that worked with full system backups. I needed a backup solution that had fast throughput using USB 3 or faster devices. My Cloud only provides a connection to your computer through the internet. Therefore, the speeds needed for large file or full system backups was not what I was looking for.
I recommend this anyone who does not need fast connection speeds and wants to be able to access all of their files from any internet connection.

Bose - SoundLink® Wireless Around-Ear Headphones - Black
Formerly called Bose® AE2w Bluetooth headphones, these Bose® SoundLink® around-ear headphones feature Bluetooth technology and earcup controls for simple operation of certain Apple® iPad® functions and rich wireless audio.
My question is ? The Bose - AE2w Bluetooth Headphones is good for games ?
I would definitely give them a try. They should work well either wired or using Bluetooth. If you want privacy and want to filter out the noise around you, these should work well. On the other hand, if you want to carry on a conversation with someone in the room while gaming, you will want something that does not cancel out the ambient noise around you.
